1. The Awfully Chocolate Bakery & Cafe

Built as a response to overconceptualised gourmet cakes flooding the city in the late ’90s, Awfully Chocolate started out selling only chocolate fudge cake. And what an indulgent chocolate cake it is. The flagship store and its many outlets now has a long list of specialities, including truffle chocolate, poached chocolates, and the Chocolate Banana – named one of Singapore’s top five cakes. It’s Chocolate Rum and Cherry cake also hits the sweet spot oh-so nicely. The Sinpopo Brand is also under their ownership.

Rive Gauche’s signature cake is the Guanaja – a French bittersweet chocolate, chocolate mousse and chocolate sponge cake all form layers atop a crispy chocolate biscuit bottom. The combo of textures ensures that every bite has an interesting mixture of smoothness and crunch. The Strawberry Short Cake tastes so light, you can’t stop at just one bite.

Founded in 2018, pastry chefs Germaine Li and Joy Chiam came together to realise their approach to French desserts with fresh produce and flavours by creating Pâtisserie CLÉ. Having worked in the kitchens of Les Amis and Joël Robuchon Restaurant, the pair are using what they’ve learnt to create unique sweet treats that include Noisette (from $62), a dark chocolate cake with hazelnut praline, or the special Orh Blanc Tart (from $42), which is a playful twist on the French Mont Blanc dessert where yam paste is used instead of chestnut paste. Orders need to be placed 48 hours in advance and deliveries are from 1-6pm.

Love durian? Enjoy it in a decadent dessert from The Durian Bakery, where the quality of the durian itself is not compromised.
