A new artisanal bakery-cafe will be opening near the Jalan Besar Sports Centre on Dec. 11.

Just a short five-minute walk from Bendemeer MRT station, La Levain is co-founded by executive chef Wythe Ng who formerly helmed Keong Saik Bakery and Bakery Brera and has 18 years of experience.

Having a penchant for "marrying global influences and local fusion in his French classics", his signature bakes include Kouign Amann, Pain Au Chocolat, Burnt Cheese Croissant, Bo Bo Cha Cha Croissant, Hojicha Mochi Croissant, and cruffins.

Here is what the quaint cafe looks like:

Bo bo cha cha croissant and other bakes

Suitable for vegetarians, the Bo Bo Cha Cha Croissant (S$6.50) is made with 'bo bo cha cha' sweet potato, yam and coconut mochi.

And then there's the Brown Sugar Kouign Amann with Himalayan Sea Salt (S$4.80).

Available in five flavours, the cruffins are priced between S$4.60 to S$5.20 each.

If you'd like to try a variety of their pastries, consider picking up the La Levain Signatures Box ($38 for eight items) or the La Levain Classics Box (S$32.80 for six items).
