Take it slow this weekend and treat yourself to a leisurely brunch at Slow Bakes.

This hidden gem, located near KTPH, offers a picturesque view of the reservoir, creating the perfect ambiance for heart-to-heart conversations with your friends or family.

Slow Bakes specializes in bread and beverages only, and we couldn't resist ordering a variety of bread to sample, with nothing priced above $5 each.

The Matcha Bread with almond butter spread allows you to choose the type of bread that pairs with the jam. The almond butter spread is authentically rich, while the bread carries a subtle hint of matcha, though it can be a bit dry.

The Chocolate Hazelnut bread not only smells divine but also features a dark chocolate hazelnut spread, making it surprisingly not too sweet. This was my personal favorite among all the bread options.

On the other hand, the Cheese Poto seems like a standard cheesy bun with a small amount of melted cheese and wouldn't make it to my recommendation list.

The Cinnamon roll, on the other hand, is delicious as it strikes the right balance between sweetness and a bread-like texture. I would highly recommend giving this one a try as well.

🤤 : 4/5
💰 : ~$8/pax (we over ordered)

love the ambience! seeing a couple of good reviews, i wished i enjoyed the food more here! the set came w 4 soft boiled eggs, 4 slices of toast with spread & 2 drinks.

whilst i really wanted myself to enjoy the food, i found their offerings (though unique) unimpressive. with the exception of their barn-laid eggs and berries jam, which was a big yes from my tastebuds.

Their breads are substantial and delicately crafted - you can tell that they put in a lot of effort for each flavour.🫶🏻🫶🏻 The pumpkin loaf and brioche was fluffy ☁️☁️ and delicious with that pumpkin sweetness, and their sourdough was really well made. We’re looking forward to try their other flavours (sweet potato and turmeric?! yes pls!!) 🤤🤤

Their spreads MUST be raved about - just LOOK at the amount of avocado they give you! 🥑🥑And oh their homemade kaya is not to be overlooked. It was authentic and fragrant with 𝙗𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙩 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨,🌿🥥 and heavenly when paired with that butter 🧈 . Next time, we’re definitely getting a jar of that kaya! 🍯

We just knew we HAD to drop by this place when our friends mentioned it! 🤩😩 @slow.bakes is a breakfast cafe situated inside tzu chi humanistic youth centre (right beside KTPH, a short walk from Northpoint). It’s semi-outdoors and overlooks a scenic view of Yishun Pond - perfect for a great start to the day. 🏞️🌿

We went for their 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙎𝙚𝙩 ($18), which consists of 4 loaf slices with spreads of your choice, 4 eggs, and 2 drinks. 🍞🥚☕️ After much deliberation, we went for their 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨, 𝙥𝙪𝙢𝙥𝙠𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚 🥖🎃, topped with their 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙖-𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙤 🧈🥑. The traditional soft boiled eggs were hot, runny-but-not-too-watery, and just perfect when smeared on that bread.🍳🥹🥹

A popular bakery cafe a few minutes walk from Yishun MRT Station, hidden within the Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre.

It is consider an open and outdoor space with seats overlooking the pond outside, a perfect place to chill and chat.

Open early morning till lunch hours only. You can either dine-in to enjoy some of their breakfast set or takeaway their breads.

They offered a few types of bread here including the sourdough, naturally-leavened soft loaves and buns; which you can find all in display shelf.

I gotten their Chocolate Hazelnut, Adzuki Bun & Seeded Bun; which all very soft and fluffy, generous with the fillings inside.

Totally worth getting some of them when you are in Yishun area.
