Bakery Brera
A heartland artisan bakery known for cruffins, kouign amann, sourdough and pastries.
Bakery Brera has been baking from Empress Road since 2016 and now also runs a cafe at National Gallery Singapore. Its range covers French butter croissants, pain au chocolat, kouign amann, cruffins, sourdough, baguettes, cakes, pies and savoury pastries. The bakery highlights handmade, small-batch production and publishes a daily bake schedule, which is useful for timing fresh loaves and pastries. It has also become a popular option for gifting and corporate boxes, while keeping a neighbourhood bakery character at the flagship store.
Bakery Brera is strong because it offers breadth without losing its bakery identity. You can pick up a sourdough loaf, a caramelised kouign amann, a cruffin and a savoury danish in one stop, and most items feel made for repeat buying rather than just photos. The Empress Road outlet has the stronger neighbourhood charm, while the National Gallery cafe gives the brand more dining appeal. The trade-off is that the large menu means not every item is equally memorable, so stick to the pastry and bread signatures.
It stands out for range, accessibility and strong everyday craft, with enough signature items to appeal to both bread buyers and pastry fans.
