Olivia Restaurant and Lounge
Along Keong Saik Road, Olivia Restaurant and Lounge serves a burnt cheesecake built on a family recipe that gets the contrast dead right – a deeply caramelised top giving way to a centre that still flows. They fold in Valdeon cheese, which brings a quiet savoury note most versions skip entirely, and sit the whole thing in an almond sablé tart shell.
A slice runs about S$14. The wine list here is serious, and pairing the two makes a good excuse to linger through a long weekday lunch or a Friday dinner that drifts late. The dining room feels properly Mediterranean – warm lighting, whitewashed walls, the kind of place where you dress a little for the occasion.
Address: 55 Keong Saik Road, #01-03, Singapore 089158
Hours: Tue–Thu 11:30am–2pm, 6pm–10pm; Fri–Sat 11:30am–2pm, 6pm–late; closed Mon & Sun

This is the one when your friend from out of town asks where to get a proper slice in a beautiful room, or when a date warrants more than just dessert. Book ahead, especially on Fridays.
Fluff Bakery
Fluff Bakery on Jalan Pisang built its name on cupcakes, but their Basque burnt cheesecake has become a quiet favourite for people who need a halal-certified option that does not compromise on texture. The whole cake is S$72, with a toasty, golden-brown surface and a centre that stays soft and creamy right through.
Everything here is halal-friendly, so it is an easy pick for a mixed gathering or a family celebration where dietary needs differ. The shop itself is small and cheerful – more grab-and-go than sit-and-savour – but the bake speaks for itself. Pick up some of those signature cupcakes while you are there; they have been at this a long time.
We compile these ourselves and take suggestions. If your business belongs on this list, tell us why.

Order ahead if you are counting on a whole cake – they bake in batches and the schedule is tight.
Dirty Cheesecake
Over at West Coast Drive, Dirty Cheesecake does not do quiet. Their burnt cheesecakes come in flavours like Biscoff, sea salt caramel, Super Dirty dark chocolate, yuzu, Dirtymisu, and – when the season calls for it – Mao Shan Wang durian. Each one dials up the indulgence factor, the kind of dessert that ends a dinner party and starts a conversation.
This is an online-first operation with a physical collection point. They open at noon and they sell until they are done, which some days means closing by 5pm. Prices vary by flavour and size; the durian ones cost more for obvious reasons. If you have a birthday or a housewarming coming up and want something people will actually remember, this is a strong call.
Address: 1 West Coast Drive, #01-77, Singapore 128020
Hours: Tue–Sun 12pm–6pm or until sold out; closed Mon

Go early on a Saturday if you want the full flavour board to choose from. And if durian is your thing, check when the Mao Shan Wang batch drops – it moves fast.
Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology
Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology works out of Joo Seng Road and handles the sort of dietary requests that usually mean skipping dessert altogether. Their classic Basque burnt cheesecake has a deeply caramelised crown and a creamy body, but they also do a berried version topped with seasonal fruit and edible flowers, and they take custom orders for eggless, vegan, gluten-free, and keto variations.
Same-day delivery is available if you order before noon, which is practical when someone’s birthday sneaks up on you. The presentation is deliberate – the berried cheesecake in particular looks like it belongs on a table at a garden party – so this is a solid choice for occasions where the cake needs to arrive looking the part, not just tasting it.
Address: 18 Joo Seng Road, Singapore 360018
Hours: Same-day delivery for orders before 12pm; check directly for collection timings

If someone in your circle is dairy-free or gluten-free and usually gets a fruit platter while everyone else eats cake, this is where you order from. They will actually get the same burnt cheesecake moment, just made to their needs.

Edith Patisserie
Edith Patisserie sits on Outram Road, a small bake shop that takes a gentle approach to the burnt cheesecake – longer, slower baking, with Madagascan vanilla threaded through a soft, creamy centre. The result is less aggressively caramelised than some others on this list, which suits people who want the Basque idea but prefer a lighter, more restrained version.
Everything here is handmade, with an emphasis on wholesome ingredients. The cheesecake sits alongside a counter of other bakes – tarts, cookies, cakes – but it is the one regulars come back for. They open daily at 10am, so you can swing by in the morning and have a cake sorted by lunch.
Address: 275 Outram Road, #01-00, Singapore 169064
Hours: Daily 10am–7pm

This is the one for a low-key weekend tea at home, or when your crowd prefers something a little less rich after a heavy meal. The vanilla comes through clearly – it is the point of the thing.
Esquina
Down Jiak Chuan Road, Esquina is a Spanish kitchen that treats its burnt cheesecake as a proper course, not an afterthought. They work with multiple cheeses to get a creamy heart and a delicate, burnished crust, and it lands at the table looking exactly like the ones you see in San Sebastián tapas bars – modest, unadorned, and completely convincing.
The cheesecake is the finale to a meal of tapas, and that is the right way to do it here. Come for lunch Tuesday through Saturday, work through a few small plates, and let the cheesecake close things out. The restaurant itself is intimate and buzzy, with counter seating that puts the kitchen in full view.
Address: 16 Jiak Chuan Road, Singapore 089267

Book a counter seat if you can – watching the kitchen work while you eat is half the reason to come. And if you are already planning a Spanish-inspired evening, our take on the Finest Tacos in Singapore might round out the week nicely.
Cat & The Fiddle
Cat & The Fiddle runs outlets across Singapore, with a flagship at Clarke Quay’s The Central, and their Charred Eclipse burnt cheesecake is the most convenient option on this list at S$48.90 for a whole cake. It blends cream cheese with Martabak cheese for a half-baked, oozy texture and a whisper of smokiness that sets it apart from standard versions.
The entire range is halal-certified, and they have been recognised by Time Out as one of Singapore’s better cake shops. With islandwide locations and daily hours stretching to 10pm, this is the one you grab when you need a cake tonight, not three days from now. The consistency across outlets is reassuring – what you get at Clarke Quay is the same as what you get at their other stores.
We compile these ourselves and take suggestions. If your business belongs on this list, tell us why.
Address: 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #01-41, The Central@Clarke Quay, Singapore 059817 (and other islandwide locations)

Great for a last-minute gathering or a family dinner where you want something solid, halal-friendly, and available without pre-order drama. The smokiness is subtle but distinctive – it is what makes the Charred Eclipse worth picking over a plain cheesecake.
If savoury is more your direction after all this sugar, you might also enjoy our guide to the Finest Tonkatsu Establishments in Singapore – a completely different kind of satisfaction.
How to choose
Not all burnt cheesecakes chase the same brief. Some go heavy on the caramelised shell; others keep it pale and let the vanilla do the talking. Some are built for a restaurant finish – warm, molten, fork-and-plate territory. Others are designed to travel home intact and feed eight people. Knowing which you are after saves you buying the wrong thing for the wrong moment.
Whole cake or single slice? If you are feeding a group, Fluff Bakery (S$72), Cat & The Fiddle (S$48.90), and Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology sell whole cakes from their regular menu. Dirty Cheesecake also does full sizes in multiple flavours, though availability depends on the day’s bake. Olivia and Esquina are dine-in experiences – you get a slice, you eat it there, and that is the point.
Halal requirements? Fluff Bakery and Cat & The Fiddle are halal-certified, so they are the straightforward picks if that matters for your household or guests. No other shop on this list carries halal certification, so confirm directly with them if you are unsure.
Dietary needs? Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology is the only one explicitly offering eggless, vegan, gluten-free, and keto variations. Give them lead time – these are custom orders, not off-the-shelf.
Flavour range? Dirty Cheesecake runs the widest flavour board: Biscoff, sea salt caramel, dark chocolate, durian, yuzu, Dirtymisu. If you want something beyond classic, start there. Everyone else keeps it closer to the original Basque blueprint, though Edith Patisserie’s vanilla-forward version and Cat & The Fiddle’s smoky Charred Eclipse each put their own stamp on it.
Price signal. A slice at a restaurant runs about S$14–S$18. A whole cake from a bakery ranges roughly S$48 to S$75. Durian or custom dietary versions will push higher. Delivery fees are extra where offered. If a price seems too good to be true for a full-sized Basque cheesecake, ask about the size – some smaller ones are meant for two to three people, not a party.
When to order. Dine-in at Olivia and Esquina – book ahead, especially Friday and Saturday evenings. Whole cakes from bakeries: Fluff Bakery and Dirty Cheesecake sell out, so call or message before you travel. Cat & The Fiddle keeps more consistent stock across multiple outlets. Amrita’s needs orders before noon for same-day delivery. Edith Patisserie is open daily from 10am and generally has cakes in the counter, but a quick call never hurts.

Summary
Singapore’s burnt cheesecake options span from a quiet slice with a glass of wine in a Keong Saik dining room to a whole durian-spiked creation picked up in West Coast. Olivia and Esquina nail the restaurant experience. Fluff Bakery and Cat & The Fiddle handle halal-friendly whole cakes at two different price points. And if someone at your table needs eggless or gluten-free, Amrita’s has you covered. The right one is mostly a question of occasion – and how many people you are feeding.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Basque burnt cheesecake?
It is a crustless cheesecake baked at high heat so the outside caramelises deeply while the centre stays soft and creamy. It originated in Spain’s Basque region and has become a mainstay in Singapore bakeries and restaurants over the last few years.
Which burnt cheesecake in Singapore is halal-certified?
Fluff Bakery and Cat & The Fiddle are both halal-certified. Fluff Bakery sells whole cakes for S$72; Cat & The Fiddle’s Charred Eclipse burnt cheesecake is S$48.90. The other shops on this list do not carry halal certification, so check with them directly.
Can I get a burnt cheesecake delivered in Singapore?
Yes. Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology offers same-day delivery for orders placed before noon. Other shops may offer delivery through their own arrangements or third-party platforms – check their websites or call to confirm.
Which shop does burnt cheesecake with different flavours?
Dirty Cheesecake has the widest range, including Biscoff, sea salt caramel, Super Dirty dark chocolate, Mao Shan Wang durian, yuzu, and Dirtymisu. Other shops mostly stick to a classic Basque style, though Cat & The Fiddle adds a smoky twist with its Charred Eclipse.
Do I need to pre-order a whole burnt cheesecake?
For most bakeries, yes – or at least call ahead. Fluff Bakery and Dirty Cheesecake both bake in limited batches and can sell out before closing. Cat & The Fiddle keeps more consistent stock across multiple outlets, but pre-ordering is still the safer bet if you are counting on a cake for an event.
Is there a burnt cheesecake option for dietary restrictions?
Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology takes custom orders for eggless, vegan, gluten-free, and keto burnt cheesecakes. These are not off-the-shelf items, so give them advance notice. Other shops may accommodate specific requests – ask directly.
