They are welcome any time, and Singapore’s food scene is brimming over with cute and contemporary cafés with a smorgasbord of sweets, ready to be enjoyed and devoured. Read on to discover where you can satisfy your sweet tooth this February.
Sweet Hut
If sweet cravings hit you at midnight and there’s nothing in your fridge or pantry, don’t fear! Head out to Sweet Hut, Geylang’s newest and coolest late-night café that stays open until 4am! With quirky interiors inspired by Korean dramas, Sweet Hut specialises in traditional desserts with a modern appeal.

Milk Singapore
Craving something sweet and want something refreshing to wash it down with? Check out Milk Singapore, a stroopwafels and bubble tea kiosk along Arab street. For those not familiar with the Dutch delicacy, stroopwafels are a wafer biscuit topped with different sweet flavourings, and they are deadly delicious.
Making a distinction between their stroopwafels and store-bought variants, Milk Singapore’s are bigger and extra crisp, a sign of freshness. The stroopwafels are available coated in four delicious toppings—Matcha Oreo, Biscoff White, S’mores or Rocher (S$4 each). Take your pick!

Rrooll
Rrooll, the recently opened dessert shop in Jewel Changi Airport specialising in all manners of cinnamon buns, is definitely on a roll. Offering eight cinnamon roll flavours ranging from their Classic Cinnamon (S$3.70) to their more adventurous Sweet Cheese (S$3.40) and the decadent Hazelnut Rocher (S$3.70).
While Rrooll doesn’t accept dine-in customers, there are standing tables in the basement area where you can devour your sweet snack before catching your flight, though you don’t have to be flying to taste Rrooll’s amazing cinnamon rolls.

Brotherbird Coffeehouse
Brotherbird Coffeehouse is a familiar name in the café scene. Now, after closing its doors about a year ago, it’s back, boasting a revamped menu with new items. Though the coffee house offers great brunch items, folks know it as the place to indulge in some seriously satisfying desserts.
The chewy, rice-flour Mochi Donut (S$15) and the crispy Fried Croissant (S$15), topped with soft-serve vanilla ice cream, are returning crowd favourites.
