Founded in the 1970s, the Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery is a beloved old-school bakery that has been serving customers freshly baked bread for over 4 decades. Beyond their traditional use of comforting bread flavours, Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery is known for their signature catch phrase of "再来 / zài lái / come again!" uttered energetically as each customer places their orders.

Ambience at Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery is shared with the rest of the Serangoon Garden Market hawker centre, which as far as things go, is clean, brightly lit, windy, and comfortable, with a bustling atmosphere. Expect a constantly-long but fast-moving queue at the storefront, as the aroma of freshly baked bread perfumes the surrounding space. Note it's pure takeaway only.

Service at Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery is fast and efficient. Staff are brusque, working quickly to pick and pack each order of buns, yelling out "再来 / zài lái / come again!" constantly until the customer stops ordering. The bread display is cleared labelled, so product knowledge is focused on when the next batch of buns will be ready as they quickly sell out each fresh tray.

Food at Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery is Singaporean style bread and buns, all made fresh throughout the day, as each tray typically sells out quickly once it's carried out from the on-site ovens. There's a total of 17 different varieties of breads, each with a unique filling. Portions are sized for individuals, most people eat 1 or 2 buns at a go. Prices are affordable, budget about SGD $4 per person.
