They have this April promotion of all cupcakes at $2.50 and since everybody is saying that their dessert rocks, I decide to splurge a little and try the cream cheese and carrot cake.
Quite addictive actually, the cream cheese whipped nicely on top with a tangy kick to it and a snug slice of lemon lying on top.
The carrot cake was similar to other carrot cakes, with just the right amount of sweetness and its totally wholesome.
I didnt experience poor service though. The way they box it up and put it it that cute( but huge) plastic bag is definately cool.And that may just justify the $2.50 price for such a miniscule cupcake.

Seems like many of others experience is pretty similar to mine.
i went to bakerzin at paragon one weekday afternoon and man it was really pretty crowded.
their food are nice but its really the services they have to buck up with.
Firstly, it took the staff very long to get us the menus when we requested for it. which means, when we were sitted, they did not even gave us the menu.
Secondly, it also took pretty long for us to get the waitress attention to take our order.
Thirdly, food were served without utensils. when requested, the staff acknowledge but continue to do other things. so we had to ask another staff to get us the utensils but she got us the wrong one, something like fork for soup?
frankly speaking, pretty terrible services but nice food. think ill just have to choose another outlet next time

This outlet is very crowded at all times these days and their service is very slow from taking orders to serving to even paying bills.
I have been there 3x, unsatisfactory still. Having to go there cause my gf are working nearby. During lunch hours, it's super packed with people, the food take longer then usual to arrive, when asked for water, got to remind 2times before the ice water comes to us. One thing about the coffee, when Im there the 1st 2times, it's just warm not hot coffee by the time I finished my cake, it's already turn cold.
The last and final time Im there, was just last month and I tell my gf not to eat there anymore. Still it's slow service, no ice water but this time, the coffee is HOT.
Their price is x compared to other eating places for the similiar food. I decide to go somewhere else to try then going back to this outlet.
Think it's just this outlet that's having such failing rating, not all Bakerzin's outlet.

It's my first time eating at Bakerzin. I had a hearty dinner, then my friends has craving for sweet stuff. We ordered their Classics - warm chocolate cake, baked apple tart and profiteroles.
The servings are BIG. But we did manage to finished them all.
I had the Profiteroles. I thought it will be something that I had in Holland - Soft warm puff. But I was wrong. Its HARD COLD PUFF with not too bad Vanilla Ice Cream. Too much almond though.
Their services a bit slow. They did not served us any water, until our 2nd request and also when our orders were served.
Not sure if I will go back there to try other things. The main menu photos looks good though. :p

Mushroom and steak sandwich. The mushroom looked a bit erm.... wormy but the sauce for the mushroom was flavorful and real tasty though the cut of the steak was not so good though the crispy bread was totally awesome.
Chicken dumpling soup. Though it doesn't taste really that nice but it was the best among the soups that we ordered that day. Soup made of Cordyceps (I guessed) and other herbs together with dumplings with chicken meat filing. Chicken meat was plain in flavor together with the soup that was also plain in flavor summarizes into ... oh well, you got the idea. Its a tad ex too... being $5 for a small bowl with 2 dumplings.
Pasta dishes were nice and rated higher than average in comparison to those I've eaten. But there's nothing special worthed a mention cept that the amount of garlic in their cream-sauce types of pasta was a huge heap.
Flaky pizza. Husband commented that the crust of the pizza taste and feels like curry puff skin. (Thats why its called flaky pizza ba) He didn't like the pizza's crust but finds the filing very nice. I didn't had a taste of it but it seems like the dressing of the salad was great enough to make my husband eat the greens though he hates to eat vegetables.
Desserts were the best of the lot. We were having a headache trying to choose what to order.
I would recommend this Warm chocolate cake to people but provided you like the combination of dark chocolate and orange. The portion was big though compared to its creme brulee etc but one can gag from eating so much dark chocolate cake at once. The orange slice and vanilla ice cream seems to be there to lessen this effect. I was oohhing and ahhing when I ate this and they wanted to box me in the head. Lolx...

Bakerzin is a well-known name in the local desserts scenes. Touted for their pastries and desserts, Bakerzin started in 1998 and has since open 4 outlets in our island. Dinner was at the branch at Paragon, the place was rather small but it was packed to the house.
The desserts are all available at the counter, not found in their menus. So you’ll have to come to the counter and make your picks.
Assam Prawns with linguini ($14.80)
The owner chef Daniel paired up our local favourites Assam prawns with linguini to create a marriage between east and west. The overall taste of the fusion dish was not too bad.
Braised Pork Belly with Japanese rice ($13.80)
This was the fatal mistake of the night. At $13.80 for like six pieces of braised pork belly, the dish is clearly a rip-off. Gods know what my friend was thinking when he ordered this dish. And yes he didn’t finish the dish.
Aglio olio spaghetti with ham & bacon ($11.80)
Aglio olio spaghetti sauteed with olive oil, garlic, chili padi. The simple dish was not up to the mark, for a start its not hot enough with the chili padi. There wasn’t much texture in the spaghetti and I struggled to finish off the dish basically sums up everything.
Ham, bacon & mushroom flaky pizza ($12.80)
With popular ingredients like ham, bacon and mushroom, I guess nothing can go wrong with the Pizza. Mozzarella cheese spread on thin crispy pizza and the serving is pretty decent.
Warm Chocolate lava cake with scoop of ice cream
Complimentary dessert from using Citibank credit card, with spendings above $50. A dip into the warm chocolate lava cake, all the chocolate came rushing out like a volcano. Coupled with the cold vanilla ice-cream, its a delighful combination
For desserts, we also had Sumatra, which is a combination of dark chocolate & white chocolate mousse with Sumatra coffee. And a slice of the cookies & cream cheesecake. Both are $6.50. Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos because my dear friends actually ordered the two cakes while waiting for me.
Total bill was $99.57 for 4 person. We spent a large portion on drinks, around $20 bucks for three drinks, the violet lime ($5.80), ice hazelnut blend ($6.80), and ice latte ($6.80). I always do not like ordering drinks from restaurants as they tend to mark up the price by a very significant amount. And Bakerzin does not serves ice-water.
The experience at Bakerzin was flat, I was quite stunned by the bill when it arrived given the quality of food we had. To be fair the main course isn’t that expensive going in the range of 10s. But the quality of the mains really leave no rooms for desire.
The desserts are all in the $6-$10 repertoire. And i must say they are excellent, if you were to ask me to go back Bakerzin for a meal, i’ll leave a flat no. But if you ask me back for desserts, no problems there.

I admit I was drawn to this cafe due to its unique name - Bakerzin. After surfing their website, it made me more determined than ever to give it a try. Thus, I dragged 5 other friends down with me to their Paragon branch for dinner!
Ok firstly we had a hard time finding the place. I had to call up Bakerzin to get directions from a staff working there. After reaching the place, I found myself disappointed with the small space of the restaurant!
They had 2 parts - An interior and exterior dining area. The interior area had only about 7 small round tables that could sit maximum of 4 people. On the outside, they cramped around 10 or so rectangular tables.
We had to join 3 tables together for the 6 of us. Menu was given to us promptly after we were seated. I observed that there were only a few waiters on duty despite the heavy traffic of customers!
Menu was not too bad, we could choose from pasta, pizzas, sandwhiches or appetisers.
We ordered:
- spaghetti with meatballs
- linguini in mushroom cream sauce
- macaroons
- fruit flavoured sodas
FIRST MISTAKE: They do not serve ice water!!!
I detests restaurants that do not serve ice water to their customers. This is an underhand way to make us order drinks from their menu!
SECOND MISTAKE: Unfriendly Service
While waiting for our food, my friends & I went to their cake display to choose our cakes for desserts. There was only ONE waiter inside the cake counter while there were 2 groups of customers choosing cakes.
The waiter was not paying attention to us. He was inside cleaning some utensils, treating us like we're invisible!
After we managed to get his attention, we ordered our cakes by pointing to him. He took what we wanted and put it on a plate after which he placed the plate on the cake display AND TURNED TO ATTEND TO OTHER CUSTOMERS.
Ugh!!! It was like leaving us hanging there!!! My friends & I were so puzzled on what to do next.. so I stretched out my hand wanting to take the plate of cakes back to our table.
However, the waiter turned to me and took the plate away from me saying "No no, we will serve it to you!". I was so embarrased after she said that! After all, it was my first time there so I did not know their service patterns.
The food was average, the cream sauce pasta was too creamy that my friends had a hard time finishing it. The meatball spaghetti I had was tasty enough to pass but not fantastic.
On the whole, I have nothing to rave about this Bakerzin branch. I would like to try their desserts in another branch though!
PS. We even took about 15mins or so to foot the bill because they were seriously short of staff!
My advice: This branch is good for a cuppa tea/coffee and some cakes. Big groups should avoid this branch as it is cramp and not suitable for group meals! :)
