Our take: Tiong Bahru Bakery at Tanglin is a reliable spot for pastries and coffee, especially for those in the Botanical Gardens vicinity.
We've noted consistent praise for their baked goods, with the Kouign Amann and the new Salted Egg Cruffin ($6 before tax) frequently highlighted.
The cruffin, in particular, seems to be a standout, offering a sandy, milky, and savoury salted egg yolk filling that some reviewers prefer over the previous brioche version.
Coffee, like the latte, is generally well-received for its smoothness.
However, we'd advise against visiting during peak weekend hours if you're seeking a quiet brunch.
Reports indicate it can get very busy, leading to potential confusion with orders, such as takeaway packaging for dine-in requests.
While the atmosphere is often described as cozy, the crowds can detract from the experience.
We think it's best for a quick stop or a weekday visit to fully appreciate the fresh bakes and coffee without the rush.

What customers say
Tiong Bahru Bakery is highly regarded for its freshly baked goods, particularly the Kouign Amann, Cream Cheese Spring Onion Shio Pan, and the new salted egg cruffin, which customers find superior to the previous brioche.
While the coffee, like the mocha and latte, is generally well-received, some patrons experience issues with service, such as orders being incorrectly prepared for takeaway when dining in, and the atmosphere can be overly crowded, especially on weekends.
Despite occasional service inconsistencies and crowded conditions, the quality of the pastries and bread remains a strong draw.
