Created by Genevieve Lee, runner-up of MasterChef Singapore 2018, Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery started out as a home-based business with an e-commerce website during the pandemic in 2020 and it quickly made waves with its Sourdough Bomboloni—combining sourdough and the Italian ‘bomb’ shaped doughnuts.

Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery is opening their first physical store at Park Mall with a soft launch on 3 July 2021. The official opening date will be on 8 July 2021.

Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery’s 900 sq ft store at Park Mall will have a takeaway kiosk, retail section and a production kitchen that can cater to both online and retail sales. Online pre-orders and group buys will continue for fixed boxes of 9 Sourbombes, with the option of delivery or collection in-store.

You can also choose to visit the store to pick your Sourdough Bomboloni and get some drinks including cold brew coffee, house-made kombucha and dairy-free tea lattes.

Expect a total of 9 sourbombe flavours, including 6 best-selling signatures and 3 limited edition flavours, which will be introduced quarterly based on seasonal ingredients.

The 6 signature sourbombe flavours include:

• Cinnabombe (plain)
  The OG Sourbombe in full sour glory, dusted with cinnamon and sugar.
• Blueberry & Lemon Thyme
  A fruity summer bombe of lemon cream, blueberry jam and fragrant thyme
• Lavender Lime Mascarpone
  Velvety mascarpone infused with aromatic lavender and bright citrus lime
• Basque Burnt Cheesecake
  Molten lava explosions of cream cheese and blue cheese, the ultimate umami bombe
• Hojicha Caramel
  Fragrant Houjicha cold-steeped in milk and sprinkled with toothsome caramel crunch
• Passionfruit & Caramelised Banana
  A tropical paradise of ambrosial passionfruit mixed with caramelised banana cream

The bakery also has plans to launch a new range of experimental sourdough bakes—including sourdough croissants—later this year. We cannot wait to try them soon!
