Here's all you need to know about Leckerbaer Keong Saik
01.
Cultivating the hygge movement
It has been slightly over a year since Leckerbaer, a Copenhagen-based pastry shop made its first overseas debut in Singapore. Despite initial worries of launching amidst a pandemic right after last year’s Circuit Breaker, it’s proposition of living in Danish conviviality through tiny worlds of pleasant discoveries took off – especially for those in search of treats to uplift spirits of loved ones and friends.
02.
Search for a fitting home
While its Isetan Scotts branch remain the choice-spot for a quick pick-up of gifts or break from shopping, its regional partners at Caerus Holding have constantly been on the lookout for a space that captures the essence of Leckerbaer’s original store at Ryesgade Street. Upon availability of a shophouse unit at Keong Saik, the team immediately put plans into motion, eventually fashioning the space into its official Singapore flagship.
03.
A reflection of its original pastry shop
From outside, you can immediately get a sense of the cosiness within through its wooden-framed glass door and storefront window.
Inside, elements of wooden panels, light wood furniture, rattan walls and champagne coloured mirrors form a muted and inviting scheme that oozes Scandinavian charm. Sectioned into two pockets, the entrance holds a pastry counter where scores of bakes are displayed for picks, before making your way to the lounge area further back where daylight permeates through a perforated rattan ceiling, conducive for a cosy get-together away from the bustle.
