Useful takeaways from this story.

Second cafe at 9 Thomson Ridge seats up to 60, offers larger dining room and pet-friendly outdoor seating.

Four new sourdough varieties introduced on rotation: spelt & murasaki botan, Maple Country Nuts, Tomatillo Salsa Verde, and French Onion Soup.

Bakery’s founders and baking approach: Ian Ferdinand Chong (culinary graduate with overseas restaurant experience) and Ong Jingwen continue the naturally leavened, high-hydration sourdough focus.

# What opened and where Marymount Bakehouse has launched a second cafe at 9 Thomson Ridge (Upper Thomson). The new outlet complements the original bakehouse at 421 Race Course Road. The Upper Thomson site can seat up to 60 diners, with a larger dining room, bigger tables and an outdoor seating area that welcomes pets.

# What's different about the Upper Thomson outlet The new location increases dining capacity and offers a more spacious layout aimed at sit-down service. Outdoor seating is explicitly pet-friendly, which the original Race Course Road bakery does not emphasise in the provided details. The menu here broadens the bakery's sourdough-led offerings with both new loaves and outlet-exclusive savoury and sweet dishes.

# New breads and how they fit the bakery's style Marymount Bakehouse is known for naturally leavened, slow-fermented sourdough made at around 80% hydration. Four new sourdough loaves are being introduced on rotation at the Thomson outlet:

  • Whole grain spelt and murasaki botan loaf
  • Maple Country Nuts loaf
  • Tomatillo Salsa Verde loaf
  • French Onion Soup sourdough

These join existing house favourites such as Oolong Chocolate Chip, Wild Rocket Jalapeno Cheddar and the "Not A Croissant" sourdough-croissant hybrid.

# Outlet-exclusive dishes to expect The Upper Thomson menu extends beyond loaves into levain pies, pastas and plated mains that use sourdough in creative ways. Notable additions available only at this outlet:

  • Beef Tartare on Bone Marrow (S$30): served with crispy onions, sourdough crisps, shokupan, potato chips and arugula salad — listed as a new outlet-exclusive brunch item.
  • Brown Butter Boquerones & Sourdough-Crusted Seabass Pasta (S$28): a substantial plate topped with artisanal salted Spanish anchovies and lemon zest.
  • Tira"miso" dessert (S$19): uses sourdough ladyfingers with miso mascarpone and coffee caviar.

# Who's behind the bakery

# Practical details Addresses listed for the two locations:

  • 9 Thomson Ridge, Singapore 574637 (Upper Thomson)
  • 421 Race Course Road, Singapore 218668 (original bakery)

Loaves and some menu items are offered on a rotational basis. Prices for highlighted new items are provided in the menu descriptions above.

# Who might want to go Choose the Upper Thomson outlet if you want more seating, larger tables for groups, pet-friendly outdoor dining, or to try outlet-exclusive levain pies and mains that use sourdough beyond bread. If you seek the original Race Course Road vibe or specific rotating loaves, check availability since some items rotate between outlets.
