Micro Bakery: Katong’s Cosiest Sourdough Café

Gone are the days when cafés mostly offered the same tired eggs benny and rainbow cakes. Singapore’s café scene is now bursting with creativity, character, and caffeine-fuelled ambition. And one of our top picks? Micro Bakery at Red House, Katong.

Set in a charming heritage red-brick building—formerly the Katong Bakery & Confectionery—Micro Bakery is a must-visit for fans of soulful sourdough, artful brunch plates, and peaceful vibes. While the brand has outlets in Serene Centre and Tiong Bahru, the Red House location is our absolute favourite.

Why We Love It

From the moment you step in, you’ll notice the gorgeous tiled floors, subway-style signage, and warm, welcoming interiors. The café has ample seating both indoors and out, perfect for lazy weekend brunches or catch-up coffee dates.

But let’s talk about the real star: the sourdough. Micro Bakery bakes its loaves in small batches daily using a 16-hour fermentation and high-temperature “bold baking” method. The result? A dark, caramelised crust and soft, flavourful crumb that elevates everything on the menu.

What to Order

Grilled Four-Cheese Sandwich ($16)
Smoked ricotta, raclette, mozzarella, and cheddar come together in this gooey, satisfying classic.

Roasted Tomato & Ricotta Tartine ($16)
Perfectly balanced, fresh, and light—a great option if you want something less rich.

Seasonal Star: Persimmon Tartine ($18)
Only available for a limited time, this dish is a standout. Think smoked and fresh persimmons, housemade ricotta, candied hazelnuts, all on a thick slice of sourdough. A medley of sweet, tangy, and nutty flavours.

Hot Tip: This is one of the few spots in Singapore where sourdough is the hero, not the sidekick. Come early on weekends to avoid the queue!
