Best mochi desserts in Singapore
The mochi trend has taken a life of its own. Today, the Japanese rice cake can be found in all shapes and forms, from corissant egg tarts to chewy doughnuts. We’ve curated a list of 13 places to get the best mochi desserts in Singapore.
1. Swish Rolls
In case you didn’t know, homegrown bakery Swish Rolls became popular after rolling out their NYC-inspired cream croissants a few years ago. They have continued launching a creative lineup of bakes and bread, including the popular series of veggie-shaped buns and mochi croissant egg tarts. Speaking of mochi egg tarts, you can still get it at $2.50 each for the plain flavour, while the Mochi Brownies Nutella Croissant Egg Tart is priced at $4. Â

3. Warabimochi Kamakura
When Warabimochi Kamakura opened in 2024, there was a snaking long queue at their first outlet in Holland Village. While most flocked to the store to get the highly raved warabimochi, a lot of customers ended up loving the Warabimochi Drinks, available in seven different flavours. Out of the lot, the Strawberry Yogurt (from $9.90), Black Sesame Milk (from $7.90), and Tenku No Hojicha (from $6.90) are steady sellers. The Strawberry Yogurt, for instance, features two warabimochi bases: strawberry crush and kuromitsu crush. It’s then finished with creamy Hokkaido Yotsuba milk and fresh whipped cream!

4. Mister Donut
Japan-famous Mister Donut has more than 900 outlets in the country alone and nine branches in Singapore at the time of writing. They are known for their delicious Pon De Ring, AKA Japanese-style doughnuts made with tapioca flour, which gives the doughnuts a texture similar to mochi. If you don’t know what to get, the Pon De Ring Chocolate ($2.50) is a great place to start; you get a chewy doughnut with a chocolatey glaze that doesn’t taste artificial. There’s also the Singapore-exclusive Strawberry Chocolate ($2.50), a sweet treat boasting a soft, airy texture.

5. Butter Bread
Back in 2022 when we tried Butter Bread‘s Matcha Mochi Scone ($6), we were impressed by how the bitter matcha notes paired well with the soft and stretchy rice cake. While this particular bake is no longer on the menu, they’ve replaced it with the Mochi Madeleines (six for $12), featuring buttery madeleines packed with mochi within. There’s also the Orh Nee Mochi Croissant ($6), starring a beautifully layered pastry filled with orh nee paste and mochi chunks. Do note that their variations of bakes change from time to time, so make sure you visit their website to stay updated.Â

6. Jiababa
A popular home-based business to check out is Jiababa, known for their mochi-stuffed bagels inspired by Taiwan. You might have seen these mini baked bagels popping up on your IG feed, featuring a wide range of colourful fillings all made from scratch without added refined sugars or oil. Do take note that Jiababa’s bagels lean towards soft and spongy—unlike the classic New York-style bagels that have a hard crust and chewy middle.
Slots are limited and new flavours are launched almost every week. At the time of writing, they have the Brownie Biscoff Bagels—one bagel comes sandwiched with a Biscoff ganache and dark chocolate brownie, while the other features taro paste, dark chocolate mochi, and Biscoff ganache.

9. MuYoo
When done correctly, mochi is irresistibly soft and chewy. That’s what we encountered at MuYoo, a popular bakery that does mochi-filled buns really well. Their Sesame Walnut QQ ($3) boasts an IG-worthy mochi pull matched with an earthy black sesame filling. There’s also Purple Potato QQ ($3), loaded with purple sweet potato paste and stretchy mochi.Â

Formerly an online business, Xiao Ge Ge now operates as a dessert kiosk in Chinatown selling XXL mochi stuffed with flavoured creams. Their menu is relatively expansive with plenty of snowball mochi, crepe rolls, and cake boxes to choose from. The snowball mochi category alone sees 10 different flavours such as Matcha Oreo ($4.50), Ferrero Rocher ($4.50), and Musang King ($7.20). For something interesting, we recommend the cake box lineup, where you get a beautifully layered cake comprising cream, mochi, and a topping of your choice. Flavours include Mango ($9.80), Strawberry ($10.80), Taro Tiramisu ($13.80) and more!

For uber soft and QQ mochi with old-school fillings, visit Little Red Dot Bakery, a hidden gem in Commonwealth. The under-HDB bakery caters to the elderly living in the area, so the bakes are softer and more affordable than most big brands. A must-try is the Red Bean Mochi (price TBD), made with chewy mochi and a housemade red bean paste that isn’t too sweet.
The mochi breads are made fresh daily in the morning and tend to sell out before noon. We encourage yo to drop by early in the day!
