Konditori Artisan Bakes

Konditori Artisan Bakes is a small European-style bakery at 33 Bussorah Street, in the historic Kampong Glam district. It sells croissants, Danish pastries, cakes and sourdough bakes, all for takeaway.

The shop is a few steps from Sultan Mosque. It makes a handy stop for a pastry during a walk around the area, or for a box of bakes to take back to your hotel.

What to order

Croissants are the main draw. The range runs from a plain butter croissant and pain au chocolat to almond and black forest versions. In past reviews, the red velvet croissant with a cream cheese filling drew the most attention, though the flavours on offer change.

Other bakes you are likely to find on the counter include:

• Danish pastries, such as a pistachio knafeh Danish
• Kouign amann and choquettes, the small sugar-topped choux puffs
• Basil pesto sourdough with toppings such as tomatoes, olives and cheese
• Scones, and quiches such as smoked salmon
• Sliced cakes and a Basque burnt cheesecake
• At times, semla, the Swedish cream bun filled with almond paste

The selection changes, and popular items can sell out. Coming earlier in the day gives you the widest choice.

Cakes and online orders

Konditori also bakes whole cakes for birthdays and other celebrations. Flavours on its website include red velvet, chocolate moist, hazelnut praline and Russian Medovik, a layered honey cake. Sourdough loaves, quiches and tarts are also listed.

You can order online for delivery or for self-collection at the shop. Orders need at least two days' notice, and three days for full cakes. The bakery confirms each order by email, then sends a WhatsApp message or SMS the day before. Paid orders usually cannot be cancelled, so check your date before you pay.

Good to know before you go

• There is no seating, so plan to eat on the go or take your bakes elsewhere.
• The shop is small, so it can feel crowded when it is busy.
• At busy times there is often a queue outside. In 2022, Eatbook reported waits of around 15 minutes.
• Whole cakes need advance orders, so do not expect to buy one on the spot.

Getting there

Bussorah Street is the short street that leads up to Sultan Mosque. According to Eatbook, the bakery is about a ten-minute walk from Bugis MRT station.
