Located on the second floor of the new Pop Mart store, Pop Bakery is a cafe concept selling character-themed desserts, including Twinkle Twinkle coconut mousse, Pucky xiao long bao panna cotta and more.

Pop Bakery boasts a clean aesthetic with light beige cushioned seats and Pop Mart installations throughout the space, including Molly-themed fixtures.
There's also a shelf housing packaged Pop Mart-themed treats, such as the Labubu Butter Cookies (S$32), which includes an assortment of butter, chocolate and coconut cookies shaped after the adorable mascot, as well as the Crybaby Strawberry White Chocolate (S$18).

On the dessert front, diners can look forward to Singapore-exclusive treats as well as signature items from Pop Bakery's China store.
The Singapore-exclusive Twinkle Twinkle Coconut Mousse (S$18) comes in two variations: a tangy version with pineapple filling and passionfruit popping boba, as well as a sweet version with boba and red bean filling.
Both are encased in an edible coconut shell that's made out of chocolate.

Another Singapore exclusive is the Pucky Xiao Long Bao Dessert (S$18), which sports soya milk panna cotta and ice cream, paired with biscuit sticks as "chopsticks" and milk chocolate dipping sauce.
Be sure to also try the Twinkle Twinkle Dreamy Banana Pastry (S$16), which is rich with dark chocolate whipped ganache and caramelised banana, as well as the Twinkle Twinkle Twin Popsicles (S$15).

On why Pop Mart decided to launch its first Southeast Asian Pop Bakery in Singapore, Zhang Xiaoyang, head of Pop Bakery, said: "[Singapore] is an important hub in the Asia-Pacific region and one of the most international markets in Southeast Asia. As a major travel destination, Singapore also gives us the opportunity to connect not only with local consumers, but with visitors from around the world.
"It was our first market in Southeast Asia, which we entered in 2021, and over the years, we have built a strong connection with local and regional fans. As we mark our sixth anniversary here this year, the launch of the first SEA Pop Bakery reinforces our long-term commitment to bringing immersive experiences that spark passion and bring joy among consumers of various demographics."
