Best ice cream waffles in Singapore
One of the most inviting things about ice cream stores is the toasty aroma of freshly made waffles. If you allow yourself to be drawn by the scent, you’ll find yourself standing in front of an ice cream display next, deciding which flavours to go with your piping hot waffle. You won’t regret it, because your taste buds are in for a treat.
Crispy, brown waffles. Rich and creamy gelato. That’s really all you need for an indulgent break at any time of the day. To save you the trouble of looking for ice cream parlours to visit, here are the best cafes for ice cream and waffles in Singapore, including one that has savoury waffles too! We’ve organised them according to the neighbourhood for ease.
Multiple outlets islandwide
1. Three’s A Crowd
Three’s A Crowd plays around with flavours that truly appeal to our local palate, such as the Churros Waffles ($8) that are generously coated with cinnamon sugar and paired with toasted marshmallow and chocolate sauce. Make it extra decadent by topping it up with a scoop of their freshly churned gelato ($4.50), though we recommend their premium flavours ($5.50) such as the Dark Gianduja or Roasted Pistachio.
From our Three’s A Crowd review: “Any kid would be happy to find Speculoos-flavoured ice cream. The famous caramelised cookie has an iconic flavour profile, like an indulgent mix of a gingerbread cookie and a buttery graham cracker with a touch of caramel.”

2. Tom’s Palette
Tom’s Palette has been serving up gelato for 20 years at their OG outlet in Bugis, and has even expanded to a second location in Kovan. Here you can find super creative flavours such as White Chocolate Nori, which pairs the sweetness of white chocolate with the saltiness of seaweed, Soya Bean Youtiao, a soymilk-based treat with caramelised youtiao bits, and even a savoury Salted Egg Yolk.
From our Tom’s Palette review: “The Taiwanese Sesame Brittle gelato was also excellent when paired with the hot waffles. You get a fragrant nuttiness from the Black Sesame gelato, zhnged up with even more sesame in the form of a brittle.”

3. Burnt Cones
Burnt Cones originally opened in Sunset Way in late 2020, and it quickly became a hotspot for those looking to satisfy their sugar cravings, with multiple outlets opening islandwide. The cafe is best known for their rich gelato flavours and their house-made cones, but they also have waffles if you prefer. Ice creams start at a scoop (from $5), of which we highly recommend both the Pistachio and Ube. Their Buttermilk Waffles ($7) are great for fans of crispy waffles, as the charred exterior offers some crunch when making way for the pillowy middle. Prices differ according to outlet.
From our Burnt Cones review: “The Pistachio gelato ticked all the right boxes. It was smooth, creamy, and thick with a roasted nutty aroma. The robust notes of pistachio are rounded off with a milky finish, making each lick pure bliss. Burnt Cones’ waffles sport a darker hue than typical waffles. This Maillard browning—hopefully done purposefully by the staff in the kitchen—gave each piece a beautiful contrast of outer crispiness and inner fluffiness.”

4. Udders
Udders is one of Singapore’s OG ice cream and waffle spots, with multiple outlets islandwide. They have a wide variety of fun flavours to choose from, including those that pay homage to popular candy bars—think Kit Kat Bites and Snickers Honeycomb. Have the ice cream as it is, or atop one of their fluffy waffles made fresh upon order. It’s also worth noting that Udders has vegan-friendly flavours on the menu! Prices differ according to outlet.
From our Udders review: “Their Kueh Salat flavour is a great pick if you enjoy more texture in your dessert. This one had chunks of kueh and a rich coconut flavour. There’s something for durian lovers too! Their Emperor Mao is the most expensive flavour out of the lot. We were told that the Mao Shan Wang used was hand-picked from an orchid in Pahang. This one had a really good balance of creamy durian and milky ice cream.”

5. The Better Scoop
The Better Scoop puts an innovative spin on the ice cream waffles trend with their Nian Gao Waffles ($6.80), an ooey-gooey confection that makes for a textural pairing with the gelato. Each waffle comes with four squares of nian gao, so you get notes of toffee and brown sugar with every bite. The Better Scoop has a selection of inventive gelato flavours as well, including the Black Sesame Soy Milk ($4.70) and Hoegaarden Rose ($4.70), which you’d be hard-pressed to find at other gelato cafes.
From our The Better Scoop review: “I particularly enjoyed the Honey Chamomile Blue Pea ice cream that contained a whole chamomile flower within. With every scoop, you will be able to find traces of the chamomile flower, giving the ice cream an aromatic honey-like sweetness.”

6. Hundred Acre Creamery
Hundred Acre Creamery has several outlets in Singapore, one in Sunset Way and another in Tampines. The cafe serves up Coconut Pandan Waffle ($7) with a mochi-like texture that’s best enjoyed with a scoop of their gelato. Prices start at $4.50 a scoop, with unique flavours such as ispahan—AKA rose, raspberry and lychee—and chrysanthemum. They also serve up Vietnamese coffees here, including egg coffee, which is hard to come by in Singapore.
From our Hundred Acre Creamery review: “I far preferred the Isaphan sorbet, which was a refreshing blend of raspberry, rose, and lychee. Its lighter body paired better with the heavier waffle and gula melaka sauce, with an addictive tangy undertone I couldn’t get enough of.”

7. After Hours
If you’re down for a good crispy-chewy mochi waffle, head to Haw Par Villa for After Hours. The Churros Mochi Waffle ($8.50) is said to be one of the best around, but they also do a great Classic Waffle ($7). This is best paired with their gelato, priced at $5 for a single scoop and $6 for a premium single scoop. Those who are game for not-the-usual flavours might want to try the Soya Milk with Dough Fritters or Butterbeer. Plus, they’re open till 2am daily!

If there were a competition for the crispiest waffle, I think we have a winner in Creamier Handcrafted Ice Cream and Coffee. Waffles here, with an undeniable crisp exterior and fluffy texture, are served in a pair ($7.50). Accompany this with an additional scoop of their freshly churned ice cream ($11.50), produced using only natural quality ingredients such as Tahitian Vanilla Beans and hand-harvested sea salt.

14. MADLYGOOD
Stand in front of MADLYGOOD’s counter and you’ll find yourself having a hard time pondering what to get. That’s because they serve a couple of waffle sandwiches as well as waffle and ice cream combinations. They come with a variety of different toppings, from fruit to chocolate chips, and multiple scoops of ice cream, as well as flavoured waffles. Some popular picks include the Pistachio Cream Mochi ($14) and Cream Cheese Buttermilk ($14).
From our MADLYGOOD review: “Incorporating flower-based flavours isn’t always easy. Too much extract, and the gelato becomes bitter; too little, and the fragrance won’t be detectable. It’s safe to say MADLYGOOD found the delicate balance in this flavour (Honey Bunny). The sweet honey did well to balance out the aromatic notes of lavender. However, I felt that its sweetness could be toned down a notch, as the gelato got a bit cloying after a few tries.”

Hay Gelato is the brainchild of the folks behind contemporary restaurant Brine. Things get really experimental in their cosy East Coast gelateria, as the team firmly believes in pushing flavour boundaries.

Complete your gelato with their freshly made buttery waffles with maple syrup for an additional $4.
From our Celine’s Gelato review: “The Chocolate flavour incorporates 72% Venezuela cocoa for that ultimate bittersweet flavour. We tried this on its own, and were pleasantly surprised by how rich, dark, and intense the cocoa notes were. This would definitely speak to those who love dark chocolate, as it wasn’t too sweet or milky.”

21. Lola Faye Cafe
Lola Faye Cafe is a tropical-themed Muslim-owned joint that has an extensive menu of sweet treats, including gelato and waffles, brownies, and frappes. Housed along Jalan Besar, it is open till 2am daily.
The gelato here starts at $5 and is quite popular, though it does lean sweet. Toppings are free, and you get to choose between different sauces, cereals, cookie crumbles, and more. Pair your gelato pick with their freshly made Buttermilk Belgian Waffles (price TBD).
From our Lola Faye review: “My other gripe with this dessert was that it was overly sweet. While the gelato was smooth and creamy with hints of sea salt, it lacked that butterscotch flavour you would expect from toffee, and instead tasted similar to vanilla ice cream.”

If you want to DIY, prices start from $10 for the Freshly Baked Egglet waffles, and ice cream starts at $4.50 per flavour.
From our AM:PM cafe review: “I also enjoyed the pandan egglet base. If you’re unfamiliar with egglets, AKA gai dan zai, they’re a street snack most commonly associated with Hong Kong. These little waffle balls were light, airy and slightly chewy, with a lovely, eggy fragrance. What’s more, they’re made fresh to order, so the waffle was still warm and soft when served.”

24. Muted
Another cafe in the Jalan Besar region worth checking out is Muted. I stumbled upon this cafe once after work with a friend, and we were genuinely impressed with their Roasted Hojicha gelato. The hojicha notes were very prominent, and it was nutty, toasty, and almost chocolatey. But if you’re not one for hojicha, there are flavours such as Earl Grey Sakura, Soy Gula Melaka, and Uji Matcha. A scoop here is priced at $5, with premium flavours going for $6. Get a Buttermilk Waffle ($6) topped with a scoop or two, and you’ve got yourself the perfect dessert.
From our Muted Gelato review: “I preferred the Roasted Hojicha gelato, which was smooth and creamy, with complex and earthy notes of the roasted tea. This is one must-try if you enjoy tea-infused sweets, or hojicha desserts in general!”

Most diners get a single scoop paired with a Buttermilk Belgian Waffle ($7.90), finished with a free drizzle of your choice: maple syrup, caramel, chocolate, or strawberry.
From our No Horse Run Gelato review: “At first glance, I thought the waffles would be stodgy within, despite the delightful crackle as I sliced through. Surprisingly, they weren’t, with a punchy, intensely aromatic lightness in the mouth.”
