10 Best Taiwanese Bakeries In Singapore
Taiwanese cafes and restaurants have a special place in the hearts of many Singaporeans, and so do Taiwanese bakeries.
From home-based businesses to chain stores, here’s our list of the best Taiwanese bakeries in Singapore for when you’re craving something other than kaya toast or pork floss bun.
- 1. Kazo
Specialising in a variety of Taiwanese-inspired bakes, Kazo is a Taiwanese bakery with more than 10 outlets across the country. Let’s start with their Baked Cheese Tarts, which you can get in either Original or Chocolate form at $3.80 each.
Else, you can buy the three-piece set at $11, or six-piece set at $20. Another must-try is their Crispy Cream Puff which comes in four different flavours: Hokkaido, Matcha, Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream.
Each puff is priced at $2.40! An elevated version of their cream puff is the Kazo Signature Polo, which boasts a nice textural contrast between a flaky exterior, and a soft dough within.
The Original ($3.30) comes without cream, or you can get the cream filling in Hokkaido, Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream flavours at $3.80 each. Read our Kazo review.

- 2. MuYoo
Another popular Taiwanese bakery in Singapore is MuYoo, which gained popularity over the years for their mochi buns and taro-flavoured bakes. The Omochi series comes in two flavours: Black Sesame and Peanut.
You can purchase them at $3.20 each, or get them in a bundle of six for $15.90. We recommend their mochi breads if you appreciate QQ buns with a generous filling within. For something more fun, get their Choz Banana QQ ($3.20).
It features banana chunks with chocolate paste within a stretchy and chewy bun. Read our MuYoo review.

- 3. Simple Cafe
Nestled in Lavender is Simple Cafe, a minimalist cafe with a warm ambience and Taiwan-style pastries. Their menu sees a variety of cakes, breads, and even brunch items.
A unique item worth trying is the Wintermelon Cake ($9+), which is essentially a choux pastry brimming with lemon curd and wintermelon cream, and topped with brown sugar jelly. There’s also the Lemon Cake ($9+) for fans of citrus flavours. This dessert resembles a tart more so than a cake, and is topped with a miniature lemon pound cake for an adorable finish.
If you prefer something more savoury, we recommend their Bagel (from $4.50+) or Spring Onion Amann ($7+): kouign-amann covered with a blanket of fluffy egg and spring onions! Read our Simple Cafe review. Address: 462A Crawford Lane, #01-73, Singapore 191462
Opening hours: Tue 9am to 5:30pm, Wed-Sun 9am to 6pm

You must get their Taro-Coco Donut ($3.50), which is an old-school doughnut covered with shredded coconut, and packed with creamy yam paste and konnyaku jelly.
For something a little more unique, try the Empress Longan ($5.60). This dense bread is similar to a sponge cake, and it’s filled with bits of honey longan and walnuts.
Alternatively, give their Ah-Pollo ($2.70) a shot for an airy bun filled with milky custard.
