12 Korean Cafes In Singapore For Cube Croissants, Loaded Bagels And More
1. B For Bagel
Popular Korean bagel brand B For Bagel first opened at Tanglin Mall in 2022, and they have expanded to Great World and Parkway Parade ever since.
Recently, our team went down to the branch at Parkway Parade to try their new range of bagels. Out of the lot, the Green Onion Cream Cheese ($7.90) was a crowd-favourite thanks to the winning combination of sesame bagel, chopped green onions, and thick cream cheese. If you’re a fan of garlic like us, the Garlic Cream Cheese ($6.90) is a great choice; this one’s crispy with melted garlic cream cheese within. For a Korean bagel with a local twist, go for the Coconut Kaya Butter ($6.90). It features a bagel topped with coconut shreds, and a slab of butter and Hainanese kaya in between.Â

2. Boseong Ricecake

In case you didn’t know, tteokbokki isn’t the only kind of Korean rice cake you can find in Singapore. Boseong Ricecake is a legit kiosk run by a Korean in Beauty World, and they offer a lovely variety of traditional rice cakes here.
Each box is priced at $5, and there are more than 10 flavours to choose from. If muah chee is your jam, you’ll enjoy the Injeolmi Tteok—just think of a really chewy mochi coated in roasted soybean powder. A personal favourite is the Pumpkin Pat Siroo, which is made with short-grain rice, red bean, and pumpkin. It also comes with a mildly sweet pumpkin puree within! Here’s another W: the kiosk stands right next to Beauty World MRT Station.Â

4. Haengbok Cakeyo

Haengbok Cakeyo was ahead of the curve with their Korean-inspired treats when they first started their dessert business in 2021.Â
Unlike in Singapore, where it’s less common, dacquoise is a popular dessert in Korea. For those who want to give it a try, we recommend the Dacquoise Korean-style Cookie Sandwich Set that comes in a box of six for $18. Each set includes six different flavours: Pistachio, Matcha, Yuzu, Sesame, Chocolate, and Strawberry. There’s also the Seashell Fatfatcarons ($52 for eight), which are essentially huge macarons stuffed with flavoured cream and toppings. Some flavours include Oreo Cheesecake, Blueberry Burst, and Rainbow Vanilla.

5. Hodunamu

Helmed by a Korean imo AKA auntie is Hodunamu, which translates to walnut tree. This humble store is a seven-minute walk from Outram Park MRT Station, and many Koreans visit them for legit traditional rice cakes, otherwise known as tteok.Â
It’s a must to get the Rainbow Rice Cake ($6), a layered tteok of four or five different colours. Natural ingredients are used to create these beautiful colours, such as mugwort for green, and beetroot for purple. Speaking of mugwort, they also have Mugwort Rice Cake ($6). To really know the taste of mugwort, you must try it for yourself. But the closest description would be that it’s slightly earthy, herbal, and bitter!
Address: 2 Everton Park, Block 2, Singapore 081002
Opening hours: Mon-Tue, Thurs-Sat 10am to 5pm, Sun 10am to 3pm

6. DESEM

DESEM is a minimalist bakery located right next to Raffles Place MRT Station. Though not exactly a Korean bakery, they offer a wide range of Korean-inspired bakes that cafes in Korea serve up.
Starting with their selection of madeleines, there are Korean Yuzu and Double Cream Cheese for your consideration, and three pieces are priced at $5.80! Alternatively, get their scones that come in more than 10 flavours. For the most Korean-inspired flavours, we recommend the Chive Cream Cheese and Garlic Butter. A box of 10 costs $18.80, which works out to be about $1.90 a scone.Â
Address: 9 Raffles Place, #B1-16, Republic Plaza, Singapore 048619
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 7:45am to 3:30pm

Three Petals Cake Studio is one of the most popular home-based cake businesses in Singapore with more than 34K followers on Instagram.
Prices start from $55 here, and the sky’s the limit when customising the cake of your dreams as designs range from vintage to even picture illustrations. What we really like is the selection of interesting cake flavours here, including Choco Mint Chip, Choco Sea Salt Caramel, and Mocha with Cream Cheese Frosting. They even sell cute candles with the likes of Smiley Candle ($1.50) and Brown Bear Candle ($2.50).

Here’s another home-based business selling Korean rice cakes in Singapore: The Songpyeon House. They are known for their flower-shaped rice cakes in pretty pastel shades!
Their Box B ($22) is the bestseller: eight pieces of round rice cakes and 10 flower-shaped ones are in each box. For the regular rice cakes, you can choose your filling to be Peanut Sesame, Chocolate Chips, or Black Sesame. If you can’t make up your mind, just opt for a random mix of all three! The flower-shaped rice cakes are packed with sweet honey, and they come in different colours.
