Noci bakehouse

Gone were the days when Singaporeans had no choices when it came to buying bread and bakes. The Japanese bakeries had an earlier incursion into Singapore with brands like Asanoya Boulangerie, Pullman Bakery, DONQ Bakery and Gokoku Bakery, and we were introduced much earlier to Japanese Shio pan, An Pan, melon pan and more

The Korean bakeries only started coming to Singapore in 2012 with the chain Paris Baguette, TOUS les JOURS in 2024, Bakery 1946 in 2024 and Standard Bread in 2025. After lasting for a year or so, Bakery 1946 made way for a new Korean bakery in the space in Suntec, Noci Bakehouse, in April 2026

I have since visited the bakery twice, and both times it was packed with people either looking for seats or queuing up for bread restocking or payment. The aesthetics of the bakery reminded me of one of those Instagram hype bakeries in Ikseondong with a soothing white and brown European cottage countryside decor. Most of the table seating is located at the back of the bakery since the front is occupied with many shelves and racks for bread displays

The shelves where most people gather around are the main shelf right in front of the cashier counters. The same cottage decor is used for the shelves where the breads are kept, and it reminds me of an old pantry cupboard where Grandma kept all the goodies. Some of their popular items include the green onion bagel, garlic butter bagel, different salt breads and different brick breads

The other section using the same wooden shelves was for the madelines, financier and exclusive varieties of salt buns with toppings. They made fewer quantities of these special flavours, and they ran out very fast

The other area was the chilled display, which was right next to the cashier, and showcased desserts like fruit parfait, sponge cakes and tiramisu cups

I bought a couple of the popular flavours to try at home, and since I could not find a seat at the bakery, I did not get to try them while they were fresh. I had them the next day after reheating, so I feel the texture could have changed. I bought the green onion bagel, black sesame with butter salt bun, fresh cream salt bun and plain salt bun. The green onion bagels were sweet, savoury and peppery at the same time and were great with the soft bagel. They tasted just like the ones in Korea, and I was extremely over the moon to find a bakery serving this here in Singapore. As a black sesame lover, I was surprised that the huge slab of butter inside the bun did not feel greasy or overwhelming. Instead, it complemented the sweet black sesame paste very well to give it a smooth and buttery flavour. Next was the cream salt bun, which was also surprisingly light and smooth and did not taste greasy with the bun. This was like a dessert bun, although the salt bun gave it a slight savoury flavour

Overall, I really like their bread and hope they are here to stay. Each time I visit, they are almost sold out, so I hope this will continue so I can get my supply of Korean breads. Since the first visit, I have gone back just to buy these 3 flavours, and I highly recommend them
