The French American Pastry is a charming bakery situated on Haji Lane. The bakery's architecture and overall aesthetics, along with their delectable baked goods, are visually delightful. We sampled the cheese danish and creme brulee, and they were both delicious and satisfying. It's the perfect combination to enjoy on sunny days. We can't wait to return for more delightful experiences in the future!

Creme brulee was super yummy with a good portion. The sugar layer was the perfect thickness and custard was so creamy with real vanilla beans. The viral hot chocolate with marshmallow fluff was a bit disappointing. Too sweet and not chocolatey enough

amazing selection of pastries ❤️ come early to get the cinnamon rolls because they run out of it so fast! Loved the marshmallow hot chocolate too but it might be a bit too thick for some :')

Wide choices of pastries that being freshly bake everyday. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Not available for dine-in and only for take away. They also sell kombucha and granolas.The cafe also smell so good because of the fresh pastries. Tried the cinnamon rolls and it is quite good. Would love to come again and try other pastries

I got a creme brulee. They added sugar to the top, and burned it with a burner to caramelize it in front of me, which was cool. But when I got home and opened it, the sugar had all turned to liquid. Was quite disappointed, especially because it was not edible. It's a shame, because other baked goods I've gotten were pretty good.

Great food! Yummy chocolate marshmallow drink 🤤 only downside is that they have no chairs. Since they're mainly a bakery, there's no available chair. You can take a seat at the cafe beside tho, just order something there too so it's not embarrassing 😅 The croissant, cookie and cinnamon caramel roll are really good! Not too sweet, just nice. And the texture is amazing! Flavor bombs 🥰 will definitely go back!

I came here to try their Hot Chocolate with Torched Marshmallows. The hot chocolate is so-so, just like a regular hot chocolate, and the marshmallow is too sweet for my taste. I ended up stirring them together. Also, it wasn't the best decision to have it during SG's hot weather 🫠 They also offer a variety of pastries. I tried their almond croissant, and it was delicious.

You will not miss the queue at TFAB along haji lane. The pastry choices were good. I love the caramel cinnamon roll and hazelnut croissant we got. Hot chocolate? Of course i tried it. Needless to say, it was perfect. Richness of cocoa and sweetness of marshmellow fluff. Extremely love it. Regretably it is a small cafe serving only takeaways, hence there is no dine in area available. But if you dont mind consuming ur food n drink elsewhr, i highly recommend TFAB. You will be served by polite and helpful staff. Queue time was barely noticeable as you would be salivating over which pastry you'd like to have.

Shop space is small and allows maximum of 5 pax at a time, party of 2. Constant short queue but it moved quickly. Tried the hyped Hot Chocolate with Marshmallow Fluff ($8). Freshly piped and torched in front of us. It was a bit too sweet and cloying after awhile, but worth a try. Plain croissant ($4) is generously sized, not the super crispy sort. Tastes great dipped into the hot chocolate. Be there earlier for a better selection of bakes. We arrived at 5.15pm on a Sunday so most pastries were almost sold out. Will be back to try other pastries!

Came here after the rave reviews about this place. The place’s quite small and only 5 customers were allowed to enter at once. This created a queue for the place and I guess that’s how the hype was built up in the first place. They had a wide selection of pastries at the display counter that were eye catching and i was tempted to buy them all. I had quite a few pastries as takeaway to them out. Kouign-Amann stood out to me due to its unique name and also it’s flakiness but it’s a tad too sweet to me if I had to finish it all by myself. Almond croissant was flaky as well but the texture wasn’t soft in a way that would amaze me. It’s a bit hard on the texture but I still liked it. Chocolate hazelnut croissant was rich in the filling and yet not too overwhelming. It’s quite flaky too. I liked this better compared with almond croissant. Mango coconut danish was done in a conservative way where the part that I liked was the mango filling. I’d tell the mango was fresh! Chocolate swirl was my favorite as the chocolate topping was rich and even the inside of the swirl was oozing with chocolate cream. Had to share this with someone as it’s too heavy to finish it all by myself.

Google Maps navigated me to the kitchen, further down Haji Lane at first. The actual bakery is in a green building on the right side as you enter from North Bridge Road. I don't know why I ordered a hot chocolate in the heat of the day, but it was amazing and worth the hype. I tried 3 different pastries and all were good, but the pain au chocolat was the best.

Came here on a humid Saturday afternoon and it's packed with tourists along Haji Lane. Saw this online and had to try it for the festive X'mas spirit, and I would say it's rather pleasant! The store is rather small, and there is no seating. It's a take-away concept where there are pastries, Creme brulee, and of course, their signature hot chocolate with torched marshmallow swirl. For $8 a cup for a warm hot chocolate, it is rather value for money not only for their portion size but also a deep fragrant chocolate flavour. It leans towards a "very sugary" profile rather than decadent chocolate richness. Sweetness comes mainly from the soft marshmallow swirl and the hot chocolate itself.

Polite and pleasant service, nice pastries. Things get sold out fast that in the afternoon only a few items are left. So far from my 2 trips, I got cinnamon buns, raspberry pistachio financiers, almond croissant, chocolate croissants and chocolate fudge cookie. The latter, believe it or not, went well with Soya Bean Milk drink (for me of course hahahah). I absolutely loved the financiers and almond croissant. Note that only 5 customers are allowed in at one time because the place is quite small, otherwise it would be hectic.

No seating. Food is not up to standard. Bought an original and pistachio financier, thin and lost its fluffiness. Cinnamon bun, sugar icing is disgusting and does not go well with the bun. Bun is dry and hard inside even when it’s heat up. I’m sorry but this is one of the worse bakery I’ve encountered.

finally got to try the famous hot chocolate! the serving of marshmallow was very generous, and when heated it's texture was perfect ✨ the hot chocolate itself was very dense, and not the best we've had. however, it was sweet and decadent. shoutout to the the female staff there (20/12) was extremely friendly and patient! this is definitely worth a try, but we wouldn't get it again as it was $8.

Small bakery located in Haji lane with good taste of Kouign-amann. The place is relatively small so it can only served 5 customers per time and it only serve take away. Open at 11 am and when I am there it have some queing start before opening. It also have famous marshmallow chocolate drink that have tempting looks. The chocolate drink is ok but a bit too sweet if you mix all the marshmallow inside the drinks. Takes only cash payment in here.
