Cave into that sweet treat craving—whether you’re looking for waffles, crepes or cakes, these places have you covered.
2am:dessertbar
A go-to haunt for dessert lovers, especially late at night, this place serves up sweet gastronomic delights. Tucked away in a corner of Holland Village, the intimate space has boundary pushing edible art like marshmallow walls and chocolate tables. They’ve also introduced a cocktail menu that uses pastry techniques, as well as a takeaway counter with beignets and churros.
Antoinette
The French-inspired boudoir decor isn’t the only French thing on their menu. Aside from their brunch options, they’ve got macaroons and sweet treats like crepes with salted caramel and nutella; gooey warm chocolate cake; and rose petal meringues.
Carpenter & Cook
Not only do they serve great sandwiches and quiches, this place also has tons of cakes. They do change sometimes but regulars include sweet treats like carrot cake, cheesecakes (with flavors like blueberry and caramel walnut), and tarts like passionfruit meringue and fruit frangipane.
Henri Charpentier
French-inspired pastries and desserts are the norm at this Japanese patisserie. Decked out in dark wood with touches of pink, this Dempsey dessert cafe is perfect for an afternoon out. Don’t miss their signature Crepe Suzette that’s flambeed tableside, as well as Singapore-only desserts like The Dome, a confection of strawberries and chocolate.
Laduree
More of a grab-and-go takeaway store, this Paris transplant is just as pretty with its mint green swirls and Versailles-style decor. The macaroons may not come cheap but their wide array of ever-changing flavors have the perfect sweetness level and have a great crunchy shell.
Lady M
This specialist mille-feuille cake place has been super popular ever since it debuted in Singapore. The cakes themselves are 20 layers of thin crepes sandwiched with cream in all sorts of flavors like matcha tea and strawberry.
Marmalade Pantry
Although this place does savory food like pastas, sandwiches and salads, they really stand out with their dessert offerings. This casual bistro has some of the best cupcakes in town with flavors like Granny’s Apples made of spiced apples, cinnamon cake and topped with cream cheese; Hazel, a chocolate cupcake with chocolate-hazelnut frosting; and the classic Red Velvet with coconut cream cheese frosting.
Max Brenner Chocolate Bar
If you’re obsessed with all things coco, then this is the perfect place to hit up on that next night out. Whether you like hot chocolate in their signature huggable mugs, Belgian waffles doused in chocolate sauce, or want to share a chocolate fondue complete with cookies, bananas and sponge cakes, they’ve got you covered (and then some).
PS. Cafe
Another place that’s not all about its savory food. Sure the truffle fries are a must-have but did you ever walk past the entrance and not glaze over at the dessert display with wide and greedy eyes? They’ve got all sorts of towering cakes like the Ultimate Fudgy Brownie with pillowy puffs of marshmallows and apple pies. If that’s not your thing, they’ve got an awesome sticky date pudding, too.
Sunday Folks
This dessert bar in Chip Bee Gardens has six different flavors of creamy soft-serve ice cream with flavors like seasalt gula melaka that’s usually towering over their freshly-baked waffles. They’ve also got cakes like sticky toffee cake and layered matcha cakes.
