We heard Joo Chiat is going car free today (3rd Oct), the first time this initiative has ever stepped outside the C*D, and we could not help but smile at the thought of the street without its usual rush of cars and buses.
We would have loved to be part of it and throw our doors open into the evening, but by the time the road closes at half past three we will already be packing up for the day. Still, we think this is exactly the kind of energy our neighbourhood deserves and we are cheering it on from behind closed shutters. Here is to more of Joo Chiat being given back to the people who walk it every day.
We will be out enjoying with you guys! Enjoy a car free day!

Thank you everyone for showing your love!!!! Some things deserve a second chance to shine, and our black sesame mochi cake is finally back ๐ค
We first launched it years ago and it quickly became a favourite, so we knew it had to return, but not quite the same as before. This time we built it into a triple layer sesame chiffon, folding in roasted black sesame paste deepened with caramelised sugar for a toastier, more grown up flavour, and studding it with soft mochi pieces for that chew we know you love.
It's nutty, it's deep, it's a little nostalgic and a lot exciting.
Available now while stocks last ๐ฐ

Something we've been sitting on for a while is finally happening this weekend, and we cannot wait any longer to tell you ๐
We're bringing back a bake that quickly became a favourite when we first introduced it, and giving it a proper comeback with a few new layers of texture. It's been reworked, retested and reimagined, and we think it might just be even better than before.
This weekend, we're serving it exclusively for dine-in and walk-in takeaway, so if you've never had the chance to try it, this is your moment. We want to see just how much you love it before we decide whether it deserves a proper spot on the menu, so come by, take a seat and taste it for yourself ๐ค
This weekend only. Dine-in exclusive.

Everybody's favourite everyday cake, and we mean it every single time we say it ๐
There's something rather lovely about banana bread that makes without leaving anyone out. Ours is vegan through and through: no eggs, no dairy, just a soft, moist, properly fluffy bake with all the banana flavour you'd hope for and then some.
It's one of the rare banana cakes in Singapore made this way, and that matters to us, because when you're baking for a whole family, you want everyone at the table to have a slice without a second thought. Grandparents, little ones, the mate who's off dairy, the cousin who doesn't do eggs, all covered.

Every Eurasian family has their own heirloom Sugee recipe that's such a mainstay that the cake is practically a member of the family โ present at every single celebration, big or small.
For the longest time Darren was hesitant to bake Sugee. Everyone has their favourite sugee treat, and varying ideas of how it should taste. I suggested that we start from his Grandfather Oscarโs recipe and adapt according to feedback from his family and the Olsen Bakehouse team.
Turned out to be one of the best things we ever did. Like a rich butter cake with an added depth, our Almond Sugee is savoury, gritty and filled with flavours of toasted almonds & semolina.
I always know when this cake is baking; it smells like a cozy home and afternoon tea before I even walk into the kitchen.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do :)

We get peckish a lot, and a light treat with a cup of tea is sometimes all we need to tide us through the next meal. Enter Lemon Coconut Cake.
This cake was bon from a request for a non-chocolatey vegan treat from Darren. After many tries, he perfected it less sweet, fluffy, citrusy, just the way we enjoy our cakes.
Lemon Coconut is one is for the days where you feel grateful that things will fall in place and your heart can feel a little lighter.
Best eaten at room temperature or pop it into the microwave for 20seconds for a warm snack. Perfect for gifting or eating on the go.

Not really a secret,...we've been making our own yogurt in-house for a while now, thick, tangy, and nothing like the stuff off a shelf. We top it with whatever fruit looks best that morning and serve it in its own little bowl, simple as that. Come try it before the weekend crowd gets to it first ๐

14 September. My favourite person in the world was born on this day.
I am blessed to have you in my life, for God created you in His most wonderful light.
I know that on many days you find yourself struggling to find that light. Feeling like you don't deserve it, feeling unworthy.
You are so many things to be celebrated for.
You are the reason why Olsen Bakehouse exists. You are the person who taught me to love, to be kind, to forgive.
Reminding me to be better as a person every day.
You are an amazing mother to 3 little girls. (You might disagree with me depending on the day or moment in any day. But I firmly believe it.)
Your heart overflows with love. You listen with your heart, you hold space for loved ones. You make time for family.
Happy birthday my Love, I am incredibly proud of you โค๏ธ

Turns out we mixed up World Chocolate Day and International Chocolate Day. Today's the real deal, 13 September ๐ซ But any day to celebrate chocolate, we're in!
So today weโre going to shine a light on a classic: chocolate fudge, a sinful, indulgent chocolate-y treat everyone can enjoy, including vegans.
We wanted to make a cake that gives you the same satisfaction as a warm bath after a long day. Moist chocolate sponge layers filled with rich fudgy dark chocolate ganache... you're in for a real treat ๐ค

Everyone can enjoy this cake. Leave no one out of your celebration.
A healthy choice but no less delicious than your usual options, our Whole Foods cake is gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, with no refined sugar. Perfect for a party of peculiar guests, whether you have picky eaters, special dietary needs or allergies.
Naturally sweetened with dates and just a hint of maple. We recommend this for babyโs first cake or all-natural food lovers.

The secret is out... at one point, my family and I were MODELS. (Nothing slips by our marketing manager...)
A while ago, fabulous clothing brand asked Darren and I to take part in a fashion photoshoot. One of our daughters joined as well. As nature lovers, we were thrilled to wear their series of vibrant animal print outfits and try out a different career for the day, away from a busy kitchen.
Thank you Reckless Ericka for this fun opportunity.

We've been searching high and low for a new front of house teammate, though if we're honest, checking the chiller was probably a long shot.
If you're the sort of person who'd rather apply the normal way ๐ enjoys a good chat with customers ๐ฌ and doesn't mind an early start with the smell of fresh bread in the air ๐ฅ do let us know, you'll save us a lot of trouble.
Part time role, weekends included, working alongside our small family team. A warm smile and a willingness to pitch in go a long way.

[PRE_ORDER ends today] This weekโฆ we are going bananas! ๐๐๐
We are saying goodbye to Chocolate Banana cake at the end of this month. But fear not, there are still more banana-flavoured treats from Olsen Bakehouse that you can enjoy!
๐Moist, soft and bursting with all-natural banana flavours, weโre happy to announce that Banana Hazelnut is here to stay. We paired this cake with our homemade hazelnut spread made less sweet and topped with roasted hazelnut crumbs. Perfect match.
๐You canโt go wrong with Banana Bread - certainly not with ours. Made without eggs or dairy, our banana bread is filled with more of its natural, all-banana goodness. Good to eat every day, and good to gift as well. Guaranteed to make your day, and someone elseโs too!
๐Last but not least, Chocolate Banana, originally a Fatherโs Day Special. Soft and moist chocolate cake with salted chocolate cream for distinct taste and roasted caramelised banana. Available until the end of August, last pre-orders on 28th August.
Itโs almost the end of summer. Go bananas with us."

You can count on mochi being chewy and soft, but strawberry mochi bun brings a burst of tart sweetness that not only gets us through the day, but brightens it too. To us, this little snack perfectly represents freshness and passion, all wrapped up in a tiny little bun.
We really believe that few things are as delightful as strawberry. Itโs a classic for a reason. Come get that burst of energy or extra kick at Olsen Bakehouse today ๐

As Orh Nee is one of our all-time favourite flavours AND an important part of our Teochew heritage, itโs no surprise we try to work it into whatever we make. That includes our little mochi buns.
If you are wondering if orh nee mochi might be something youโd enjoy, hear directly from a happy customer who loves this flavour as much as we do. Thank you for your lovely review and putting it in words better than we ever could.
To our other customers, keep the feedback coming - we always love hearing from you! It helps with our commitment to only make things you will love ๐
20/08/2026
Chewy, chocolatey and oozing with every bite โ need we say more?
Instructions for maximum enjoyment:
Slow down as you tear through the mochi pull. As you work your way through the bun, relax mindfully. A few minutes of calm breathing and food fuel is sometimes all we need to push through the rest of the day. ๐ค

We know you love to gift and celebrate with our cakes, and grab a shio pan or croissant with your coffee for breakfast before work. When it comes to food that can journey every day with you, this soft bun is high on the list. Small, sweet and available in popular flavours, some of which might be your favourite, this is great for the always peckish (like Darren!) to eat on the go or reward you at any point of a busy day.
Doesnโt hurt they are also cute as heck ๐ฅฐ
The flavours of our mochi buns are:
๐ซChocolate
๐Strawberry
๐Orh Nee
๐ตMatcha
๐คHojicha
๐คBlack Sesame
And waiting for you right now at Olsen Bakehouse.

We make good bread and small signage ๐
The drinks menu started as one A1 sheet taped to the wall, We went back to fabric like we have always done because it is warmer and it feels more homely.
The only issue was the size, or rather the lack of it.
A few versions later it is up above the counter and you can read it from the door, which feels like progress. The drinks themselves have had a refresh too, with a couple of new ones arriving over the coming weeks โ
Drop by and tell us honestly whether we have finally got the sizing right ๐

There is something about ondeh ondeh that makes everyone go quiet for a second, that first bite when the gula melaka comes through and you remember exactly where you were the first time you had one. We wanted that same moment in a cake, so we bake fresh pandan chiffon and pair it with pure gula melaka, then finish it with toasted coconut ๐ฅฅ
Nothing clever, nothing dressed up, just a flavour that has always belonged to this island ๐ธ๐ฌ

A staple in Chinese desserts., ours is built the same way, smooth yam through the sponge and the cream, coconut on top, and rose petals because that is how it was always served to us ๐
It is a quiet sort of cake, and honestly those are our favourite kind to bake, especially this season ๐ธ๐ฌ
