Best ice cream waffles in Singapore
One of the most inviting things about ice cream stores is the toasty aroma of freshly made waffles. 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.
Crispy, brown waffles. Rich and creamy gelato. That’s really all you need for an indulgent break at any time of the day. To save you the trouble of looking for ice cream parlours to visit, here are 30 cafes for ice cream and waffles, including one that has savoury waffles too!

This quirky cafe will surely satisfy ice cream fans. The Milky Way serves ice cream ($3.50) that’s rich and aromatic. Their signature flavours include Smurf (butterscotch flavour), Sicilian Pistachio, and Mao Shan Wang Durian. What really caught my attention was the fact that Smurf does not contain any artificial colouring! The cafe uses blue butterfly pea flowers to create a rich blue hue. Let’s not forget the crisp waffles ($5) that are surprisingly buttery inside.

For those who still can’t decide, try their latest anniversary-special dish─Speculoos Biscoff Waffles.
