Originally established as Polar Café in November 1925 by couple Hinky Chan and Shum Shui Yu, this Singapore heritage brand is today known as Polar Puffs & Cakes Bistro, with multiple outlets across Singapore. Most outlets are pure takeaway kiosks, but those under Polar Puffs & Cakes Bistro are sit-down outlets for a quick bite.
Ambience at Polar Puffs & Cakes Bistro is modern functional. The small space is warmly lit, with shades of the brand's green and white colours lending vibrancy to the place. Furnishings are decently comfortable, suitable for a quick sit-down meal or snacks. Still, most customers order takeaway.
Service at Polar Puffs & Cakes Bistro is friendly. The staff demonstrate good product knowledge, fulfilling orders and cleaning up efficiently. The smell of baking fills the air, an appetizing and enticing aroma. There may be queues during peak periods, but this clears fast.
Food at Polar Puffs & Cakes Bistro is Modern Singaporean pastries and confectioneries. They offer a good range, all made fresh daily. Polar Puffs & Cakes Bistro is halal-certified too. Portions are sized for individuals. Prices are affordable, budget about SGD $7 per person.

Their Iced Lemon Tea (SGD $3) is unsweetened, allowing you to add sugar syrup as you wish. I also like that they're generous with the lemon slices. Chilled and refreshing, this has mild earthy zesty tangy sour sweet flavour. Good!
