Looking for the quintessential Asian-level of not-too-sweet desserts that'll satisfy your sweet tooth? Look no further than Bakers & Barista's Superette!
Located in the same block, a few steps away, the Suprette is easy to miss because all the signage that's presently available is just a temporary banner on top of the building, and if you didn't know that this was our beloved coffee & brunch/breakfast spot's bakery option, you'd miss it entirely.
But, fear not, Yelpers and Yelp has you covered because now you know!
The store-front is small-ish when you walk in, greeted by shelves full of pantry essentials, a table in the centre with purchasable items, and the counter (with a dessert display) towards back, with the bakery kitchen all the way behind it (and rather massive at that).
Here's what I've gotten:
- Strawberry genmaicha: My absolute favourite and so glad it's a staple; I've bought just a slice of it as well as an entire cake a few times because it's that good. And, of course, not-too-sweet.
- Ube tiramisu: I enjoy ube, but in cheesecake form, it wasn't all there for me; slightly too sweet as well, but it is a cheesecake, so that part makes sense.
- Mango sticky rice: Really ingenious and I love the sticky rice that's actualy a layer in the cake, but the mango flavour, nor the condensed milk were really jumping out at me
- Pumpkin: A seasonal flavour, it was interesting to try; I did enjoy the not-overpowering taste of allspice and the addition of a pumpkin seed was nice. It was definitely not sweet at all, which I appreciated, but pumpkin (nor pumpkin spice) isn't my thing, so I wouldn't get this again.
- Cookies: They have rotating flavours with some staples; I've tried it all from their milk'n'cereal to banana-something; it's good! Thin, crispy, and large!
When I'd originally come, during their initial few weeks, their cake slices were triangular in shape; now, in the past month, they've switched to square slices.
The service is stellar; non-intrusive/-hovering; they're always kind, attentive, and patient.
There's no inside seating, but that's not what this Superette is intended for; there is, however, plenty of outside shared patio seating, so grab it while you can!
While there may feel like there's ample parking, this entire lot gets rapidly busy so be aware that you could end up circlign for a few minutes before you find somethign; the spots are pretty small too, so just keep that in mind. Pro-tip: Bring someone who can hop out while you drive around to pick up cakes or macarons from the Superette! read more
