Dotted all over KL are bakeries that serve up both the classic and the creative, from traditional loaves to experimental sourdough bakes to completely wacky creations that you\u2019ve never heard of \u2014 but definitely need to try. You\u2019d be hard-pressed to name the single best bakery in KL when there are so many great establishments, with independent artisanal bakers sitting side-by-side with the city\u2019s most beloved chains.

\nFor everyday favourites:<\/b> Hogan Bakery
\n<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/a>Hogan is a bakery that caters to everyone in your family, from those who are a bit more straight-laced (we\u2019re thinking European cranberry walnut bread) to those who like to break the rules (that would be purple glutinous rice bun, and yes, the rice is inside the bun). The Hogan menu is studded with outlandish creations like the Potatie Snowman, a mantou-style bun filled with sweet potato, or the Cheesy Spring Onion Bread. But where they really shine is in their great selection of bagels. They\u2019re both visually stunning and actually delicious \u2014 try the Black Sesame, with a ring of black sesame inside, or the gooey Chocolate Bagel, or push the boat out and get the Roselle Cream Cheese Bagel.<\/span><\/p>\n

For everything sourdough:<\/b> Yin\u2019s Sourdough Bakery
\n<\/b>
\n<\/a>Sourdough has taken KL by storm, thanks in no small part to this Penang-born bakery. Yin\u2019s Sourdough Bakery started off slinging loaves of sourdough and is now a full-blown cafe with a menu full of delicious hot dishes and kefir smoothies. If you need a sourdough fix, you\u2019ll find Yin\u2019s famous bread popping up in their breakfast menu and sandwiches, or you can even order a straight-up plate of sliced sourdough.<\/span><\/p>\n

For brownie-cookie hybrids:<\/b> September Bakes
\n<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/a>There are some things in life you don\u2019t know you need until you encounter them. Like a Brookie, the crackly-edged, pillowy-centred brownie-cookie hybrid that September Bakes has brought to KL. The Brookie takes the very best elements of both desserts: the intense \u201cchocolate-ness\u201d of a brownie, the moreish chew of a cookie, and combines them into one inescapably delicious creation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two couverture chocolate Brookie halves are sandwiched together with one of six different flavoured fillings: chocolate for the purists, or peanut butter, raspberry, peppermint, coconut, or, our favourite, salted caramel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/b> from RM8\u201380
\nOnly available via septemberbakes.com<\/a> and GrabFood<\/p>\n

For every kind of pie:<\/strong> A Pie Thing
\n<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/a>At A Pie Thing, you could conceivably eat a full meal composed entirely of pies, though we would caution you to save a lot of stomach space for dessert. They have the classic pie fillings for the purists: cheesy chicken, chunky steak and pulled lamb. Are you a bit more adventurous? <\/span>Try the BBQ Chicken Mac and Cheese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

Pies come plain or topped with mushy peas, mash and gravy. And seriously, don\u2019t leave without dessert. Their signature dessert pie is The Elvis, a concoction of peanut butter, banana and dark chocolate that pays tribute to The King\u2019s favourite flavour combo. The dark horse here is really the Smores pie though, a crisp, sweet shell filled with melty, oozing chocolate (your choice of milk or dark) and topped with a layer of torched mini marshmallows.<\/span><\/p>\n

For creative croissants:<\/b> HONZU
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/a>If you\u2019ve ever thought the world of croissants needed a bit of innovation, HONZU is the place for you. The bakery specialises in \u2018creative croissants\u2019, using the flaky, buttery pastries as a base for all kinds of wild and wacky flavours. Some are expected: the dark chocolate croissant is topped in chocolate and crushed nuts, the snowy custard croissant is filled with a light, sweet custard. Then there are the more unusual menu items: garlic cream croissant, anyone? How about a tom yam cheese croissant, or a spicy matcha croissant? If you can dream it, HONZU can put it on a croissant.

For high-end brownies:<\/b> Brownies Bar by The Accidental Bakers
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/a>When you need an intense hit of chocolate, Brownies Bar should be your first port of call. These aren\u2019t your average pedestrian brownies; these are brownies for grown-ups. For an introduction to the brand, try their signature dark chocolate and get accustomed to the depth of chocolatey flavour. The Seasalt Almond brownies provide extra crunch and for a real flavour bomb, try the Durian Brownies and <\/span>Cempedak Blondies<\/span>, with real fruit pulp swirled into the batter. Cookie lovers, Brownies Bar has your back with chunky chocolate-laden bites. Grab a handful. <\/span>

For updated classics:<\/strong> Ben\u2019s Bake Shop
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/a>When that carb craving hits, there\u2019s nowhere better to satisfy it than Ben\u2019s Bake Shop. They do sweet, savoury and celebration baked goods, from ciabatta to pizza by the slice, to croissants, brioches and Danish pastries. If you\u2019re after a special loaf, you\u2019ll find it here: classic sandwich loaves, sourdough, baguettes, brioche burger buns, focaccia and even Turkish flatbread. Our favourite? The sweet side of the menu \u2014 it\u2019s very hard to look past their classic almond croissant, topped with flaked nuts and powdered sugar, or their coconut caramel Danish.<\/p>\n
