This Hidden CBD Bakery Has Fresh Scones And Madeleines Under $2

DESEM Dessert is a CBD bakery in Raffles Place

The CBD area isn’t all about fancy, expensive restaurants. There’s also fun in exploring hidden bakeries in the business district: Eat Rich and Pawa Bakery are two great examples. Recently, a bakery tucked away at Republic Plaza in Raffles Place got on our radar: DESEM Dessert, a hidden kiosk that comes through with their trendy bakes and viennoiseries.

The bakery is best known for their wide selection of scones and madeleines, though the flavours change up from time to time.

You can mix and match three bakes of your choice at a wallet-friendly price of $5.80, which works out to just under $2 per piece. Else, just get one to try at $2.20! Starting with the scones, some interesting flavours worth trying include Scallion Cheddar Cheese, Garlic Butter, and Oreo Chocolate Chips.

If you prefer madeleines to scones, consider from flavours such as Yuzu, Red Velvet, Vanilla Bean Madagascar and more. Since you’re already there, we recommend getting a box of 10 for $18.80 to share with your loved ones.

From their Instagram page, we can tell that DESEM Dessert is experimental with their range of breads and bakes. In the past, they’ve had seaweed shio pan, dark chocolate sourdough croissant and more, which goes to show that scones and madeleines are not all they have to offer.
