Don Pie flagship: 39 Tyrwhitt Road, Jalan Besar

The Tyrwhitt Road restaurant is where Don Pie’s pies are made. The kitchen, co-founded by Don Pie founder Chef Don Lim, bakes them here under the DonChef name, in small batches in deck ovens, and originaldon.com explains why deck ovens and resting time matter. It is also the one Don Pie shop where you can sit down, order crab bee hoon and see the whole menu.

What can you buy at DonChef’s flagship?

The flagship carries the full menu: every pie on the printed menu, cakes such as kueh lapis and cheesecake, and the crab and seafood dishes the restaurant is also known for. Don Pie’s February 2026 printed menu lists:

Prices are from the printed menu, as of October 2026. Dine-in carries service charge and tax, and online or delivery prices can differ. Check the official site before you rely on a figure.

When is the best time to go?

For takeaway pies, weekday mornings are the calm option: the shop opens at 10am. Evenings on Friday and Saturday run later, to 10.30pm, which suits a dinner. If you want whole pies at a set time, pre-order for pickup rather than hoping they are on the counter.

Reviewers have noted that the dining room is small, so book for dine-in at weekends. For the dine-in side, including pets and table bookings, see donpies.com’s Tyrwhitt Road page.

Is the flagship the right shop for a big order?

The flagship is the natural pickup point for large orders, because it is where the pies are baked and it has parking nearby. Don Pie takes bulk orders from 100 pieces upward. Plan ahead with our bulk and corporate guide, and use the order planner to set the date you need to order by.

Who is this outlet closest to?

Tyrwhitt Road suits buyers in Jalan Besar, Lavender, Little India, Farrer Park, Bendemeer, Kallang, Geylang and the edge of the city.
