If you're in the mood for waffles, these amazing cafes in Singapore will serve you sweet and savoury renditions of the warm, fluffy treat.
There’s always a season and occasion for waffles. Whether it’s a breakfast stack topped with a scoop of ice cream and fruits or a Southern-style savoury buttermilk waffle with good ol’ fried chicken. Here’s where to get your waffle fix in Singapore – we have a feeling you might be bolting out of the door to get some pretty soon.
Where to get the best waffles in Singapore
1. Creamier
Creamier is a beloved hangout for waffles and ice cream in Singapore. Its popular golden waffles, which are handmade in small batches, are a must-order item. They’re frequently sold out if you arrive too late! If you manage to snag a serving, be sure to add a scoop of ice cream to it. We love bestsellers like roasted pistachio and sea salt gula melaka.
Creamier, multiple locations including Toa Payoh and Tiong Bahru
2. Sunday Folks
The legendary ice cream parlour may have closed its Chip Bee Gardens outlet, but it’s alive and breathing at its Ion Orchard space shared with fellow local brand Bynd Artisan. Swing by when the mood strikes to enjoy stunning golden waffles topped with ice cream flavours like Earl Grey lavender. Oh, and you can also bring home those famous waffles in frozen form if you’d like!

3. Apiary
We’re big fans of the ice cream and sorbets at Apiary, all the more so when they’re served atop delicious waffles. Plus, we love how there aren’t any artificial flavours or colourings added to the products. The menu is ever-changing, so pop by to try something new from a revolving roster of flavours like Ferrero Rocher, fresh mint, brown butter and pecan, blue milk, matcha and more. Plunk your scoop of choice on freshly made delicious brown butter waffles with maple syrup and chocolate sauce for the ultimate decadent dessert.

4. Holy Cow Creamery
We know you’ll probably come here for the freshly churned ice cream, but trust us when we say you’ll stay for the waffles. For something unique, try the charcoal waffles. Each serving is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, meaning it’ll soak up all that amazing flavour from your ice cream. All we can say is… holy cow.

5. Revelry
If you’re a huge waffle fan, head to this Lorong Kilat cafe in Singapore. Revelry is famous for its crispy chicken and waffles topped with maple syrup and deep-fried chicken thighs. But if you’re in the mood for a big brunch, get the heaping plate of waffles served with eggs, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms and bacon. Wash it all down with a warm cuppa joe – mmm, perfection!

7. Nassim Hill Bakery Bistro Bar
Tucked away in the Tanglin Post Office building, this bistro is located at the edge of Orchard Road. It may be an extra bus ride from the MRT station, but it’s worth the extra journey for fabulous bakes and brunch plates. If you’re here for the waffles, order the cheddar cheese bacon one served with chive sour cream. Or get the wholemeal Belgian waffles topped with your choice of kransky sausage, bacon, or Virginia ham. Dessert lovers can try the banana and chocolate waffles that comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
