Start at Sixth Avenue MRT Exit A
Sixth Avenue is a Downtown Line station on the Bukit Timah corridor. After the fare gates, choose Exit A, which serves Bukit Timah Road. Exit B is on the Dunearn Road side and connects through the station’s overhead bridge. If you have already reached Exit B, use the signed connection to get to the right side before following your walking map.
The station takes its name from the nearby road, while the station itself sits by the Fourth Avenue and Eng Neo Road junction. That is one reason a precise starting point helps. Set the route from the actual station exit and let the map show you which way to walk from there.
When you arrive by bus
Check both the stop and direction. The stop called Sixth Ave Stn is on Bukit Timah Road, by Exit A. Opp Sixth Ave Stn is on Dunearn Road, by Exit B. A route planner may give you the opposite stop for the return journey, so use the station’s signed link and check the stop number before you wait.
Choose the café address in your map
Search for the exact address or the full branch name, Baker & Cook Namly Estate. If the result shows 64 Namly Place and postal code 267208, you have the intended endpoint. Names such as Namly Avenue, Namly Crescent and Namly Place appear close together on a map, so check the last part of the street name before starting.
Select walking directions after choosing the address. Look at the route as a whole before you turn your attention to each instruction. You are moving from the station and the main road into the neighbourhood, so look for the transition onto the smaller streets. At the last turn, read the street sign and use the number to find the café.

A useful message to send
‘Meet at Baker & Cook Namly Estate, 64 Namly Place, at 10am’ is enough for someone coming directly. For someone joining the walk, use ‘Sixth Avenue MRT Exit A, Bukit Timah Road side’. Put the two messages in separate lines if members of a group will join at different points.

Make the walk comfortable
This is a neighbourhood approach on ordinary streets. Watch for driveway crossings, keep the group together at junctions and pause somewhere out of the way before consulting a phone. Give yourself extra time if the map assumes a faster pace than a young child or older companion is comfortable with.
If you are walking with a pushchair, wheelchair or someone who needs regular pauses, check the streets and crossings shown on your planned route. Station lifts can help with the first part. The quieter local streets have their own conditions, so the easiest route for a fast walker may differ from the easiest route for your group.
A plan for a sudden shower
Decide at the station whether a walk still suits everyone. If the café is the main purpose, a direct drop-off at the Namly Place address keeps the outing simple. If you want the walk itself, give the weather time to clear and then decide whether you have enough time left for the return.

Plan the café stop around the visit you want
If you are mainly meeting for coffee, choose a time with enough room for both the walk and the conversation. If you are picking up bread or pastries, check the branch’s hours and ask directly about the item you want. The café photo shows an example of a stop in Namly. The counter offering and available seats depend on the day.
Keep the official location page handy if you are planning an evening or holiday visit. It lists separate branches, so look for Namly Estate and compare the postal code before reading the hours. For a more detailed look at the bakery itself, see the linked branch guide below.
A short neighbourhood visit
Start together at Exit A, follow your pedestrian route to Namly Place and use the café as the stopping point. On the return, retrace your steps if that keeps the route familiar. The outing works even if you have time for one stop. If you are adding another place, make it a separate destination in the map and check the new walking route before leaving.

Get back to Sixth Avenue or continue by bus
Before leaving the café, set the map for the exact next place you need. Use Sixth Avenue MRT if you want the Downtown Line. If you plan to take a bus, use the stop name and road side the route planner gives you. Approaching the main corridor with that information already in hand is easier than deciding beside the road.
For a group with different plans, agree on the point where you will split up. One person can go straight back to the station while another takes a bus from the opposite side. If you are arranging a lift, send the Namly Place address again and agree on a safe, lawful place to meet the driver.
If you are building the walk into a longer Bukit Timah outing, leave some time between destinations. Two places can share a Bukit Timah address and still be an awkward walk apart. Check the full route at the café, then choose whether to walk, take the bus or go back to the MRT.
