Best dessert cafes in Singapore to satisfy your cravings
1. Mr Holmes Bakehouse Singapore
Hailing from San Francisco, the inventor of cruffin has finally landed on our sunny shores. Wondering what in the world is a cruffin? Well, it’s a delicious hybrid of croissant and muffin. It’s made of croissant dough and baked in muffin trays. The result? A glorious puffed-up pastry that’s layered and flaky on the outside but moist on the inside. Sugar-dusted and cream-piped, enjoy ‘em in flavours like tiramisu cream, raspberry hibiscus and peanut butter milkshake. Also look forward to other fab bakes like danishes, cookies and cream-stuffed donuts.

Indulge in the iconic soft-serve ice cream that comes in seasonal flavours like strawberry balsamic, malted cereal milk, Milo and more.

3. Windowsill Pies
Available for islandwide delivery.
As its moniker suggests, this dessert cafe specialises in pies. We’re talking flavours like s’mores, banana cognac and strawberry lemon meringue. But our fave has to be the morello sour cherry pie which comes with a sugary butter cookie lattice. Psst: these folks have opened a new branch in the heart of Joo Chiat. Yay for East siders!
Windowsill Pies, multiple locations including Joo Chiat and Haji Lane

The cosy cafe on Jalan Riang does fantastic desserts that’ll be a hit with sugar fanatics. Sink your forks into the root beer cake, s’mores pie, Oreo cheesecake and the decadent molten lava cake. Also, make space for waffles which can be paired with ice cream flavours like salted caramel, honey cinnamon and chocolate truffle.

5. Lickers
Available for islandwide delivery.
A gem of a find, Lickers is the perfect spot for a sweet midnight rendezvous, as it’s open till 2am. You won’t spot any synthetic flavourings or off-the-shelf mixes in the house-made ice cream. We love its wacky flavours such as Yakult oreo and oolong lavender. Yup, we’ve tried the former and let’s just say, we’re sold. If you’re not up to travel all the way to Hougang, the store delivers too!
Lickers, #01-1446, Block 124 Hougang Avenue 1, Singapore 530124
6. Plain Vanilla
Available for islandwide delivery.
Let’s get one thing straight: there’s nothing plain about Plain Vanilla’s cupcakes. The proof is in the batter – only the finest of ingredients like French butter, pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla and bittersweet Belgian chocolate are used. No shortcuts, no preservatives. Pick from bestsellers like peanut butter fudge, chocolate and red velvet.
Plain Vanilla, multiple locations including Tiong Bahru and Cluny Court
7. Creamery Boutique Ice Creams
Available for islandwide delivery.
Contrasting flavours have always been popular – hello, salted caramel and sea salt chocolate cookies. But who would’ve thought the mix of hot and cold desserts could be mind-blowing? To see what all the fuss is about, head to Creamery for its warm lava cookies topped with a scoop of ice cream. Expect the usual cookie flavours like red velvet, chocolate and matcha. But from time to time, you can look forward to seasonal flavours like ondeh ondeh and salted egg yolk lava cookies. Feel free to mix and match your picks to create the ultimate dessert.
Creamery Boutique Ice Creams, 139 Tyrwhitt Road, Singapore 207557
8. Lucia Cakes
Available for islandwide delivery.
We’re not joking when we say these brownies are the bomb diggity. They’re wonderfully fudgy, rich and moist! Having been trained in classical French patisserie at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in London, the owner brings her techniques to the kitchen with desserts baked to perfection. Indulge in a box filled with amazing flavours like chocolate walnut, salted caramel, peanut butter and Nutella. No regrets.
Lucia Cakes, 93A Club Street, Singapore 069461
9. Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery
Available for islandwide delivery.
Craving desserts in Singapore? Look no further. The first in town to spotlight the artisanal sourdough bomboloni – a combination of sourdough and bomboloni – this bakery’s creativity knows no bounds. It’s helmed by Genevieve Lee, runner-up of the first-ever MasterChef Singapore in 2018. Each treat is a light and fluffy flavour bomb, with varieties such as blueberry and lemon thyme, Basque burnt cheesecake, lavender lime mascarpone, hojicha caramel and the OG cinnabombe. Best of all, the brand has opened a physical store at Park Mall, offering cold brew coffee, house-made kombucha and dairy-free tea lattes to complement its bomboloni bites.
Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery, #02-23, Park Mall, 9 Penang Road, Singapore 238459
10. Cake Spade
Available for delivery.
Cake Spade’s phenomenal selection of baked treats might leave your head spinning, so we’ll go ahead and recommend its most interesting creation: tofu cheesecake. This specialty cheesecake is lighter and less sweet than the ones you’re probably familiar with. It features a jelly topping with fresh strawberries, raspberries or peaches encased within. You can also pick a choice of digestive or Oreo bases.
Cake Spade, 83 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088504
