6 Romantic Cafes With Classy Ambience And Good Food That Bae Will Love

A must-have here is their Waffle with Ice-cream ($8.50+) , a classic you can share with your special someone. Their waffles are thick, with crispy exteriors and an airy core. Their ice-cream is made in-house and you can expect flavours such as chocolate truffle, salted caramel, cheesecake, and Milo. For more of their tasty sweets, check out their good ol’ Apple Pie ($7+) as well.

Love can be expressed in many ways and food is one of them. With this list, I hope you’ll have a rough idea of where to bring your partner to for Valentine’s Day! For those #foreveralone peeps like me, you can check out these rustic cafes on V-day for some alone time!

  1. Pluseighttwo

    I Pluseighttwo is a new cafe co-founded by BTOB’s Seo Eunkwang. Located at Rendezvous Gallery, this dessert cafe will win your heart with their minimal and classy decor – think Kinfolk magazine. Fall in love with the wood and marble furniture, high ceiling, polished cement flooring, and lush plants placed all around. This cafe makes a great place to chill and have a HTHT with your partner. Pamper your taste buds with their Siltarae Bingsu ($17.90) . Siltarae refers to silk-like shaved ice which is different from the ice in typical bingsu. Dig your spoon into this and feel the rich, smooth, and sweet shaved ice dissolve in your mouth. You can choose from Banana , Chocolate , and Matcha flavours. Give their Injeolmi Toast ($8.50) a try as well if you and your date want more! Check out our full review of Pluseighttwo ! Address: 9 Bras Basah Road, #01-02, Rendezvous Gallery, Singapore 189559

  2. Enchanted Cafe

Pamper your date and indulge in their delightful French Vanilla Crepe Cake ($7.90) . Unlike regular crepe cakes, theirs are slightly thicker, making it more satisfying. The milky and silky layers of vanilla cream with the fluffy layers of crepe are just like you and your other half – a match made in heaven.

  3. Yummo Chow

    Nestled along Purvis Street is Yummo Chow , a cafe situated in the lobby of Hotel NuVe. The white walls, marble tables, velvet-cushioned chairs give it a posh and clean look, making this a great hideout for sophisticated couples. They are located near Bugis MRT Station but hidden from the crowded areas, so keep your eyes peeled for their signboard or you might miss it. They are doing desserts right with their Ice-Cream Tempura ($11+) . Vanilla ice-cream is stuffed in a bun and then deep-fried in tempura batter. The batter gives a crunch to the dish, and the drizzled caramel sauce adds a burnt sugary taste. You’ll understand why it is their best-selling dish once you’ve tried it. If you want something more atas, they as well have Creme Brulee ($8+) to fix your sweet tooth. Check out our full review of Yummo Chow !
