Tiong Bahru Bakery Foothills is housed in the former River Valley Swimming Complex, one of the earliest public pools in Singapore. Nestled in lush greenery, the new cafe is the perfect blend of new meets old, with swimming pool-themed decor complementing the elements left behind by the former swimming complex.

Tiong Bahru Bakery Foothills was designed to mirror a lodge in the woods, and the indoor area seats 75 comfortably around an island counter, while the outdoor patio seats 60. Go for the outdoor seats if you wish to be closer to nature!

The walls are also plastered with pool-inspired stickers in line with the theme.

The open-concept kitchen at the Foothills outlet is also a first for Tiong Bahru Bakery. You can now admire the artisans hard at work behind the counter, handcrafting croissants that are freshly baked every two hours.
