Swiss Cottage Bakery is a pastry bakery at 33 Ubi Avenue 3, #05-69, Tower A Vertex, listed under Serangoon, Singapore. It holds a perfect 5.0 Google rating from 134 reviews, a rare score for that many opinions.
A good pastry maker is judged on technique: croissants and laminated doughs with crisp, honeycombed layers, tarts with a crisp base and a smooth filling, and flavours that taste of butter, fruit and real ingredients rather than sugar alone. Because pastry is at its best soon after baking, it pays to ask what is freshest and to eat laminated items the same day, when they are still crisp. A bakery on the fifth floor of an office building in the Ubi area is likely to work by order or appointment rather than as a walk-in shop, so ask how to place an order, how far ahead to book and how to collect, and confirm the unit and lift before you travel. In Singapore's heat and humidity, cream and fruit need to stay chilled and pastry softens quickly, so carry boxes carefully. Mention allergies such as nuts, dairy, eggs and alcohol when you order.
For anyone around Ubi Avenue 3, Swiss Cottage Bakery is a very highly rated place to ask about pastries.
