Singapore’s halal cafe scene is absolutely booming in 2025. From sky-high soufflé pancakes to smashed burgers and Korean-inspired sandwiches, these ten halal-certified (or Muslim-owned) spots are the ones flooding Google searches, TikTok FYPs, and Burpple lists right now. Locals and tourists alike confirm good — here’s why each one deserves the hype.
1. Fluffed Café & Dessert Bar
Tampines Century Square and Jurong East Jem
Signature fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes jiggle for a full 10 seconds on camera, making them permanent residents of Singapore TikTok. The pancakes come in classic, matcha, tiramisu, and seasonal durian flavours. Their burnt cheesecake croissant — yes, an entire slice of Basque cheesecake stuffed inside a buttery croissant — sells out by 2 pm daily. Expect 45–60 minute weekend queues and pastel interiors perfect for OOTD shots.
2. The Brunch Society
Our Tampines Hub, Bugis Junction, and newest 2025 outlet at Paya Lebar Quarter
Their truffle egg croissant is a monster: buttery croissant split open, stuffed with scrambled eggs, truffle paste, and melted cheddar, then torched tableside. The salted egg carbonara and croissant taiyaki filled with custard or Nutella are equally viral. Bright, plant-filled space with neon signs screaming “Brunch is always a good idea.”
3. Royz et Vous
Telok Ayer, One Raffles Place, Bedok Mall, and upcoming Woodleigh outlet
The most “corporate-friendly” halal cafe in the CBD. Mains hover around $16–22, but the wagyu donburi bowls use actual A4–A5 Japanese wagyu that melts like butter. Their loaded croffles (croissant + waffle hybrid) topped with crabmeat or beef brisket are pure indulgence. Huge windows and fast Wi-Fi make it a favourite work-from-cafe spot.
4. Working Title Burger Bar
Haji Lane and Arab Street
The only place in Singapore serving proper halal smashed burgers using 45-day dry-aged Australian beef. Patties are smashed thin on the griddle for maximum crust and juiciness. Truffle parmesan fries come drenched in real truffle oil and shaved parm. Colourful murals, fairy lights, and late-night hours until 1 am on weekends keep the Kampong Glam crowd coming back.
5. Positano Risto
Bussorah Street, Kampong Glam
Arguably the most beautiful halal cafe in Singapore — think Santorini blues, hanging flowers, and fairy-light arches. Menu is Italian-Malaysian fusion: truffle mushroom pizza on thin charred crust, squid-ink pasta loaded with seafood, wagyu beef bolognese, and tiramisu served in cute glass jars. Outdoor seating is pure Instagram gold at golden hour.
6. The Co-Op Café
Inside Masjid Darul Ghufran, Tampines
Run by a group of youth volunteers, everything is priced insanely low (mains $8–14) yet tastes like $25 plates. Butter chicken loaded fries, nasi lemak croissants, and salted egg chicken chops are legendary. Cozy air-conditioned space with prayer facilities and free parking — perfect heartland gem that punches way above its price point.
7. All Things Delicious
Dunlop Street and Arab Street
The undisputed queen of halal cakes in Singapore. Their signature ondéh-ondéh cake layers pandan sponge with real gula melayu and fresh coconut. Burnt cheesecake, red velvet, and cempedak crème brûlée tart fly off the shelves daily. High-tea sets on weekends include unlimited scones, quiche, and finger sandwiches — all halal and all stunning.
8. Twenty Grammes
Ang Mo Kio Hub and North Bridge Road
The OG waffle specialist that started the charcoal waffle and red velvet waffle trends years ago. Waffles are thick, crispy-edged, and paired with gelato flavours like Mao Shan Wang durian and pistachio. Coffee is serious too — they pull single-origin beans and do latte art competitions regularly. Always packed, but turnover is fast.
9. Korio
Joo Chiat Road and Suntec City
Korean-inspired sandwich cafe using pillowy housemade Japanese milk bread. Fillings include bulgogi beef with caramelised kimchi, spicy gochujang chicken, corn mayo & cheese, and teriyaki salmon. Signature hand-torn milk bread loaves sell out daily by 4 pm. Minimalist beige-and-wood interior with that signature “Korean cafe” aesthetic everyone wants to copy.
10. Butter Bean
Toa Payoh Hub and Funan Mall
100 % soy-based menu — think silky soy milk lattes, soy pudding in brown sugar, and soy custard croissants that taste impossibly buttery. Weekend-only burnt cheesecakes (original, Milo dinosaur, bandung rose) sell out within the first hour of opening. Cute bean-themed decor and super friendly staff make it a heartland favourite.
These ten halal cafes are the ones Singaporeans keep tagging, reviewing, and queueing for in 2025. Each brings something different — sky-high pancakes, smashed burgers, Italian vibes, or local cakes — but all of them are confirm good. Happy cafe-hopping!
