The Muffinry Bakery and Cafe

I really liked the look of this cute little café and their cute muffins so I finally decided to get two of them today. Have not had a chance to try the carrot one, but sorry to say that the lavender-​lemon muffin tasted like soap :(
i had very high hopes and I will most likely try this place again because they look like they have cute cookies, but the lavender-​lemon muffin was stodgy and soapy!

The carrot muffin for $ 2.20 was moist and flavorful.
–1 star for the layout of the first floor. Everything was placed in such an odd and inefficient manner. The shop house is narrow as is already… I’m not sure why there would only be one small table and chairs a few feet away from the register. It was so hard for customers to form a line without being in the way of all the workers who kept walking back and forth from the back to the front of the store.
–1 for the customer service. I was in the mist of grabbing a muffin from the cabinet, and a worker, who was bringing a new pan of muffins, said excuse me and proceeded to shove a pan of muffins in my face while I helped her fully open the sliding cabinet door since the tray wasn’t fitting. Although, the cashier lady was very friendly, I do feel bad that I’m subtracting one star for this, but hey first impression counts! Additionally, please pick up the speed. Lunch time is pretty much rush hour. I almost walked away without buying, as waiting in line for 5 – 10 mins is just too long of a wait for a muffin.

Very nice café to escape to at lunchtime! Great coffee and exceptionally lovely staff. Lots of space upstairs

One of the very best coffees you’ll find in the cbd. Pastries generally pretty decent though some are better than others — particularly fond of chocolate banana and lychee raspberry muffins, as well as their crème brûlée.
Comfortable place to hang out and enjoy a natter, now that they’ve expanded their premises and have more seating area.

The Muffinry is a blink-​and-​miss little shop tucked away in the heart of Telok Ayer. Thankfully I didn’t blink.
As the shop name suggests, its specialty is in the muffins. They have an assortment of surprising flavours such as Apple Crumble Blueberry (which i loved), Banana Chocolate, Lime & Macadamia Nut besides the usual favourites of Double Chocolate, Carrot and Walnut, and even a savoury option of Avocado, Ham and Spring Onion.
The muffins were moist inside, which would pair perfectly with a hot drink which they serve as well to wash down those yummy crumbs.
I also had a quiche that was good, but not my favourite in the world. I prefer my quiches fatter and thicker and this was slightly thin.
Would come back again just to take away those lovely muffins! (btw they sell scones, tarts, and mini cakes as well)

A cosy café at Telok Ayer, just off the main CBD area. My favourite thing there are their tarts instead of muffins! You can’t go wrong with their tarts

I’ve never been much of a fan of paying much money for, well, what is essentially flour (all you bakers — hold your pitchforks!)…but the muffinry has made me quite a believer.
I’ve never fancied muffins to be very tempting, they often look very dull, very standard, and rarely as colourful as cupcakes. But the muffinry cupcakes… are of a different class. They seem to possess that little home-​made goody quality that implores me to explore them beyond their outer shell. I duly did that with my now favourite fig and earl grey muffin, and have never looked back.
An absolutely glorious cupcake if I’d ever had one. The earl grey taste was fantastic, and its cirtus qualities brought out by two fairly sizable bits of fig that quite literally spiced up the cupcake. The consistency of the cupcake was formidable again, crumbling perfectly, though not annoyingly. With such skill to make such a good cupcake, I’m already looking forward to my next one.

The Muffinry is awesome. Its a tiny café located near the CBD on Telok Ayer Street. The café serves great coffee, simple lunches and sandwiches and of course muffins.
They have some pretty cool flavors of muffins here like green eggs and ham and lavender. But my favorite is the banana chocolate. Its moist, sticky and very chocolatey. They also have some other pastries and cakes and I have tried the carrot cake which was pretty great. Really good cream cheese frosting and a moist carrot cake.
The coffee is great here! Head here instead of going to Starbucks! Staff is super friendly and make conversation with you.

This is truly a delicious find.
Casual, unpretentious and with the friendliest, warmest team I’ve met in a while, The Muffinry is a must-​visit.
Their muffins are moist and fluffy, and I really enjoyed the one with macadamia even though I’m not usually a fan of nuts. I haven’t had a chance to have a proper meal here yet, but their breakfast and lunch menus look like welcoming comfort food. The dinner options are a little less inspiring because I’m not big on pies, but if they’re anything like the muffins, I bet they’re worth a shot, too.

Let’s face it — it’s extremely hard to find an eating establishment in the CBD that has some sort of credibility nowadays. Everything’s either deep fried (if you want to do budget chic) or extremely overpriced.
But over here at The Muffinry, expect a cosy, wholesome and homely environment (despite the mini size of the shop), and the lovely warm smiles from the owners and service staff. And a lunch here won’t hurt your wallet!
Who said Green Eggs and Ham did not exist? They do, and they not only provide a savoury option, this muffin is probably the only one that comes close enough to providing all the nutrients you need to jumpstart your day!
The Lavender Lemon (both muffins at $ 2.40) also clinches an award for the most aromatic muffin — take it in as you sit in their roomy café sipping on a flat white.

This is my love letter (review) to The Muffinry…(imagine the homeliest housewife voice saying all this out loud)
Sip a cup of their flat white and feel the warmth of a welcomed hug on your worst day.
Take a bite of their muffin and hear your mother’s gentle voice telling you to be careful, it’s hot off the oven.
Dive into their lemon curd tart and feel that tingle in your bones that you get when you open the best birthday suprise present… ever.
What sorcery is this?!
Meet THE MUFFINRY — a cosy unpretentious café tucked in Telok Ayer Street serving muffins, tarts, pies, sandwiches and coffee with homemade goodness on the side. The year-​old joint has served loyal customers who were first drawn to the smell of freshly baked muffins. Many have since returned for seconds and thirds after sinking their teeth, heart and soul, into these rustic goodness. And since the number of guests have been piling up after news spread of the charming new bakery in town, just like their hospitable food, the owners have expanded their space to give a bigger welcome.
If you’ve been going through the motions of soulless breakfast, lunch and dinner, then it’s about time that you treat yourself to a soulful tea break. No need for baking or going home to mom’s cooking, just head to The Muffinry, right smack in the middle of the business district for your convenience. There’s nothing quite like home, yes, but coming a close second is that there’s nothing quite like… home-​made.
Final verdict: The Muffinry is another name for «that magical muffin factory» — there must be some magic little elves in the kitchen baking the delicious muffins and roasting those delicious coffee.

Muffins are seriously underrated compared to cupcakes in Singapore, so it’s great that a place like Muffinry (awesome name) exists! Located at Telok Ayer Street, this café caters to the CBD crowd — a smart move I must say. Very convenient for perk-​me-​ups in the middle of a lousy work day.
I don’t work in Shenton way but I managed to pick up a blueberry apple crumble muffin when I was in the area, and had it heated up at home as a snack. The blueberries and bits of apple chunks made the muffin moist and delicious. I like the muffin, but I wish they were a bit bigger. The apple chunks were really tiny. A muffin of that size would definitely not be a substantial breakfast.
I will definitely be back to try out their other products! According to their Facebook page (
), they’re bringing in beers and ciders as well. Sounds good!
Note that they’re only open on weekdays so don’t make a wasted trip down during the weekends!

The best Mondays are when I bring a box of The Muffinry’s baked goods with me to the office. Mondays can never be too blue with a moist banana walnut muffin or some mini profiteroles or delicate macarons.
This great bake shop also does savoury muffins (pizza muffins anyone?) and offers at least six types of muffins on any given day. The lady boss also mentioned that they’ve supplied for a number of baby’s full month’s celebration as well.
The banana walnut is good and my top choice, though many of my colleagues swear by the double chocolate. There are a handful of tables in the café if you wish to dine in as well, but having them to go means you get your muffins in a nice Muffinry (sometimes pink) cloth bag.
