This is so good!!

I had this warm and straight from the oven. It’s so soft and fluffy, with generous chunks of sundried tomato and feta cheese embedded in the lightly flavoured bread with an incredibly light, tender crumb. I wanted to try this fresh so I didn’t toast or butter it, but I can imagine how good it’s go on a cheese board or with a hummus or avocado dip! The sourish tang is extremely muted, so it’s kid-friendly.

You can have it sliced on the spot, and that’s so convenient! <3

Def going back to try more hehe :") tried the nutty coffee & cranberry walnut. BOTH AS DELICIOUS HEHE

Their sourdough bread is always so moist, spongy and fluffy and not too sour/tangy. I really love the perfect harmonisation of the slight tanginess and natural sweetness~😊 Really the BEST sourdough I've eaten in SG. The ones that i had at elsewhere are usually very hard and dry but Valerie's version is simply so soft with a deep rich profile and really aromatic!

They have a good range of sourdough flavours, ranging from the classic, rye, nutty (eg. Tri-seed rye), savoury (eg. sundried tomato and feta cheese, olive garlic, onion cheese) to sweet flavours (eg. Cranberry walnut, cinnamon and chocolate banana). With such a wide variety of flavours, one would definitely be spoilt for choices.They come in either half loaf ($5-7) or full loaf ($8-12). Each loaf is seriously packed with lots of ingredients~ love their generosity with the ingredients.

My always to go favourites are the:
1) Tri-seed rye
2) Cranberry walnut (which is their no. 1 best seller)

The spinach and cheese is also very nice!!! Actually all their flavours are really good so there is always something for everyone~ Shall try the classic sourdough / rye version on my next stock up! I love how you can simply put it in the freezer to keep it for up to a month~ just have to microwave it for 30-40s before popping these gems into your mouth🤤 even after freezing and microwaving, their moisture, softness and chewiness still retains.

Taste: 5/5
Worth it: 5/5
Although sourdough bread are pricer than normal loaf of bread that you get from supermarket, i feel that these naturally leaven bread are a good investment due to the myriad of health benefits: low in gluten, good source of prebiotics, preservative-free and low in GI. Also urbanloaf factory's pricing is really similar to the market rate and with such as awesome taste, they are SO DAMN WORTH IT

Overall Ratings: 10/10

I may be a bit biased but I really liked this flavour-packed loaf as it is filled with some of my favourite ingredients. The darker rye base is the perfect canvas for the strong flavours. It's great toasted (then drizzled with EVOO), but just as good eaten straight from the bag.

If you're not too fond of hard crusts and dense sourdough, then Urban Loaf's style is for you. The crust and insides are soft with a nice bite, yet still crisp up well when toasted.

They are super generous with the fillings — we enjoyed this and the Apricot Fig Flaxseed. Next time, the Dark Chocolate Banana is on my list.

Alexandra central mall

What an unexpected find in this sleepy mall next to Ikea , Alexandra.

Chef and baker Valerie Kong’s is the owner of this takeaway bread shop. All breads are made with sourdough and I particularly enjoyed the dark chocolate banana bread . So moist with an intense chocolate banana flavour - this bread was really enjoyable - naturally sweet from the bananas and with a slight tangy undertone from the sourdough :) . Very very addictive !

All naturale bread fans will be happy to know that no sugar or preservatives are added to her breads so eat with your mind at ease 😜.

Given the work and the quality of ingredients - pieces are a little steep though 😝.
