Dark, milk, white—I love all sorts of chocolate. Besides being a great post-meal snack, it is the one flavour that I never shy from when choosing desserts due to its decadence. If you’re like me and can’t do one day without chocolate, these eight chocolate cafes in Singapore that pledge themselves to cacao will make you very happy.
Sip on hot chocolate while enjoying the calm and tranquillity at Laurent’s Café & Chocolate Bar. Located along the Singapore River, the cafe’s famous for their wide variety of cake slices such as the rich Pure Chocolate ($11.80++) and the Chocolate Souffle ($16.50++) which is fluffy and moist.
The cafe also serves up a variety of artisanal cakes and other sweet treats, including whole cakes suitable for special occasions.
