Last December, the hip Jalan Besar enclave welcomed La Levain, an artisanal bakery cafe that’s helmed by executive chef Wythe Ng, formerly of Keong Saik Bakery and Bakery Brera.

The cosy industrial chic interiors with rustic elements make for a cosy space for get-togethers while nibbling on viennoiseries. These run the gamut from classics to ones with global influences or given a local twist. Think Kouign Amann, Pain Au Chocolat, Burnt Cheese Croissant, Bo Bo Cha Cha Croissant, Hojicha Mochi Croissant ($6.80+), and his signature Cruffins (from $4.60+).

It has brunch options too (8.30am to 2pm) with delish plates of Avocado Tartine with Egg ($14+), Peanut Butter Tarine ($8+), and the Big Breakfast ($19.80+) loaded with eggs, sausage, mushrooms, pickled cucumbers, and sourdough bread.

La Levain is at 23 Hamilton Road, Singapore 209193. Visit its website for more info.

The Midtown Mall in Hougang is home to a bakery that’s helmed by a former head baker from Shangri-La. Opened in August last year, it presents a menu of sourdough loaves, scones, cakes and vienoisseries.

You can expect the menu to be ever-changing, but some mainstays include the buttery and flaky Original Croissant ($4.50) or the Garlic Cheese Croissant ($5.50), as well as the crowd-favourite Kimchi Mozzarella Sourdough ($11.50) with a distinct flavour of the fermented cabbage.

Scone lovers will want to get their hands on the various mochi scones with a stretchy, goopy mochi centre, like the Hojicha honey mochi scone 9$4.50). There are also cakes as well as fruit and chocolate tarts to sink your teeth into.

Originally a home-based baking business, the owners of Humble Bakery took crafting their bakes out of a commercial kitchen last September. You’ll find brownies and Basque burnt cheesecakes here, alongside Korean-style scones.

Apart from the original scone ($3.30), inventive flavours include the Earl Grey & Fig scone ($3.50), infused with the scent of bergamot and studded with bits of dried figs. Or try the Double Chocolate & Kaffir Lime Scones ($3.50), that Belgian dark couverture callets with zesty kaffir lime leaves.
