Dessert Places!

Local MediaCorp artistes Felicia Chin and Sora Ma have teamed up to open their first joint F&B venture - The Mama Shop, in the Old Police Operational Headquarters. This retro-themed cafe situated amidst the tranquility of Pearl Hill Terrace provides a chill space for friends to catch up and reminisce over old-school Ipoh white coffee, local desserts, waffles and burgers. It is not the most accessible cafe, but for a quiet respite from the busy city (or maybe even a chance to meet these ladies in person), it may be worth the trip.

Newly opened Two Bakers is an artisanal bakery cafe serving up specialty coffee using blends from Strangers' Reunion, sweet cakes and savoury food. Using only French butter and top notch ingredients, their pastries are made fresh daily by Le Cordon Bleu Paris trained chefs. Bestsellers include their salted caramel éclair, Le Chocolat Noir and moist carrot cake. Their strawberry shortcake is also delightfully refreshing and perfect for a tea-time dessert. For more savoury options, you can go for various brunch options, beef stew, Asian pulled-pork sandwich, or soups. (But of course, end with dessert!)

North Bridge Road is now greeted by the presence of multiple new ice cream parlours, one being the very new Twenty Grammes. Besides homemade ice cream, waffles and coffee, they also offer a selection of tarts and cakes to satisfy your dessert cravings. Try their banoffee pie and hazelnut dacquiose recommended by Tastemaker Jennifer Yeo, and their yummy honey scotch ice cream. We ought to count our lucky stars that in hot, humid Singapore, we sure don't have a lack of cool-me-down ice cream parlours!

Start the countdown to Christmas by indulging in Rabbit Owl Depot's signature Snowflake Waffles. This newly opened, industrial-themed cafe at North Bridge Road is an ice cream parlour dedicated to serving quality ice cream made only with the freshest ingredients. Their Snowflake Waffles ($9.50 with a scoop of ice cream) are crisp, fluffy and prettily dusted with icing sugar. Their earl grey and pistachio ice creams come as recommended pairings with those great waffles by our Burpple users. This place should definitely feature on your waffle-hopping list!
