Updated: Nov 11, 2022

If you’re up for some dainties in the central, Little India boasts distinct cafes that would be perfect to spend your afternoon, undisturbed.

Up for a further sweet treat? Phat Chic Forever is just steps away from the Mustafa Centre, welcoming you with their flamboyant, turquoise, blue, and white decorations with Santorini as the background. Bestowing you with the ambiance in Greece, at least. Not only the shop is vibrant, but its menu is also filled with multicolor desserts too!


2. Aphrodite Waffles & Gelato

Aphrodite Waffles & Gelato is a dessert cafe serving a selection of gelato ice creams and waffles with signature flavors. The café Aphrodite was named after a character in Greek mythology, which denotes lust, beauty, pleasure, passion, and procreation. Aphrodite Waffles & Gelato boasts 12 unique gelatos made in-house! They’re open almost daily till 2 AM, perfect for supper crowds.


3. Doughnut Shack

If you’re looking for some sweet treats while on a diet, Doughnut Shack might just be the ideal place for you to fix that desire! Doughnut Shack highlights a healthier version of doughnuts which are baked, not fried. This means they are lower in calories! The doughnuts are handmade and baked daily. Having the doughnuts baked instead, it had a bread-like texture that was soft with the insides airy and fluffy.


4. Asylum Coffeehouse

Asylum Coffeehouse is nestled in an iconic blue and red heritage shophouse along Jalan Besar (near Petain Road), though the inside is designed modestly, with natural daylight casting in – a quaint and relaxing space. The coffeehouse is designed with the idea to embrace patrons warmly and encourage communication between baristas and staff. Asylum Coffeehouse is able to curate a list of the most spellbinding coffees that utilize innovative processing methods to achieve sensational tasting notes and flavor profiles.


5. Cheeselads

This one’s a personal favorite. If you’re looking to get artisanal cheeseboards, and grazing platters in Singapore, Cheeselads has got you covered. With the cheese carefully curated and paired with flavors that work well together, you’ll definitely save the shop in your to-go cafe list. It is value-for-money as the ingredients are sourced and imported directly from producers and farmhouses around the globe.


6. Obsessive Chocolate Desire (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? Nope! This is for everyone that’s obsessed with chocolate! The name of the café was definitely a head-turner. Yes, it happened to me! That was when I stumbled across Obsessive Chocolate Desire, and I knew I had to get into some of the delectable. OCD was previously located in the hearts of Ang Mo Kio but has now moved to Jalan Besar. A wallet-friendly café that has no categorization of normal and premium flavors like many other ice cream cafés.


7. Three’s A Crowd

It is a pleasant café featuring a selection of ice cream flavors, plus waffles, savory bites & coffee. With Singapore’s scorching weather, there’s no better place to flock to than an ice cream cafe. But, if you’re up for something healthy, they got you covered with their “not-so-sinful” Acai Bowl!


8. Glacier

The owners of Onalu Bagel Haus have created this monochromatic, modern café. This cafe is conveniently situated next to Bendemeer MRT Station on Jalan Besar. Because the entire cafe is white, you can snap Instagram-worthy pictures that have a simple aesthetic, which is a popular style among millennials.


If you need a weekend reset, the sparse decor and the quiet chatter of surrounding customers might be the remedy. To prepare for a hectic week, combine it with a substantial portion of something decadently sweet.
