There’s a particular kind of joy in slicing into a towering dome of panettone studded with candied peel, or watching a dusting of powdered sugar snow gently off a dense stollen loaf as you cut the first slice.
Finding good panettone and stollen in Singapore used to mean a trip to a handful of Italian delis, but these days home-grown bakeries, gourmet grocers and even smokehouses take a turn at the festive classics. That also means quality and availability can swing wildly from one shop to the next, especially once December stock starts running low.
We spent time checking current listings, prices and pickup windows so you are not left disappointed close to Christmas. If you are planning a full festive spread, our guide to the Best Log Cakes In Singapore is a good companion read for rounding out your dessert table.
Below, we have picked seven spots to check out this year, along with a few pointers on choosing between a classic Italian panettone and a richer, spiced German stollen depending on what your gathering calls for.
Quick Picks: Panettone & Stollen In Singapore
- Best for classic Italian panettone: Da Paolo – a long-running Italian deli with a reliable, well-stocked panettone and pandoro range every year.
- Best for stollen lovers: Baker & Cook – one of the few bakeries with an actual German stollen on the shelf this year, alongside its classic panettone.
- Best for a smokehouse twist: Burnt Ends Bakery – a panettone with Burnt Ends’ own house character, best pre-ordered well ahead given limited stock.
- Best for variety and comparing brands: Our Choice Gourmet Grocery – dozens of imported panettone brands and sizes under one roof, handy for comparing prices.
- Best for something different: Jupiter 57 – a Borsari wine-soaked panettone for anyone bored of the usual candied fruit version.
1. Da Paolo

Best for: Classic Italian panettone and pandoro
Estimated price: From around $38, depending on size
Website: https://gastronomia-foodtoorder.dapaolo.com.sg/collections/panettone-pandoro
Location: Multiple Da Paolo Gastronomia outlets island-wide, including Dempsey and Greenwood Avenue
Da Paolo has been one of Singapore’s go-to names for Italian festive bakes for years, and its panettone and pandoro collection is usually one of the first to appear on shelves each November.
The panettone here leans traditional: a light, buttery crumb studded with candied orange and raisins, sold alongside the vanilla-dusted pandoro for anyone who prefers a plainer bake. Consistency is the main draw, since Da Paolo has sold these every festive season for a long time.
What to note: Da Paolo’s current range covers panettone and pandoro only. It does not carry stollen this year, so head to Baker & Cook below if that’s what you’re after.
2. Burnt Ends Bakery

Best for: A smokehouse-style gift box
Estimated price: $78
Website: https://bakery.burntends.com.sg/product/panettone/
Location: 20 Teck Lim Road, Singapore (Burnt Ends Bakery)
Burnt Ends built its name on fire and smoke rather than festive baking, so its panettone is a bit of a curiosity: a classic Italian base made with the same obsessive attention the restaurant applies to everything else.
It’s a pricier pick than most on this list, but that fits with Burnt Ends’ positioning as a gift box, not an everyday bake. If you’re shopping for someone who already has a few panettones at home and wants something with a story behind it, this is the one to bring.
What to note: At the time of writing, the panettone was listed as out of stock, with a pre-order window for pickup between 19 and 24 December. Order ahead of time to avoid missing out closer to Christmas.
3. Baker & Cook

Best for: Stollen lovers
Estimated price: $42++ for the Classic Panettone or Classic German Stollen
Website: https://bakerandcook.biz/collections/festive
Location: Multiple Baker & Cook outlets island-wide, including Dempsey Hill and Greenwood Avenue
Baker & Cook is one of the few BestLah has found actually selling a proper German stollen this year, dense with dried fruit, marzipan and a thick coat of powdered sugar, alongside its usual Classic Panettone.
Both bakes are made in-house rather than imported, which shows in the texture: the stollen holds together well for slicing days after purchase, and the panettone has a softer crumb than some of the imported Italian versions nearby on this list.
4. Our Choice Gourmet Grocery

Best for: Variety and comparing brands
Estimated price: Varies by brand and size, with dozens of panettone options to choose from
Website: https://www.ourchoice.com/collections/christmas-previews
Location: Online, with island-wide delivery
If you want to compare brands before committing, Our Choice Gourmet Grocery’s festive collection is the easiest way to do it in one sitting. The online grocer stocks panettone from a wide spread of Italian producers, including Antica Offelleria, Vergani, Filippi and Domori, in both classic and flavoured versions.
It’s a useful stop for anyone buying several panettones at once, whether for corporate gifting or a big family gathering, since the range runs from approachable supermarket-style boxes to higher-end artisanal bakes.
5. Culina Dempsey

Best for: One-stop gourmet shopping
Estimated price: Varies by brand
Website: https://www.culina.com/culina-market/singapore
Location: Block 9, Dempsey Road, Singapore
Culina’s Dempsey store has long been a destination for imported gourmet groceries, and its festive shelves typically bring in a rotating selection of panettone alongside its usual cheese, wine and charcuterie counters.
It suits anyone already planning a Dempsey grocery run, letting you pick up a panettone on the same trip as the rest of a festive spread.
What to note: Stock and specific brands change through the season, so call ahead or check in store if you have a particular producer in mind.
6. La Levain
Image Credit: BestLah (illustrative image)
Best for: French-style panettone
Estimated price: Check with the bakery directly
Website: https://www.instagram.com/lalevainsg
Location: Various neighbourhood outlets across Singapore
La Levain is better known for its French-leaning breads and pastries, which gives its panettone a slightly different character from the more traditional Italian versions elsewhere on this list, with a drier, more bread-forward crumb.
It’s a good option if you want something baked fresh in small batches, unlike an imported, shelf-stable version, though exact stock can shift closer to Christmas.
What to note: La Levain does not run a standalone e-commerce site for its festive bakes, so Instagram is currently the most reliable place to check current stock, pricing and pickup details.
7. Jupiter 57

Best for: A wine-soaked twist on the classic
Estimated price: Check with the showroom directly
Website: https://www.jupiter-57.com/products-services/confectioneries-food-delicacies/
Location: Jupiter 57 showroom, Singapore
Jupiter 57 brings in Borsari’s Rustico Recioto Wine Panettone, made with Recioto della Valpolicella, a sweet Italian red wine, folded through the dough. It’s a noticeably more grown-up, boozy take on the usual candied fruit version.
For readers who find standard panettone a little one-note after a few festive seasons, this is the easiest way in Singapore to try a genuinely different interpretation without resorting to an overseas order.
What We Looked At When Choosing These Panettone & Stollen Spots
- Current availability: We checked that each product is genuinely listed and in season for 2026, not last year’s stock listings.
- Authenticity of the bake: We favoured panettone and stollen with a properly aerated or dense crumb as appropriate, avoiding a dry, overly sweet imitation.
- Range and price spread: We looked for a mix of everyday options and splurge-worthy picks, so there is something at different budgets.
- Ease of ordering: We noted where pre-ordering is necessary, and flagged spots where stock can run out well before Christmas Day.
- Honest sourcing: Where a business did not clearly sell stollen or panettone as advertised, we either corrected the claim or left it off this list entirely.
How to Choose the Right Panettone or Stollen
- Decide on texture first: Panettone is light, airy and slightly sweet, closer to a fruited brioche, while stollen is denser, spiced and often has a marzipan core. If you are unsure which your guests prefer, panettone is the safer, more universally liked choice.
- Check the fruit and nut content: Classic versions use candied citrus peel and raisins, but chocolate chip, pistachio and other flavoured versions are increasingly common. Ask before buying if anyone in your household has a nut allergy.
- Factor in shelf life: A well-made panettone or stollen can keep well for one to two weeks if stored properly, which makes it a practical gift to buy slightly ahead of time rather than on Christmas Eve.
- Think about portion size: Panettone and stollen are usually sold in 500g to 1kg loaves, which is more than enough for a small gathering. For a bigger party, consider buying two smaller ones in different flavours instead of one large loaf.
Looking Specifically For Stollen?
Stollen is noticeably harder to find in Singapore than panettone most years, and 2026 is no exception. Of the spots on this list, Baker & Cook is the clearest, most reliably confirmed source of a proper German stollen this season.
A few other bakeries and hotels do occasionally run stollen as a limited seasonal item, so call ahead to any German or European-leaning bakery near you if Baker & Cook’s stock runs low. Not every panettone seller also carries stollen.
Final Thoughts
Panettone and stollen season in Singapore is short, and the good ones tend to disappear from shelves faster than people expect. Whichever of these spots you end up at, buying a little earlier than you think you need to is generally the safer bet.
Whether you end up with a classic Italian panettone, a dense German stollen, or one of each, there is something nice about a slice of festive bread that only really makes sense for a few weeks of the year.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between panettone and stollen?
Panettone is a light, airy Italian sweet bread studded with candied fruit and raisins, with a texture closer to a fruited brioche. Stollen is a denser German fruit bread, often with a marzipan core, dusted generously with powdered sugar and usually spiced more heavily than panettone.
When is the best time to buy panettone or stollen in Singapore?
Most bakeries and grocers start stocking panettone and stollen from early to mid-November, with availability generally peaking through December. Popular flavours and the better stollen options tend to sell out first, so buying in late November or early December is a safer bet than waiting until Christmas week.
How long does panettone or stollen keep once bought?
A well-made panettone or stollen typically keeps for one to two weeks when stored in a cool, dry place, and sometimes longer if it is vacuum sealed. Once sliced, it is best eaten within a few days or lightly toasted to refresh it.
Can I find stollen as easily as panettone in Singapore?
Not quite. Panettone is far more widely available across bakeries, delis and gourmet grocers here, while stollen remains a smaller, more limited seasonal item. Baker & Cook is currently one of the more reliable sources if stollen specifically is what you are after.
Are these panettone and stollen suitable for gifting?
Yes, most of the picks on this list come in presentable packaging suited to gifting, particularly the imported options from Our Choice Gourmet Grocery and the boxed Burnt Ends Bakery panettone. If gifting, check the pickup or delivery timeline in advance so it arrives while still fresh.
