From burger croissants to onigiri croissants, find out why these are some of the best croissants in Singapore.
The simple croissant in Singapore has undergone major transformations over the years, from variations we’re familiar with, such as the humble almond croissant and pain au chocolat, to unorthodox creations like Percolate’s Fishcake Laksa croissant.

Where are the best croissants in Singapore?
1. Da Paolo Gastronomia
At Da Paolo Gastronomia, croissants are made fresh by hand every single day. Using only the finest quality French butter, each croissant is crafted with care to deliver that perfect balance of buttery richness and delicate flakiness. Classic flavours include Plain, Chocolate (featuring two generous bars of chocolate), Almond, and a savoury Ham & Cheese, all expertly balanced and deeply satisfying. But what really sets Da Paolo Gastronomia apart are their ever-changing special flavours. From the tangy sweetness of Lemon Meringue to the irresistible balance of Honey Sea Salt, and the chewy surprise of the Pistachio Mochi Croissant, each limited-edition creation brings a bold, imaginative spin to the classic croissant. You can order their croissants here.

2. Alice Boulangerie
Is this really one of the best croissants in Singapore or is it just a gimmick? You might know them from their viral Giant Croissant that they released at the end of 2023. Well, Alice Boulangerie has just invented something even more absurd.
The Beef Royale ($27), perhaps the most expensive croissant in Singapore, features two croissant rolls with a beef patty, cheddar, smoked bacon, burger sauce and salad. It’s essentially a croissant burger.
If you’re not that adventurous of a foodie, rest assured, Alice Boulangerie does serve the classics, such as almond croissants, matcha croissants and kouign amanns.

4. Croissand
Located near Bugis, this new bakery has taken TikTok by storm with its seriously loaded savoury croissants.
If the photo fails to capture the sheer insanity of this creation, perhaps words will. It’s a croissant overflowing with truffle caviar, wagyu minced beef, Japanese sweet sauce, and melted Emmental cheese. Despite how packed it is, this croissant only costs $9.
Other crazy combinations include the Seafood Otah Mayo ($8) and Smoky Chicken Masalaa ($7).

7. Upgrain
Keto croissants seem to be getting more and more popular in Singapore. So, we’ve found the next best things — low carbs, high fibre, and high protein almost-keto croissants.
Upgrain is a Singapore food tech company that aims to recreate our favourite carb-heavy food, such as breads and noodles, into a low-carb alternatives. For instance, their Almond Croissant, $10.8 for a set of two, has 12g less carbs than a regular croissant.
As Upgrain is an e-commerce store, all purchases can only be made online.
8. Percolate
While Percolate markets itself as one of the best coffee speciality cafe in Singapore, its croissants should not be neglected.
Located in Bedok, their extensive menu includes a variety of sweet and savoury croissants. While both types of croissants were buttery and airy, the savoury ones retained their flakiness better.
The Smoked Salmon Croissant ($9.5) elevates the basic brunch ensemble with a smear of wasabi mayo, adding a touch of brightness to the croissant. Meanwhile, the Hae Bee Hiam Croissant ($8.5) adds a touch of locality into this French pastry.
Location: 136 Bedok North Ave 3, #01-152, Singapore 460136
Opening hours: 9am-7pm
9. Tiong Bahru Bakery
Another classic on this list, Tiong Bahru Bakery claims to be the best French bakery in Singapore, offering some of the best croissants. This prominent name has outlets all around the island — literally, they’ve opened at least three new ones in the past year.
With over ten types of viennoiseries and eight types of breads, it’ll take a couple of visits to get through every item on their menu. But, if you’re spoilt for choice, we recommend the Original Kouign Amann ($6.3). Flaky but moist, and baked with the right amount of sugar to keep you hooked without it being too decadent. Alternatively, the classic Plain Croissant ($4.5) is also a testament to the bakers’ skills.
Location: Multiple locations
10. Le Matin Patisserie
Le Matin Patisserie has come a long way. After shutting down both outlets at Tanjong Pagar and Orchard, they’re not working on collaborative basis with other brands, such as their recent pop-up at AIR CCCC.
11. 6 Letter Brunch
One of the most underrated cafes in Singapore for a good croissants, head down to 6 Letter Brunch, a pet-friendly cafe at Katong.
Part of their All-day Brunch menu, we recommend the Perfect Duet ($17), an elevated ham and cheese croissant. This is topped with three types of cheese — cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese, mozzarella — and uses a honey-glazed ham for that perfect sweet and salty balance.
Location: 103 Frankel Ave, Singapore 458225
Opening hours: 8am-9pm
12. brwd / KINN
For local-inspired croissants, check out brwd / KINN, an underrated cafe located in a capsule hotel.
The Kaya Butter Croissant and Butter Sugar Croissant, both priced at $5, was a pretty good experience. A decently flakey croissant base, with a satisfying amount of butter — we’re talking like chunks where you can just sink your teeth into the savour the goodness.
