Frankly, cafe-hopping in Singapore is an expensive hobby to have. Order one main and a drink, and there goes $30. But it’s a different story when you’re making use of your CDC Vouchers, which, by the way, aren’t just for grocery shopping or hawker meals. Check out our list of the best cafes in Singapore that accept CDC Vouchers for your next coffee run or WFH day.
Run by a young couple, The Better Half is a cosy nook at Everton Park selling drinks and fresh bakes. Almost everything is on display here, so take your time to pick what you’d like.
If you don’t know what to get, we recommend starting with their crowd-favourite Pistachio Raspberry ($8.50): a pistachio cake with raspberry jam and the same tangy-zesty filling and buttercream. There’s also the lesser-seen Honey Kinako ($8.80), featuring a wildflower honey cake with kinako buttercream and matcha glaze, finished with kinako crumble.Â

Bag Me Up is another Everton Park gem that’s a stone’s throw away from The Better Half. This under-HDB cafe specialises in bagels and focaccia, all under $20!
If you prefer bagels, consider their Can Trust Chick ($14.50), a simple combination of tender chicken patty and melted cheese. Something new on the menu is the Smash Bagel ($16.50), which uses smashed beef patty as the key ingredient, alongside melted cheddar, caramelised onions, and a sunny-side-up.

If we had to introduce a cafe in Singapore known for pies, Elijah Pies would instantly come to mind.Â
Out of their nine flavours, the stunning Wild Berry Lavender Pie ($8.50++) is a bestseller. It features a crispy crust topped with fresh yoghurt infused with real berries and a hint of lavender, creating the perfect balance of tangy and creamy. Speaking of fruity flavours, the Yuzu Meringue Pie ($8.50++) and Lime Thyme Pie ($8.50++) are great alternatives. Otherwise, go straight for the Speculoos Hojicha Pie ($8.50++) or Pistachio Praline Pie ($9.50++); the former sees caramelised cookie butter and aromatic notes of roasted green tea.

Hello Arigato has five outlets at the time of writing, and their Everton Park and Seng Poh Road branches accept CDC Vouchers. We recommend the former for a serene atmosphere, while the latter is great if you want to dine within a Scandinavian-esque space.
The cafe is known for sando, such as the crowd-favourite Porkatsu Sando ($26++) and the popular Gyu Sando ($28++). The Gyu Sando is especially worth a try, comprising a thick beef tenderloin katsu paired with caramelised sweet onion jam. There are pastas too, including the creamy Hokkaido Milk Udon Carbonara ($22++) and flavour-packed Mentaiko Pasta ($22++). FYI, the menu varies depending on the outlet you’re visiting.Â

ICYMI: Pretty Good Muffins went viral for their affordable muffins and matcha latte in early to mid-2025. After trying their goods, we can tell you that the Chinatown cafe’s hype isn’t dying down anytime soon because their muffins are, quite literally, pretty good.
The cheapest muffin costs $1.40 and is available in flavours such as Almond, Cranberry, and Choc Chip. Muffins aside, their beverages have been highly raved about by avid matcha fans, especially the Banana Pudding ($6.90). You can choose from three drinks—matcha latte, hojicha latte, or iced chocolate—and top your preferred beverage with a generous scoop of their house-made banana pudding.Â

Another Everton Park spot that accepts CDC Vouchers is Cafe Wabi Sabi, a Japanese cafe that offers sando, soba, donburi and more.
We tried the Sukiyaki Don ($15.90), a vibrant combination of pork belly, onsen egg, caramelised onions, and tobiko, finished with sweet-savoury sukiyaki sauce. To go with this, we recommend their Fried Oyster ($9.90), which gets you four pieces served with wasabi mayo. If these sound too heavy, go straight for their sando that features house-made shokupan. The Spicy Cheesy Tori Katsu Sando ($14.90) is a bestseller here, starring wasabi mayo and a special spicy sauce that’s mellowed down by cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

A short walk away from Cafe Wabi Sabi is Dearborn Granola, our go-to cafe for some of the best freshly made yoghurt bowls and granolas in Singapore. The granola flavours change every day, so check their Instagram account to see what’s available before heading down.Â
There are usually about three flavours available each time, with Strawberry Macadamia and Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut & Sea Salt known to be two of the most popular options. As for the yoghurt base, expect a creamy and pleasantly tangy Greek yoghurt that’s made in-house. You can opt for the Coconut flavour for a tropical undertone.

Nylon Coffee is one of our favourite places to get really good coffee in Singapore. You can only find coffee here, which is a telling sign that the cafe takes it very seriously. Prices are also on the friendlier side, with no GST or service charges.Â
If you can spare a bit of time, we recommend staying to experience one of their seasonal filter brews. Otherwise, an Iced Black ($5) or hot White (from $5) is the way to go! An extra shot of espresso only costs $0.50 here, and you can even save $0.50 if you bring your own cup.

If old-school breakfast spots are your thing, save Tina’s Cafe to your must-visit list of cafes that accept CDC Vouchers. There’s everything here, from Nanyang breakfast sets to the typical brunch fare.
There are plenty of toast sets to choose from, ranging from the classic Homemade Kaya Butter Toast Set ($6) to the more exciting Orh Nee Butter Toast Set ($6.50) and Egg Mayo Cheese Toast Set ($6.50). Alternatively, stick to the usuals Eggs with Bacon ($12.60), which also comes with hashbrowns and a side of salad, or go all out with Tina’s Breakfast Platter ($17.80): eggs, bacon, ham, chicken sausage, baked beans, hashbrown, toasted bread, and mixed greens.

At Cafe Lilac by Whisking Bakes, almost everything is about taro. You get all kinds of yam-infused drinks and desserts, but if you’re not a fan of orh nee, worry not, as there are other sweet and savoury items to choose from.Â
It’s our first time coming across Taro Einspanner ($7+) in Singapore; this drink comprises iced black coffee with yam paste, topped with velvety smooth taro cream. For a fruity twist, the Strawberry Taro Latte ($7.50+) is a fun choice! Besides all these orh nee goods, some hearty savoury options include Kimchi Fried Rice ($13.90+), Teriyaki Chicken Wrap ($12.90+), and Ham and Cheese Sando ($10.90+).

One of the best late-night dessert cafes is After Hours Gelato, where you can enjoy gelato and waffles over conversations with your friends till 2am daily. They have two outlets, but you can only use your CDC Vouchers at the Bishan branch.
The cafe is known for their Churros Mochi Waffle ($8.50), a sweet and crispy treat that’s covered in cinnamon and sugar. We recommend getting a Single ($5) or a Double ($9) scoop to pair with your piping hot waffles for the best experience. There are also five different Calpis soda flavours here, including Passionfruit, Watermelon, and White Peach, all priced at $6 each.Â

Matcha fans will surely know of Kurasu, a Kyoto-born specialty coffee chain with a vibey space in Bugis along Waterloo Street. They even sell their own blend of tea powders and whole coffee beans, both online and offline.Â
We ordered both the Iced Matcha Latte and Iced Hojicha Latte to try, priced at $7.50 each. The former leaned sweeter and milkier, with the grassy and earthy flavours taking a backseat. In terms of texture, the smooth, creamy mouthfeel made this an easy and approachable drink. We recommend this to those who are just getting started with matcha.

A quick five-minute walk from Bugis MRT Station is Narrative Coffee, a cosy cafe tucked away at Bras Basah Complex.Â
Coffee is their specialty, with an Iced Black priced at $6.50 and an Iced White at $7. For something different, try their Signature “Dirty” ($7.50), which is essentially made by pouring a shot of espresso over cold milk. If you’re not into coffee, consider their Matcha/Hojicha Latte (from $5.50) or Masala Chai (from $5.50) instead; the latter is a spiced tea option that’s not commonly found in cafes.

If you’ve been keeping up with the matcha trend in Singapore, you would have heard of Creamie Sippies, a popular cafe that went viral for their XL matcha cups. You can now enjoy a cup of their signature matcha latte with your CDC Vouchers at their Bukit Merah outlet.
The menu is divided into classic and limited items, the former including the Classic Matcha Latte ($7.90) and Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8.90). There’s the indulgent Banana Pudding Matcha Latte ($9.90), too, which is served in limited quantities every day.

Tolido’s Espresso Nook in Lavender is one of the known spots for rosti in Singapore, which you can enjoy as part of the all-day breakfast menu.
There are two kinds to choose from: Rosti with Cheesy Sausage ($20++) and Rosti with Smoked Bratwurst ($22++). Both come with a sunny-side-up atop the crispy potato pancake!

Sweedy Patisserie is always on a roll with their range of cool, trendy desserts, such as the viral crookie and Korean mochi bento cakes. At the time of writing, the menu largely features savoury brunch dishes alongside matcha-infused treats.Â
The most eyecatching item has got to be the Triple Cheese Matcha Sammie ($15.80+), a thick brioche packed with melted cheddar, mozzarella, and matcha cream cheese. It’s toasted till crispy and golden brown on the outside, and comes with a satisfyting cheese pull. Alternatively, opt for the safer options: Truffle Avo Sammie ($16.80+), Sweedy Big Breakfast with Smoked Salmon ($18+) and more. End your meal on a sweet note with the popular Banana Pudding Matcha Latte ($9.80+), featuring matcha latte topped with a dollop of house-made banana pudding.Â

Kook’s Creamery is the first cafe in Singapore to sell molten cookies—also called lava cookies. FYI, you can use your CDC Vouchers at their Bedok and Serangoon stores. Both outlets open till late at night!
A single scoop of gelato here costs $4.80, while a double costs $9. We typically enjoy our gelato with Mochi Waffles ($9), but you can take it up a notch by pairing it with the Chocolate Lava Cookie ($8) or Matcha Lava Cookie ($8.50) instead.

Popular cafe Rise Bakehouse has been growing steadily, with over 22K followers on Instagram and three branches across the country. They recently opened a heritage cafe in Chinatown, but note that CDC Vouchers can only be used at their OG Potong Pasir outlet.
For a caffeine kick, we recommend their signature Tiramisu Cream Latte ($8.50), a delicious concoction of espresso and cocoa topped with a ladyfinger biscuit. To go with your drink, get the crowd-favourite Fresh Berries Waffles ($17.90), topped with house-made berry compote and seasonal berry gelato.

Tom’s Palette needs no introduction to gelato fans out there. If the dessert chain is known for one thing, it’s the continuous effort to roll out innovative flavours every month. Check out their “Gelato of the Day” board to see what’s new and popular!
A single scoop costs $5.80 while a double costs $10.60. For those visiting in a group, we recommend Tom’s Palette ($29.80), which serves six gelato flavours of your choice on a wooden tray. Some flavours that have made it to the “Gelato of the Day” board multiple times include Sicilian Pistachio, Hokkaido Milk, and Old Fashioned Apple Pie. The latter is essentially a combination of cinnamon, house-made speculoos, and apple pie filling.Â

For a late-night dessert cafe, head down to Udders at Upper Thomson. Their Kovan outlet also accepts CDC Vouchers, if it’s more convenient for you.Â
Udders offers the classic single and double options at $5 and $9.40, respectively, but what’s interesting is their sundae selection, which isn’t typically available at most gelato cafes. Out of the four variations, the Cookie Crumble Sundae ($11.50) stood out to us: Salted Speculoos, Cookies and Cream, and Vanilla Beanz are the three main flavours in this bowl. You can even make your own sundae bowl for $13.90, starting with three gelato scoops in a cone bowl, followed by a sauce and topping of your choice.

All desserts are priced under $10 here, with a bowl of Cendol Shaved Ice costing only $2.50. If you’re going for shaved ice desserts, the Homemade Soy Bean Shaved Ice ($4.90) is a unique option worth trying. Otherwise, get their Black Sesame Tang Yuan ($3.90) for a warm, nutty treat, or the Mixed Tang Yuan ($3.90) for more variety.

There’s nothing like an icy bowl of acai to beat the heat in Singapore. One of our favourite brands is The Summer Acai—you can use your CDC Vouchers at their Bedok, Sengkang, Tengah, and Choa Chu Kang outlets.
For a classic acai base, get the Basic Bitch (from $10.20), featuring a creamy acai sorbet with sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, pitaya, granola, and superfoods. If you like a combination of sorbets as your base, consider the Mango Jambo (from $11.10) for acai and mango sorbet, or Gossip Gearl (from $11.10), which stars an Earl Grey acai base.Â

We tried the Classic Acai in a large cup for $13.60, but if you don’t want to spend too much, opt for the mini ($7.80) or regular ($9.60) size instead. You get a fresh selection of fruit toppings atop a creamy acai base for each option. During our visit, our acai bowl came with banana slices, strawberry, blueberry, kiwi chunks, pineapple, and dragon fruit. For something more fun, try the Mango Swirl (from $7.80), which combines mango sorbet and their signature acai base.Â

Puff And Peaks is a popular bakery-cafe in Tampines. They do pre-orders on the first Monday of every month, and you can place your orders on their official website.Â
Their signature Brookie ($4.20) has been on the menu for years now. Brookie is a combination of cookie and brownie, which explains why you get a half-chocolate chip and half-brownie circle, finished with Valrhona dark chocolate. Another interesting item to try is the Matcha & Mochi Egg Tart ($7), featuring a bittersweet matcha egg tart base that’s layered with stretchy mochi and matcha ganache, then finished with chocolate crumble. There are savoury items too, including Mushroom Caramelised Onion Quiche ($6.50) and Beef Shepherd’s Pie ($8.50).

We’ve visited our fair share of traditional dessert cafes, but there’s none quite like Within The Walls Dessert Bar at East Coast Road, an 80s Hong Kong pop culture-themed space that feels like a trip back in time.
There are both hot and cold desserts here, many of which incorporate fruits in some way or another. Our favourite was Steady Pom Pi Pi Strawberry ($12.80). At first blush, it looked like an ordinary snow ice dessert, but we were surprised by a hidden twist within—a dollop of yoghurt that added a bit of tanginess and creaminess. Their Mango Sago Pomelo ($6.50) is also worth a try if this is your go-to bowl at traditional dessert cafes.Â

Aside from Puffs And Peaks, New Deli Bakery is another beloved gem in Tampines that’s well-loved by residents in the area. Fun fact: the homegrown bakery is helmed by a baker who used to work at Tiong Bahru Bakery!Â
The bakery’s biggest strength lies in viennoiserie, available in several forms and flavours. For a flaky, crispy treat that isn’t a croissant, we recommend trying the crowd-favourite Vanilla Kouign Aman ($5) or Spiced Apple & Almond Croissant ($7). They offer more than just sweet bakes too; there are Rosemary Garlic & Smoked Cheddar Spiral ($5.60), Japanese Shio Pan Croissant ($5) and more if you prefer something savory.

Prices vary depending on the tier: Premium costs $5, Signature costs $6, and Supremo costs $7. The flavours change occasionally, but some of their popular mainstays include Bronte Pistachio, Black Sesame, and Strawberry Basil. For something different, go for the sweet-earthy Ube or refreshing Coconut Lychee.

Tucked away at the Lengkok Bahru neighbourhood in Redhill is Cafe Fufu, another under-HDB Italian restaurant serving up wood-fired sourdough pizzas.
Their pizza selection is decent, with prices ranging from $14+ to $36+. We tried the Pizza Salami ($18+/$28+) during our visit, which is essentially a crispy tomato-based pizza drizzled in oregano-infused olive oil and finished with thin slices of salami. For a seafood alternative, get the Pizza Fufu ($20+/$30+), which comes with a coriander pesto base, fresh tiger prawns, and semi-dried tomatoes.

Hundred Acre Creamery is another ice cream and waffle spot that opens till late. They have five outlets at the time of writing, and three of them—Bedok, Tampines, and Clementi—accept CDC Vouchers.
A Single Scoop of gelato is affordably priced at $4.50 here, while a Double Scoop costs $8.50. If you’re having it on the go, enjoy it in their house-made Rosemary Cone ($1.30). But if you’re dining in, consider getting their sweet or savoury waffles. There’s Coconut Pandan Mochi ($7) for those with a sweet tooth, or you can go for the Truffle Cheese ($9) for a savoury twist. There’s also the classic Original Belgian ($6) if you want something simple.

Another Bukit Merah gem is Kyuukei Coffee, a cosy Japanese-inspired cafe with coffee and toasties. P.S. It’s a quick walk from Rookie’s Coffee Shop!
They offer the lesser-seen Cortado ($5.80) here, which combines equal amounts of espresso and lightly steamed milk. Alternatively, consider the Flat White ($6) or Dirty Latte ($7.50) for something extra creamy. We recommend pairing your drink with one of the toasties: Vegemite ($8), Mortadella ($15), or Brisket Pesto ($22).

Use your CDC Vouchers at NOSH’s Sembawang outlet to enjoy massive fish and chips bigger than a forearm. The popular bistro serves up a range of Western fare—pasta, burgers, and steak are just some of the items on the menu.
The bistro’s menu is expansive, but it’s still known for its fish and chips. You can order a regular Halibut & Chips for $25.90++, which gives you a crispy halibut fillet paired with sidewinders, mesclun salad, and tartar sauce. For a unique experience, consider the XL Fish & Chips ($79.90++) that feeds at least four diners. A huge tray comes with 750g of halibut, sidewinders, mesclun salad, and five different sauces, including tartar, sriracha mayo, truffle mayo, and a signature cream sauce.

Make full use of your CDC Vouchers at No Horse Run Cafe in Yishun or Ang Mo Kio, whichever is nearer to you. If distance isn’t of concern, head down to their Yishun outlet as there’s a value-for-money promotion with mains priced under $10. Prices change time to time, so we encourage you to check with the staff first.Â
Out of the five mains on offer, the Fish N Chips is a hot pick. A huge plate features crispy, deep-fried fish paired with a generous serving of skinny fries and a side of tartar sauce. The Mac N Cheese and Signature Carbonara are equally popular options. FYI, every main comes with a free scoop of gelato!

Adorably named Waff Waff! is the latest addition to Ang Mo Kio’s cafe scene, and true to their name, this spot specialises in cream waffles.Â
There are four non-dairy cream waffle flavours here, with Strawberry Cream ($8) and Oreo Cream ($7.50) being the more popular picks. For something classic, get the Original ($6) with some gelato, or add $1 to enjoy their Mochi or Nian Gao waffles instead. A Single Scoop costs $4.50, but if you’d like to get it with waffles, there’s the slightly cheaper Single Scoop + Waffle ($9.80) set, which saves you $0.70. There’s a separate drinks menu too—Oolong Milk Tea ($4.50) and Passion Fruit Green Tea ($5.60) are some that caught our attention.
