For many of us, Bakerzin was one of our favourite spots to hang out with friends after school.
Sadly, the restaurant and bakery has shut all its outlets in Singapore after operating here for the past 22 years.

This reportedly includes its outlet at Gardens By The Bay, which was closed prematurely despite its lease running till mid-2021.
Information regarding the chain’s sudden closure, however, is scarce.
Vulcan Post reported that the restaurant chain had “issued notice of a creditor’s meeting for purpose of winding up” on Monday (5 Oct).

It moved to Millenia Walk in the early 2000s and subsequently expanded to United Square and Atrium@Orchard.
The restaurant later added dinner courses to its menu. After unveiling its new name, ‘Bakerzin’ in 2004, the brand expanded to 5 last-reported outlets:
It’s heartbreaking to see homegrown F&B establishments close during these difficult times.
We hope all workers affected by the closure will receive fair compensation.
Thanks for the memories, Bakerzin. You’ll be missed.
