Flor Patisserie

This is my second time ordering a birthday cake with a custom message on the cake for my significant other from Flor. The cake was great as usual, however, I was really disappointed that they made a mistake on the word plate. Essentially, I paid for a product that I did not order. They could only apologise for the mistake however they did not do any form of service recovery to restore my confidence in ordering from them next time. Truth is, there are many brilliant bakers in Singapore but what sets them apart is how good their customer service is, Flor unfortunately falls short in this aspect.

I first heard of Flor Patisserie from a friend who was raving about their cakes. Well, am pleasantly surprised to find that they have an outlet on East Coast Rd, a stone's throw from my house. Today, I have the opportunity to check it out. Their Japanese-style cakes is reminiscence of the Japanese bakeries I visited in Japan, and quite similar to Chateraise. And it's rather pricey ie. be prepared to fork out S$8-13 for a slice of cake, which I have no doubt is excellent. Since I am watching my carbs count and I do not have a sweet tooth, I didn't want to walk out of Flor empty-handed after all those rave reviews. So I picked up the Tofu Passionfruit Chiffon Cake, their simplest and most affordable tea cake. Well, it was not much to look at but it is well-executed that I finished half the delectable unique chiffon cake at one-go (so much for carbs count!). It's not too sweet with a tinge of sourness from the passionfruit and a bit of crunch for the seeds. Given Flor's proximity, I'd definitely pick up this cake for my guests in future. Finally, I like to comment the patisserie for her green efforts by implementing a no-plastics practice. Please always remember to bring your own bag!

Strawberry shortcake and cold brew! Cake was pretty good but wouldn’t come back specially for it. Love their plates tho. Cold brew is more on the darker and bitter side so not all might enjoy. Staff was really nice and helped to shift the table to a shadier side as it was really hot that day. Total was $19.89. 🥲
