Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

We think Yi Jia Bakery & Cafe offers a nostalgic experience, reminiscent of old-school bakeries.

Their waffles, priced at $1.50 for two slices with fillings like peanut butter or kaya, are a popular choice, though some find the waffle itself lacking in flavour.

The peanut butter filling, described as 'lava and thick,' seems to be a highlight.

Beyond waffles, the bakery is known for its fresh bread, with the chocolate cream bread and old-school coffee cake receiving praise.

They also offer a $3.20 breakfast set, making it an affordable option for a quick meal.

Mornings can be very busy, especially for coffee and bread, so we'd recommend visiting after 1pm if you're looking to dine in and secure a seat.

It's a reliable spot for a budget-friendly, traditional bakery experience.

What customers say

Yi Jia Bakery & Cafe is praised for its affordable, old-school baked goods like waffles, coffee cake, and chocolate cream bread, with many customers appreciating the fresh baking and value-for-money breakfast sets.

While some find the waffles lacking in standalone flavor, the unique lava peanut butter filling and friendly service, especially from 'uncle' for drinks, are highlights.

Mornings can be very crowded, suggesting off-peak visits for dining in.
