Amethyst Pastry & Cakes

We note that their pineapple tarts are consistently highlighted as a strong point, particularly during festive seasons, with both regular and cheese pineapple versions receiving positive mentions.

While the bread selection was once a point of contention, it seems to have improved, and waffles are now prepared fresh and hot, a welcome change from previous reports of cold and soggy offerings.

Customers can even request crispier waffles.

However, we observe that the bakery's payment policies can be rigid.

One reviewer reported an inability to add an item and pay digitally after an initial transaction, with staff insisting on cash for add-ons and refusing to cancel and re-do orders.

This lack of flexibility, especially in an era of prevalent digital payments, is a notable drawback.

We think the bakery could benefit from a wider and more modern bread selection, and potentially refining their waffle offerings further, such as using creamy peanut butter or enhancing pandan flavour.

Verdict: A solid option for festive treats like pineapple tarts and improved fresh waffles, but be aware of potentially inflexible payment policies for add-ons.
