Cold Break: New Cafe With Nian Gao Waffles, Matcha Gao Ice Cream And More In Jalan Besar

The next time you’re in the Jalan Besar area, drop by Cold Break for some post-dinner ice cream and waffles. The new-ish dessert cafe opens till 2am on Fridays and Saturdays, making it the perfect spot to end your supper sesh with friends!

Cold Break: New Cafe With Nian Gao Waffles, Matcha Gao Ice Cream And More In Jalan Besar

The cosy cafe is a short seven-minute walk from Jalan Besar MRT Station, so you can catch the last train after your late-night hang. A single scoop of ice cream goes for $4.50 while a double scoop costs $8.

Subsequent scoops go for $3 each. For premium flavours, there’s a $1 top-up per scoop.

One popular way to enjoy their ice cream is to have it with a slice of Brownie ($4.50), warmed up slightly for a rich and fudgy texture. Ice cream flavours range from indulgent picks such as Matcha Gao, Pistachio, and Korean Strawberry Cheesecake to lighter concoctions of Oolong Houjicha and White Chrysanthemum and Goji.

You can also enjoy these frozen treats with Cold Break’s signature Nian Gao Waffle ($7), available in two flavours: Buttermilk and Pandan. These highly-rated waffles are said to be light and crispy on the outside, with a sticky and chewy middle thanks to the addition of nian gao.

Freshly baked to order, they go extremely well with the Asian-inspired ice cream flavours! You can also get your caffeine fix here, in the form of a Latte ($6), Hojicha Latte ($6), or a refreshing Iced Oolong Lychee ($6.50).

Another popular dessert cafe nearby is Muted Gelato, which serves premium matcha and hojicha ice cream. Alternatively, head to the West and check out Three Madames, an under-HDB cafe in Jurong East with unique Chinese desserts!

Address: 202 Jalan Besar, Singapore 208888 Opening hours: Mon-Thurs 1pm to 11pm, Fri-Sat 1pm to 2am, Sun 1pm to 12am
