While cakes are typically the sweet treat that we look forward to having, I thought of focusing on cake cafes and patisseries in Singapore specialising in tarts.
A tart is typically baked consisting of a pastry base, filled with fruits, custard, chocolate and the likes.
Here are 10 places in Singapore where you can find delicious tarts:
Tarte by Cheryl Koh
1 Scotts Road, Shaw Centre #02-12, Singapore 228208
Tel: +65 62353225
Opening Hours: 10am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
Tarte by Cheryl Koh at Shaw Centre Level 2 started out as a takeaway retail concept by Les Amis Group’s Pastry Chef Cheryl Koh.
The store’s popularity went up, especially after when Chef Koh was named “Asia’s Best Pastry Chef” in the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards.
Chef Koh shared that she wasn’t aiming to be super creative nor complicated, just a simple goal to create the best version of classic desserts.
She hopes that if someone thinks of the best chocolate tart or strawberry tart, hers will be top of mind.
The tarts are available in three sizes and more than ten flavours – an individual tart size at 8cm diameter, regular size at 16cm diameter, and a large meant for 8 to 10 persons.
They are grouped according to “Fresh Fruit” – Cherry, Strawberry, Pear, Passionfruit Meringue, Clementine, Mixed Seasonal Fruit; “Chocolate & Nut” – Dark Chocolate, Pistachio and Hazelnut Tart; and “Seasonal”.
I have tried a couple (maybe even at least 10 of them) over time, and personal favourites typically go to the fruit ones. I often find them of good quality, not overly glazed so that you can still appreciate the natural sweetness of the fruits. Tarte by Cheryl Koh (Shaw Centre)

Pâtisserie CLÉ
Paya Lebar Office Centre, 29 Paya Lebar Road, #01-01, Singapore 409005
+65 8127 3925
Opening Hours: 12pm – 4pm (Mon – Sun), Closed Sun
Located within Paya Lebar Office Centre, Patisserie CLÉ (which means ‘key’ in French) has shifted from an online platform to a brick and mortar shop within the compound.
It didn’t come as a surprise to me as the tarts here had a stark resemblance to the ones at Tarte By Cheryl Koh, since co-owner Germaine had worked directly under Pastry Chef Cheryl Koh herself.
The selection of Tarts ($8) include Lemon Meringue, Orh Blanc (Orh Nee + Mont Blanc), Strawberry, Tropico (Mango and Pineapple), Passion Sesame (passionfruit curd with black sesame) and Cognac Caramel Chocolate.
The Orh Blanc Tart ($8) caught my attention with the uncommon combination of oriental Orh Nee (Yam) and French tart pastry.
Piped with fresh yam on top in a single stranded hairlike structure like a Mont Blanc, a layer of vanilla chantilly is laid beneath it with another layer of yam on top of the tart shell that is baked with coconut cream. Patisserie CLÉ (Paya Lebar)

Drips Bakery Cafe
82 Tiong Poh Rd, #01-05, Singapore 160082
Tel: +65 6222 0400
Opening Hours: 9am – 9pm (Mon – Sun)
Drips Bakery Café located at Tiong Bahru is quite a survivor, considering many cafes there have come and gone.
Co-owner Alfred Chan went from baking at Shangri-la, opening a bakery at Commonwealth, to this neighbourhood café which is inspired by PAUL.
“This closeness to my customers and our casual banter is what I enjoy most. And when I’m happy, I make happy desserts.”
The Mixed Fruit Tart with blueberries and kiwis is such a pretty darling, with a soft crumply crust, cool cream cheese and very fresh fruits.
Other tarts you can expect to find there include Baked Almon Tart, Matcha Yuzu Tart, Cinnamon Egg Tart, Choc Truffle Tart, Baked Crumble Tart, Fresh Avocado Tart, Fresh Yuzu Tart, Lemon Meringue Tart, Baked Lemon Tart, Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart, and more.

Maison Kayser
1 Maju Avenue, #01-26/27/28, myVillage @ Serangoon Garden, Singapore 556679
Tel. +65 6509 8184
Opening Hours: 7:30am – 9pm (Mon – Fri) 7:30am – 9:30pm (Sat – Sun)
Maison Kayser, founded by Eric Kayser in 1996, is a contemporary artisanal bakery that follows French tradition.
His bakeries are located all over the world, with one branch luring bread-lovers to myVillage.
Here you will find handmade bread baked in-house daily, early in the morning. What makes the bread special is the use of natural leaven and selected flours. The dough patiently undergoes a long fermentation process, resting for 12 hours before baking. It is this technique that keeps the bread in utmost quality days after days.
Whether you prefer the tang of Lemon Tart ($6.50) or the sweetness of Chocolate Éclair ($6.00) – of spongy pâte à choux with smooth cream in the centre, you can be sure each is a Maison Kayser must-try signature item.

A very nice minimalist café located in the West, with quality pastries.
There are people who come all the way here to try their pastries and have not regretted it.
They have takeaway options available as well, so if you can’t get a seat, you can enjoy it from the comfort of your home (fancy plating not included though).
Gosh. Its Lime Tart is probably one of the best I had so far, the Tart ($8) managed to achieve that balance of flavours.
Some lime tarts can end up tasting either too sour or muted, but this had just the right amount of tang, with a citrus burst of flavours.
Do note that its cakes and tarts are available seasonably (and may change at time of writing). Lee’s Confectionery (Jurong East)

Edith Patisserie
772 North Bridge Road, Singapore 189868
Opening Hours: 10am – 5pm (Tue – Sat), 10am – 2pm (Sun), Closed Mon
Edith Patisserie is a small bakery that only offers takeaways.
Apart their original Bubble Milk Tea Tart, 2 other flavours such as: Matcha and Thai Milk Tea are available.
The pastry cream of the three different flavours with chewy tapioca pearls are piped into the almond pastry base and are best consumed within a day without refrigeration (in case the pearls turn hard).
While the texture of the pastry cream is smooth, the matcha flavour has the most distinctive taste with slight lingering bitterness whereas both the Milk tea and Thai milk tea are a tad too sweet.
In case Bubble Tea Tarts are not your thing, I heard that they have a full size Earl Grey Bubble Tea Tart-Cake ($34) for pure indulgence. Mini Bubble Tea Tarts in a box are available at $38. Often sold out.
