With the ongoing pandemic keeping our travel plans at bay, we’re having to forgo the Italian gelato and French pastries we could be having. The good news is, there are alternatives within our neighbourhood that will satisfy our sweet tooth just as well.

Forget the usual haunts packed with diners looking for their next Instagram shoot. The next time you want to have your cake and eat it, escape the crowd and visit these lesser-known cafes tucked in the nooks and crannies of the heartlands. Whether you’re craving some handmade ice cream or aesthetic cupcakes, these neighbourhood patisseries have got you covered.

The Ugly Cake Shop
custom

Don’t let its name fool you. The Ugly Cake Shop is known for making cupcakes with zero artificial colouring, but it scores just as high on aesthetics as the next patisserie. Taking a more natural approach, the shop prides itself on its healthy cakes, free of artificial colouring, gum paste, and marzipan, which many other shops use to make their cakes pretty. And the icing on top? 20 percent of their proceeds goes to feeding undernourished children in Timor-Leste.

The Ugly Cake Shop is located at 535 Kallang Bahru, #01-06 GB Point, Singapore 339351, tel. 8228 8300, website

Lee’s Confectionary
custom

Lee’s Confectionery may sound like your cosy neighbourhood patisserie, but it is in fact helmed by a patissiere with experience working in Paris. Its made-to-order plated desserts hits all the right notes from taste to presentation, and come at affordable prices to boot. Its kaya is made with earl grey leaves, which enhances the flavour with a smoky citrusy aftertaste, so give the earl grey-infused kaya Puff a go. Its other headliner is the meticulously plated Jiāo, a fluffy  banana sponge cake filled with banana compote and mascarpone, perched on an oatmeal crust and coated with white chocolate.

Lee’s Confectionary is located at 343 Jurong East Street 31, #01-59, Singapore 600343, website

Voyage Patisserie
custom

Tiong Bahru might be the spot for hipster cafes but, there’s always a new gem to discover. Just a quick bus ride from Tiong Bahru Station is Voyage Patisserie, a date night-worthy cafe that opened in August 2019. The founder/chef also did a two-year stint in France and offers quintessential French pastries using Asian ingredients,  such as Le Pain Perdu, which features a contrast of brûléed French toast and house-made salted Hokkaido milk ice-cream. For a lighter fare, go for their tarts, such as the Bassenay Black Cherry Tart, which uses French cherries to top off the layers of whipped cream and sponge cake. 

Voyage Patisserie is located at 249 Outram Road, Singapore 169048, tel. 6223 2490, website
