TAKUPAN

For a croissant-style bake, look out for the cinnamon rock or an apple-pie-inspired pastry made with croissant dough. One visitor praised the cinnamon rock’s crunchy texture, while another found the croissant memorable for its crisp outside and pleasantly chewy bite. For something sweet, there are also cream buns. Some customers have chosen the generously filled version, while others have tried the “adult cream bun”, noted for its aroma of liquor.

If you’re looking for bread to go with a meal, consider the baguette and the heartier savoury bakes. One customer who bought a baguette filled with ratatouille and a cheese fondue bake reported that both were substantial and well browned. Another described the aged baguette as crisp and chewy, and easy to pair with a meal; the cheese lasagne, meanwhile, had a rich flavour with a lively tang of tomato. A spicy keema curry bun also made an impression as a lunch choice, with its soft bread—unlike a fried curry bun—and generous amount of curry.

The bakery is small and has no seating, so purchases are for takeaway. One visitor noted that staff took the order from the displayed selection, so it may help to decide what catches your eye before going in. There have also been reports of fewer items in the late afternoon; if you’d like a wider choice, consider going earlier.
