Editor’s Note

Last updated 4 Nov 2026

Our take: Big Bakery is a long-standing establishment, praised for its old-school charm and consistent quality over decades.

We think their Custard Puff, priced at $1.60, is a standout item, noted for its aromatic, eggy pastry and perfectly sweet custard.

The Apple Pie ($3.20) also receives frequent mentions as a popular choice, though some prefer the Custard Puff.

Other items like the Chicken Char Siew bun and Pineapple Tarts are also well-regarded.

While many appreciate the fresh-baked quality, there are occasional reports of soggy crusts on items like egg tarts and crumble pies, suggesting that freshness can vary.

Service is consistently described as friendly and approachable.

We'd recommend visiting during a weekday afternoon, post-lunch, when the bakery is quieter and there's still a good selection of bakes available.

It's a reliable spot for nostalgic treats and a friendly experience.

Verdict: A solid choice for traditional bakes, especially the Custard Puff, best enjoyed during off-peak hours.

What customers say

Big Bakery is widely praised for its nostalgic, old-school charm and consistent quality over many years, with customers frequently highlighting the friendly service from the staff, including the 'lady boss' and 'uncle and aunty'.

Signature items like the custard puff, apple pie, and chicken char siew bun receive high recommendations, though some items like the apple crumble pie and egg tarts can occasionally be disappointing due to sogginess or being out of stock.

The bakery is a popular choice for both individual treats and larger orders for events like factory teabreaks.
