We thought long and hard, tried and failed, and tried again for many hours in the kitchen every single component that goes into our cakes, before we serve up our food that you are about to enjoy. We prepare each cake with a lot of care to ensure the quality that you are promised. If we do not feel that it is good enough, if we do not enjoy it, we will not have it on the menu. So we hope you would love our cakes, as much as we do. We would love to hear from you! Let us know what you think. We will always want to better ourselves, and you are the best person to help us, so we can continue to delight you and your loved ones.

For a long time, we never put our opening hours up, and if we’re honest, it’s because we were still finding our feet. 🥐

There were mornings when our items arent ready the moment we open our doors, and afternoons when we sold out far sooner than we had planned. We remember every one of those moments, and we’re sorry for each of them, because you gave us your time and we wanted so badly to be there for you. 🤍

We also remember the good ones, like the very first loaf that came out of the oven looking exactly the way we had dreamt it, and the regulars who found us before we had even figured out our own rhythm. There were neighbours who stopped by just to say hello, and friends who kept coming back, and strangers who became familiar faces over a warm pastry and a quiet chat at the counter. 🥖 We have our favourite neighbour who shows us her fist when we sell out our sourdough.

Those memories are the reason we kept going, and they are the reason we wanted to do this properly. Now that we have finally settled into opening consistently every single day, it feels right to say it out loud and put it in writing at last. ☀️

So from now on, we’ll be waiting for you with fresh bakes and an open door every day from 9am, and we hope you’ll come by whenever the craving strikes. 🕘

Thank you for sticking with us through the uncertain mornings, because every one of you helped build what we have today. 🤎

See you at 9am daily.

P.S: posting this at 9am....

We feel the haze too 🌫️ and with the skies the way they are this week, we found ourselves wanting something gentle and cooling, so we steeped a little cold brew with:

🌼 Dried chrysanthemum
🔴 Red dates
🟠 Longan

If the haze has been getting to you as well, we hope this brings a little comfort, and we would love to hear how everyone is holding up 🤍 so tell us in the comments how you are feeling, and whether you would like to try it.

A few days ago, I had a day where I was the mom that I want to be (usually I’m not 😩 and there’s a lot of reconciling needed 😅)

It was rare and precious for me, so a friend asked, what did I do that day, perhaps I can try to replicate the same conditions so I can be this person more.

Upon reflection, it wasn’t a single day’s work. It wasn’t something that I got right that day, but work that I did little by little, everyday bit by bit, work that felt like I was getting it all wrong, making all sorts of mistakes.

Week after week I wld fall on my knees in church, praying, many times crying, wishing that God wld forgive me for being hurtful and nasty when I got angry, and to please help me be kind and loving. Many weeks that didn’t feel like there was any progress but there was.

Then I understood this, that faith requires me to practice. This constant act of choosing love and kindness again and again. Even when I didn’t know if I was ever gonna be good enough. Even when it all looked bleak hopeless, believing that if I try again, MAYBE it will be different.

Starting a bakery and to keep it going requires that same will. And so it goes I’m sure, in different aspects of your lives.

I pray that you seed love and kindness in your lives too, and as it grows in quiet steady ways that you don’t notice, I pray one day it blooms so bright for all the days you watered it and provided sunlight even when you didn’t feel like it, and thought you couldn’t.

God bless you.

Packed with warmth and feel-goodness, our Everyday Bakes Trio combines our savoury classics: Banana Cake, Lemon Coconut and Almond Sugee.

💛 Banana Cake is made without eggs or dairy, and thus filled with more of its natural, all-banana goodness. Guaranteed to make your day, and someone else’s too!

💛 Lemon Coconut is a fluffy, citrusy and fragrant treat that combines the best of both key ingredients. It’s vegan, too!

💛 Almond Sugee is a traditional recipe – a rich butter cake with added depth and flavours of toasted almonds and semolina.

Perfect for gifting - for a special someone or just for yourself. You deserve it!

We heard Joo Chiat is going car free today (3rd Oct), the first time this initiative has ever stepped outside the C*D, and we could not help but smile at the thought of the street without its usual rush of cars and buses.

We would have loved to be part of it and throw our doors open into the evening, but by the time the road closes at half past three we will already be packing up for the day. Still, we think this is exactly the kind of energy our neighbourhood deserves and we are cheering it on from behind closed shutters. Here is to more of Joo Chiat being given back to the people who walk it every day.

We will be out enjoying with you guys! Enjoy a car free day!

Thank you everyone for showing your love!!!! Some things deserve a second chance to shine, and our black sesame mochi cake is finally back 🖤

We first launched it years ago and it quickly became a favourite, so we knew it had to return, but not quite the same as before. This time we built it into a triple layer sesame chiffon, folding in roasted black sesame paste deepened with caramelised sugar for a toastier, more grown up flavour, and studding it with soft mochi pieces for that chew we know you love.

It's nutty, it's deep, it's a little nostalgic and a lot exciting.

Available now while stocks last 🍰

Something we've been sitting on for a while is finally happening this weekend, and we cannot wait any longer to tell you 👀

We're bringing back a bake that quickly became a favourite when we first introduced it, and giving it a proper comeback with a few new layers of texture. It's been reworked, retested and reimagined, and we think it might just be even better than before.

This weekend, we're serving it exclusively for dine-in and walk-in takeaway, so if you've never had the chance to try it, this is your moment. We want to see just how much you love it before we decide whether it deserves a proper spot on the menu, so come by, take a seat and taste it for yourself 🖤

This weekend only. Dine-in exclusive.

Everybody's favourite everyday cake, and we mean it every single time we say it 🍌

There's something rather lovely about banana bread that makes without leaving anyone out. Ours is vegan through and through: no eggs, no dairy, just a soft, moist, properly fluffy bake with all the banana flavour you'd hope for and then some.

It's one of the rare banana cakes in Singapore made this way, and that matters to us, because when you're baking for a whole family, you want everyone at the table to have a slice without a second thought. Grandparents, little ones, the mate who's off dairy, the cousin who doesn't do eggs, all covered.

Every Eurasian family has their own heirloom Sugee recipe that's such a mainstay that the cake is practically a member of the family – present at every single celebration, big or small.

For the longest time Darren was hesitant to bake Sugee. Everyone has their favourite sugee treat, and varying ideas of how it should taste. I suggested that we start from his Grandfather Oscar’s recipe and adapt according to feedback from his family and the Olsen Bakehouse team.

Turned out to be one of the best things we ever did. Like a rich butter cake with an added depth, our Almond Sugee is savoury, gritty and filled with flavours of toasted almonds & semolina.

I always know when this cake is baking; it smells like a cozy home and afternoon tea before I even walk into the kitchen.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do :)

We get peckish a lot, and a light treat with a cup of tea is sometimes all we need to tide us through the next meal. Enter Lemon Coconut Cake.

This cake was bon from a request for a non-chocolatey vegan treat from Darren. After many tries, he perfected it less sweet, fluffy, citrusy, just the way we enjoy our cakes.

Lemon Coconut is one is for the days where you feel grateful that things will fall in place and your heart can feel a little lighter.

Best eaten at room temperature or pop it into the microwave for 20seconds for a warm snack. Perfect for gifting or eating on the go.
