11 Best Sourdough Singapore Bakeries With Fresh Bakes

Craving the best sourdough in Singapore? Our guide rounds up the top spots for sourdough bread in Singapore—including the French bakeries behind some of the freshest sourdough in town.

Is there anything more satisfying than a truly delicious loaf of freshly baked bread? That intoxicating scent … the comforting warmth … the perfect amount of crunch … nope, nothing tops it. You’ll find some of the best sourdough Singapore has to offer here, alongside incredible baguettes, croissants and pastries. We’ve handpicked our favourite spots for sourdough bread in Singapore, including the French bakeries where you’ll find artisanal, traditional bakes for your pantry.

P.S. Did you know there’s an actual “French Bread Law” (aka “the Bread Decree”) that spells out which ingredients and methods are allowable in order for a bakery to call itself a boulangerie? French bread can only contain flour, salt, yeast, and water–no other junk allowed! And the type of flour (and even water) used in the baking process makes a huge difference, too! You can also check out our easy bread recipes if you want to go the DIY route.

1. Little Farms: Only place for Starter Lab sourdough

Starter Lab bakes naturally leavened bread fresh every day. Each sourdough is properly fermented, which gives it that depth of flavour, a crisp crust, and a chewy bite. It’s good on its own, toasted with butter, or alongside a meal. They actually started out as their own bakery and café with a pretty loyal following, but closed their physical outlets a while back. The good news is that the sourdough didn’t disappear with it. It’s now sold exclusively through Little Farms instead. So if you’re after that same loaf, this is really the only place left to get it.

Beyond sourdough, Starter Lab also bakes buttery pastries, bagels, baguettes and other bakery staples. You can pick up a loaf at any Little Farms store, right alongside their fresh produce, pantry staples and other everyday groceries. Or order online at littlefarms.com, where orders above $100 come with free same-day delivery.

Little Farms, multiple locations in Singapore including Valley Point, Serangoon Garden, Raffles Place and Sentosa Cove, www.littlefarms.com

2. The Bakehaus: Popular sourdough spot in Singapore

Aficionados of baked goods often stop by The Bakehaus for their amazing sourdough loaves, which come in varieties like Olives and Za’atar, and Brown Butter Polenta (yum!). They’ve also got different, well-priced artisanal bakes such as baguettes, too. We also recommend trying their sweet bakes–we’ve heard rave reviews about The Bakehaus’ danishes and croissants. We love that this bakery in Singapore always has weekend specials where you can often find unique sourdough flavours.

3. Baker & Cook: Sourdough bakery in Singapore

We are massive fans of Baker & Cook for their sourdough! In addition to their friendly bakery-cafes that are located in various residential neighbourhoods, they serve up some killer artisanal breads and coffees. Not French per se, but Kiwi impresario Dean Brettscheneider (aka The Global Baker) employs European techniques and imports only top-notch ingredients. You can get free delivery for orders above $50.

5. Choupinette: French pastries in Singapore

Besides serving up yummy brunch classics, this French café and bakery in Bukit Timah also offers delicious French pastries and breads. Choupinette is one of our favourite bakeries in Singapore for breads and baguettes, but be sure you get there early as they sell fast!

6. Enjoué Bakery: Fresh daily bakes

French bakery Enjoué is known for their wonderful baguettes. All products are handmade and freshly baked daily using only flour, salt and water (and their own natural starter where applicable). We are big fans of their baguettes but we recommend eating them fresh for the ultimate crispiness. And those croissants … ooh la la! Online orders are available.

7. Kazo: Halal-certified sourdough

Kazo stands out as one of the few Halal-certified sourdough bakeries in Singapore. You’ll find their outlets in malls all over the island, like VivoCity, JEM and AMK Hub, making it easy to pick one up wherever you are. Beyond the classic sourdough, they also do multigrain, olive, walnut raisin, carrot walnut and even double chocolate. Prices are pretty reasonable too, nothing out of the ordinary for sourdough.

10. Tiong Bahru Bakery: Popular bakery in Singapore

Tiong Bahru Bakery began as a collaboration between celebrity French pastry chef Gontran Cherrier and all-around fabulous lady Cynthia Chua. He’s moved on, but the otherworldly croissants and incomparable Kouign Amann remain (thank goodness!). We’re also big fans of their sourdough, their sandwiches, and their creative coffees and teas, and adore the wholesome hot food menu at the Raffles City location. If you’ve never tried their Kouign Amann (pronounced queen-ah-mahn), you’re in for a treat! With its croissant-like dough and caramelised outer crust, you’ll definitely come back for seconds.

11. Woodlands Sourdough: Slow-fermented sourdough

Woodlands Sourdough is run by a husband-and-wife team who left their engineering jobs to turn their passion for baking into a full-time thing. Their sourdough uses wild yeast instead of the commercial stuff, so it takes longer to rise, but you get bread with a nice sweet, earthy, nutty flavour and just a little sourness. It’s moist and chewy, no shortcuts or preservatives. They also make their own spreads, like hummus with za’atar and honey nut butter, so it’s more than just bread. If you’re ever in Thomson, it’s worth stopping by.
