18 dessert cafes that open past midnight if you’re tired of mookata & hotpot

If you’re looking for a dessert cafe that’s open past midnight, you’re at the right place.

Mookata and hotpot are always popular supper choices amongst nocturnal humans. But sometimes, eating too much meat gets tiresome and you’ll end up with a greasy stomach feeling. For those who fancy chill late-night hangouts with food that’s preferably not too heavy, these 18 dessert cafes will be right up your alley.

The irresistible Shibuya honey toasts from Thailand’s beloved After You Dessert Cafes are certainly worth travelling for, but Wan Wan Thai Cafe is here to satisfy those cravings — without you having to book a plane ticket.

Choose from a variety of honey toast flavours such as Nutella Banana Toast (S$10.90), Strawberry Banana Toast (S$12.90) and even the locally-inspired Kaya Toast (S$8.90). With crispy cubes of bread drenched in sweet honey syrup, this is a combination that’ll never go wrong.

Some of us believe that bingsus are glorified ice kachangs, while some of us stand that it’s a beautiful, tasty work of art. For those that belong to the latter group, you’ll be glad to know that the cafe serves up these icy treats too.

Too many sweets can be nauseating for some. But if you’re the type that lives for the artery-clogging, give-you-cavities kind of sugar-high, the Tittle Tattle Disasters (S$23) will knock your socks off. 

With a maniacal combination of a fluffy Belgian waffle topped with ice cream, macarons, a cone biscuit, marshmallows, Kinder Buenos, strawberries, gem biscuits and finally, icing sugar, this is a treat that’ll keep you up all night.

This is one of the few dessert cafes that open till the wee hours of the morning from Friday to Sunday. Besides specialising in waffles, Tittle Tattle is also known for its vintage theme. Neon-lit signs can be found on its bricked wall interior, and an old school jukebox sits at the corner at the cafe. With chill tunes and good vibes all around, you’re in for a great evening.

Half of the year has passed and if you’ve procrastinated on your 2022’s weight-loss resolution, there’s no harm in putting it off for another day. At Lickers, it’s hard to keep yourself in control when an additional scoop of ice cream on a waffle only costs S$2.50.

The ice cream parlour handcrafts all of its noshes, but Oreo Yakult and Milo Mallow are the ones to try. A Lonely (single scoop) goes for S$3.50, while a Buddy (double scoop) costs S$6. Since it’s difficult to find affordable ice cream places, we say that it’s a night to let loose and just load the scoops up.

It’s been raining cats and dogs recently and if you’re craving a no-nonsense, piping hot bowl of dessert to warm your tummy, Gong He Guan is the way to go. Originating from Hong Kong, this small dessert cafe opens past midnight and serves up authentic traditional desserts. 

Photo: @jonnyboyeats/instagram

An assortment of traditional desserts such as Rock Melon with Sago (S$4.20), Gui Ling Gao (S$6.80), and White Fungus Papaya (S$3.90) can be found on its menu. If you’re feeling under the weather, a bowl of Original Herbal Tea (S$5) ought to do the trick — you can even ask the auntie to add Cough or Sore Throat Powder into the mix.

Since most hawkers and eateries close at 10pm, we can’t get enough of traditional dessert cafes that open past midnight.

Hay Gelato

We know that ice cream and waffles have taken up quite a bit of space in our list, but you can’t blame us when those smooth, creamy and luscious scoops are just waiting to be eaten. Instead of the usual round scoop, at Hay Gelato, a small indentation is made at the top of the ice cream for the staff to add complimentary toppings of your choice.

A total of 12 flavours are offered, but we recommend going for the signature Smoked Hay (S$5.20), where real hay is smoked and infused into a milk gelato, then topped with cocoa nibs.

Forget ice cream, bubble teas are the new comfort food for lonely people up at 2am. It’s a pity that most boba stores close at 10pm — but there’s one that prevails through the night. The Whale Tea’s Rivervale Mall outlet is the only bubble tea dessert store in Singapore that’s not only open past midnight but also operates 24/7.

The first thing that you’ll notice on their menu board is the baby blue colour gradient in their drinks. The blue comes from spirulina (a blue-green algae superfood) and it gives your drink an extra boost of nutrients. 

With such a pretty drink in hand, maybe it isn’t so bad to be lonely after all.

There are two types of people who stay awake past midnight. 1) The nocturnal party animals. 2) People who work round the clock that are forced to become night owls. For the ones who were coerced into living the nightlife, there’ll always be Coffeesmith if you ever need to catch a break.

The Korean coffee chain offers light refreshments such as cakes and brownies, along with Injeolmi toasts and bingsu.

But for a quick pick-me-up, there’s a coffee selection of Cafe Americano (from S$5.50), Cafe Vienna (from S$6.60), and sweeter options such as Sweet Potato Latte (from S$7.50) and Caramel Milk Tea (from S$8).

Time For Thai SG

This is one of those midnight dessert cafes that’ll instantly transport you to +66. The Mango Sticky Rice (S$6.90) at Time For Thai SG is drenched in copious amounts of velvety coconut milk, which makes the rice to cream ratio absolutely perfect.

Other authentic Thai desserts such as Red Ruby (S$6.90) and Tapioca with Coconut Milk (S$5.90) are sold at an affordable price too. But perhaps the best part of this restaurant is that there’s no additional fee for GST and service charge.

Cafe de Muse

If you like cake and bingsu, you’ll have the best of both worlds at Cafe de Muse, a dessert cafe that opens past midnight. Tucked away at Shaw House, this hidden cafe may have gone unnoticed even by the CBD workers.

They serve up a variety of desserts, but the ones to note are the Fresh Melon (S$22) bingsu, which features shaved ice in a carved melon bowl, and The Chocolate Supreme (S$20), a sponge cake enclaved in a chocolate shell.

Served with an indulgent hot chocolate sauce to melt the shell away, a mixed berry compote for a splash of acidity, and vanilla ice cream for a soft creaminess, the dessert gradually reveals itself in a medley of flavours.

Dessert First

We understand that durian is a fruit that’s poison to some, but for the durian lovers, this Durian Snow Ice (S$9.50) at Dessert First is probably everything that you’ve ever asked for. Made with real durian flesh, the fragrant (or pungent) shaved ice is topped with a luscious amount of durian cream and topped with more durian flesh.

Hot desserts such as Gingko Barley (S$4.50), Mango Sago with Pomelo (S$5.80) and Double Boiled Papaya with White Fungus & Almonds (S$4.80) are also on the menu. Since the Hong Kong dessert cafe closes after midnight, it’s also a great after-drinks hangout.

This is one of those local dessert cafes that specialise in a Singaporean favourite typically served at banquets and Teochew restaurants — Yam Paste With Pumpkin & Gingko (S$4.80), otherwise known as orh nee. Besides that, there’s also MSW Durian Mousse (S$9), which is made with the flesh of real Mao Shan Wang, one of the most highly sought-after durians in Singapore.
