12 Churros In Singapore That’ll Satisfy Any Sweet Tooth

4th December 2015

About Churros


The origins of this European dessert is a fuzzy one, some claim that the Portugese brought a recipe for fried dough or our you tiao from their travels to Asia, while some believe that Spanish shepherds originally made it as a portable snack. One thing is clear though, it’s delicious, and demand for it is hot in Singapore.

Churros have enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent times. Gone are the days where churros are eaten plain or with just icing sugar. Nowadays, churros are getting fancy, dressed in various coatings and sauces, and even coming in flavours with a local twist such as ondeh ondeh. Here’s our shortlist of the 12 best churros places in Singapore.


1.Churro101 츄러스 “Better Than Boyfriend”

The latest offering in the churros scene in Singapore, Churro101 is actually a popular chain from Korea. They currently have two outlets in Singapore – the first in Bugis+ and the other in 313 Somerset. The open kitchen concept allows you to have a peek at how the wonderfully tasty churros are made, then instantly regret it after watching them get dipped in burning hot oil. Good news though, Churro101 does not use any butter in their churros, making it less sinful. They have gimmicky slogans such as “Better than boyfriend” and “Keep calm and eat churros”, but truth be told, these churros do not need any of these gimmicks to sell themselves! Prices range from $3.30 for a plain churros to $7.80 if you want to pair your churros with soft-serve ice-cream.

Opening hours: Daily, 10am – 10pm
Address: 201 Victoria Street #04-01, Bugis Plus, Singapore 188067 / 313 Orchard Road #B3-49, 313@Somerset, Singapore 23889

With as many as five outlets all over Singapore, Churros Factory is a convenient place to get your churros craving satisfied no matter  where you are.  They’re renowned for their churros with a local twist – think pandan flavoured churros with Gula Melaka dip ($4 for 3 pieces, $7 for 6 pieces). Oh yeah, look out for their promotional flavours! Their latest special was a Seasalt Charcoal Churro with Caramel drizzle and ice-cream, and if you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out. If you’re feeling the churro fever this holiday, check out their churros at Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay from 27th November through December. They will be selling a promotional flavour of strawberry cheesecake only at this event!

3. Grub

Literally situated in a park, this is the best place to go for churros before burning off the calories by jogging around the scenic Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. The churros here are a signature dessert of Grub. It comes with two sauces- chocolate and a tangy crème anglaise. I prefer the latter for it’s sweet and has a hint of vanilla. If you’re a fan of something sweet or all things vanilla, this is the dip for you! Priced at $9, you get a substantial amount of churros. Hurry now, run along!

Opening hours: Mon – Fri: 11am – 3pm / 530pm – 1030pm, Sat – Sun: 9am – 4pm / 530pm – 1030pm
Address: 510 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1, Singapore 569983

This is the place for a romantic date. The dimly-lit eatery touted as a bar that serves dessert has a nice ambience. The churros here cost a reasonable $5, but if you want to impress your date, order the chocolate dipping pots together with the churros. The pots come in three various flavours – dark chocolate salted caramel, milk chocolate tonka, and white chocolate lavender. Each flavour costs $6.

Opening hours:  Tue – Fri: 3pm – 2am, Sat – Sun: 2pm – 2am

Max Brenner is better known for their chocolate, and if there’s one thing that goes well with churros, it’s chocolate. Their Crystal Sugar Churro Fondue is a heavenly rendition of churros served with muddled raspberries and a choice of two dips among pure dark, milk or white chocolate. This is the most pricey option on this list at $16.

One of the most popular cafes for brunch and coffee among Singapore’s café-going crowd, Common Man Coffee Roasters also serves a mean churro. Aptly named Common Man Churros ($12), the sugar-dusted churros are soft and fluffy on the inside with a doughy texture that comes with a luscious and rich chocolate sauce.

This brand has no physical stall. Instead, it has an online store that sells churros as well as other confectionaries. In addition, it does pop-up events. Recently, they were at the SG Heart Map Festival at the Marina Bay floating platform and Illumi Run. Their churros are usually separated into three types – Barcelona (churro bites with sugar), Madrid (churro bites with choice of sauce), and Singapore (pandan churro bites with gula melaka dip). Bakes and Crafts have a regular following who keep track regarding their whereabouts and what event they will be at next. Prices vary depending on the event, from $4.20 to $5.
