Bali-based bakery Starter Lab is opening its first overseas branch in Singapore.

Located at 721 Havelock Road, Singapore’s Starter Lab will be able to host up to 35 people around a communal table and bars, offering take-away coffee and bread.

Its menu is expected to feature seven types of sourdough loaves each day, and flavours such as Rosemary Lemon and Sea Salt Sourdough, Garlic Confit & Parmesan, as well as Salted Egg & Curry Leaf.

There will also be sandwiches and pastries on the menu, banana bread, scones and cookies.

Starter Lab has already launched pop-ups in Singapore, including at Camp Kilo Charcoal Club.

Founded by Emerson Manibo, who worked at NYC’s three Michelin-starred restaurant Per Se, Della Fattoria and Tartine Bakery, Starter Lab is famous for its American-style sourdough bread.
