Tiong Bahru Bakery by Gontran Cherrier

Gontran Cherrier is famous artisan boulanger from Paris. He recently opened Bakery store in Tiong Bahru, Singapore.

Tiong Bahru is an old charming estate, which welcome its guests not only locally but globally as well!

You would never thought of unique stores would set up their businesses in tranquil heartland of Tiong Bahru instead of shopping districts like Marina Bay Sands or Orchard.

At Block 56 Eng Hoon Street (Near to Tiong Bahru Market), you can spot Tiong Bahru Bakery easily as the logo is quite big with Chinese character 中峇鲁 (Tiong Bahru) on the wall.

When you pushed through the swivel door, you can smell the freshly baked bread! Not only that, the friendly staffs will smile and welcome you! During the off peak hours, you can be able to choose the seats of your choice else, the friendly staff will allocated for you.

There are various tasty and yummy breads and cake for you to choose from the counter. Guess what? Their ingredients are shipped from France to ensure that you can taste it as you are in France! Not sure what to eat? Freak not, you can ask the friendly staff for recommendation.

I loves their original croissant! It is crispy, crushing and yummy! If you are chocolate lover, you can choose Chocolate croissant. If you have sweet tooth, perhaps you can consider Brioche (Sugar). I find it too sweet.

If you need butter or jam for your bread, you can help yourself at the counter. Please take if you really need it!

Brioche (Sugar) - S$2.80

Croissant Chocolate- S$3.20

Croissant- S$2.50

For drink wise, you can order Chocolate, Coffee or Tea. The Drink basically cost you from the range of S$6.00 to S$8.00.

If you prefer ice water, you can help yourself by pouring a glass of ice water at the counter or you can take one big bottle of ice water and put at your dining table if you are sharing with your love one.

Even their toilet are special too! They designed as if we are in the 70's and it's well decorate and retro feel!

If you are in a hurry, you can take away as well! Please prepare your own bag as they only provided you take away brown paper bags without handle due to Eco-friendly concept. I know its pretty inconvenient. Or you can choose to buy their canvas bag at S$10.
