Best cafes for dessert in Singapore to satisfy your cravings
1. Awfully Chocolate Experience Cafe
The Awfully Chocolate Experience Cafe has opened with a bang – or should we say, a melt? The star of the show is undeniably the world’s first chocolate raclette wheel. Try your hand at carving your slice from the wheel, which is gently melted on top of your plated dessert for a decadent treat.
At the heart of the Experience Cafe lies what the brand proudly dubs the Singapore chocolate experience. Here, the magic happens right before your eyes as skilled pastry chefs freshly fudge the original All Chocolate Cake in real-time, artfully toss the 100% Awfully Chocolate Muah Chee in chocolate peanut soil, and roll the delightful Cocoa Kueh Dadar. Plus, the cafe also serves a charming twist on a classic beverage with its bespoke caffeine-free cacao tea series.

2. 2am: dessert bar
If we had to choose our fave dessert chefs in Singapore, Janice Wong would be one of our top picks. Her dessert cafe, 2am: dessert bar, is a Holland Village mainstay that has long drawn the crowds. A treat for the eyes and palate, step inside this elegant space for a taste of creations like chocolate praline pop rocks cake and strawberry caprese. If you fancy a tipple, pair them with boozy concoctions like Rosencherry, a white rum cordial with botanical spirits, lemon, cherry, and rose water.

We’re not joking when we say these brownies are the bomb diggity. They’re wonderfully fudgy, rich and moist!

Indulge in a box filled with amazing flavours like triple chocolate, salted caramel, peanut butter and Nutella. No regrets.

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.
