The Bakehaus is an independent artisanal bakery and cafe tucked into a cozy shophouse along Owen Road in Singapore's Kallang neighbourhood. Founded in 2020 by former baking school colleagues, it grew out of a shared love for honest baking and has spent nearly six years filling the street with the morning aroma of freshly baked sourdough.
Everything here is made in small batches with natural ingredients. The breads are naturally leavened and additive-free, built on freshly milled grains and given a long 16-hour fermentation for deep flavour and texture. Alongside the sourdough loaves, the counter offers handcrafted pastries, cakes and rotating seasonal specials — craftsmanship backed by the bakery's role as a flagship store for the renowned French butter brand Lescure.
More than a bakery, The Bakehaus is a space for people to gather, learn and connect: a warm cafe atmosphere for the neighbourhood, hands-on baking workshops, and a store section stocked with baking ingredients and equipment for home bakers. It opens daily from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
On Owen Road, in Singapore's Kallang neighbourhood, mornings at The Bakehaus begin the way mornings at a proper bakery should: with the aroma of freshly baked sourdough drifting out of a cozy shophouse. It is a scene that has played out here for nearly six years, and it sits at the heart of one of the area's beloved independent bakeries.
The Bakehaus was founded in 2020 by former baking school colleagues. When the school shut its doors, the friends turned their shared dream into reality — a bakery built on passion, friendship, and a love for honest baking. That origin story still shapes the place today. The bakes are straightforward and sincere, made the way the founders learned to make them, and the shophouse has a warmth that feels more like a neighbourhood living room than a retail counter.
The craft here is deliberately old-school. Breads are naturally leavened and additive-free, made with freshly milled grains and given a 16-hour fermentation that develops rich flavour and texture. There are no shortcuts hiding in the process — time does the work that additives would do elsewhere.
The bakery's standards are reinforced by another distinction: The Bakehaus is a flagship store for Lescure, the renowned French butter brand. That partnership shows up in the pastries, where real butter and fine ingredients make a difference you can taste.
Sourdough loaves lead the assortment of artisanal bakes, but they are only the beginning. The counter carries handcrafted pastries and cakes, plus seasonal offerings and specials that rotate through the year — one of the reasons regulars keep coming back to see what's new. Everything is produced in small batches with natural ingredients, so selection can genuinely depend on when you arrive.
What sets The Bakehaus apart is that it doesn't stop at selling bread. The team describes it as a space for people to gather, learn, and connect. Baking workshops give curious visitors a hands-on way into the craft, while the store side of the business stocks baking basics — from ingredients to equipment — so home bakers can take a little of the bakery's philosophy into their own kitchens.
The cafe atmosphere makes it an easy stop for a quiet morning bite, a catch-up with a friend, or simply the pleasure of eating something baked a few steps from where it came out of the oven.
The Owen Road shophouse is open Monday to Sunday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Because everything is small-batch and the day ends mid-afternoon, coming earlier rather than later is the surest way to find the fullest spread of loaves, pastries and seasonal bakes.
For those near the National University of Singapore campus, the team also runs The BakeHaus Cafe at NUS The Ridge on Computing Drive, open daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM — though the original Owen Road bakery remains the home of the sourdough.
Questions about what's baking, workshops or bulk orders can go to the team by phone at +65 8202 8208 or by email at [email protected], and new seasonal releases are regularly shared on their Instagram, Facebook and TikTok pages.
In a city full of bakeries, The Bakehaus stands out by keeping things simple: natural ingredients, patient fermentation, and a genuine love for the craft. Six years in, that honesty still rises fresh every morning on Owen Road.
