[UPDATE: Aug 17]
Lavender Bakery's Ion Orchard outlet will be opening in early to mid-October, it said in response to AsiaOne's queries.
Its signature products such as its hanjuku cheesecake, caramel milk stick, bamboo charcoal toast and luo song (Russian bread) "will definitely be available", and any new menu items will be announced closer to its opening date, it added.
Back when the borders were still open, Singaporeans would flock to Lavender Bakery in Johor Bahru to dabao their fresh bakes.
Fortunately for their Singaporean fans, the bakery chain opened their first store at Jewel Changi Airport in 2019. And now, they are opening their second outlet at Ion Orchard.
On Aug 16, Facebook page Singapore Atrium Sale shared pictures of renovation hoarding at the mall's basement four level plastered with the bakery's logo.

While the official menu for the new outlet hasn't been released, we're already hoping it will include their signature items such as their fluffy bamboo charcoal bread and fragrant pandan chiffon cakes.

Lavender is also known to sell gorgeous cakes and desserts that you can get for special occasions.

Jewel Changi Airport's outlet also sells macarons in flavours including strawberry, matcha and earl grey — we hope they bring those in to the Ion Orchard outlet too!

We aren't sure if they'll be open in time for the mooncake festival but if they are, we hope that they will bring in their exclusive Lavender Lava Mooncakes.
And even if they aren't, you can still chiong and enjoy the early bird discount for the mooncakes from now till Aug 31.
Address: Ion Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn, B4-39 to 42, Singapore 238801
