The cosy cafe is a short seven-minute walk from Jalan Besar MRT Station, so you can catch the last train after your late-night hang.

A single scoop of ice cream goes for $4.50 while a double scoop costs $8. Subsequent scoops go for $3 each. For premium flavours, there’s a $1 top-up per scoop. One popular way to enjoy their ice cream is to have it with a slice of Brownie ($4.50), warmed up slightly for a rich and fudgy texture.

Ice cream flavours range from indulgent picks such as Matcha Gao, Pistachio, and Korean Strawberry Cheesecake to lighter concoctions of Oolong Houjicha and White Chrysanthemum and Goji.

You can also enjoy these frozen treats with Cold Break’s signature Nian Gao Waffle ($7), available in two flavours: Buttermilk and Pandan.

These highly-rated waffles are said to be light and crispy on the outside, with a sticky and chewy middle thanks to the addition of nian gao. Freshly baked to order, they go extremely well with the Asian-inspired ice cream flavours!

You can also get your caffeine fix here, in the form of a Latte ($6), Hojicha Latte ($6), or a refreshing Iced Oolong Lychee ($6.50).
