Caffe Pralet has been a quiet force in the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood since 2006, but its recent transformation has put it back on the café-hopping map.
Now a deli bakery, it serves two main things: doughnuts and sourdough sandwiches. You might have seen pictures of its glistening, square-shaped doughnuts (from $3.20) all over social media. The burnt butter honey squares ($3.60) taste as good as they look, thanks to ‘Daisy’ (the joint’s 14-year-old sourdough starter) and a three-day fermentation process which give them an extra fluffy texture. Other doughnut flavours include lemon cremeux ($3.60), cinnamon sugar ($3.20), fairy dust ($4), and triple chocolate fudge ($4).
Don’t be shocked to find a queue outside for its doughnuts. And when you make it to the front of the line, you might as well get a sandwich to go as well – the Beef’in Cheese’in ($14) is our go-to.
