If you’re a Dona Manis cake loyalist, this is your victory lap: you can now eat their pies hot and fresh on the spot – no takeaway box required – because the cult-favourite bakery has opened its very first dine-in café at 95 East Coast Road. And if you’re wondering what the hype is about, consider this your gentle shove to finally try bakes from one of Singapore’s most beloved homegrown pastry names – especially that legendary banana pie.
Dona Manis has been around since the 1990s, quietly winning hearts with its hearty homemade banana pies, chocolate tarts, buttercream horns, and more, long before Instagram made everything famous. This marks its first-ever dine-in space in 36 years (long overdue, if you ask us). The brand’s original Katong Shopping Centre store has seen renewed buzz in recent years, and it’s done a handful of pop-ups – but this café is its most permanent glow-up yet.
At the new space, you’ll find a wider menu beyond the iconic original banana pie. Think heritage creamy chicken pie, banana cake, chocolate walnut cookies, pandan chiffon cakes, lemon curd tarts, rum balls and classic banana pudding. They’ll also be serving coffee from local coffee brand PPP Coffee.
Go early, though, because there’s limited seating – around five tables split between indoor and outdoor.
