Mr. Holmes Bakehouse Singapore

Came on a weekday morning, it was quite empty. Ordered the sundried tomato bacon cruffins and yuzu cream donut, with chai latte. Cream inside cruffin was not warm even after staff heated it up. Food tasted ok generally but a bit too sweet for my liking. Also drink was extremely overpriced in such a small cup (about 7.5+ before taxes).

Went on a weekday early morning and enjoyed the peace with no queue. Ordered a few times for takeaway. Was told only will be able to get a box for 6 items but reading previous reviews it's okay to have an item in a bag each. Loved the cruffin! Ordered the mint chocolate and the filling was almost all the way to the bottom. Didn't really taste as "minty" as I have expected it but it was still pretty good. Loved the croissants too. Ordered the lemon and the matcha one which was quite flavorful, would be nicer if the matcha taste could be stronger. Donut was just really more of average, so was the filling. Would give a miss for that.

Jan’ 2022: With a menu overhaul, they have more interesting bakes such as Irish Cream Cruffin and Bacon Mac & Cheese Danish. But noteworthy mentions will be these two! The toothsome Everything Donut ($5.80) is piped with chive and caper cream cheese, then glazed with spicy Sriracha honey and a coat of house-made Everything seasoning. Giving it a sweet, savoury and slightly spicy bite all at once. But my heart goes to their Sundried Tomato & Bacon Jam ($7.50). The new flaky pastry has a filling of tomato, chive cream cheese and bacon jam, complete with crispy cheese skirts. ~ 2021: Tiramisu Cream Cruffin ($5.80) - While cruffin was a delight, the layers were more dry than buttery probably cos it had no fillings inside but for a dollop of coffee mascarpone cream on top. Strawberries & Cream Donut ($5.80) - Surprisingly we prefer the donut over cruffin. Bomboloni-style, the soft brioche bun is pipped with tangy strawberry jam and light cream. P.S: deck out in pink and white, it’s a place made for ootds too! Especially at that famous neon light sign!

Came during lunch time and the place was empty. Appreciated the innovative flavours of the savory items - French onion Danish/ham and cheese croissant/ California croissant, etc. All the pastries were also very pretty and presented well. HOWEVER, this cafe hasn't taken any steps to improve the 6-items-squashed-in-a-box issue that many other customers have complained about. I, too, was told there can only be 6 items in a box, no less, because they "only have 1 size of box". So I watched as the counter staff tried to Tetris all my 6 items into the not-big-enough box. Then watched in horror as he shoved down the lid on at least 2 of the items that were clearly still sticking out. The result was a squashed chocolate croissant and the top of my cruffin flattened. For this, they get a 2 star - why can't you just make a larger box? Or allow 5 items?? Flavor-wise, enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant, but the chocolate croissant was a little dense and not as flaky as expected (quite possibly due to the squashing). #bakery #localguides

Cute little pink cafe right at the enterance of pacific plaza. The decor is pink and very Instagram. The set with coffee/tea and croissant comes at 11, which is a little higher than others, but all good. The server is sweet and polite. Coffee is strong, croissant is filling. Service is fresh and fast. There is a sense of calm in this Cafe. More for the relaxed. 4 on 5 for me.

Got to try their “croissant and coffee set”, which give you a croissant (choose between butter, chocolate or matcha) and coffee/tea for $10, excluding service charge and GST. The coffee and mocha are average, the croissants are slightly above average, while the banoffee donut is delicious! The taste was very refreshing, and I will definitely try it again. I was here at 2pm on a weekday, and there is only one other customer in the shop. So, if you like to spend a quiet afternoon, enjoying coffee with some pastries, you can come at this timing.

It was a surprise! The ham cheese croissant is highly recommended! I would say it’s gourmet ham and cheese croissant! They put onion in the croissant that made it more tasty and the dough tasted good. You can and should ask them to heat it up. Much better than the Starbuck’s croissant! Chai latte was nice The rose donut was nice too. Enjoyed the flavor.

Visited Mr Holmes Bakehouse this morning. I had hot chocolate with almond milk and a Tomato Pesto Melt. So yummy! I was the only other customer there and it was quiet for a Sunday late morning. The service was fast and they delivered food to my table after ordering. There seemed to be some exhibit going on and there is a kiosk you can buy cool stuff from. Do support this lovely place.
