Waffles are such a versatile food. You can have them sweet or savoury, and you can have them any time of the day.
Although they can be found everywhere, not all waffles are created equal. The perfect waffle is fragrant, light, with just the right amount of crunch. From taro waffles to Korean fried chicken waffles, here is a list of the best waffles in Singapore. Try not to salivate while reading.
For those with a sweet tooth,
1. Hatter Street Bakehouse & Cafe
Hatter Street Bakehouse & Cafe is probably one of the more underrated cafes selling waffles in Singapore. Their waffles are baked to the perfect level of crispiness, while remaining moist within, and the texture of the waffle is consistent throughout.
The Pandan Ice Cream with Gula Melaka Sauce Whoa’ffles ($9.50) was rich with local flavours. Instead of honey or chocolate sauce, Hatter Street drizzles Gula Melaka over the waffles. The Pandan Ice Cream was a nice accompaniment, with its light pandan fragrance. The waffle was perfect for soaking up the mixture of Gula Melaka and the melted scoop of creamy ice cream.

2. The Cold Pantry
The Cold Pantry’s tower of darkness has been appearing on everyone’s Instagram feeds recently.
The Chocolate Root Beer Float Waffle ($12) is an aesthetically pleasing dessert creation. The rectangular waffle comes with a chocolate chip cookie, and an ash grey charcoal vanilla soft serve to top it all off. The charcoal soft serve had a hint of root beer in every mouthful, which did not overwhelm the original vanilla taste.
Because Red Velvet is so 2015, The Cold Pantry has taken their waffles to the next level by introducing Pink Velvet Waffles with Baileys Coffee Ice Cream and Sea Salt Caramel drizzle ($13.50). The rose-infused waffle and slightly bitter Baileys Coffee Ice Cream combo is a sure-win on two fronts: your stomach and your Instagram feed.

3. Froth
Served with one scoop of gourmet ice cream, the Taro Waffles ($15.90) has a rich taro taste, with beautiful purple hues. The waffle screams “Taro Heaven” as there was taro infused within the batter, and a generous spread of yam paste all over the buttery waffles. While the ice cream is nothing too special, the waffles more than made up for it.

4. Wimbly Lu
Wimbly Lu is practically synonymous with waffles as it was one of the pioneers behind the waffles craze in Singapore a few years ago. Their new outlet, Wimbly Lu Tyrwhitt, is located in a cosy hipster space in the Jalan Besar – Lavender region.
While the waffles may look ordinary at first glance, you know what they say–do not judge a book by its cover. The waffles here are fluffy and light. One huge plus point is that the waffles here taste exactly the same each time you visit. You can choose either a single scoop ($8.50) or a double scoop ($11.50) of ice cream to go with the waffle.
The Waffle with Salted Caramel and Honey Cinnamon Ice Cream is best for a treat yo’ self day. The Honey Cinnamon Ice Cream is a delightful change of pace from the usual flavours. It’s sweet, rich and creamy, with a distinct cinnamon flavour and a subtle hint of spiciness. Both ice cream flavours balance each other well, with neither overpowering the other.

6. Revelry
For those of you who prefer your waffles savoury instead of sweet, Revelry is the place for you. They serve ‘Burffles’, a cross between burgers and waffles. The Revelry Signature Burffle ($18) comes with juicy beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese sandwiched between crispy waffles. The waffle quarters are crisp and light, making the dish less heavy on the stomach.
The Waffles Royale ($17.50) is a spin on the classic all-day breakfast favourite, Eggs Royale, but with a waffle in place of the usual English muffin. The waffle has a light, fluffy texture and with its subtle flavour, pairs nicely with the runny poached eggs and creamy Hollandaise.

Imagine old school waffles but with chunks of succulent meat piled into it. That’s what Griddy specialises in – savory waffles for adventurous foodies.
The Griddy Burger ($9.90) is generously stuffed with a juicy beef patty and black pepper mushrooms. With a relatively thin and buttery waffle, this waffle burger hybrid is a real crowd-pleaser.
Alternatively, try the Ocean Catch ($7.90). The golden brown fish fillet is tender, with bonito flakes and mayonnaise scattered and splattered over it. Fish and Chips lovers should definitely give this a try as the Ocean Catch is a unique twist on savoury waffles.

8. The Beast
True to its name, The Beast serves a monstrous serving of fried chicken, paired with waffles.
The Chicken & Waffles ($20) is served with bourbon maple syrup at the side, which you can drizzle to your own preference. The tender chicken thigh is soaked in buttermilk for 24 hours, creating a sweet layer on top of the juicy meat. The waffle is intentionally made lighter so as not to overwhelm your palate. Through the infusion of the bourbon maple syrup, this creative combination is worth every cent and stomach space.

9. 23 Jumpin
Am I the only one who eats pizza without the crust? For those of you who shun the pizza crusts like I do, why not try the waffle ‘pizza’ at 23 Jumpin?
The Pizza-Waffle ($14) comes in 2 variations: Mushroom and Hawaiian. The mushrooms on top of the chewy Mushroom Waffle are drenched in melted cheesy goodness. The Hawaiian Waffle, on the other hand, delivers a tinge of sweetness with every bite due to the pineapples scattered over a generous bed of cheese.
And if you want the best of both worlds? Simply opt for the half-half option of Mushroom and Hawaiian!

10. Stateland Asian-Fusion Cafe
Many of you may know Stateland Asian-Fusion Cafe for their Red Velvet or S’mores Waffles, but how many of you have tried their newest creation–the Korean Fried Chicken Waffle?
The chicken was nicely fried, with a crispy outer layer and tender meat on the inside. Paired with a waffle that was tossed in cinnamon, this is a dish that we daresay even the Koreans can’t re-create.
Also, the kimchi slaw that is served on the side is so rich with flavour, you’ll be wishing there was more of it!
