There is a fairly simple test for a good bombolone: the filling should not be the only interesting thing about it.
Singapore’s bomboloni boom produced plenty of extremely photogenic doughnuts with cream spilling dramatically from the centre, but once the novelty settled, the better bakeries were the ones that paid just as much attention to the dough. A good bombolone should be light enough that you want another bite, substantial enough to hold its filling and fresh enough that the sugar-coated exterior has not turned oily or heavy.
The category has also become much broader here. You can still find something close to a classic Italian bombolone filled with pastry cream, but Singapore bakeries now make sourdough versions, Japanese nama-style bomboloni fermented with koji yeast, savoury bombos filled with mentaiko or egg mayo, and decidedly local variations involving kaya and Milo.
For 2026, The Fat Kid Bakery is our best overall pick, particularly if you like a little tang in the dough and want both sweet and savoury fillings. Doughnut Shack offers some of the best value among dedicated specialists, while Burnt Ends Bakery is our choice for a more indulgent premium box. For halal-certified bomboloni, start with All Things Delicious.
Quick answer: Where can you find the best bomboloni in Singapore?
For most people, we would start with The Fat Kid Bakery on Amoy Street. It specialises in sourdough “bombos” and has one of the most distinctive ranges in Singapore, including both dessert fillings and savoury options such as torched mentaiko cream, spicy egg mayo, sour cream and onion, and roasted garlic mascarpone. Its current savoury box of four costs $26.50, while larger sweet boxes are available for sharing.
For a more conventional sugar-coated filled bombolini at a lower price, Doughnut Shack in Whampoa is especially attractive. Its current November–December 2026 menu starts at $4.20 for flavours such as Donutella, pistachio ganache and crème brûlée, with more elaborate seasonal fillings around $4.50 to $4.80.
If presentation and premium fillings matter more than price, Burnt Ends Bakery currently offers a five-piece pick-your-own box for $32.50, with choices including Italian pistachio, smoked Japanese yuzu, lemon meringue, Nutella, passionfruit curd, Milo Dinosaur and vanilla cream.
About this guide
We checked bakeries and cafés that currently sell bomboloni or closely related filled brioche doughnuts in Singapore, prioritising businesses where the product is an important part of the menu rather than a one-off seasonal special.
We compared dough style, filling range, current prices where publicly available, ordering flexibility, physical locations, dietary information and whether there was a meaningful reason to choose one bakery over another.
The definition needs a little flexibility. Not every bakery uses the Italian singular bombolone or plural bomboloni. The Fat Kid Bakery calls its sourdough versions “bombos”, while Nassim Hill describes its versions as brioche doughnuts. They belong here because they follow the same basic format: rounded, enriched fried dough filled generously from the centre rather than the familiar American ring doughnut.
This guide is based primarily on current editorial research rather than a simultaneous tasting of every bakery’s latest menu. We therefore do not present descriptions of fluffiness, sweetness or filling quality as our own tasting observations where they have not been independently tested for this update.
Last checked: 30 October 2026.
What happened to Sourbombe?
Older Singapore bomboloni guides frequently put Sourbombe at or near the top, so its absence from this list is deliberate.
Sourbombe was one of the businesses that helped popularise sourdough bomboloni in Singapore, growing from a home-based operation into a four-outlet chain. However, founder Genevieve Lee’s remaining Sourbombe outlets closed in 2025 and earlier in 2026 after their leases expired. As of October 2026, she has said she has no immediate plans to revive the brand.
We would rather remove a famous but closed bakery than keep it in the guide because it still appears in older search results.
Who is this guide for?
This guide is for anyone looking specifically for filled bomboloni rather than a general roundup of Singapore’s best doughnuts.
That includes people who want a classic custard-filled version, sourdough bomboloni, pistachio or chocolate fillings, unusual savoury versions, halal-certified options and boxes for offices or parties.

1. The Fat Kid Bakery
Best for: Sourdough bomboloni and unusual savoury fillings
Location: 39 Amoy Street
Style: Sourdough “bombos”
The Fat Kid Bakery is our best overall choice because bomboloni are not simply one pastry among twenty here. They are central to the bakery’s identity.
Its dough is made with a sourdough starter, which gives the finished bombo a different character from a standard sweet brioche doughnut. The bakery then takes the format in two directions: dessert-like sweet bombos and an unusually extensive savoury range.
The current savoury box contains Spicy Egg Mayo, Torched Mentaiko Cream, Sour Cream & Onion and Roasted Garlic Mascarpone and costs $26.50 for four.
Sweet bombos are sold in several box sizes. An eight-piece box is currently $31.20 and a ten-piece box is $38.80, while smaller boxes are also available.
The Amoy Street location also makes it one of the easiest specialist choices for CBD workers. Opening hours currently run Monday to Saturday, with the bakery closed on Sundays.
Editor’s Verdict
This is the first place we would send someone who wants to understand what Singapore has done with the bomboloni format.
The sourdough base gives the bakery a genuine point of difference, and the savoury range is more than an afterthought. If you are ordering for an office, a mixture of sweet and savoury bombos also makes considerably more sense than giving everyone four different forms of chocolate cream.
2. Doughnut Shack
Best for: Good-value specialist bomboloni and pistachio
Location: 87 Whampoa Drive, #01-887
Style: Japanese nama bomboloni made with natural koji yeast
Doughnut Shack has been around since 2016, but its current version is particularly interesting because the bakery now describes its doughnuts as Japanese nama bombolinis made with natural koji yeast.
Its November–December 2026 menu is also unusually easy to compare. Donutella, pistachio ganache, peanut-butter-and-jam and crème brûlée bomboloni are currently $4.20 each. Honey vanilla cream and raspberry dark chocolate are $4.50, while butterscotch pecan is $4.80.
The crème brûlée is particularly fun conceptually because the bakery adds a crunchy caramel top over vanilla custard, giving the bombolone an actual textural point of difference instead of merely renaming vanilla cream.
The business is not halal-certified. Doughnut Shack states, however, that it does not use pork, lard, gelatine or alcohol in preparing its doughnuts.
Editor’s Verdict
Doughnut Shack is probably the easiest specialist recommendation if you want to try several flavours without turning a doughnut run into a $40 exercise.
Its $4.20 starting point remains reasonable for a generously filled artisanal doughnut, and the rotating menu gives regular customers a reason to return.
3. Burnt Ends Bakery
Best for: Premium bomboloni-style doughnuts and gifting
Locations: Dempsey Road and Audi House of Progress, Cross Street
Current pick-your-own box: $32.50 for five
Burnt Ends Bakery takes the indulgent approach.
Its current Pick Your Own Doughnuts Box costs $32.50 for five, and the selection gives you a good idea of where the bakery sits stylistically: Italian Pistachio, Smoked Japanese Yuzu, Lemon Meringue, Nutella, Passionfruit Curd, Milo Dinosaur and Vanilla Cream.
The Italian Pistachio version uses a slow-proved brioche base filled with roasted Italian pistachio cream, while the vanilla option uses Tahitian vanilla cream. The bakery also sells its fillings in larger quantities for parties and corporate orders.
You are paying noticeably more here than at Doughnut Shack or Puffs And Peaks, but the positioning is also different. This is less “I want a doughnut after lunch” and more “I am turning up at someone’s house with a very serious box of doughnuts”.
Editor’s Verdict
Burnt Ends Bakery is our premium pick, particularly for pistachio lovers or gifting.
We would not choose it on value alone. The appeal is the combination of polished presentation, richer fillings and flavours that feel closer to restaurant-pastry ideas than neighbourhood doughnut-shop staples.
4. Puffs And Peaks
Best for: Rotating flavours and east-side doughnut runs
Locations: Tampines Central Community Complex and Tampines Changkat Community Club
Style: Filled brioche doughnuts
Puffs And Peaks started life as a home-based bakery and has since expanded to two Tampines locations, including its original bakery at Tampines Central Community Complex and a newer bakery café at Tampines Changkat Community Club.
The frustrating and appealing thing about Puffs And Peaks is essentially the same: the menu changes.
The bakery says its current menu is updated through Instagram, with donuts among the everyday categories but individual flavours changing with the weekly selection.
Over the years that has allowed it to cycle through far more interesting combinations than a static vanilla-chocolate-strawberry lineup, including matcha, hojicha, passionfruit curd, apple pie, taro coconut and other seasonal flavours.
It also makes Puffs And Peaks particularly suited to repeat visits. What you buy in February may be completely different from what is available six months later.
Editor’s Verdict
Puffs And Peaks is our east-side pick and one of the better choices if novelty matters to you.
We would check the day’s menu before travelling specifically for one flavour. That slight unpredictability is part of the charm if you live nearby, but less charming if you crossed Singapore because someone told you to buy a particular donut from an Instagram post six weeks ago.
5. All Things Delicious
Best for: Halal-certified bomboloni and party boxes
Location: 34 Arab Street
Price: $29.50 for six; $78.90 for 18
All Things Delicious is the easiest recommendation here for anyone specifically looking for halal-certified bomboloni.
Its current six-piece box costs $29.50 and includes a choice of house-made fillings such as Kaya Pandan Butter, Gianduja Chocolate Hazelnut and Italian Pistachio Crunch. The brioche bomboloni are made to order and the bakery recommends eating them on the same day.
For larger gatherings, the 18-piece Bombolinis Party Box currently costs $78.90, reduced from $89 at the time of checking.
The halal status is clearly stated by the bakery: its pastries are MUIS halal-certified and produced in its halal kitchen on Arab Street.
There is also something distinctly Singaporean about being able to order kaya-pandan bomboloni alongside Italian pistachio and chocolate hazelnut. It is a good example of how far the local version has moved from a rigid interpretation of the Italian original.
Editor’s Verdict
All Things Delicious is our clear choice for halal-certified bomboloni, and also one of the better options for parties.
The six- and eighteen-piece formats are practical, the fillings cover both familiar and local flavours, and its established delivery operation makes it considerably easier to organise for an office or celebration than a bakery that relies entirely on walk-in stock.
6. ÁTIPICO Atelier
Best for: A more recognisably Italian bombolone
Location: 1 West Coast Drive, #01-82
Flavours: Crema and Choco+
If the increasingly elaborate Singapore versions have left you wondering what happened to simply filling a bombolone with pastry cream, ÁTIPICO provides a useful reset.
Its artisan-bakery menu keeps things straightforward. Bomboloni Crema are sugar-rolled fluffy doughnuts filled with Italian pastry cream, while Bomboloni Choco+ use a chocolate-hazelnut spread.
ÁTIPICO was founded by Italian chef Matteo Pertoldi, who moved to Singapore in 2010, and the broader bakery focuses heavily on European breads and pastry rather than doughnut trends alone.
Orders can also be delivered the following day when placed before the bakery’s cut-off time, although we would check the live ordering page for current bomboloni availability before making a special trip.
Editor’s Verdict
ÁTIPICO is the one we would choose if you specifically want something closer to the classic Italian idea of a bombolone.
There are only two core flavours, but that restraint is precisely the appeal. Not every doughnut needs pistachio kunafa, tiramisu foam and three forms of crumble attached to it.
7. Kobashi
Best for: Creative seasonal flavours
Location: 79 South Bridge Road
Style: Small-batch artisanal doughnuts
Kobashi has grown from a smaller baking operation into a two-storey coffeehouse on South Bridge Road, where its products continue to be made in batches rather than as a mass-market doughnut line.
Its doughnut menu is particularly strong if you prefer the flavour combinations to change. Recent 2026 offerings highlighted by local dining guides have included butterscotch banana, maple pecan, Kahlua cheesecake, mango yuzu and crunchy pistachio kunafe, with doughnuts starting at around $3.60.
That gives Kobashi a different appeal from somewhere such as ÁTIPICO. You are not going because you want the most traditional bombolone possible; you are going because you want to see what the bakery has decided to put inside one this month.
Editor’s Verdict
Kobashi is one of the more interesting city-centre choices for people who get bored with standard custard fillings.
Its South Bridge Road location also makes it easy to combine with a Chinatown or CBD outing rather than travelling specifically to an industrial or residential bakery.
8. Nakey
Best for: Bomboloni during a Chinatown visit
Location: 10 Trengganu Street
Style: Italian-inspired sourdough bombolone
Nakey is a useful newer addition because it puts filled sourdough doughnuts right in the middle of Chinatown.
The Chinatown Singapore directory currently lists Nakey at 10 Trengganu Street, open daily, and specifically identifies bombolone doughnuts as one of the café’s signature offerings.
The doughnuts use a liquid sourdough starter, and recent selections have included flavours such as Nutty Praline, Custard Bastard and Lemon Basil, generally around $5.50 to $6 each.
Nakey is more of a café experience than a dedicated doughnut takeaway counter, which can be an advantage if you want somewhere to sit rather than carrying a box around in the Singapore heat.
Editor’s Verdict
Nakey is the bomboloni stop we would work into a Chinatown afternoon rather than treating as a cross-island pilgrimage.
The sourdough base and less conventional fillings make it interesting enough to seek out if you are already nearby, particularly if you want coffee and somewhere to sit with the doughnut.
9. Nassim Hill Bakery Bistro Bar
Best for: Kaya-filled brioche doughnuts
Location: 56 Tanglin Road, #01-03
Style: Brioche doughnuts with house-made fillings
Nassim Hill is not a bomboloni specialist, and that distinction is worth making.
It is an all-day bakery, bistro and bar, but its filled brioche doughnuts have remained a recognisable part of the bakery counter. Nassim Hill states that it bakes fresh every day and makes its fillings from scratch, including the kaya used in its brioche doughnuts.
The classic combination is kaya and chocolate cream, making this one of the least complicated recommendations in the guide. You are not deciding between sixteen rotating flavours or buying a fixed party box; you can simply have a freshly made filled brioche doughnut alongside breakfast or coffee.
Editor’s Verdict
Nassim Hill is not where we would send someone looking for the widest bomboloni selection, but its kaya doughnut fills a useful niche.
It is especially appropriate for someone who wants a Singapore-flavoured filled doughnut as part of a proper sit-down brunch rather than a dedicated doughnut run.
What exactly is a bombolone?
A bombolone is an Italian filled doughnut. Bomboloni is the plural.
Unlike the classic American ring doughnut, it generally has no hole in the centre. The dough is fried as a round bun, coated or dusted with sugar and piped with a filling such as pastry cream, chocolate or jam.
In Singapore, the term is used fairly broadly. Some bakeries make traditional brioche-style bomboloni, while others use sourdough starters, Japanese fermentation techniques or dough recipes that they simply call filled doughnuts or bombos.
For this guide, we care less about whether a bakery uses the exact Italian label and more about whether the product follows the same filled, round-doughnut format.
What makes a good bombolone?
The filling gets most of the attention, but the dough is what separates a genuinely good bombolone from a cream delivery system.
It should feel light enough after frying that the filling does not make the whole thing oppressive. The outside should have a little structure, while the centre should remain soft and airy.
There also needs to be some restraint with the filling. A photograph of cream pouring onto someone’s hand may perform wonderfully on social media, but more filling is not automatically better. If the first bite contains nothing but custard and the dough might as well not exist, the balance has gone too far.
Freshness matters enormously as well. Bomboloni are at their best on the day they are fried. All Things Delicious explicitly recommends same-day consumption, while Puffs And Peaks similarly recommends eating its donuts on the day of delivery if possible.
How much do bomboloni cost in Singapore?
For an artisanal filled doughnut, roughly $4 to $7 per piece is a useful 2026 expectation.
Doughnut Shack currently begins at $4.20 for several bomboloni, while Nakey sits closer to $5.50–$6. Burnt Ends’ five-piece premium box works out to about $6.50 per doughnut.
Buying boxes can lower or at least stabilise the effective price. The Fat Kid Bakery’s eight-piece box is $31.20, for example, while All Things Delicious charges $29.50 for six.
The important thing is to compare like with like. A basic custard bombolone and an oversized sourdough doughnut filled with pistachio cream do not have the same ingredient or production cost.
Where can you find halal bomboloni in Singapore?
All Things Delicious is the clearest option in this guide for halal-certified bomboloni. Its bakery and pastries are MUIS halal-certified, and its current bomboloni can be ordered in boxes of six or eighteen.
Do not assume that a bakery is halal-certified simply because its doughnuts do not contain pork.
For example, Doughnut Shack states that it is not halal-certified, although it does not use pork, lard, gelatine or alcohol in its doughnuts. Puffs And Peaks similarly states that it is not halal-certified, while saying its products are pork-, alcohol- and lard-free.
If certification matters, check the current MUIS directory before making a special trip because certification can change.
Which bomboloni are best for an office or party?
For larger orders, All Things Delicious, The Fat Kid Bakery and Burnt Ends Bakery are particularly easy to shortlist.
All Things Delicious has an 18-piece party box and an established catering operation. The Fat Kid Bakery offers larger boxes, mini bombos and corporate ordering, while Burnt Ends sells its doughnuts in multiple quantities and runs corporate and catering orders.
For a mixed office, All Things Delicious also has the advantage of halal certification.
Should you preorder bomboloni?
If you need a particular flavour or more than a few pieces, yes.
Small-batch bakeries frequently rotate flavours and can sell out before closing. This is especially relevant at Puffs And Peaks, where availability is updated throughout the day, and at The Fat Kid Bakery when you need a specific box rather than whatever remains at the counter.
For casual snacking, walking in is part of the fun. For a birthday, office order or a drive across Singapore specifically for pistachio bomboloni, preordering is considerably less stressful.
Frequently asked questions
Where are the best bomboloni in Singapore?
Our best overall pick is The Fat Kid Bakery on Amoy Street, particularly for its sourdough bombos and mix of sweet and savoury fillings. Doughnut Shack is a strong lower-priced specialist, while Burnt Ends Bakery is the better premium option.
Where can I buy pistachio bomboloni in Singapore?
Doughnut Shack currently sells a Pistachio Ganache bombolini for $4.20, while Burnt Ends Bakery has an Italian Pistachio doughnut made with roasted Italian pistachio cream. All Things Delicious also offers Italian Pistachio Crunch among its bomboloni fillings.
Where can I buy crème brûlée bomboloni?
Doughnut Shack currently sells a Crème Brulee bombolini for $4.20, made with vanilla custard beneath a crunchy caramelised coating.
Are there savoury bomboloni in Singapore?
Yes. The Fat Kid Bakery has one of the most developed savoury selections, with a current box containing spicy egg mayo, torched mentaiko cream, sour cream and onion, and roasted garlic mascarpone.
Which bomboloni bakery is best in the east?
Puffs And Peaks is our main east-side recommendation, with two locations in Tampines and a regularly changing menu of filled doughnuts and other bakes.
Is Sourbombe still open in Singapore?
No. Sourbombe’s remaining outlets closed by 2026 after their leases expired. Founder Genevieve Lee has since moved into bakery consulting and said in October 2026 that she had no immediate plans to revive Sourbombe.
Are bomboloni best eaten fresh?
Yes. Filled fried dough loses much of its appeal as it sits. All Things Delicious recommends eating its bomboloni on the day of collection or delivery, and Puffs And Peaks makes the same recommendation for its filled donuts.
If you do refrigerate leftovers, follow the individual bakery’s reheating instructions rather than assuming every cream-filled doughnut should be microwaved.
Final verdict
For the best overall bomboloni experience in Singapore right now, we would start with The Fat Kid Bakery. Its sourdough base gives the dough itself some character, while the choice between sweet and properly savoury fillings makes it feel more distinctive than a bakery competing solely on how much cream it can squeeze into one bun.
Doughnut Shack is the better everyday specialist when value and choice matter, especially if pistachio or crème brûlée is what you are after. Burnt Ends Bakery moves in the opposite direction: higher prices, more elaborate ingredients and a box that makes sense as a gift.
On the east side, Puffs And Peaks remains one of the more interesting bakeries to revisit because the flavours keep changing. For halal-certified bomboloni and larger gatherings, All Things Delicious is the easiest recommendation.
And if what you actually want is a classic sugar-coated doughnut filled with Italian pastry cream rather than this week’s viral filling, go to ÁTIPICO.
That variety is probably the best thing about Singapore’s bomboloni scene in 2026. The initial craze may have passed, but the bakeries that remain have stopped trying to make identical cream-filled doughnuts—and become considerably more interesting as a result.
