A is for Antoinette

Antoinette is another gorgeous cafe housed in an old office building at Penhas Road, right beside Fragrance Hotel. It is only 5-10 minutes walk from Lavender MRT.

It was established by the Sugar Daddy Group, helmed by award winning pastry chef Pang Kok Keong (previously from Canele Patisserie). The cafe was named after the last queen of France and it offers classic French sweet and savoury treats.

The concept is primarily French and the entrance is the retail area followed by an arrangement of beautiful vintage re-upholstered of armchairs and coffee tables, a feature wall of painted brick decorated with ornate mirrors.

They serve a wide variety of food. They have pastries, cakes, macarons and chocolates as well as all day breakfast, starters, main courses, sandwiches, crepes and pancakes. They also serve homemade ice cream and their tea menu is rather extensive too!

Their napkins, tea cups, plates and every cutlery item was labeled with the Antoinette symbol - a classic gold letter “A”.
