Baker's Bench Bakery

“Had a really nice brunch here ☕🥪✨ The sandwiches were super satisfying — fresh ingredients, crispy bread and really generous fillings. Loved how fluffy and airy the focaccia was, especially paired with the melted cheese and cured meat. The marble cake was soft, buttery and not overly sweet, perfect with coffee. Also tried the matcha strawberry drink and it was surprisingly refreshing and creamy at the same time 🍵♥️ The cafe has a cozy and casual vibe, great for catching up with friends or a slow afternoon coffee break. Would definitely come back again for the sandwiches and bakes!”

“Arrived during the peak of lunch hours on a Saturday. So wait was approx 25mins. Food 4/5 Let’s cut to the chase - had the weekend specials burrata sourdough panini and croque Madame. Blend of Italian and French sandwiches huh. Are they the best sandwiches I’ve tasted? No. Are they reasonably priced? Very much so. Would I come again? Yes, but not worth queueing for 25mins I’m afraid. Worth mentioning that sourdoughs were crispy and airy. However, has a strong yeast end-taste which I find it odd. Iykyk Got the brownie as starter - tastes good. Just needs a crunchier exterior and chewier interior. Service 4/5 Everyone was friendly and very busy. Food came within the mentioned times ~ 25mins for weekend specials & ~20mins for croque Madame. Atmosphere 4/5 Comfortable with high ceilings I will be back!”

“Nice, cozy vibes at Baker’s Bench Bakery—a great spot to relax and unwind. The panini was crispy and satisfying, and the sourdough stood out with its excellent texture and flavor. Coffee was pretty normal, but the food and atmosphere definitely made up for it. Would still come back for the overall experience.”

“Visited Baker’s Bench Bakery on a Saturday around 1pm and had to wait about 15-20mins for a seat. The display counter showed a wide variety of sourdough goodies, from sweet to savoury options. My friends and I only tried the savoury options this time round as we had another dessert spot to go to after. The Truffle Mushroom + Smoked Ham + Stracciatella Panini was super hearty and packed with layers of flavour - think earthy mushrooms, layers of smoked ham and creamy stracciatella, slapped with a generous amount of truffle paste. The bread had a good chew and held everything together well without feeling too heavy. It was rich, messy in the best way, and very satisfying. Giving this a 9/10 😌 We also had the Kurobuta Ham & Burrata Focaccia, which was absolute FIRE. Check out that overflowing creamy burrata!! It made the whole sandwich taste so indulgent yet mad satisfying. They added some sort of onion slaw that added a nice tanginess and helped cut through the richness of the ham and cheese. The focaccia itself was really good too: airy, chewy, slightly crisp at the edges, and complemented the fillings really well. The ingredients worked beautifully together, 10/10 sandwich!! Easily my fav out of the 3 we ordered 😋 Unfortunately, the Spicy Chicken Harissa Flatbread was disappointing :( It had been reheated, but the flatbread came out cold, dry and tough, which made it quite hard to enjoy. The flavours had potential as the meatballs were nicely seasoned, but the texture really let it down. It tasted really stale and was such a sad comparison to the other 2 sandwiches. This was a miss for me - rating it a 4/10. Service wise, it could definitely be better - our plates were cleared even before we were properly done eating, which felt quite rushed and killed the vibe a little. Overall, I’d still be back for the sandwiches, especially the burrata focaccia. Would also love to try the sweet options on their menu! Hopefully the service will be better as well.”

“Good sandwiches and bakes but at a price. Compact space so not a place to linger during peak hours. Eat and go so you don’t hold up the queue outside. Quite shock when the tea served was simply placed on my table with a slam, not even a look or a word from the wait staff.”
