Dilemma bakehouse was founded by the same creative team from Catch 122. Not only do we share the same kitchen, we also share the same passion and philosophy.

Everything is made fresh, in-house, with great local ingredients. Expect flavours to change often because we make our pastries, entremets, tarts, and croissants based on what’s fresh in season. Dilemma is located inside Catch 122, you will face it as soon as you walk in. Check the display cases for our daily creations.

Our team is always creating something pretty and tasty!
