One classic sweet treat that we can never get enough of—not to mention in Singapore’s unforgiving heat—is ice cream.

There are a plethora of places in Singapore that sell great ice cream whether it is the artisanal kind or the commercial kind, but some places stand out more than others. Here is a list of 23 ice cream shops in Singapore to help you get the very best ice cream when those sugar cravings hit you.

AQUA S

Aqua S—Sydney’s famous soft serve shop—is opening in Singapore. For all the dessert fans out there with an incurable sweet tooth, be prepared to get the sugar rush of your lifetime.

Like their outlet in Sydney, Singapore’s Aqua S will offer ever-changing flavours. Their soft serve flavours will rotate on the 1st and 16th of every month, so you may look forward to something new and exciting every fortnight! Make sure to get their signature sea-salt flavour, inspired by Okinawa’s famous sea-salt ice cream, that’s a permanent item on their menu! Prices start from S$5.70 for a plain cone and an additional S$0.80 for each topping.

While exploring the Kampong Glam enclave on a hot, sunny afternoon, cool down and treat yourself to a refreshing scoop of Italian ice cream at aROMA, a new takeaway shop on Arab Street that serves up Gelato.

This humble gelato store features an alluring array of flavours that many might find usual in comparison to its other Italian ice cream counterparts. Be dazzled by the likes of their Chocolate Chili, Strawberry with Mint, Watermelon and Lemon with Basil—all of which happen to be heavy hitters among regulars.

The best part is, all their ice cream is made daily in-house using only fresh and natural ingredients.

The fabulous folks at aROMA pride themselves with only using the best and freshest ingredients to make their gelato—from fruits, nuts and herbs to the type of milk they use. Experimental as they may be in crafting their ice cream, they try to keep things subtle so as to allow the natural flavours of each respective ingredient to shine.

Beyond gelato in cones or cups, aROMA also has a variety of gelato sundaes available as part of their La Torta series as well as the Sorbetto Frappè—essentially an ice-blended beverage comprising of sorbet as a primary component.

Alternatively, you can also pair your gelato with coffee in an Affogato. Featuring a scoop of premium gelatos such as the classic vanilla or coconut, with a shot of espresso made with freshly roasted arabica-blend coffee beans, what you end up with is a sweet chilly treat that comes with a delightful hit of caffeine.
