9 bombtastic cream puffs you must try in Singapore
Cream puffs are a simple yet classic pastry sold all over the world. Consisting of a choux pastry enveloping a generous dollop of smooth and luscious cream, what’s not to love about these morsels of goodness?
From simple vanilla cream puffs to more innovative flavours like earl grey, taro and tiramisu, here are 9 places to get bombtastic cream puffs in Singapore.
1. The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.
While Singapore’s oldest tea producer, The 1872 Clipper Tea Co., may be mainly known for its beverages and tea leaves, you may be surprised to learn that they also offer four tea-flavoured cream puffs to act as the perfect dessert to pair with your drinks.
Priced at S$4.50 each, the cream puffs are made with The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.’s very own tea leaves, and are available in four flavours: Milk Tea, Lychee Fiesta, Earl Grey and Eternal Garden.
The Earl Grey Puff had a strong and aromatic tea flavour with a hint of citrus, while the Milk Tea Puff was milder in flavour, luscious and creamy. I loved the strong floral notes from the Eternal Garden Puff, which contained black tea cream infused with rose, and the Lychee Fiesta Puff was a fruity delight that wasn’t too sweet either.
The next time you’re looking for a refreshing tea-flavoured dessert, why not pop by The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.?

Kazo is a Taiwanese bakery that opened its first outlet in Singapore in 2018. Today, they’ve expanded to having outlets islandwide, where you can find their famous cream puffs conveniently.
Priced at S$2.20 each, Kazo’s Crispy Puffs are sized on the smaller end. However, they do not hold back in terms of quality. The Crispy Puffs are available in three flavours: Hokkaido, Chocolate and Matcha.
Each Crispy Puff had a light and airy exterior that produced a satisfying crackle when bitten into. The cream fillings were smooth and luscious, and my favourite was the Matcha flavour, which was floral and earthy.
