Best Pancakes in Singapore (2026)

Quick answer: Gram Cafe and Flippers set the standard for classic Japanese souffle pancakes that wobble on the plate. Typhoon Cafe puts a Taiwanese twist on things with milk tea and White Rabbit toppings, while Bangkok Jam brings mango sticky rice into the pancake game. Belle-Ville does Osaka-style millefeuille pancakes that are flatter but still ridiculously soft, and Seiwaa lets you cook your own at the table.

Gram Cafe & Pancakes

Gram Cafe at VivoCity is where the souffle pancake obsession in Singapore gets its gold standard. Ask anyone who chases jiggly pancakes and they will tell you about their Premium Pancakes — three thick rounds stacked high, so airy the whole thing shimmies when the plate moves.

Each order comes with a pot of maple syrup and housemade whipped cream that melts into the warm layers without drowning them. They only make 60 serves of the Premium Pancakes a day, spread across three time slots, so timing matters more than your appetite.

If you miss the timed batch, their other souffle pancakes run all day and still carry that cloud-like texture the brand is known for. The balance of sweetness is restrained — this is Japanese precision, not a sugar hit.

Address: 1 Harbourfront Walk, VivoCity #02-110, Singapore 098585
Hours: 11am–10pm daily
Phone: 8666 6277
Price signal: $15–$22 per pancake set
Website: Gram Cafe & Pancakes

Best for someone who wants that exact Instagram moment — the jiggle, the height, the first fork sliding through — and is willing to plan their day around a 3pm serving window. Worth it when you see the look on your date’s face.

Flippers Singapore

Flippers at Bugis Junction takes the same souffle pancake idea and gives it a slightly denser, more cake-like chew. Their batter uses Japanese milk and Hinata eggs, and everything on the menu is halal-certified — a detail that opens the door for a lot more groups.

The Original Kiseki pancake is the one to start with, best eaten with two forks so you do not compress all that air you paid for. From there you can drift into Matcha, Hazelnut Chocolate, or even an Eggs Benedict stack that turns the whole thing savoury. The pancake holds its own under heavier toppings, which is not something every souffle can manage.

Address: Bugis Junction, #01-97, Singapore 188966
Hours: Mon–Thu 11am–9pm, Fri 11am–9:30pm, Sat 10:30am–9:30pm, Sun 10:30am–9pm
Price signal: $14–$20 per stack
Website: Flippers Singapore

The two-fork tip is real — use one in each hand, pull apart gently, and watch the steam escape. Good for a relaxed weekend catch-up when nobody is in a rush and someone in the group needs halal options.

Hoshino Coffee

Hoshino Coffee inside ION Orchard is less about the wobble and more about sitting down for an unhurried Japanese cafe moment. Their Double Pancakes Souffle Style come out tall, tan, and more composed — the texture leans towards a soft sponge cake rather than a quivering cloud.

A pat of whipped butter sits on top, and the whole thing pairs naturally with their hand-poured coffee. This is the pancake you eat when you want to feel like you are treating yourself, but quietly, without the queue-drama of some other spots. The surrounding cafe hum — shelves of roasted beans, low chatter — does half the work.

Address: 2 Orchard Turn, #B3-25/26, ION Orchard, Singapore 238801
Hours: Mon–Thu 11:30am–10pm, Fri–Sat 11:30am–10:30pm, Sun 11am–10pm
Phone: 6509 8638
Price signal: $13–$18 per pancake dish
Website: Hoshino Coffee

Go for the coffee-and-pancake ritual, not because you need the fluffiest stack in town. Suits a solo afternoon recharge or a date that wants conversation more than spectacle. If you like the vibe here, you might also enjoy browsing Singapore’s Premier Acai Destinations for a lighter post-pancake cleanse.

Typhoon Cafe

Typhoon Cafe sits on the fourth floor of Plaza Singapura and does what nobody else on this list does: Taiwanese-style souffle pancakes that taste like your childhood snack drawer grew up and got fancy. Think Taiwan Milk Tea with bubbles, Honeycomb Ice Cream, and White Rabbit Milk Pudding sitting on an airy souffle stack.

The pancakes themselves walk a line between airy and cakey, sturdy enough to carry the toppings without collapsing. Presentations are playful — colourful, stacked high, designed to make you grin before you lift the fork. This is not minimalist Japanese restraint; it is joyful and a bit extra, and that is exactly the point.

Address: 68 Orchard Rd, #04-63/67, Singapore 238839
Hours: 11:30am–10pm daily
Price signal: $15–$20 per souffle stacker
Website: Typhoon Cafe

Bring the group chat here. The flavours are a conversation starter, and the White Rabbit stack alone is worth the trip for anyone who grew up unwrapping those little candy papers.

Bangkok Jam

Bangkok Jam at Plaza Singapura takes the souffle pancake somewhere completely different — straight into Southeast Asian dessert territory. Their Thai Milk Tea pancake comes with tapioca pearls, and the Mango Sticky Rice version arrives with coconut ice cream and scattered rose petals. Nobody else does this.

The pancakes themselves are wobbly and well-executed, but the real pull is how the flavours work. A rich, earthy aroma runs through the Thai tea, and the sticky rice topping ties it all back to a dessert Singaporeans already love. It feels inventive without being gimmicky.

Address: 68 Orchard Road, Plaza Singapura #03-85, Singapore 238839
Hours: 11:30am–10pm daily
Price signal: $12–$18 per dessert pancake
Website: Bangkok Jam

This is the pick when you want pancakes but someone in the group is craving Thai. Order a mango sticky rice pancake for the table alongside the mains — it bridges sweet and savoury in a way that makes sense after a heavy meal.

Belle-Ville Pancake Cafe

Belle-Ville Pancake Cafe does Osaka-style millefeuille pancakes, which are flatter and wider than the tall souffle stacks, but the texture inside is just as soft — almost melty, held together by layers of meringue. There is an outlet on Victoria Street, and they open earlier than most, at 9am.

Flavours lean classic: Grilled Apple with Homemade Caramel, Matcha with Rice Ball and Red Bean, Chocolates with Grilled Banana. Hokkaido cream features across the menu, adding a clean richness that does not overpower the pancake itself. The pancake may not wobble dramatically for the camera, but the fork slides through like it just gave up.

Address: 230 Victoria Street #01-01B, Singapore 188024
Hours: 9am–8pm daily
Price signal: $10–$16 per pancake
Website: Belle-Ville Pancake Cafe

This is the sensible yet indulgent breakfast stop. Start your day with a grilled apple pancake and a cup of tea before the malls even open. The earlier hours and slightly lower price point make it easy to justify on a weekday.

Seiwaa Okonomiyaki & Teppanyaki Restaurant

Seiwaa on Dunlop Street is the odd one out, and that is exactly why it earns its spot. This is an okonomiyaki and teppanyaki joint first, where you cook your own food on a hotplate built into the table. And then they bring out souffle pancakes — fluffy, versatile, and ready for you to finish yourself.

The pancakes use authentic Japanese ingredients and arrive part-cooked, so you get the sizzle and the satisfaction of flipping. It turns dessert into something you do, not just something you eat. Presentations are careful and pretty, and the whole experience feels like dinner and a show.

Address: 72 Dunlop Street, Singapore 209400
Hours: Mon–Sat 11am–3pm, 5pm–11pm (Closed Sun)
Phone: 6291 6084
Price signal: $20–$35 per person with pancakes and savoury items
Website: Seiwaa Okonomiyaki & Teppanyaki Restaurant

Book this when you want a group dinner that ends with something sweet and hands-on. The pancakes are a side attraction to the okonomiyaki, but that combination — savoury DIY cooking followed by a wobbly pancake you coaxed onto the plate yourself — makes the evening feel like an event. If you enjoy group dining with a bit of action, Restaurants in Clarke Quay has more riverside options worth a look.

How to choose

Start by asking what kind of texture you actually want. The classic tall, jiggly souffle pancake — the one that wobbles when you nudge the plate — is best at Gram Cafe and Flippers. If you are happy with a softer, cake-like pancake that still has good height, Hoshino Coffee and Typhoon Cafe fit. Belle-Ville is flatter and melty, more millefeuille than souffle, and Seiwaa is a whole interactive experience rather than just a pancake on a plate.

Flavour profile matters too. Purists who want butter, syrup, and nothing else should aim for Gram or Hoshino. Typhoon Cafe and Bangkok Jam are for people who want the pancake to carry a strong, creative topping — Taiwan milk tea, matcha with red bean, mango sticky rice. Flippers straddles both camps with classic and flavoured options, plus a savoury one if you are not in a sweet mood.

Timing is practical. Gram Cafe releases their signature premium stack in three daily windows — if you are not there before a window opens, you will eat something else from their menu, which is still good but not the star. Belle-Ville opens at 9am, making it the early-bird pick. Seiwaa closes between 3pm and 5pm and is shut on Sundays, so check before you go. Most other spots run continuously from late morning to night.

Price-wise, expect $12–$22 for a pancake dish at most cafes. Seiwaa runs higher because you are usually ordering savoury teppanyaki alongside the pancakes. None of these are cheap hawker desserts — you are paying for technique, imported ingredients, and air that took a lot of skill to trap in batter.

Group needs can narrow the list fast. Flippers is halal-certified. Seiwaa suits groups who want to cook together. Typhoon Cafe and Bangkok Jam work for mixed groups where some want Asian flavours and others just want a fun dessert. Belle-Ville and Hoshino are quieter and better for twos or solo downtime.
