Six years after shuttering its original locations, the iconic Parisian patisserie Ladurée has made a permanent comeback in Singapore, opening a new flagship boutique at Basement 1 of Takashimaya Shopping Centre on May 13, 2026. The return marks the end of a half-decade absence from the city’s dessert scene, following a teaser pop-up at Ion Orchard in November 2025 and the closure of its previous Takashimaya outpost and takeaway counter in 2020.
Founded in Paris in 1862, Ladurée built its global reputation on the double-shell macaron, evolving into a luxury pastry and gifting brand with boutiques worldwide. The new 10-seat boutique in Ngee Ann City’s department store signals a deliberate re-entry, aiming to reclaim its foothold along Orchard Road with an expanded menu and a fresh aesthetic.
Macarons Remain the Stars
The boutique’s signature macarons are back in full force, with familiar flavors including vanilla, pistachio, rose, raspberry, salted caramel, coffee, lemon, orange blossom, passion fruit, and Marie-Antoinette Tea. Newer additions like Matcha and the social media-favorite Dubai Chocolate join the lineup, priced at $4.20 each. For gifting, boxes are available in six-piece ($25), 12-piece ($46), 40-piece ($148), and 54-piece ($188) configurations, with seasonal and limited-edition flavors rotating throughout the year.
Introducing Eugénie: A Gluten-Free Biscuit
Ladurée is also spotlighting Eugénie, a crisp gluten-free biscuit with a soft center, encased in a thin chocolate shell. Introduced in 2023 by executive pastry chef Julien Alvarez, the treat comes in flavors like pistachio, rose, hazelnut, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Three new Singapore-exclusive flavors—coconut, matcha, and peanut—are making their debut at $4 each. Eugénie is also sold in six-piece ($23.80), 12-piece ($45), and 18-piece ($66.80) boxes.
Specialty Drinks and Soft Serve
The boutique offers a full beverage menu, featuring specialty coffee made with 100% Arabica beans that carry notes of dark chocolate, toffee, and almond butter. Options range from espresso ($3.80) and long black ($5.80) to lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites ($7). For non-coffee drinkers, the signature hot chocolate ($9.80) uses 67% Valrhona chocolate and French milk. The tea selection, priced at $6.80 each, includes Marie-Antoinette (rose, citrus, honey), Mélange Ladurée (citrus, florals, spice, vanilla), and Roi Soleil (bergamot, rhubarb, caramel). Soft serve is also available in vanilla or ceremonial-grade Kyoto matcha starting at $8.80.
Pastel Merchandise and Location Details
The boutique stocks a range of branded merchandise, all in Ladurée’s signature mint-green and blush-pink palette. Items include tote bags ($25 to $55), keyrings ($68), notebooks ($23), pouches ($25), travel mugs ($28), and thermos bottles ($38).
Ladurée Singapore is located at B1-13/13A Takashimaya Shopping Centre, open daily from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with last orders at 9 p.m.
Broader Impact and Next Steps
The flagship’s reopening reaffirms Orchard Road’s status as a premier destination for luxury confectionery, especially as international brands vie for space in Singapore’s competitive dessert market. With a focus on both heritage products and new offerings like gluten-free biscuits, Ladurée aims to attract both loyal fans and a new generation of customers.
