About Mother Dough Bakery
Mother Dough Bakery is a cosy specialty bakery and brunch café tucked into the heart of Tiong Bahru, a neighbourhood famed for its art-deco blocks and café culture. Expect a glass-fronted counter of fresh sourdough loaves, laminated croissants and seasonal viennoiserie, plus a small menu of brunch plates and sandwiches that pair with single-origin coffee. The vibe is relaxed — morning commuters, local families and weekend cafe-hoppers all pile in for takeaway or a quick sit-down.
The crowd here ranges from the CBD lunch crowd grabbing sandwiches to Tiong Bahru residents swinging by for kopi and a loaf. The bakery leans on traditional fermentation techniques (hence the name) and often sells out of its signature house-matured sourdough by late morning, so locals pre-order loaves or arrive early. With a mix of indoor air-conditioned seating and a handful of alfresco tables, Mother Dough works well for quick breakfasts, casual catch-ups, weekend brunches and grabbing artisanal bread to bring home.
Mother Dough is very much in the Singapore context — part of the independent cafe scene that revived neighbourhoods like Tiong Bahru and Katong. It’s a practical spot for takeaway sandwiches for office lunches, gifting festive loaves, or lingering over coffee and pastries on a lazy weekend; it also fits the local habit of chope-ing a table and meeting friends for kopi. While not a hawker stall or kopitiam, it borrows Singaporean friendliness and convenience with modern bakery craft.
