Over the past three years, Mother Dough Bakery has been the go-to spot for fresh baked bread in the Arab Street stretch. Famed for their rustic loaves and almond croissants, the Muslim-owned bakery has now begun a new chapter by relocating their bakes to Kampong Glam.

They took to Instagram to announce the closure of their OG North Bridge Road outlet in mid-January, and have just recently opened the doors to their new Jalan Kledek store. Thankfully not located too far from the original, the new Mother Dough Bakery in Kampong Glam promises to be bigger and better.
Outfitted with a loft-style counter, their latest unit sports a second floor, which will be open for dine-in down the line. Currently, Mother Dough Bakery will solely offer takeaways, as per usual.

If you haven’t yet tried Mother Dough bakery, here’s a lowdown on what to get. Their massive Almond Croissants ($4.50) are non-negotiable if you’re big on pastry. Light and airy pastry folds over a generous slick of frangipane—sticky-sweet and delightfully messy to eat.

They also sell a rotating menu of other danishes, in flavours like peanut butter and jelly, fig, and many more.
Their Sticky Date ($5.50) pound cake is a lowkey gem, moist and rife with the honeyed hum of dates. Each slice is also glazed with buttery caramel.

Savouries are also available on rotation, as well as whole loaves.
Do come down earlier in the day to get your hands on their baked treats if you’re keen, as they tend to sell-out their wares by midday.
