Singapore's home to a deluge of bakeries and patisseries, but if you're on the hunt for halal cakes, croissants, tarts and other delicious bakes, it might take a tad more searching. We've done a little sleuthing for some of the top Muslim-friendly and halal bakeries to get your carb cravings fixed.
Best Muslim-Friendly & Halal Bakeries In Singapore
This Muslim-owned bakery was conceived in 2017 by head baker Naadhira Ismail, who attended The International Culinary Institute in New York City and subsequently honed her skills at different bakeries and restaurants in the city.
You’ll get a variety of bakes each day, from croissants and baguettes to brioche buns, sourdough loaves as well as lemon cream tarts, Earl Grey chocolate scones, and fruit and savoury vegetable danishes.
Mother Dough Bakery is Muslim-owned.
At 3 Jalan Kledek, Singapore 199259. You can also pre-order here.
Helmed by husband and wife duo Ashraf Alami and Nursyazanna Syaira Mohammad Suhimi, Fluff Bakery has been around since 2012, with the bakery first offering luscious cupcakes in tempting and unique flavours that often sold out in a matter of hours.
Originally a small store at Jalan Pisang in 2013, it was relocated in 2021 to its current flagship store at North Bridge Road.
Since then, its arsenal of offerings has also expanded to include tarts, cakes, galettes, and whole cakes like the indulgent Ferrero Rocher Cake and Basque Burnt Cheesecake. But of course, you’ll want to get your hands on its cupcakes, with flavours like Nutella Red Velvet, Salted Caramel, and four other seasonal flavours.

Peer through Konditori’s window at Bussorah Street and you’d be hard-pressed not to head in to check out its mouthwatering display of baked goods, from danishes to tarts, pies and viennoiseries.
The artisanal European bakery is helmed by the same folks behind Swedish cafe Fika (which likely inspired its name — ‘konditori’ means patisserie in Swedish). But it’s particularly known for its croissants, which come in a mouthwatering array of flavours from Red Velvet, Chocolate, Cheese, Salted Caramel Cheesecake, and even Beef Satay.

Don’t see anything that tickles your fancy? You can order a customised creation, too.
The bakery, which has several outlets, also does bake boxes and delish tarts.

As you can guess from its name, sourdough bakes are the speciality here, and will find favour with those who prefer a more dense and sticky texture, as well as a noticeably tangier flavour.
Sourdough loaves aside, the brownies are also worth getting, with flavours like Rye Hazelnut Almond Brownie and Rye Strawberry Balsamic Brownie. You can also find tea cakes, sourdough buns, and tarts.

The creme brulee, torched on the spot, is a crowd-pleaser, as well as the hefty cinnamon bun, which is a best-seller.
Following its first store at Haji Lane, it has since opened two more outlets at Takashimaya and Hillion Mall.
