Petit Pain Reopens In Joo Chiat With Famous Croissants, Fresh Breads And More

Petit Pain reopens in Joo Chiat with fresh croissants

You’d have heard of Petit Pain if you’re a die-hard croissant fan. The Joo Chiat bakery rose to internet fame for its delicious pastries and fresh breads, often sporting long lines in the morning even before its official opening time.

Back in July 2024, the brand announced that they were moving out of their space, much to the dismay of their regulars. But here’s a piece of good news: Petit Pain has officially reopened at 17 Joo Chiat Place, a mere eight-minute walk from their previous bakery.

According to a recent Instagram post, the bakery is now in its soft-opening phase. If you’re visiting this week, do note that they’re only open from Thursday to Sunday, 10.30am to 2.30pm. Judging by how popular they are, we recommend dropping by earlier in the morning to snag some bakes.

You can likely expect their famous Croissant (price TBD) here. The pastry utilities precise lamination techniques by owner Mark, who previously worked at Artisan Boulangerie Co.

The croissant is said to be perfectly flaky and crispy on the outside with a soft and airy crumb. Having tried this at the old Petit Pain bakery before their move, I can confirm that it’s one of the best croissants I’ve had in Singapore.

You’ll also find other freshly baked goods such as Kouign Amann ($4.60), Petit Lemon Brioche ($4.80), and Traditional Baguette ($4), made with French flour.

Before you leave, grab a loaf of Honey Brioche ($7.80), prepared with Thai longan honey, Hokkaido flour, and premium French butter.
