Homies Bakery is a bakery at 761 Yishun Street 72, #01-346, in Yishun, Singapore. It holds a Google rating of 2.6 from 5 reviews. Customers mention butter buns, fresh buns, egg tarts and a golden pyramid bun filled with egg, ham and cheese. Reviewers praise the flaky crusts of the Chinese pastries and the crisp peanut butter waffles, though reviews are mixed overall.
A good traditional bakery is judged on the texture of its buns and pastries, which should be soft and fresh inside, with crusts that flake rather than stick together. Savoury buns and egg tarts are best eaten the same day, so asking how recently items were baked is a fair question at the counter. Waffles and other pan-cooked items lose their crispness quickly, so it helps to eat them soon after you buy them. Regulars tend to choose a few favourites and check the trays early in the day, when the selection is widest.
Yishun is a mature residential town with many local bakeries and hawker stalls, which makes this shop a handy stop for a simple bun or tart close to home.
