Quick answer: Singapore’s gluten-free bread options go well beyond the sad sliced loaf. Six brands worth your time include The Whole Kitchen for artisan sourdough with real chew, TIANN’s for pandan kaya rolls that taste properly local, and Oh My Goodness for dairy-free bakes that deliver on social good. Supermarket picks like Waitrose and Schär keep your morning toast simple and steady.
Buying gluten-free bread can feel like you’re on the outside. These loaves flip that. Some you pick up alone from a quiet shopfront; others arrive frozen, no questions. You slice them thick, toast them till warm, and sit by the window with butter melting into a proper crumb. No compromise—just a good loaf for your own table.

The Whole Kitchen
The Whole Kitchen runs two proper shopfronts—one in Katong and one in the CBD—baking gluten-free sourdough that actually tears like bread should. Their Sourdough Boule and the 7 Seed Country Loaf lean on brown rice and buckwheat, with a nutty, hearty crumb that holds up to a thick spread of butter.
What makes the trip worth it is the freshness. The loaves are baked with premium natural ingredients and kept low in sugar, so you get that clean, honest bread taste. You will also spot their pizza bases, energy balls, and the Carrot Ginger Chai Cake if you are after something a little sweeter. Common Man Coffee Roasters carries their range too.
They suit the home cook who has missed a real sourdough routine. Pop by the Katong outlet at 11 East Coast Road, Odeon Building, #01-16, Singapore 428722, or call +65 8128 3562. Hours vary, so peek at their site before you go. thewholekitchen.com.sg
A sturdy sourdough built for a thick slab of butter and a quiet morning. In the Katong shop, you collect a loaf while it’s still warm—no one questions why you eat this way. The nutty crumb keeps its shape when you slice it thin for avocado, and you can face the front window seat, watching the street go by.
Oh My Goodness
Oh My Goodness is an online bakery that runs on a clear rule: no gluten, no dairy, no refined sugar. Their bakes show up frozen at your door, with the Lemon-Raspberry Loaf and pizza bases being the ones people tend to reorder. The loaf gets its moistness from unsweetened applesauce, almonds, and olive oil—clean, straightforward ingredients that do the heavy lifting.
The brand also partners with organisations for inclusive employment, so your bread money does a little extra good. You can find them on Fairprice Online, Amazon, Redmart, and Shopee, which means the restock is a few taps away. No physical shop, just an island-wide delivery network.
Busy parents, take note: stash a couple of these in the freezer and you have a no-fuss breakfast that does not taste like a compromise. ohmygoodness.co
For evenings when you don’t want to leave the house, a package of frozen Lemon-Raspberry Loaf lands at your doorstep, and suddenly a cup of tea feels like a proper date with yourself. The loaf stays moist from applesauce and olive oil—no apology, just a bright, indulgent slice.
TIANN’s
TIANN’s sits in Tiong Bahru, pairing a cafe with on-site baking that gives its gluten-free loaves and local-inspired bakes a just-baked warmth. The Farmer’s Loaf and Paleo Toasts are the everyday workhorses, but the real draw is the Pandan Kaya Rolls and Pandan Chiffon Cake—Singaporean flavours done gluten-free without tasting like a science experiment.
Everything is made without gluten or added sugars, and the nutrient-rich profile means you are not just eating empty carbs. Island-wide delivery runs Tuesday to Sunday from 9am, so you can skip the trip to Seng Poh Road if you prefer. The cafe itself is at 71 Seng Poh Road, #01-35, Singapore 160071. Reach them at +65 6222 1369 or WhatsApp +65 8876 1128. tianns.com.sg

While you are planning your pantry, our roundup of the Finest Tea Brands in Singapore might pair nicely with your new loaf.
Tiong Bahru is the kind of hood where you can spend a morning alone, browsing old bookshops, and then sink into a corner seat at TIANN’s with a Pandan Kaya Roll and no one rushing you. The roll is fragrant with pandan, the kaya gently sweet, and you’ll forget you are eating gluten-free altogether.
Waitrose
Waitrose is the British supermarket label you will find in the bread aisle of larger Cold Storage and CS Fresh outlets. The gluten-free loaves and rolls are built for consistency—a straightforward sandwich bread that toasts evenly and does not crumble into a mess by lunchtime.
It is the sort of loaf an expat picks up when they want a taste of home, or anyone who simply wants a reliable off-the-shelf option without hunting through a specialty store. Check the Cold Storage nearest you, as stock varies. waitrose.com
On a weeknight when you are too tired to think, you can walk into any Cold Storage and grab a Waitrose loaf off the shelf. It toasts evenly and holds together for a sandwich you can eat standing at your kitchen counter without crumbs scattering everywhere. A quiet, reliable companion.
Schär
Schär is the European gluten-free specialist that lands in Singapore via Cold Storage, with a range of loaves known for a light, airy crumb. If you prefer a thinner slice that lets your sandwich fillings do the talking, this is where you start. The brand has international recognition for gluten-free innovation, and it shows in the texture—no dense, brick-like slices here.
Available at larger Cold Storage and CS Fresh locations. For product details, head to their global site. schaer.com
If your favourite part of a sandwich is the middle, Schär’s thin slices let the fillings take centre stage. You can pick them up from the same Cold Storage run and feel a little lighter about lunch. The crumb is airy, never dense, so you don’t need to chomp through a brick to get to your egg salad.
Bud of Joy
Bud of Joy bakes gluten-free sourdough and wholegrain loaves online, using organic flours, filtered water, and Himalayan Rock Salt. The ingredient list is refreshingly short, which is exactly what the organic purist wants to see. One thing to note: their facility also processes wheat, so if your sensitivity is severe, weigh that carefully.
Ordering is done through their website with delivery across Singapore. It is a solid choice when organic certification and a clean label matter more than a quick supermarket run. budofjoy.com
If a sweet treat is also on your mind, our Finest Cookies in Singapore guide has a few gluten-free surprises tucked inside. None of these are sponsored placements. If you belong on this list, tell us what you do.
How to choose
Start by deciding how you want to buy. Fresh bakery loaves from The Whole Kitchen or TIANN’s give you that just-baked texture and work best for open-faced toppings or tearing straight into. If you value freezer stock and online convenience, Oh My Goodness and Bud of Joy deliver to your door. Supermarket brands like Waitrose and Schär sit in the middle—no fuss, grab and go.
Next, think about flavour profile. TIANN’s leans into local pandan and kaya notes, while The Whole Kitchen and Bud of Joy focus on sourdough and seeded loaves with more bite. Oh My Goodness goes the dairy-free cake route alongside breads. Check the ingredient list if you are avoiding more than gluten—Oh My Goodness skips dairy and refined sugar, and Bud of Joy goes organic, but the latter processes wheat on site.
Price-wise, artisanal freshly baked loaves understandably cost more than a supermarket import. Ask directly about loaf sizes and delivery fees before you commit; a $15 loaf that feeds you for four days might feel like a better deal than a smaller $9 one that is gone in two.

Both are stocked at larger Cold Storage and CS Fresh outlets across Singapore. Availability can vary by location, so it is worth calling ahead if you are making a special trip.
