Baker & Cook Near Me
Searching for a baker cook near me outlet is easier than it looks, because Baker & Cook is spread across Singapore rather than clustered in one district. From the original Hillcrest bakery to the riverside ACM cafe, the Dempsey glasshouse, and neighbourhood spots in Serangoon Gardens and the west, there is usually one within a short drive of most central and western homes. This guide maps the verified outlets by area, so you can pick the closest one instead of defaulting to the most famous one.
How do I find a baker cook near me outlet?
Start with area, not with the brand name. Baker & Cook outlets sit in residential pockets and lifestyle clusters, not in malls, so the nearest one is usually the one in your part of town. If you live in Bukit Timah, Hillcrest and Eng Kong Terrace are your pair. If you are in the Holland and Buona Vista belt, Chip Bee Gardens and South Buona Vista are closest. In the west, Sunset Way at Clementi Arcade covers that corner, and in the north east, Serangoon Gardens is the local.
For a day out rather than a local run, pick by vibe instead. Dempsey is the destination outlet, with the glasshouse room and the garden, while ACM is the riverside stop after a museum visit, with an Asian inspired menu and happy hour drinks. Both are worth a trip on their own, and both get busy at weekends, so weekday visits are calmer.
Which Baker & Cook outlet is nearest to me?
Use the table below as your first filter, then check the official locations page for the latest list before you travel. Outlets open, close, and take short breaks from time to time: Serangoon Gardens, for example, took a short break from 29 December to 7 January, and the ACM outlet took a break from January before returning. A quick check beats a wasted trip.

Which outlet should families pick?
Dempsey wins for families, and it is not close. The glasshouse dining room looks over a large leafy garden with a shaded play area, so kids can run around while adults sit in the air conditioning and still keep an eye on them. The Dempsey kids menu, with Nutella sandwiches, truffle fries, and mini cheeseburgers with fries, is built for exactly that visit.
If you are bringing a dog, Serangoon Gardens and Dempsey both welcome pets, with outdoor seating at both. Serangoon Gardens is the more laid back of the two, a neighbourhood cafe with plenty of outdoor tables, while Dempsey is the bigger day out. For a quiet work session, Opera Estate gets mentioned as a cosy laptop friendly spot, and Sunset Way is described as a peaceful place for a light bite between errands.
CBD and riverside pick
The ACM outlet is the CBD answer. It sits at 1 Empress Place inside the Asian Civilisations Museum, opens daily from 8am to 10pm, runs set lunch on weekdays from 11am to 2pm, and offers happy hour drinks daily from 5pm to 8pm. It returned to the museum after a short break, with an Asian inspired menu that includes the Golden Floss Croissant, New Zealand Beef Brisket Rendang, and Seafood Laksa Spaghetti.
My pick: if you are choosing blind, go Dempsey for a family weekend, ACM for a CBD evening, and your nearest neighbourhood outlet for a simple bread run. The bread is the same across outlets, so the best outlet is usually the closest one that suits your day.
What time do Baker & Cook outlets open?
Most outlets open at 7am or 7:30am, which makes Baker & Cook a proper breakfast option, unlike many cafes that open at 9am. Hillcrest opens at 7am, most neighbourhood outlets at 7:30am, and Dempsey and ACM at 8am. Closing times vary more: weekday evenings often end at 5pm or 6:30pm at smaller outlets, while weekends stretch to 8:30pm or 10pm. Always check the day you plan to go, since a Friday closing time can be hours later than a Tuesday one at the same outlet.
