With it being summer all-year-round, we tend to go out of the way just for some ice cream to cool down. Now you can find many ice cream parlours within residential estates, which means that these places are simply a short walk from your place and you’ll no longer have to perspire like crazy before getting your ice cream.

No matter which part of the island you live at, we’ve put together a list of ice cream shops to get your favourite treat so you can beat the Singapore heat without venturing too far from your ‘hood.

APIARY

Named after where beehives of honey bees are kept, Apiary is one place where your sweet-tooth will be satisfied. It has opened a second outlet in the heartlands of Ang Mo Kio at Jubilee Square.

Crowd favourites include the pastel-coloured Blue Milk which is a blend of creamy, sweet and salty notes, and the namesake The Apiary—honey ice cream with cacao nibs. Those hungry for more can opt for their Charcoal Waffles or Brioche to go with their ice cream.

KOOKS CREAMERY

This humble ice cream parlour in Serangoon got us all excited with homemade cookies that ooze out molten goodness, alongside a huge range of ice cream flavours that range from light and refreshing fruit sorbets to rich and creamy options.

Molten cookies are actually pretty novel and unique and you can find this kickass treat at Kooks Creamery. The cookies are crumbly on the outside; soft and chewy on the inside.

Served with a scoop of ice cream of choice, the good old combination of warm pastry and cold ice cream is one that always lifts our spirits.

MILK & HONEY GELATO

All Easties can relate: A typical trip to Bedok 85 Fengshan Market would most probably end at Milk & Honey Gelato for dessert. Must-try flavours include Salty Malty and of course, Milk & Honey.

Known for its locally-inspired ice cream flavours including Orh Haw (hawthorn berry), Orh-Bee-Good (pulut hitam) and In-Kueh-Dible (salted coconut & gula melaka), The Humble Scoop started with humble beginnings at the basement of Katong Shopping Centre.

The Humble Scoop has opened its second outlet in Kovan at Stars of Kovan. Following the opening of Naked Ice Cream in late June 2021, this is the second new ice cream shop to open in Kovan.

They pride themselves on locally inspired ice cream flavours and they do not use any colourings, flavourings or additive in the ice cream.

The new outlet is located at Stars of Kovan #01-02, just a short walk from Kovan MRT Station.

One of the ice cream flavours that you must try is the Orh Haw. Made of hawthorn berries, this flavour brought us back to the time where we used to secretly eat Haw Flakes in class. Both flavours were super refreshing—just what we needed in this sweltering heat.

The Guava Sour Plum was well-balanced, with sweet, salty and sour notes complementing each other, and tasted exactly like when we drench our guava slices with sng buay powder.

We all have our favourite aisle in the supermarket, whether it’s “bread, spreads & jam” or “condiments & dried goods”. For some of us, though, it isn’t an aisle. It’s a full-blown section. That’s right, the ice cream section.

We know, that place is dangerous territory — where temptations flow like no tomorrow and any remnants of self-control we thought we had fade into oblivion. But, some days just call for an ice cream treat.

If you’re always reaching for that same Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey tub or that box of Magnum sticks, we’re here to introduce you to a whole new world. We’ve compiled a list of 10 other excellent ice creams right under your nose that you’ve been sorely missing out on!

How about trying something new for a change? You’ll never know unless you try.

#1 DREYER’S COOKIES & CREAM

This one’s for all the Oreo fans. Cookies & Cream is no groundbreaking flavour but Dreyer’s has really nailed this classic. Made from fresh milk, the creamy vanilla ice cream is generously dotted with cookie bits for that delicious crunch.

Best eaten with a warm fudgy brownie. Mmm.

Available at Fairprice, Cold Storage, Marketplace and Giant.

#2 KING’S TEH TARIK POTONG ICE CREAM

If you didn’t have potong as a child, did you really grow up in Singapore? Potong is no fancy gelato but we’ll always have a soft spot for this nostalgic treat.

As faithful as we are to our OG flavours, such as red bean and black glutinous rice, this Teh Tarik Potong is really leading us astray. It’s has a pretty strong tea profile, making it really aromatic. We can almost hear the slushing of the teh with every bite.

Available at Fairprice and Cold Storage.

LA CREMARIA ALMOND PECAN PASSION ICE CREAM

We don’t know which sounds better — the fancy name of the brand or the ice cream flavour itself. Either way, this brainchild of Nestlé’s is really a stunner.

Pecan-flavoured ice cream is swirled with chocolate sauce and almond chunks, promising a nutty, chocolatey and creamy indulgence. Definitely a must-have for nutty fans.

Available at Giant and Sheng Shiong.

#4 MELONA ICE BAR

With its slightly tacky font and plain design, Melona Ice Bar looks pretty unassuming. But, just wait for the plot twist. Fruity, smooth and carried by a hint of sweetness, This potong lookalike is shockingly good.

It comes in an assortment of flavours, from melon to mango, so go on and take your pick!

Available at Fairprice and Cold Storage.

#5 SAMANCO GREEN TEA ICE CREAM SANDWICH

What do you get when you cross a Taiyaki with an ice cream sandwich? No points for guessing. Samanco Green Tea Ice Cream stands out from the sea of ice cream tubs and sticks with its fishy outfit.

But it’s more than just its good looks. The combination of milky matcha ice cream with sweet red bean paste is truly a match made in heaven. The matcha flavour isn’t the most concentrated, so it’s great if you’re not into bitter notes.

Available at Fairprice and Cold Storage.

#6 THE ICE CREAM & COOKIE CO. ONDE ONDE

This brand hasn’t been around as long as some of the old-timers have but it’s certainly not to be trifled with. Their Onde Onde ice cream is a case in point. This coconut milk-based ice cream is infused with all-natural pandan extract and laced with coconut mochi, desiccated coconut and delicious gula melaka.

A taste of your favourite traditional kueh in every scoop. And yes, it’s dairy-free so even the lactose-intolerant people can rejoice!

Available at Fairprice, Cold Storage and The Marketplace.

#7 WALL’S ASIAN DELIGHT ICE CREAM — TARO

We can already hear the steps of the orh nee fans running towards their nearest supermarkets. This taro ice cream popsicle looks and tastes like yammy paradise.

Yam-flavoured ice cream spiked with actual yam chunks is coated in a refreshing layer of coconut confection. It’s smooth and fragrant with the occasional soft crunch. Good on you, Wall’s, good on you.

Available at Fairprice.

#8 WALL’S VIENNETTA 

Touted as “the fanciest ice cream cake of the 90s”, the Viennetta is a dreamy confection of layers upon layers of luscious ice cream and compound chocolate. Yes, sorry to disappoint, but there isn’t actually cake in it.

But, that doesn’t make it any less amazing. This supreme creation will surely have you feeling like royalty as you tuck into it. It’s available in two flavours — chocolate and vanilla.

Available at Fairprice and Giant.

#9 WARAKU HOKKAIDO FRESH CREAM DAIFUKU

Whoever thought of putting mochi and ice cream together, thank you. The bounciness of the mochi and richness of the ice cream go hand in hand to create an absolutely winning combination.

Good news — you don’t have to travel down to Japanese marts to get your fix of mochi ice cream. This daifuku ice cream made in Japan is every mochi lover’s dream come true, stuffed with a whole strawberry and fresh cream.

Available at Fairprice.

#10 WEI’S DARK CHOCOLATE

Here’s another great option for those who are sensitive to dairy. Wei’s Dark Chocolate sorbet is so rich and velvety you’ll scrambling to read the ingredient list to make sure there really isn’t any dairy in it.

And there really isn’t. Vegan-friendly, gluten-free and free of artificial flavours, it’s almost too good to be true.

Available at Cold Storage.

Ever felt left out when your group of friends decide to pick the latest and hippest ice-cream café as their new favourite hangout spot? Whether you are watching your diet, or are lactose-intolerant, the temptation can be unbearable when you see your friends happily savouring their mounds of colourful ice-creams.

With many Singaporeans actively swapping their diets and lifestyles to a healthier one, it can be difficult to justify pampering yourself with a scoop. Thankfully, not all ice-creams are made equal: whether you are looking for a lower calorie option, or need to adhere to dietary restrictions, there is no longer a need to abstain from ice-creams this festive season.

To all my fellow sufferers out there, here are 8 cafés where you too can spoil yourself with healthier vegan ice-cream options this festive season!

BEN & JERRY’S

What makes Ben & Jerry’s ice-creams so beloved is the how dense and creamy all their scoops tend to be. By focusing mostly on non-fruit flavours, the ice-cream maintains a smoother and denser texture for a more luxurious finish. With the addition of sizeable pieces of dry sweets for texture, the result is an incredibly decadent treat that is unfortunately not the most forgiving on waist-lines.

Thankfully, there is no longer a need to forgo the chain’s iconic creations. Made with almond milk, the new vegan line of flavours (S$6.00++/scoop) – sans the most luscious of the lot, Coconut Seven Layer Bar – contains on average less calories and sugars than their dairy counterparts. All that without losing that special Ben & Jerry’s finish: the velvety texture, the mesmerising swirls, the rich flavours, and the super-satisfying crunch.

IKEA BISTRO

Over the past year, IKEA has been integrating more sustainable practices into not just their furniture line, and has started including environmentally friendly adjustments to their food as well. While most of the vegan-friendly food options have not yet reached our shores, the one that has is to the delight of all fellow sweet tooths out there: soya ice-cream.

Costing a very affordable S$0.50, the company strove to recreate a healthier alternative to its original soft serve. The current iteration is every bit as delightful as the original, retaining the signature soft airiness at a lower calorie point. After a long day of browsing the brand’s furniture selection, now you too can grab a guilt-free cone (or three) to unwind!

KIND KONES

Located in the middle of town, this cosy café may look unassuming to the passing shopper. However, for those of us with dietary restrictions, this place is heaven-sent. Not only do their ice-creams not have dairy, they are free of refined sugars, preservatives, and additives. Specific gluten and soy-free options are available as well.

Staying true to its motto of “taste the pleasure, not the guilt”, Kind Kones uses a mix of non-dairy milk substitutes and fresh all-natural ingredients to ensure their scoops maintain the necessary flavour at lower calorie, fat, and sugar values.

If you do visit, some must-try options (S$4.90++/scoop) include the matcha-based Blue Planet with a blue pea twist, and the delightful Black Forest mix with hidden bits of brownies between swirls of cherry compote. Unless you are the minuscule part of the population who somehow dislikes ice-cream, Kind Kones is the place to be if you want to hold an all-inclusive dessert gathering at!

KINDRED FOLK

Hidden in the new King Albert Park Mall, it is not by chance the café is perfectly perched to overlook the area’s busy student crowd. The brightly lit space was designed with the neighbourhood’s schooling population in mind: to provide students with a welcoming space to work or play at after class while serving affordable handcrafted food.

Starting at S$3.80 per generous scoop, customers can find everything from classic staples like strawberry, to more unique inventions like wasabi and cereal milk. While most creations do contain dairy, Kindred Folk tries to ensure it keeps at least a couple of its healthy vegan choices available daily.

For a creamier, albeit more indulgent, option, the vegan Sea-Salt Gula Coconut is an intricately flavoured scoop that is indistinguishable from dairy variants. On a sweltering hot day, opt instead for the lighter and more refreshing option of Watermelon Calamansi Sorbet for the ultimate thirst quencher and palate cleanser.

MR BEAN SINGAPORE

A brand that requires little introduction, Mr Bean is Singapore’s largest purveyor of soy-based F&B products, and is dedicated to providing locals with healthy and accessible soy-based items to satiate their cravings with. Given the relative scarcity of soy ice-creams, Mr Bean outlets are one of the easiest ways for Singaporeans to enjoy this low-calorie treat.

At S$1.90 per cone, and S$2.10 per cup, customers can partake in a full-size dollop of Mr Bean’s signature Soy Ice Cream for just over 100 calories – a significant margin below that of traditional dairy-based ice-creams.

For those looking for more exciting flavours, the brand released four exciting vegan and eggless flavours in a collaboration with Udders –  Original Soy, Salted Gula Melaka, Oreo Cookie, and Durian (S$3.80/cup) – at selected outlets. As rich as the flavours may sound, fear not, because even the most caloric of the four contains a conservative 160 calories per serving.

POPBAR

Originally from America, this NYC-based company specialises in gelato in its simplest form – no-frills, and mounted on a stick. What makes the brand stand out is its commitment to quality: their bars are made fresh daily using all-natural ingredients under stringent quality control.

Although their main line of popGelato (S$4.90++/stick) contains dairy, their popSorbettos (S$4.50++/stick) are a hit in the vegan and lactose-intolerant community. By using top quality concentrated fruit juice or puree, the resulting texture is an even smooth mix that is much denser than typical sorbets. Moreover, these bars are a good source of dietary fibre, and are fat and cholesterol-free as well.

With each popSorbetto causing just 70-80 calories worth of damage, feel free to go for a more extravagant twist by adding a generous dusting of poppings (toppings) – we recommend the fresh pistachios and coconut strips – to complete the experience.

SMOOCHT

Fans of vegan ice-cream would probably have heard of Brownice – one of the longer-standing brands that serve 100% vegan ice-creams in Singapore. Rebranded as Smoocht, the team continues the legacy of its iconic r’ice-cream: substituting the higher fat-content of non-dairy milk options in favour of organic crystal brown rice to serve healthy full-fledged vegan ice-creams at a mere 80-160 calorie mark.

Featuring an extensive 18-flavour collection (S$3.50++/scoop), customers will be spoilt for choice. Whether you are looking for a rare vegan alternative to the rich and buttery PB n’ Choc, or prefer to stick to the zesty tang of Passion A Go Go, Smoocht has a flavour to satisfy all whimsies of cravings.

For those looking for a more substantial option, try the brand’s super crispy eggless waffles (S$8.00++) for an added texture crunch. Or if you are looking to be the life of the party, why not enquire about their luxurious selection of ice-cream cakes ($$60.00++)?

ZEBRA DREAM

Far from your typical vegan ice-cream brand, Zebra Dream prides itself in retaining the tantalisingly creamy texture of dairy-based ice-cream that tends to be diluted in vegan alternatives. By pairing coconut milk with quality and fair trade ingredients, the brand provides healthy sustainable indulgence without compromising on taste.

Zebra Dream currently offers seven flavours (S$5.98/tub) in its arsenal, most of which are reinventions of familiar classics: their best-selling Strawberry Baobob mixes a quintessential summer fruit with a hint of tangy from an Australian and African bush food. Regardless of which flavour you gravitate towards, you can be sure of a guilt-free cheat day!

While they do not have a standalone store locally, all flavours of Zebra Dream’s catalogue are available at Little Farm outlets. Thereafter, you can choose to either curl up leisurely with the tubs at home, or bring them to the café and café bar areas for immediate enjoyment.

Taking over local bakery Prima Deli’s long-time spot in Clementi is One Stone Three Birds. The humble ice cream cafe serves homemade gelato at affordable price points. As there aren’t many speciality dessert cafes in Clementi, One Stone Three Birds might be well on its way to being the go-to ice cream place in central Clementi.

The shop is run by a husband and wife duo, passionate to find new flavours and infusions for their ice cream. Check out what we thought about this new ice cream shop!

Located just a short walk from Clementi MRT, right behind Clementi Mall, is One Stone Three Birds. Just newly opened in August, this new ice cream shop has drawn in quite a bit of an audience as a new dessert spot in this highly-populated area.

Boasting peach-pink walls and funky decor, One Stone Three Birds makes eating ice cream a picture-perfect opportunity.

We ordered a double scoop of their Salted Caramel and Black Sesame Ice Cream (S$7), accompanied by their chocolate-batter Waffle Sticks (S$3).

Their Salted Caramel ice cream was indulgent and very delicious, being a good blend of salty and sweet. We did notice a few bites of ice cream being a little more salty than we’d like but it was still good nonetheless.

We absolutely loved their Black Sesame ice cream. It was smoky and had a distinct flavour of black sesame, dotted with roasted sesame seeds for a nice textural contrast. Its sweetness was perfectly balanced out by the roasted aroma from the sesame!

Their waffle sticks, made with a waffle iron that had churro-shaped moulds, were crisp on the outside yet moist on the inside. As they were not too sweet, they complemented the ice creams impeccably well.

Check out their other flavours if you’re in Clementi – think Hojicha, Rose and even Espresso Banana!

Seeing how we are stuck with this unforgiving weather all year round, it’s no surprise that many of us are on the perpetual search for new places to get our ice cream fix in Singapore. This time, our search has led us to Mingle Mangle, an ice cream parlour nestled at the edge of Hougang that scoops up a selection of classic and unique ice cream flavours.

At Mingle Mangle, there are more than 10 waffle flavours for you to choose from. Think dark chocolate, peanut butter, black sesame or even super spicy chilli and chicken cutlet – we were obviously spoilt for choice! Unfortunately, we only had room for one waffle so we went for the Matcha Waffle (S$6.50).

Crispy and airy, we were impressed at how fragrant the waffle was. Not only did the inside of the waffle have the distinct matcha green colour, but the overall flavour also stayed true to what matcha is supposed to taste like as well: bitter and earthy.

We paired our waffle with a Double Scoop (S$6.60) of Honey Cornflakes and Mud Slide. The former was delightfully sweet with cornflakes that were a bit soggy while the latter was decadent and rich. We appreciated how the ice creams at Mingle Mangle were not cloying and did not melt that fast too.

We also sampled the Chilli Crab and Hainanese Chicken Rice flavour. While they were well-executed, we were not adventurous enough to have a whole scoop of it. Those who have exotic taste buds should definitely make a trip here to try these interesting flavours.

In a tropical, almost unforgivably humid country like Singapore, ice cream is essential. And fortunately for us, there are lots of ice cream options to choose from, from artisanal ice cream parlours, convenience store varieties and even those sold on carts along Orchard Road.

At its heart, ice cream is merely a composition of milk and cream but what sets a good one apart from a great one is the quality of the ingredients used and the careful manipulation of sweetness and richness. A brand that never fails to exceed expectations, presenting an intensely pleasurable experience with every lick, is Häagen-Dazs.

In the spirit of Christmas, the colossal brand has released two limited edition flavours—Cream Cheese Mochi and Tiramisu Mochi. An extraordinary marriage between traditional Asian mochi and European desserts, each and every soft, pillowy morsel presents a flavour and textural profile that far surpasses the common ice cream dessert. For an amplified experience, head on down to one of their stores to enjoy full-on crafted desserts featuring the two seasonal offerings such as the So Mochi Together Fondu and the oh-so-gorgeous Gondola Tiramisu.

A duo that aims to bring joy and sheer decadence to both the young and the old, what better way to soak up the festive Yule, than to cosy up around your loved ones, sharing and indulging in top-quality ice cream?

TWO DAZZLING NEW FLAVOURS 

The brand prides itself on only sourcing the best ingredients from around the world to concoct their various ice cream varieties and their two new offerings are no exception. The mochi is steamed in Taiwan and the Tiramisu Mochi—along with its cream cheese counterpart—derive their cheese fillings from Europe.

Singaporeans love their cheese and as recent food trends have shown, we love having cheese in desserts, in tea, in buns, in everything.

Made with top quality cream cheese from Europe, the new Häagen-Dazs Cream Cheese Mochi (S$14.50) ice cream has delicate cheese notes that delivers the authenticity of a light, creamy taste just like a fluffy cheesecake. Scattered throughout like precious jewels are small delicately-sized, steamed Mochi pieces that do well to provide a chewy texture with every bite.

The new Häagen-Dazs Tiramisu Mochi (S$14.50) ice cream uses real Mascarpone from Italy and, again, features the pillowy steamed Mochi bits from Taiwan. Uniquely soft, almost buttery and accented with a pleasant chew, the ice cream boasts a heady profile of coffee with a slight sour tinge to it from the mascarpone. A surefire hit among coffee lovers, this was easily our favourite flavour between the two.

SO MOCHI TOGETHER FONDUE

Buying a tub and enjoying their ice cream in-store is never quite the same. In-store, they come up with a myriad of creations which change on a frequent basis depending on the product that’s in season, so as to amplify said limited edition flavour.

A royal rumble of various ice cream and sorbets, the So Mochi Together Fondu (S$46++) comprises Tiramisu Mochi, Cream Cheese Moshi, vanilla, Belgian chocolate, white peach & raspberry, green tea, mango and raspberry ice cream, along with mango and raspberry sorbet.

Along with fruit and cookie accompaniments that serve to provide vibrancy and texture—all neatly arranged around a pot of melted chocolate—this massive treat is ideal for sharing among a family and is also a great way to try out all their flavours.

BISTRO PARIS

Elegantly plated, the Bistro Paris (S$21.90++) sees a cheesecake that’s adorned with a berry purée, macadamia nuts, kiwi bits, biscuits and various chocolate elements. The ice cream of choice for this dessert is the Cream Cheese Mochi and to balance out the richness of it, a healthy scoop of raspberry sorbet.

CHEESE FOAM GREEN TEA LATTE

Providing a subtle bitter-sweet flavour, the Cheese Foam Green Tea Latte (S$8.90++) is an excellent choice to lounge about with. Topped with a sweet cheese foam, the otherwise robust bitter flavour is given an added surge of sweetness.

Served alongside it is a brittle along with a scoop of the Cream Cheese Mochi ice cream.

GONDOLA TIRAMISU

A dessert that’s literally too beautiful to consume, the Gondola Tiramisu (S$19.90) amazes with its intricate detail and promise of sheer decadence with every eager mouthful.

A wonderful expression of the new Tiramisu Mochi ice cream, a bowl made entirely out of chocolate is fitted with lady finger biscuits and additional coffee and vanilla-flavoured ice cream are added to further emphasise the apparent notes of coffee and rich cream. Caramel brittles are also scattered around the plate to provide texture and a profound nutty flavour.

TIRAMISU COFFEE

The Tiramisu Coffee (S$7.10++) is essentially a liquified version of the Italian dessert, right down to the creamy core. This coffee-intense beverage packs sweetness and a delightful hint of vanilla that is nicely underscored by a strong, subtly bitter hint of coffee—a good reminder that we were still threading along the lines of a flavoured coffee rather than a dessert.

Sweet, robust and creamy in all its glory, this unique cuppa is perfect should you ever be hankering after a midday pick-me-up.

This post was brought to you by Häagen-Dazs.

In 2018 alone, there have been multiple instances where we have witnessed Singaporeans’ relentless patience to queue for overseas brands who have made their debuts in Singapore, including famous Korean toast chain Isaac Toast, original cheese tea inventor HEYTEA, and Austrian bakery specialising in devil cheese buns, Guschlbauer.

Keep your eyes peeled and your calendars marked because come late November, famous Hokkaido soft serve shop Naganuma Ice is slated to open in Singapore’s Carlton City Hotel.

Known to be Hokkaido’s most sought-after soft serve brand, the brand specialises in soft serves and gelato and always sees queues of almost an hour long. Distinctively the sole Hokkaido firm certified by the prefecture’s authorities for using raw Hokkaido milk in their ice cream products, their milky goodnesses is quite possibly the best in Naganuma itself.

Founded in 1994, Naganuma Ice prides themselves on using milk that is sourced from ranch cows near Naganuma town before being transported immediately to the brand’s factory for low-temperature pasteurisation, making sure that every cone boasts an intense milky flavour.

Currently, Naganuma Ice has 6 outlets worldwide—3 in Japan and 3 in Taiwan, all of which draws long queues. Diners can expect the very same quality to be produced in Singapore’s outlet as Japan’s outlet as only the same ingredients, such as 100% Hokkaido raw milk, will go into the making of the soft serve.

Singapore’s outlet will serve 6 soft serve flavours and 12 gelato flavours. Look forward to items such as the signature Rich Milk Soft Serve (S$6)!

Also, be sure to try out to their Singapore-exclusive items, the Black Lover Parfait (S$8.50) which is made of cream, strawberry jam, cookie crumbs, and Asahikawa dark chocolate as well as the Crème Brûlée Rich Milk Soft Serve (S$8), which is Naganuma’s very own twist on the caramelized custard dessert.

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.

Situated just a stone’s throw away from the ever-so-popular Blk 85 Fengshan Food Centre at Bedok North is a newly-opened carnival-themed café, Sir Stamford Waffles, which serves waffles, ice cream, coffee and more.

Do not be confused by the name of this café—Sir Stamford Raffles did not open this café—but rather, the people behind Hatter Street Bakehouse and Café did.

Essentially a carnival-themed café, Sir Stamford Waffles is well-furnished and boasts a bright and colourful interior with huge posters with whimsical illustrations on their walls. The space in the café was small and can fit just 4-5 groups of people, but they have seats outside too.

Sir Stamford Waffles bear great similarity to their sister café in terms of their range of desserts and coffee, but with a twist of local flavours, as their name suggests. Specialising in waffles, they offered several noteworthy signature waffle sets such as The Miraculous Merlion (S$15.90) and the Kopi Kusu (S$15.90).

They serve coffee and tea too, perfect for those just looking for something to sip on in Sir Stamford Waffles whilst escaping the glaring heat!

We opted for the Pulau Unikorn Signature Waffle Set (S$14 nett), which came with 2 signature waffles, 1 scoop of Lavender Blackberry Ice Cream, 1 scoop of Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream and of course, unicorn accessories.

As they were out of the Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream on our visit, we opted for the Strawberry Cheesecake flavour instead. Both the lavender blackberry and strawberry cheesecake flavours were delightful to have with the waffles, as they were neither overwhelmingly sweet nor sour.

The waffles were extremely crispy and light, but we would have preferred if the waffles had a more fluffy texture to it. However, the waffles were not too sweet, making it a great complement to the ice cream.

With plenty of cafés serving waffles with ice cream coming forth in Singapore, Sir Stamford Waffles does not stand out in any particular way.

We wouldn’t go all the way to Bedok for Sir Stamford Waffles, but should you be around the east of Singapore and looking for somewhere to curb your waffle and ice cream cravings, you can consider dropping by.
