Oishi Pan Bakery has been baking fresh bread daily since 2016, and its Toa Payoh Central store serves as the flagship among three outlets across Singapore. The name says it all — "Oishi Pan" translates to "delicious bread" in Japanese, and the bakery has built its identity around handmade baked goods using both traditional Japanese and modern baking techniques.
Described by regulars as an unpretentious, small corner bakery serving seriously high-quality bread at modest prices, Oishi Pan has built a loyal following in Toa Payoh. The bakery holds a 4.4-star rating on Google from 161 reviews, with customers repeatedly singling out the German Sourdough as a standout — one reviewer noted moving to the neighbourhood and buying a loaf every week since, praising its well-fermented, rich flavour and chewy crust.
The bakery's everyday lineup includes the Light & Airy Vietnam Baguette in a Singapore style, the Sundried Tomato Salty Bread — a favourite of Chef Randy — and QQ Mochi Bread, known for its chewy texture beneath a crusty, puffed-up skin. The Magarina French, a crusty bread filled with French-style ingredients, comes up often in reviews as a customer favourite, alongside the Crispy Almond snack bread, nostalgic Sausage Bread, and classic options like Ciabatta and Classic French Baguette. On the sweeter side, the bakery offers Cream Puffs sold in sets of four, a fragrant and moist Kaya Cake, and a Banana Cake described as spongy without being overly sweet.
Oishi Pan's baking services reflect its origins as a Japanese traditional confectionery shop. The Signature Patisserie range showcases the bakery's best-selling soft pastries, while the Traditional Sponge Cake — which the bakery notes takes around 80 minutes to bake — carries a twist of Japanese flavour. The Artisan Boulangerie side of the business focuses on freshly baked croissants and cream puffs, filling the shop with the aroma of fresh bread and pastry.
Beyond the retail counter, Oishi Pan offers catering and wholesale services for events, alongside custom orders for those with specific requirements, including vegetarian pastries. The bakery has worked with corporate clients such as Justin Flavours of Asia, Edesia Fine Foods, Food Explorer and Ambrosia Fine Foods, and is also a go-to for corporate gifts, wedding favours and baby's first month celebrations. Daily loaves include several vegetarian-friendly options, such as sourdough, ciabatta and rye bread.
Reviewers consistently highlight the quality and value of the bread, with several noting the bakery accepts CDC vouchers and ShopBack. Regulars mention favourites ranging from the Ham & Cheese bread and Margarita French to seasonal specialty loaves like Matcha Red Bean and Earl Grey White Chocolate, along with praise for the friendly, patient staff who take care to cut and bag each loaf properly rather than rushing service.
Oishi Pan Bakery's flagship store is located at Blk 190, Lorong 6, Toa Payoh, #01-572, Singapore 310190. The bakery is open every day, including public holidays, from 8am to 9pm.
