t's a takeaway so nothing to say about the setting. Can get very busy throughout the day as waves of people come and go with no fixed timing. I've been there countless times and besides the lunch hour rush, there seems to be other random hour rushes.The staff are harried and obviously being harassed by their manager or supervisor, so they all try to hurry along and stuff your bread roughly and hastily into a bag and hold out their hand waiting for you to pay them.

The staff are harried and obviously being harassed by their manager or supervisor, so they all try to hurry along and stuff your bread roughly and hastily into a bag and hold out their hand waiting for you to pay them. And then they grab your money and dump you the change and move on to the person behind you, without much to say to you. BreadTalk is also the same. Did everyone attend the same bakery service training? Once again, gruffness and lack of words is typical of Singapore "service" standards.
It's quite competitively priced as there's Crystal Jade Bakery just opposite and another bakery next to it. The bakery next to it is much more expensive with less variety and therefore hardly has any customers ever. But you get what you pay for. While it's relatively cheap, the taste and quality are rather low.
The breads are not as soft or are too soft. The buns are either too dry or the fillings make them too soggy. The "Belgium waffles" tasted like cardboard.
Had a thing called "Milk Bread/Toast". It was not toasted at all, and it's basically a very thick slice of white bread drenched in melted margarine and firmed up again, and also drenched in sugar. When you bite into one, your entire mouth, lips, face, get all oily and sticky form the sugar. It would have been better if it was pure creamery butter used instead of margarine! It was really rich and rather sickening by the end of it. Like eating a big piece of margarine covered in sugar.
Had a wholewheat tuna bun which had TOO MUCH onions so that the rest of the day I had onion breath. It's ok if you're on an onion diet and need lots of onions in your diet, but for normal folks, it's overpowering. Tasty but overpowering.
Tried most of the rest of the shop since we go there often and it's so convenient and it's really a "fast food". Nothing outstanding or memorable. Nothing worth getting twice. But it's good as a "fast food". you get so much variety and choice.
Recommended for the reasonable prices and some of the better choices available.
