If you’re familiar with Singapore’s home bakers scene, you may have come across Youkneadcakes, a popular home-based business (HBB) known for their cakes and cookies. Good news: the humble HBB has just opened butter tgt, a cosy cafe in the CBD!

The new cafe is hidden on the second floor of a shophouse along Duxton Road, an easy five-minute walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. It sports a clean and minimalist look, with warm wood furnishings and pops of greenery, adding to the cosy living room vibe. There’s a long table on one end, a couple of four-seaters on the other, and a few chairs lined up against the windowsill.

The food menu is rather limited,  though fans of Youkneadcakes will be happy to know that the bakery’s signature Madeleines ($7.50) are available here. Sold as a set of three, these fluffy mini cakes require a 15-minute wait as they are baked to order.

You’ll also find savoury brunch fare such as Avocado Toast ($12), starring house-made garlic butter, and Grilled Cheese ($14), loaded with gouda, mozzarella, and cheddar.

If you want something lighter, order their Maple Granola ($14): house-made granola with Greek yoghurt and fresh fruits.

On the drinks menu, you’ll find the usual suspects of White ($6) and Black ($5) coffee, alongside a lesser-seen Iced Coconut Americano ($7.50). The Matcha ($8), made with ceremonial-grade matcha powder, is another popular pick.

In related food news, Cafe Barco is another new cafe by the popular tart bakery Wunderfolks. They’ve just popped up in the East, a minute’s walk away from Kaki Bukit MRT Station! Alternatively, read our new restaurants in July 2024 guide for other new food places to check out this month.
