I'd like to commend the cashier staff. Her name seemed to be Nazrinah, though I couldn't be completely sure as her badge was faded. I truly appreciated her professionalism. (Visited on 13 May 2025)

☕️ We ordered Polar curry puffs, eclairs & a log of butter cake for tea time recently via Grab Delivery from the Mt Alveria Hospital's Polar Puffs outlet.
️ The cakes and savoury pastries were, as usual, delicious and tasty. ✳️ Polar Puffs remains an all-time favourite and reliable bakery for me, offering good quality bakes that I can count on.

My memories
-----------------
Did you know that Polar Cafe's original shop was at High Street? In the early 1970s, my Peranakan father took me there a few times. I was very small then, maybe only 5 or 6 years old, so I only have a faint memory of the cafe.
♀️ It was many years later that I realised that was the original Polar Cafe of High Street.

The history / memories of Polar Puffs Cafe at High Street.
High Street / Singapore (1950s till 1970s).
*******************************************
☕ My late father used to take me to Polar Cafe at 51 High Street in the early 1970s. I have faint but lovely memories of the cafe. I do remember eating the curry puffs and their famed sugar rolls.
● At the old Polar Cafe at High Street in the distant past, I distinctly recall climbing a short flight of steps to the second floor and sitting at a small square table next to an open window with a view of the nearby Singapore River. I still remember the white, large round lamp hanging above us, and the small white table where we sat.
● When seated, I barely reached the height of the table. At some point, I got down from the chair and inched my way gingerly towards the open windows to get a better view of the surroundings. I recall clearly seeing a thin sliver of the Singapore River and at that time, I thought to myself, "wah, there is a river here." I love viewing canals and streams, you see.
● Because there were not many tall buildings in those days, I was able to view the Singapore River from my vantage point on the 2nd floor of the cafe.
That is the only memory I have of Polar Cafe. There were some 1960s-style rattan or wicker chairs on the first floor. I was only about 5 to 7 years old. That is all I can remember.

Relatively chill place where you can get their nostalgic cake rolls or puff pastries. Love the warmn
A relatively chill place where you can get their nostalgic cake rolls or puff pastries. I always love the warmth and crunchy texture of the puff pastries, and their sugar roll, coffee peanut roll, and ondeh ondeh rolls remind me of childhood! The place is usually crowded, but there are tables and seats available for you to enjoy your cake and snacks. The staff are pretty alright and accommodating; you just have to be clear with your order, otherwise, they might get confused. They also have a chilled section with soups, salads, and sandwiches for the health-conscious, as it's located in a hospital.

The staff were friendly and polite. The puffs were warm and tasty. However, I was a little disappointed with the chicken pie; it didn't taste as nice as before.
