But what makes Cedele unique is not the amount of variety that it offers. No, what Cedele offers is the use of traditional baking techniques without using any artificial agents.

You’ll need to be an early-bird to catch their hot and freshly baked bread though which comes in three types. These are the sweet, savoury and organic. And while you’re out bread shopping then you can also enjoy breakfast with their eggs benedict or their selection of gourmet sandwiches and soups.

19. Maison Kayser

Highlights

• Innovative use of flavours
• Use of modern machinery

Widely renowned for their French recipes, Eric Kayser’s eponymous bakery is also being famous for its invention of Fermentolevain (a machine that creates and maintains liquid leaven). But keeping the science aside, this machine is responsible for its exquisite quality and unmatched demands for products like the famed croissant, which has even been named as the best by Paris’ Figaro newspaper.

Among their huge list of artisan loaves, one that attracts a lot of attention is the ‘Rusti’ bread, which is sprinkled with seeds and always gets gobbled up the same day due to its unique taste.

Also, the bakery offers wholemeal pita bread, chocolate buns for the kids, and excellent baguettes which won’t go unnoticed either.

21. Wunderfolks

Highlights

• Fresh tarts made by hand and from scratch
• Several flavours that complement the crust
• 2-in-1 flavoured tarts also available

Enjoying a good tart is akin to a trip to heaven and back if you ask us! And the folks over at Wunderfolks agree with this as well.

The tarts come in a variety of flavours, all of which wonderfully complement the texture and flavour of the crust. It isn’t too sweet nor too bland, which is so hard to find.

Their best-selling tarts are the Fruitilicious Fruit Tart, Lemony Meringue Tart and Dark Chocolate Tart. And you shouldn’t miss out on any of them because each one is better than the rest. Be sure to place your orders at least 2-3 days so that your orders can be confirmed at the earliest. If this is your first time ordering, you can order their ‘Little Trio’ set which contains one each of the above flavours.

22. Petit Pain

Highlights

• Classic delights available
• No use of artificial sweeteners or chemicals
• Small batches only

In a world full of artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and chemicals, you might feel as though the authentic taste of baked cuisines has become a myth. But amid all these, there is still a hidden gem in the neighbourhood of Joo Chiat.

Popularly known by its local name, Petit Pain has become a synonym for baked bread and cuisine lovers. The main speciality delights of Petit Plan are the pain au chocolat and the Swedish cinnamon buns, and the kanelbullar. Besides these, you must also try their famous croissants which are light, buttery and flakey. They’re so good when they’re fresh but they can be hard to get as the bakery only creates a small batch of this delight.

That’s another thing about this bakery. Its goods get sold-out pretty quickly as they believe in creating small batches to keep up the high-quality.

This list of the best local bakeries in Singapore has provided you with a quick snapshot of where to find these amazing hidden gems. Often tucked away in less well-known areas, these bakeries always carry a chill vibe, making them a great place to escape and relax.
