Housed along the ground floor of Pacific Plaza, the space is designed as a pink and white pastry wonderland that plays to the pleasing aesthetic the brand is widely known for.
Through playful manipulation of its signature croissant dough comes the brand-synonymous Cruffins (all at $5.80) – essentially rolled hybrids baked in muffin trays. When baked, the result is a puffed-up pastry that is layered and flaky outside while remaining gloriously moist inside.
The opening assortment introduces an indulgent trio that are each cream-piped and sugar-dusted with a Tiramisu Cream for the coffee and sweet addicts; Mint Chocolate Chip Cream for a refreshing chocolate-y breath; and a weekend-only exclusive Peanut Butter Milkshake that tastes just as decadent as it sounds.
For those seeking a softer treat, a trio of brioche donuts are also available for them to sink their delicate teeth into. Each loaded with a peep of pastry cream to hint of the stuffing beneath, donut lovers can select between classic choices of Chocolate and Strawberries and Cream (both at $5.80), or a Plum Yuzu Jam ($6.50) for an oozy, tangy surprise that's only available for bites on the weekends.
Upon stepping in, white-tiled walls, bold pink ceilings, tinted windows and minimal hanging lights present a vibrance perfect for indulgence. Those who are familiar with its stores will be thrilled to see the return of the "I Got Baked" signage located by the side exit for photo opportunities.
Moving on to the classic forms, highlights include a fruity duo of Lemon Meringue Pie croissant that comes piped with lemon curd and a topping of torched meringue, and a Raspberry Hibiscus croissant with its tangy and floral delight of hibiscus curd, raspberry cream and finishing dresses of white chocolate shards and raspberry leather.
Other options include a Matcha and Chocolate croissant that are both piped with whipped ganache with a finishing half-dip in a flavoured white chocolate shell.
