5. Mr Holmes Bakehouse Singapore
Hailing from San Francisco, the inventor of cruffin has finally landed on our sunny shores. Wondering what in the world is a cruffin? Well, it’s a delicious hybrid of croissant and muffin. It’s made of croissant dough and baked in muffin trays. The result? A glorious puffed-up pastry that’s layered and flaky on the outside but moist on the inside. Sugar-dusted and cream-piped, enjoy ‘em in flavours like German chocolate, Irish cream, and sun-dried tomato with bacon jam. Also look forward to other fab bakes like danishes, sticky buns and cream-stuffed donuts.

A gem of a find, Lickers is the perfect spot for a sweet midnight rendezvous as it’s open till 2am. You won’t spot any synthetic flavourings or off-the-shelf mixes in the house-made ice cream. We love its wacky flavours such as Yakult oreo and rockmelon yogurt. Yup, we’ve tried the former and let’s just say, we’re sold. If you’re not up to travel all the way to Hougang, the store delivers too!

Let’s get one thing straight: there’s nothing plain about Plain Vanilla’s cupcakes.

Pick from bestsellers like cinnamon brown sugar, strawberry white chocolate, and salted caramel.

Contrasting flavours have always been popular – hello, salted caramel and sea salt chocolate cookies. But who would’ve thought the mix of hot and cold desserts could be mind-blowing? To see what all the fuss is about, head to Creamery for its warm lava cookies topped with a scoop of ice cream. Expect the usual cookie flavours like red velvet, chocolate and matcha. But from time to time, you can look forward to seasonal flavours like ondeh ondeh and salted egg yolk lava cookies. Feel free to mix and match your picks to create the ultimate dessert.

We’re not joking when we say these brownies are the bomb diggity. They’re wonderfully fudgy, rich and moist! Having been trained in classical French patisserie at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in London, the owner brings her techniques to the kitchen with desserts baked to perfection. Indulge in a box filled with amazing flavours like chocolate walnut, salted caramel, peanut butter and Nutella. No regrets.
