Ami Patisserie is a French-Japanese dessert cafe helmed by a Japanese chef with culinary experiences at two Michelin-starred restaurants. Be ready to splurge here if you’re indulging in their dessert omakase experience! The a la carte menu changes from time to time, but the Smoked Caramel Coffee Choux ($11++) remains a steady seller, featuring a crisp puff loaded with cream infused with their house-roasted coffee blend. There’s also the Tahitian Vanilla Choux ($11++), a seemingly simple pastry packed with a vanilla custard centre that comes with a fun twist—the cream is spiked with Jamaican rum and Indonesian vanilla bean.

If you’re headed to Wisma Atria anytime soon, visit The Awfully Chocolate Experience Cafe, where you’ll find Singapore’s first-ever chocolate raclette wheel. This is similar to a raclette cheese wheel, but you get melted chocolate scraped off and drizzled atop your dessert plates instead of cheese. Our favourite dessert to pair with the melted chocolate was Pisang Pisang ($15++), starring a dense banana cake with a layer of spiced apple filling, then finished with crispy goreng pisang nuggets and toasted walnuts. While you’re there, also give the Chocolate Muah Chee (15++) a try, which spotlights melt-in-the-mouth chocolate warabimochi with a side of peanut powder and chocolate sauce.

We’ve been to plenty of bagel cafes in Singapore and out of the lot, Pancakes And Friends is second to none for its wallet-friendly prices. We enjoyed their open-faced Banana Chocolate ($8) bagel, smeared with a chocolate hazelnut spread, sliced bananas, icing sugar, and cocoa powder. If you’re not a big fan of bagels, order their Hokkaido Milk Pancake ($12) instead; you get a house-made milk cream and muesli bits atop a fluffy souffle pancake, alongside a scoop of Hokkaido milk gelato.
