I can’t find ____ on the online shop – how do I order?
Certain items are available for walk-in purchase only due to limited production capacity! This includes new/weekend specials (such as the Mini Strawberry/Blueberry with Creme Patissiere Tart, Cinnamon Roll). If you’re looking to order in bulk, do drop us a message for your enquiry 🙂

Website orders need to be placed at least TWO days in advance.
If you need to order more urgently, please get in touch via WA Biz 84136569 with your requested items, quantities, and delivery/collection time. We will do our best to accommodate if we can!
Do you offer delivery?

How do I make payment? Can I pay on collection?
We will need full payment before confirming any reservation 🙂
When an order is placed online, an auto-generated email will be sent to you with the unique 5 digit order number. We will look through every order, confirm payment status and send through a confirmation email within 2-5 days. In case when payment is not successful, payment methods can be found here: https://bakerybrera.com/payment/. Please reply to the auto-generated email with a screenshot of payment confirmation. Do refrain from sending a separate email as it may go to spam or delay the processing of your order.
In case when you did not receive any confirmation 1 day before your order fulfilment date, it may be due to an incorrect email provided. Do drop us an email with your order number, name and contact number to facilitate checking.
Can I request for my order to be packed separately into multiple different packages?
If you would like separate packages for your order, please give details in the “special request” section, or reply to the order confirmation email with the request. Additional packaging fees ($0.40-$1 per box) may apply.
Do I need to join the queue if I am picking up an order?
No need – you can give your name and order number to staff at the door, and wait outside of the shop. Kindly step away from the entrance door and adhere to all social distancing rules. We will attend to you as soon as possible.
Am I still able to browse the shelves for additional purchases when I collect my order?
Yes. Kindly inform us about your collection first, before joining the queue to browse.
Can I make any changes to my order?
Please double-check your selected collection date and cart items before proceeding to checkout. If you need to make changes, please reply to the confirmation email with your request and we will accommodate if we are able to.
Can I cancel my order and ask for refund?
Unfortunately, we adopt a strict no-cancellation policy for our online shop. That’s why we prompt you with a checkbox to inform you of our policy before checkout. In the event that we are unable to make the changes for you, we may change out the items for store credits instead for you to use in the next purchase. If not, you may wish to pass on your order to someone deserving as love gift.

SHOP
Why are you charging 10 cents for plastic bags?
We’re an environmentally-friendly bakery hoping to create MINDFULNESS in our society and encourage everyone to bring their own containers, recycled and reusable bags. We aim to reduce wastage – to save costs AND to promote green habits & responsibility.
In view of high consumption of takeaway boxes, we will be levying $0.40-$1 per box used, and $0.10 for plastic carriers. For any spending of $50 and above, the cost of the carriers will be waived. We give $0.50 rebate (min. $10 purchase) if you bring your own containers/carriers for your whole purchase (using zero disposable paper/plastic bags)! Return us our washed and clean cookie containers for a $0.30 rebate!
What is the best time to come in for the widest variety of items?
We encourage you to come by on weekdays if possible. On weekdays, 8.30am – 12pm is usually the best time to come for the widest selection. On weekends, 8.30am – 11am is a safe bet to come for the widest selection. Check out our baking schedule below!

What changes have you made in light of the COVID-19 situation?
The safety and health of our customers is our utmost priority!
On hygiene and cleanliness, all customers are encouraged to sanitize their hands before entry. Each tray is cleaned thoroughly with food-grade sanitiser before being replaced on the shelf; and we also disinfect counters and surfaces more frequently.
Additionally, we will do not encourage customers to put items back on the shelf after picking them up. Please be certain of your purchase before taking any food items. We accept all payment modes but during this period, contactless payment mode is certainly preferred.
We are trying our best to create a safe environment for our beloved customers; we also understand that this is a difficult and trying period for all. Therefore, we welcome and will greatly appreciate any feedback for us to create a better experience for all.
PRODUCTS
What is the best way to keep your product fresh? Do I need to refrigerate them? How do I re-heat them?
As our bakes contain no preservatives and are made with only the finest natural ingredients, it is best to keep them fresh by storing in the refrigerator immediately in well-sealed packaging. If keeping for longer than 3 days, they are best to be frozen (bring to the fridge to thaw the night before actual consumption day).
To reheat, toast in the oven/toaster/air-fryer at 180-220°C for 5-10min, turn off the oven and let it sit for another 5 mins inside. Please note that ideal reheating time/temperature will vary based on the oven/appliance, so should be carefully monitored as it heats! See below for product-specific guidelines – longer is okay for sandwiches but not for flaky pastry.
Hot cross buns, brioche buns, and brioche loaves should go directly into the fridge, unless they are to be consumed on the next one to two days of purchase. You can warm them up in the oven for about 5 minutes for a delicious fluffy texture.
Burnt cheesecake can be kept for a week in the freezer. We recommend freezing (rather than refrigerating) as some fridges are not cold enough. You can remove the cheesecake from the freezer 1-2 hours before consumption (depending on how molten you like it!)
Pastries (croissants, cruffins, danishes) are always best consumed on the day of purchase. If you need to keep them overnight, please put them in the fridge. To consume, heat in the oven for a few minutes, then leave it in for another 5 minutes to crisp up again.
Scones, muffins, and croque monsieurs/sandwiches can be kept in the fridge in a sealed plastic bag (if not consumed on day 1) for up to a week. Reheat in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese achieves your desired meltiness!
