Simply Bread

I come here once in a while when I don’t feel like cooking lunch.
The brunch comes with a decent sized piece of ham, scrambled eggs and bread. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I like some of their special lunches like their pulled pork sandwich… too bad that it isn’t served more often! I also like their GHC, grilled ham and cheese with dijon mustard. Sandwiches run about $ 10 and come with a side of cole slaw.
Three stars because for the price of the food the serving is quite minimal while the taste is not necessarily «restaurant worthy». At least a side of crisps would be nice! Service is usually friendly. Bread does not go on sale in the last hour. But overall pretty good.

Simply bread is an after school «snack store» where my friends and I would go just to get a couple sticky buns. Till now, it’s still the sticky buns that keeps me going back. Some mornings when I am nearby I’ll grab breakfast in house. The eggs and toast is rather reasonable for under $ 8. Scrambled eggs are always good. The muesli is really good, complete with grape juice that is fresh.
But no doubt, it is a pricey eatery. The sticky bun’s the only thing worth my cash, and I wouldn’t travel all the way unless I’m nearby.

I go to Simply Bread on a regular basis as its right in my neighborhood of Bukit Timah. Best thing there is the all-​day breakfast, which I seem to crave at all hours of the day!
Chose from omelets, eggs any style, French toast, muesli and my favorite – cinnamon toast. Its two chewy pieces of buttered toast topped with cinnamon and sugar. Chose to add cheese, mushrooms, peppers or ham in your omelet.
They also have a variety of sandwiches and salads (go for the ceasar salad, its homemade and none of that store bought stuff) and they give you the option to add avocado to any sandwich or salad. Take home their fresh pastries, rolls, foccacia, sliced bread, ciabatta and sticky buns.
Probably one of the best places in Singapore to get fresh and rustic breads. A great place for a casual breakfast, brunch, lunch or snack.

Simply Bread is one of the few bakeries around my neighbourhood where you can find a good selection of gourmet breads, pastries and sandwiches. I’ve always liked the minimalist concept of this chain. Their blithe cement floor provides interesting contrast against the wooden benches, giving the place a very laid-​back vibe. Décor is minimal, with lines kept very clean and the space kept very neat.
What I really appreciate is the way the food items are being displayed– each bread is showcased behind a clear panel and labeled with flags. I am mostly a creature of habit (meaning I keep going back for the same stuff all the time), but the labeled items do sometimes catch my attention and I find myself more willing to try them especially if they have an interesting name or contain an interesting ingredient.
While the menu is not extensive (mostly sandwiches and some breakfast items), I can safely say all of the items are worth a try. My favourite has to be the Tuna Croissant (~$ 6 I think) — they have the fluffiest buttery croissant, freshest lettuce and the tuna filling is so melt-​in-​your-​mouth good. On days when I get crazy carbohydrate cravings, I find myself gravitating to the Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich– so rich and so comforting. If you are a fan of yoghurt or are looking for something light to clear your palette, I also recommend their home-​made yoghurt, topped with jam and muesli.

There are fans of this place, but I’m not so much of one.
The breads aren’t bad, but they are PRICEY. I got a sandwich for lunch some time ago — salt-​cured beef — and I remember being appalled by the size of the sandwich, and more so by the slivers of meat masquerading as beef.
The Girlfriend loves the sticky buns though, so that’s pretty much the only thing I eat from there now.
