A quaint bakery-café has found its beginnings in the charming district of Joo Chiat – one that is known for its lovely select shops, local eateries and endless café options.
Located at 174 Joo Chiat, Bingo serves fresh and simple yet expertly crafted bakes. Stepping into the warm and cosy space feels almost like entering a familiar living room, while the outdoor pet-friendly seating has a vibe reminiscent of lounging at a friend's backyard.
And fun fact, most of the furniture and fixtures found in Bingo are handmade by friends of co-founder Jas. One standout feature for us is the ‘community’ table in the centre. Its design requires people to gather around, which in turn encourages interaction and new friendships. And this aligns with Bingo’s ultimate goal too: to be a space where communities can grow, gather, and support one another.
If your mornings typically start with something savoury, then opt for the humble chicken pie ($10.50). The pastry of the pie is exceptionally tasty, thanks to the infusion of chicken bone broth, which is done to minimise wastage. For a good mix of both sweet and salty, the Four Cheese with Honey ($6.50) loaf is your best bet. This is definitely our favourite too – it strikes the ideal balance with its blend of chewy dough infused with cheese and just the right amount of honey drizzle. Sweet tooths can go straight for their Iranian pistachio tart ($14), crafted from a solid tart shell, adorned with Iranian pistachio praline, pistachio frangipane, and topped off with indulgent vanilla and pistachio cream and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios.
To keep things exciting, Bingo’s menu is ever changing, so be sure to follow their Instagram to stay updated on their latest bakes.
