Baker & Cook Best Sellers
If you searched for baker cook best sellers, start with one honest note: Baker & Cook publishes no sales ranking, so no honest guide can claim an official top 10. What we can do, and what this guide does, is rank the items Singapore guides and reviews mention most often. The same names keep coming up: Pain au Levain, croissants, Avo Smash, Eggs Benedict, bagels, carrot cake, and lemon tart. If you only visit once, work down this list and you will taste what built the bakery’s name.
What are the Baker & Cook best sellers?
Here is the ranking, with the reason each pick earned its place. Pain au Levain sits first because it is the bakery’s signature sourdough and the bread guides name before anything else. Croissants sit next because guides call the butter croissant a benchmark and the almond croissant a hugely popular treat. Avo Smash and Eggs Benedict follow because they are the two brunch plates named in guide after guide. Bagels earn a place on the strength of one famous blind taste test that called them the best in Singapore. Carrot cake and lemon tart close the list as the sweet picks reviewers return to, with pecan tart close behind.
| Rank | Pick | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pain au Levain | Signature sourdough, named first in guides |
| 2 | Butter Croissant | Called a benchmark for flakiness and butter |
| 3 | Almond Croissant | Hugely popular sweet pastry pick |
| 4 | Avo Smash | Brunch favourite, S$24.50 on the official menu |
| 5 | Eggs Benedict | Classic brunch plate, S$19 on the official menu |
| 6 | Sourdough Bagels | Praised in a blind taste test, sold in packs of four |
| 7 | Carrot Cake | Moist cake with walnuts, a reviewer favourite |
| 8 | Lemon Tart | Classic tart slice, named in guide after guide |
Which bread should you buy first?
Pain au Levain, without a second thought. It is the 18-hour proofed sourdough that founder Dean Brettschneider built the bakery around, and guides quote it at a reported S$8.20 in one guide and S$9.30 in an older menu list, so confirm the current loaf price at the counter. If you cannot decide between loaves, order the S$18 Sourdough Bread Board in store instead. It serves four breads, Danish Rugbrod, Pain au Levain, German Volkorn, and baguette, with jams, balsamic, olive oil, and seasonal butters, so you can taste the range before buying a loaf to take home. For a second loaf, the German Volkorn, a 100 percent rye loaf, is the pick for rye lovers, while a plain sourdough bagel pack suits a weekday breakfast at home.
Which pastries get mentioned most?
Croissants first, tarts second. Guides praise the butter croissant for flakiness and butter, and the almond croissant as the richer sweet version. Pain au chocolat sits in the same tier for chocolate lovers. On the tart side, lemon tart and pecan tart get the most praise, with one reviewer calling the pecan tart the most satisfying pastry of a visit, thanks to a generous portion of pecans and restrained sweetness. Carrot cake is the cake pick, moist with walnut chunks, though one reviewer found its cream cheese frosting too sweet, which is worth knowing if you prefer a less sweet cake. Older guides list cake slices at a reported S$6.50, so confirm the current slice price before ordering.
Croissants and tarts worth trying
If you want one pastry and one tart, order a butter croissant warm if you can, plus a lemon tart slice. That pair covers the two things Baker & Cook does best in the pastry case: laminated dough and a clean, sharp tart. Save the almond croissant for a second visit, or split it, since it is the sweetest of the three and a full one is a lot after a brunch main.
What is the best brunch best seller?
Avo Smash at S$24.50 is the headline brunch pick, served on Pain au Levain or Danish Rugbrod with avocado, poached egg, and smoked salmon. It is rich, generous, and the plate most guides photograph. Eggs Benedict at S$19 is the steadier pick, with Pain au Levain, bacon or sauteed mushroom, poached egg, baby spinach, and hollandaise. French Toast at S$21, on B&C Shokupan with berries, pistachio, custard cream, and maple syrup, is the sweet brunch pick, though it needs a 15 minute wait. For a first visit, Eggs Benedict is the safer order if you want a classic done well, while Avo Smash is the pick if you want the plate everyone talks about.
My pick: Pain au Levain to take home, a butter croissant in store, and Eggs Benedict for brunch. That trio covers bread, pastry, and a hot plate, and it is the shortest route to understanding why this bakery has lasted since 2012.
