If you allow yourself to be drawn by the scent, you’ll find yourself standing in front of an ice cream display next, deciding which flavours to go with your piping hot waffle. You won’t regret it, because your taste buds are in for a treat.

To save you the trouble of looking for ice cream parlours to visit, here are the best cafes for ice cream and waffles in Singapore, including one that has savoury waffles too! We’ve organised them according neighbourhood for ease.

Multiple outlets islandwide

1. Creamier

If there was a competition for the crispiest waffle, I think we have a winner in Creamier Handcrafted Ice Cream and Coffee. Waffles here, with an undeniable crisp exterior and fluffy texture, are served in twos ($7.50). Accompany this with an additional scoop of their freshly churned ice cream ($10.90), produced using only natural quality ingredients such as Tahitian Vanilla Beans and hand-harvested sea salt. You’ll never go wrong with their best-selling ice cream flavours, so check out their Earl Grey Lavender and seasonal Tau Huay (soya bean) ice creams!

2. Three’s A Crowd

Three’s A Crowd plays around with flavours that truly appeal to our local palate, such as the Churros Waffles ($8) that are generously coated with cinnamon sugar and paired with toasted marshmallow and chocolate sauce. Make it extra decadent by topping it up with a scoop of their freshly churned ice cream ($4.30), though we recommend their premium flavours ($5.30) such as the Leegacy Dark Chocolate or Roasted Pistachio.

Many head to Lickers to satisfy their late-night sugar cravings because this ice cream bar opens till 2am daily! On top of its laid-back ambience and cheeky neon decor, they serve ice cream and waffles that are as Instagrammable as its interior. A thick slab of their waffles with a scoop of ice cream costs $8. Look out for some of their more interesting flavours such as Oolong Lavender, Cookie Monster as well as Yakult Oreo. Be prepared to queue especially if you’re heading over after 10pm!

Look out for one of their best-seller, the Persian Prince, which is a blend of almond and saffron. They also managed to transform a typical breakfast item into a delicious gelato flavour─Cereal Milk. Accompany a single scoop of gelato (from $4.20) with a slice of waffle ($5.80) to make this sweet treat even more satisfying.

5. The Humble Scoop

The Humble Scoop specialises in locally inspired gelato flavours that will transport you right back to childhood. A scoop starts at $4, but you can also enjoy a scoop with a waffle for $8. Over 30 flavours are available daily, and they rotate monthly. However, the bestsellers remain a permanent fixture. These include their popular Orh-Bee-Good ($4) and Guava Sourplum ($4). The latter is one we really enjoyed, thanks to how much the tartness of the sour plum shone through. Do note that dine-in isn’t available, so you’ll have to enjoy your dessert to-go.

Another household gelato cafe is Apiary, located in a shophouse along Neil Road. They make all their ice creams and sorbets from scratch, with prices starting at $5 for a single scoop. Blue Milk is their perennial bestseller. The milk-based ice cream is tinted blue thanks to blue pea, and elevated with sea salt. There’s also Sicilian Pistachio ($6), made with real Italian pistachios roasted for extra oomph. Enjoy your ice cream with their classic brown butter waffle for an additional $8.

7. Burnt Cones

Burnt Cones originally opened in Sunset Way end-2020, and it quickly became a hotspot for those looking to satisfy their sugar cravings, with multiple outlets opening islandwide. The cafe is best known for their rich gelato flavours and their house-made cones (of which you can choose the level of crispiness), but they also have waffles if you prefer. Ice creams start at a scoop, of which we highly recommend both the Pistachio and Ube. Their Buttermilk Waffles are great for fans of crispy waffles, as the charred exterior offers some crunch when making way for the pillowy middle. Prices differ according to outlet.
