Whether you’re a chocolate or vanilla fan, or want it soft serve-style, on a waffle, in a cone, cup, or sandwich, we’ve got your cravings covered with the best ice cream in Singapore.
Can you really say no to ice cream in Singapore? Indulging in this icy-cold goodness has come a long way since messily horking down raspberry ripple ice cream on top of coloured bread from the ice cream stand uncle. Today, parlours specialising in the sweet treat – and its classic and whacky flavours – are aplenty in Singapore. So forget the calories (we’ll take that extra visit to the gym, any day), be a discerning ice cream enthusiast and drop by these spots around the neighbourhood for 100 per cent satisfaction. Fair warning: it’s gonna get messy!
Lickety SG
If you’ve got a soft spot for all things pastel, Lickety SG is your nirvana. You’ll be able to spot the bright pastel blue door from afar. Enter the ice cream parlour, order yourself a ‘bouquet’ of egg waffles with flavours of your choice (we see you, lavender honey, gula melaka coconut, avocado chocolate and earl grey) and take a picture for the ‘gram.
Lickety SG, 34 Bussorah St, Singapore 199452
Little Damage
Hailing from Los Angeles, this iconic soft-serve ice cream brand is ready to give your IG feed a pop of colour. Little Damage is often raved for poppin’ blue, black and pink ice cream colours but it’s big on flavour too. Try flavours like coffee caramel, white chocolate, unicorn tears (a hit with the kids) and the dairy-free chocolate and peanut butter banana for a vegan-friendly option. The ice cream is served in a massive cup but we’ll take the goth-chic charcoal waffle cone, any day. The petite outlet at Wheelock Place even has a photobooth, and merchandise like tote bags, pins, water bottles and T-shirts for grabs.
Little Damage, 501 Orchard Rd, #B1-05A Wheelock Place, Singapore 238880
Kind Kones
Here’s one way to treat yourself and be kind to your body (and the planet). Using only 100% fresh and natural ingredients – sans preservatives, refined sugar, artificial flavouring and all those nasties – Kind Kones offers great alternatives to the sugary dessert. Offering a bevy of fun flavors such as cookie butter, cherry pie, black forest and charcoal vanilla, Kind Kones proves that vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free ice cream can taste just as good too! You’d never notice the difference. Psst… bring your own containers to get 50 cents off the bill.
Kind Kones, Forum The Shopping Mall, 583 Orchard Road Singapore 238884
Woah Protein Ice Cream
Oh, look at that? It’s Singapore’s first protein ice cream! This local ice cream brand ticks all the right boxes for a healthier option – think high protein, low calories, low carbohydrates and low sugar. Woah Protein Ice Cream comes in pints featuring three signature flavours, strawberry, chocolate and salted caramel. What more do you need?
Woah Protein Ice Cream, Marina One The Heart #B2-17; Raffles Place MRT Xchange, #B1-19 and selected Fairprice outlets
Creamier
You’ve probably heard the sad news about the closure of Creamier’s quaint Toa Payoh outlet. Not all hope is lost as you can find its famed flavours (we’ll take that sea salt gula melaka, any day) at the Gillman Barracks and Tiong Bahru outlets. For those who’ve not tried Creamier, let us fill you in: made in small batches, you’ll find a rotating menu of nostalgic flavours, like the creamy little white rabbit (does the old-school sweet with edible ‘paper’ ring a bell?) to well known flavours with a twist like orange milk chocolate. Always, always get the home-made waffles. We think it’s one of the fluffiest in town.
Creamier, 5a Lock Road, Singapore 108927; 78 Yong Siak St, #01-18 Singapore 163078
Salted Caramel
Dessert after supper? Yes, we live for that kind of thing. And if you live in the Upper Thomson area, a visit to Salted Caramel is how it’s done. The ice cream is egg-free and made in-house daily. Turn to ‘em for unique flavour combos like caramel and espresso, Horlicks Tim Tam and peppermint honey. If you’re too lazy to get out of the house, Salted Caramel can deliver a pint right to your doorstep. Oh, and brownie points for opening till 2am.

With all dairy products pasteurised right in the kitchen, you can expect a rich and creamy consistency and a big smile on your face while having ‘em.

Moosh SG
Imagine desserts like ondeh ondeh and nutella brownie cheesecake whipped into soft serve…that’s exactly what you’ll get at Moosh SG. The portion sizes are on the bigger side so it’s good for sharing. You’ll want to finish it quickly though as it melts pretty fast.
Moosh SG, 44 Haji Lane, Singapore 189237
The Ice Cream & Cookie Co.
Know what’s even better than ice cream? An ice cream cookie sandwich. The makers behind this brilliant combo offer flavours like toasted marshmallow (brown sugar cookies with hand-torched marshmallow ice cream), English earl (lemon zest cookies with earl grey tea ice cream), and milk and cookies (chocolate chip cookies with Madagascan vanilla bean ice cream ice cream). And if you want more, the selection of tub flavours has gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options for a guilt-free indulgence.

Kooks Creamery stands out from its contenders thanks to the decadent molten lava cookies.
