The internationally coveted Dean & DeLuca brand has finally announced its Singapore opening date after months of hype over its imminent arrival.

Slated to open this June at #04-24 Orchard Central, the New York fine food purveyor will be bringing its signature café experience to Singapore, accompanied by a bakery and gourmet shop that offers artisanal epicurean delights sourced from around the world. 

Singapore's very own Dean & DeLuca aims to simulate the same heavenly gourmet shopping experience that most look forward to while in New York, with its mouthwatering smells, tempting cheese counter (made easy to navigate with its very own maître fromager) and impressive range of exotic herbs and spices. Additionally, Dean & DeLuca in Singapore promises to offer the delectable, laid-back atmosphere its cafe is known for, with freshly baked croissants, fine teas, as well as tasty preserves and cold cuts—all in one place.

What we're looking forward to most though, is having another go-to place for thoughtful gift ideas, both delicious and beautifully packaged. If you need something soon though—Mother's Day is coming up—check out Jones the Grocer and Pique Nique.
