Better post a picture and review before I eat it all! Gym friend recommended me these and damn, they're good. Not really a sweets fan but I do love my savoury treats and the slightly burnt dark caramel and complex flavours of the Financiers really blew me away. Can't wait to try their Caneles, too. Madeleines are pretty and they've got unique flavours. You can pre-order to pick up if you're in the raffles place area.

Omg so so so so good scones and madeline!! The looks of the bakery like nothing much but it has one of best pastries in Singapore. Seriously. A true hidden gem. The garlic scone, vanilla madeleine and financiers are so fragrant, buttery, soft and divine. I already want to buy again.

Finally managed to get my hands on the garlic sourdough after 3 failed visits. My my, it was so worth it. Right amount of cream cheese though I wish there’s more garlic. The bread had a good crunch on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside. Divine!

the owner is super cheery and nice 🤩

👉🏼Scallion Cheddar Scone, $2.20 (3pcs for $5.80)
light and crumbly, just how i like em 😋 the hint of cheddar was justt right and the center being soft n warm while the crust stayed crisp is defo a dub 🤟

 👉🏼Dark Chocolate Valhorna Madeline
v fluffy and soft 💋 the chocolate is solid and it’s not too sweet at all rlly enjoyed this one teehee 😍

👉🏼Chocolate Banana 
the banana taste is v strong so it’s almost like eating banana bread :) idm tho i dooo wish the choc taste was stronger to compliment the strong banana taste 😗

apparently their bread is rlly yummy but when i got thr it wasn’t ready yet 🥹 i’m just glad i got a chance to try these treats since they close at 330pm and on weekends 😮‍💨🙏🏼 🚨🚨 do check me out @yumnomss on ig and lemon8 xoxo! 😋

Amazing buttery and crumbly scones! Nice to just have it as is without cream or jam. Very reasonably priced as well! Savoury and sweet were both awesome

Yes, their garlic cream cheese is one of the best in Singapore, but their most underrated item is probably the (pleasingly square) shokupan loaf. At $6.80, it’s really not cheap — but if you even claim to like bread then you have to try this at least once! Every thicccck slice is fluffy, soft and pleasantly chewy, and gets even more fragrant when toasted. I wouldn’t be able to afford this bread as a daily staple, but it sure makes a good treat. Kudos to the bakers who elevated such a humble food to heights of teatime perfection! :)

(From left to right) Hokkaido tokachi azuki butter roll, cheese mushroom focaccia, sourdough cream cheese with roasted garlic Loved the best seller (sourdough cream cheese with roasted garlic), one of the best garlic bread I've eaten. The bread is soft & chewy with a nice crunchy exterior even after 2 hours. The cream cheese is slightly sweet and sour which complements really well with the garlic bread. The cheese mushroom focaccia is delicious too. The focaccia is soft, fluffy and moist. Lots of mushroom on top of the focaccia. I've yet to try the Hokkaido tokachi azuki butter roll. It looks good and the bread is quite soft and fluffy. I might fall in love with it just like how fall in love with the cream cheese bun & cheese mushroom focaccia.😂😂😂 Can't wait to try the rest of their bread selection! The breads here are slightly more expensive than the regular neighbour bakery. But it's considered quite affordable when you consider the ingredients used and the effort needed to made the breads. The bakery even made their own sourdough starter which takes lots of effort to culture. They are usually sold out before their official closing time so do contact them via WhatsApp before you head down.

Small bakery with warm and delicious baked goods. The scent of baked bread lingers in the bakery store from the moment you enter the bakery. Owner/Baker is friendly and welcoming too :) will come again if I'm around the area and will come early!!

Madeleines, scones, financiers - all great! I LOVE IT! Can't wait to try their other bakes.

C.

i enjoyed their bakes and like that they are sold in small sizes so i could try a variety! price is reasonable too.

D. C.

Creative and passionate for his all bakes! We love dropping by to have a chat with boss and the ideas behind his bakes! Wonderful food, great atmosphere, we always end up buying more than we intend to but no regrets!

They are selling the best scones in SG!!None of the flavours will disappoint you trust me...Have been eating the scones for afternoon tea quite a while and still cannot live without them hahah!Super Addictive!

Desem is a hidden gem, their bakes are out of the world... its sooooo damnnnnnn GOODD!!! I would get my weekly sometimes biweekly supplies and store them in the freezer, thaw it and just throw it into my air fryer for a “Come on today I am ready for you to hit me in da face” kinda breakfast 🤣 I highly recommend their Pink Himalayan Charcoal Butter Roll (there’s a cheese version and it’s GOOD as well), Hokkaido Azuki Butter Roll, their scones ok I can go on and onnn... they got me HOOKED. Owner Norman is an absolute joy (imma malairen) and he would go to the extend of checking if the cheese he uses is halal certified. I bought for some friends and family members and so far I’ve only heard positive reviews - MUST DIE DIEEE TRYYYYY!!!!

Despite the short opening hours, you could feel the owners put in a lot of planning and effort into the baked good! They are not what you would expect from ordinary breads, every bite was mind blowing! Definitely would like to get more tomorrow!

I chanced upon this lovely bakery this late evening. Saw the beautiful shop and decided to go in and try it out. Had a wonderful experience chatting with the friendly owner. The bread is so soft and fluffy, very tasty. The owner is so warm, service is excellent.

One of the best versions of garlic cream cheese bread with lots of other amazing items as well such as the creme brûlée egg tart and the lemon scones. Polite and friendly owner with great service.

A bakery that carefully uses Japanese flour and ingredients. It's a very delicious and popular restaurant, but the opening hours and access to the location are...
