Creme brûlée, macaron, soufflé, tiramisu, madeleine… Desserts are not only the best food for the soul, they have the loveliest names that touch the heart too! It is no secret that we love desserts and over the past few years, we have tried many desserts from restaurants, cafes, patisseries and bakeries. Some are life-changing, some are mind-blowingly out of the world, some take our breath away…

Well, whatever they are, they are not to be missed. Here is our guide on Singapore’s 50 Must Try Desserts.

The desserts are not ranked in any order, and we will update this guide from time to time when we discover new desserts that are worthy to be listed.



ANTOINETTE PATISSERIE ANTOINETTE EARL GREY CHOCOLATE CAKE

Antoinette Patisserie has an impressive range of desserts like Mont Blanc, Le Royale, Saint Honoré l’ Amour, Strawberry Shortcake, and Charlotte, but our favourite is the namesake creation, Antoinette – a milk chocolate mousse infused with earl grey tea.

BELLA PIZZA TIRAMISU

Bella Pizza at Robertson Quay has been around for years, and it is one of the more under-rated Italian restaurants in town. What we love, besides the excellent pizzas and pastas, is the Tiramisu (S$9).

CARPENTER & COOK PASSIONFRUIT MERINGUE TART

One of our favourite dessert places in Singapore, Carpenter & Cook is a charming vintage home store and artisan bakery café located in the west. It has a slew of delicious desserts like the carrot cake, lemon tart, and lemon drizzle cake, but its Passionfruit Meringue Tart is in a completely different league, and so good that it has won our loyalty.

CIEL PATISSERIE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

The Hougang neighbourhood may seem like an unlikely place to find a French patisserie, but that is exactly where Ciel Patisserie is located. Unassuming but very surprising, this small patisserie has a wholesome range of cakes (S$4.80 – S$5.80), and tarts (S$4.20), but what you must try is its cloud-light fluffy Strawberry Shortcake.

CLUB STREET SOCIAL NUTELLA BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING

The first time we had the Nutella Bread & Butter Pudding (S$11) from Club Street Social, it was underwhelming – the pudding was too dry and there was nothing to shout home about it. After trying it again recently, it was so much better. Topped with a scoop of ice cream and doused in nutella, the bread and butter pudding was moist and delightful.

DRURY LANE

With several desserts like nutella chocolate tart, carrot cake, and salted caramel tart on rotation, you will be spoiled silly at Drury Lane. We love their Candy Bar Pie (S$5) – which is actually more like a tart made of salted caramel, peanut butter nougat, with a chocolate glaze.

Drury Lane also has several muffins – matcha, peanut butter, banana & walnut – in its repertoire. What makes the muffins special is that you can pay-as-you-wish. Get your coffee fix here and grab a muffin or two.

Maple & Market is a new addition to the Old Airport Road neighbourhood and surely a hidden gem. Good coffee, delicious waffles, lovely cakes, gorgeous displays – this charming cafe fully utilised the small space and ticked all the right boxes.

Of all the cakes available, the Rose Cake with raspberry cream cheese (S$5.50) and Gula Melaka with kaya cream cheese impressed us the most.
