The new restaurant will open at Level 2 of the mall, a six-minute walk from Somerset MRT Station.

For those who don’t know, THE CITY BAKERY was founded in New York City in 1990 as a small neighbourhood bakery. The shop soon gained a following for its freshly baked pastries, sandwiches, and signature Pretzel Croissant. The brand later expanded overseas to Japan, where it opened multiple outlets and continues to operate to this day.

While its original New York outlet has since closed, the chain remains active in Japan, with over 40 outlets globally, most of which are located there. The Singapore opening at Mandarin Gallery marks its first outlet here, bringing its signature bakes and restaurant concept to local diners.

The bakery will bring over its famous Pretzel Croissant, alongside freshly baked pastries, scones and more. Beyond the bakery counter, the outlet will also feature a restaurant menu with dishes such as tapas, pastas, burgers, and steaks.

Prices are yet to be released; we’ll update this article once we get more information.

The Pretzel Croissant combines laminated pastry dough with the savoury flavours of a German pretzel. It’s said to be flaky on the outside, with a slightly chewy centre.

Alternatively, go for the Pretzel Bagel, another iconic bake that pairs the chewy, dense texture of a traditional New York bagel with the distinct flavour of a soft pretzel.

The bakery’s hot chocolate is said to be delicious, too, topped with a soft house-made marshmallow.
