Best Bakeries in Melaka

One of the oldest bakeries in town since 1986, Italy Bakery has seven different branches within Melaka. With over 25 years of experience in the baking industry and as a Halal certified bakery, they are well-known for specialising in pastries and cakes, especially their Portuguese Egg Tart and Chicken Siew Pao that resembles the popular “siew pao” from Seremban. These are the two baked goods that are selling like hot cakes, given the crunchy crust and the similarity in taste to the original. Other than that, they do make delicious breads that are sold in loaves.

Formerly known as Handmade Bakery & Pastry House, Handmade Bakery Cafe is now a newly launched bakery and cafe that specialises in baking French and Japanese delicacies. From melonpan to raisin scones, colourful macarons to a whole orange cake, this bakery will never let you down with its handmade breads, pastries, cookies and cakes. As one of the new kids on the block, they are admired for their ingenious “Petite Series” such as mini croissants and cakes that are the perfect bite size for special occasions.

Founded in 2014, Eat at 18 is a cafe with a smart design concept, stretched out into three different seating sections - indoor, outdoor and a closed private area for special occasions. Pick anything from a loaf of seeded bread, dark chocolate brownies and truffles to British pastries, and especially their homemade “Organic Breads Series” that are baked daily using natural ingredients. With a hotel sitting above the cafe, consider a staycation with bed and bread under one roof, perhaps?
