Quick answer
No. There is no Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh as of October 2026. Chef Don Lim, the founder of Don Pie, ran stalls in Toa Payoh North from about 2015 to 2021, which is why the area is still linked with his pies, but they have closed. The nearest current outlets are the AMK Hub kiosk, three MRT stops north on the North-South Line, and the Tyrwhitt Road flagship in Jalan Besar.
Plenty of people search for a Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh. Some remember buying Chef Don’s pies or crab bee hoon there; others see an old listing that still files his restaurant under Toa Payoh. Here is the plain answer, the reason behind the confusion, and the quickest ways to get the pies today.
Is there a Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh now?
No. As of October 2026, there is no Don Pie shop, kiosk or pickup point in Toa Payoh. The bakery’s current outlet list names five shops: Tyrwhitt Road in Jalan Besar, and kiosks at AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza. None is in Toa Payoh.
Why do people link Don Pie with Toa Payoh?
Toa Payoh is the comeback chapter of Chef Don Lim’s story. After founding Don Pie at Far East Square in 2000, he sold the Don Pie brand around 2014 to 2015. He then cooked crab bee hoon at a coffee shop stall, “Don Signature Crab”, at Blk 206 Toa Payoh North from about 2015. From late 2019 he sold his pies again as “Don’s Pie & Cake” at Toa Payoh North Food Centre II, 1008A Toa Payoh North.
In 2021, with his nephew, he opened the current restaurant at 39 Tyrwhitt Road, and the Toa Payoh stalls wound down. Food blogs from those years still rank in search results, and at least one review site still lists the restaurant under a Toa Payoh area. So the association is real history, not a current address. Today the Tyrwhitt Road kitchen he co-founded bakes for all five outlets under the DonChef name.

What is the nearest Don Pie shop to Toa Payoh?
From Toa Payoh, two outlets are realistic:
| Outlet | From Toa Payoh | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| AMK Hub kiosk | Three MRT stops north on the North-South Line (Toa Payoh to Braddell, Bishan, then Ang Mo Kio), then an underpass into the mall | MRT riders, quick takeaway, pies and crab dishes |
| Tyrwhitt Road flagship | A short drive south, or a bus and walk; parking in front and at Jalan Besar Stadium | Drivers, dine-in, the full menu, big pickups |
If you are in Toa Payoh Central, AMK Hub is usually the faster trip by train. If you are driving with a large order, Tyrwhitt Road’s parking makes it easier.

A note on Toa Payoh itself
Toa Payoh was one of Singapore’s first HDB new towns, built from the 1960s, and its HDB Hub and bus interchange still make it a transport crossroads for central Singapore. That is useful here: the North-South Line from Toa Payoh reaches Ang Mo Kio in three stops, and buses run south towards Jalan Besar.
If your search was really “pies near Toa Payoh” rather than Don Pie specifically, see pie shops by area for other options across the island.
