From Versailles to Singapore : 5 Reasons to Choose Bastille Bakery
- - Gastronomy
1. Authentic French baking, done the right way
Bastille Bakery stays true to classic French techniques. Every pastry, bread and viennoiserie is baked onsite, with no shortcuts and no compromise. The focus is on precision, balance and flavour — the kind of baking that feels timeless rather than trendy.
2. A founder with a true baker’s journey
Behind Bastille Bakery is JD, a Paris-trained baker whose career has taken him across kitchens on several continents. That experience shows in every detail: confident recipes, thoughtful execution and a deep respect for tradition, shaped by years of hands-on craft.
3. Refined pastries with a light touch
What sets Bastille apart is its restraint. The pastries are indulgent, yet never heavy. Flavours are clean, textures are carefully balanced, and sweetness is always measured. From croissants to éclairs and tarts, everything feels elegant without trying too hard.
4. A neighbourhood bakery you’ll keep coming back to
Bastille Bakery is not just about what’s in the display case — it’s about how it feels. Warm, welcoming and unpretentious, it’s the kind of bakery you return to for your morning coffee, a casual treat, or a comforting taste of home.
5. Our favourite pick: the chouquettes
Light, airy and bite-sized, Bastille’s chouquettes are our absolute favourite. These small puffs of choux pastry, topped with crunchy pearl sugar, are made to be eaten in one bite — addictive, delicate and effortlessly good. Perfect for sharing… or not.
