From its creamy texture to its unique flavor profiles, there’s just something irresistible about a good scoop of ice cream. And let’s face it, Singapore’s tropical heat becomes so much more bearable with these sweet creations.
My sisters, husband, and I are obsessed with gelatos, ice cream, frozen yogurt or basically, anything cold and sweet. Through our ice cream escapades, we’ve uncovered some of Singapore’s best spots to satisfy your cravings. Bring a friend or loved one along because, as they say, ice cream tastes better when shared.
#1: KOOKS CREAMERY
Kooks Creamery takes ice cream to another level with their molten lava cookies. Imagine a warm, gooey lava cookie paired with a creamy scoop of ice cream. Choose from flavors like Blue Chai Hokkaido Milk or Brown Butter, and pair them with a lava cookie for an indulgent dessert that hits all the right spots.

#3: UDDERS
A proud local brand, Udders is all about bold and intense flavors. Think Salted Speculoos and Snickers Mars Honeycomb Vanilla for a rich, chocolatey indulgence. Craving something with a local twist? Try their Asian-inspired flavors like Thai Iced Tea and Kueh Salat. Udders has even expanded its reach to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
My first encounter was at their Upper Thomson outlet with friends, and it’s been a favorite ever since. Tip: pair your scoop with their fluffy waffles for the ultimate treat!

#5: DAYS OF ELIJAH
This hidden gem is run by Elijah Tan, a former landscape architect turned gelato maestro. At Days of Elijah, the treats are inspired by nostalgic flavors such as Haw Flakes, Pulut Hitam, and Pandan & Kaya. It’s a cozy spot worth seeking out for a trip down memory lane.

#6: HONEYCREME
Picture this: Korean organic milk and honeycomb! While other soft-serve options like Milkcow offer stronger flavors, Honeycreme strikes the perfect balance between creamy milkiness and floral sweetness. Surprisingly, this brand hails from Taiwan, but its dreamy soft-serve desserts are every bit as addictive.

#7: BIRDS OF PARADISE
This is my sister’s ultimate favorite (especially the Pistachio flavor), and honestly, I get the hype. Known for their botanically-inspired gelatos, Birds of Paradise offers light and refreshing flavors like Chrysanthemum, Hojicha, and Basil. Made with natural ingredients, these gelatos are as unique as they are delicious.
