Mr Holmes Bakehouse is a San Francisco-born bakery best known for rolling out batches of sweet cruffin – a croissant-muffin hybrid that comes filled with luscious cream and dusted with sugar. While the pandemic might have led to the closure of all its outlets in America, the brand is getting a fresh restart with its first flagship located at Pacific Plaza.
Those in Singapore get to enjoy first dibs ahead of everyone else in the world on their signature bakes: flaky cruffins, jazzed-up croissants, stuffed doughnuts, and more.
Swing by its pink-clad home and choose from a line-up of sugar-dusted sweets. Cruffin ($5.80) is a must-get; croissant dough is first rolled into a muffin tray before baking to yield a flaky, buttery base for creamy fillings. Tiramisu cream is pipped with generous amounts of coffee-laced mascarpone cream, while the weekend-only peanut butter milkshake comes stuffed with smooth peanut butter. Doughnuts (from $4) come in the form of soft brioche pillows, filled to the brim with strawberries and whipped cream, yuzu plum jam, chocolate, and more.
Croissants (from $4) are also levelled up – both in looks and taste. Lemon meringue pie oozes tart lemon curd when bitten into, and comes crowned with torched meringue as a finishing touch.
