Best Cakes, Bakes & Desserts in Singapore holds 51 guides in this category, if you want to see what else is out there.
Whiskdom
Whiskdom sits in Orchard Central and a few other spots, baking massive cookies with molten centres that stay gooey even after a Grab ride. They’re known for oversized, chewy cookies baked fresh each morning—classic chocolate chip and inventive flavours that ooze richness. You can also get lava brownies and gift bundles for when you need to impress without stressing out.
The cookies come out of the oven warm, and the shop itself is a quiet escape if you need a few minutes to yourself with something sweet. Islandwide delivery means you don’t even have to leave your desk.
Where to find them: Orchard Central (#04-22b, 181 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238896), One Raffles Place, Galaxis, Pari Burong, and Chinatown. Orchard hours: Mon–Thu 12pm–9:30pm, Fri 12pm–11pm, Sat 11am–11pm, Sun 11am–9:30pm. Other outlets vary. whiskdom.com
If you like a cookie with real heft—almost a meal on its own—this one hits the spot. Good for sharing with colleagues when you’re feeling generous, or just a solo treat after a long week.
This is your treat-yourself cookie. Go mid-afternoon when they’re fresh from the oven and your office desk feels far away. The gift bundles are presentable enough to make you look generous without overcommitting. No need to overthink; order a box, share a smile.
Nasty Cookie
Nasty Cookie has blown up across Singapore with halal-certified, New York-style cookies that are famously stuffed. You’ll find them at Jewel, Funan, Orchard Gateway, VivoCity, and even Universal Studios. The flavours don’t hold back—Birthday Cake, Matcha Mania, and Milo Stylo all come with molten centres. They ship worldwide too, so your overseas friends can get a taste.
Their dine-in outlet is the largest among cookie brands here—good for a spontaneous date when you both want something messy and fun. Most outlets run 11am to 10pm, though it’s worth checking the specific branch. nastycookie.com
Perfect for the young at heart, anyone who doesn’t mind getting chocolate on their fingers, and Muslim friends looking for halal indulgence. If you’re planning a party, their boxes look good lined up on the table.

This one can. Stuffed proper, not a biscuit pretending. Drop by after lunch at Vivo or Funan—the molten centres make the queue worth standing. Overseas shipping swee if you need a gift that lands on time. You’re paying for the heft, not air. Halal-certified means everyone can share.
Burnt Ends Bakery
Burnt Ends Bakery, tucked into Dempsey, is the offshoot of the famous barbecue restaurant. It only opens Thursday to Sunday, so it’s a bit of a weekend treat run. Their brown butter chocolate chip cookie is the one people talk about—soft, chewy, and heavy on quality chocolate. They also do doughnuts, scones, and tarts.
The bakery itself feels like a quiet, grown-up hideout, no mass-market vibe. You can pre-order online and stroll in to collect. Address: 7 Dempsey Road, #01-01, Singapore 249671. Phone: +65 9624 9534. Thu–Sun 8am–4pm. bakery.burntends.com.sg
If you’re the sort who researches pastry chefs’ favourites and wants a cookie that feels a bit more serious, this is your stop. Also a solid excuse to dress up a little and wander Dempsey on a Saturday morning.
This is the bakery you plan a Saturday morning around. The brown butter cookie justifies the trip; the quiet Dempsey setting makes you feel like you’ve escaped the city for an hour. Pre-order if you’re smart—no point driving up to find empty shelves.
Old Seng Choong
Old Seng Choong brings the heritage vibes. They’ve taken old-school recipes and given them a present-day polish, with outlets at Marina Bay Sands, Paragon, Resorts World Sentosa, and Changi T2. Stars here are cookies like Pandan Coconut, which taste properly like home, not artificial. They also have chiffon cakes and pastries.
It’s a pain to find something that actually tastes like your grandmother’s baking but comes in a box nice enough to gift your in-laws. This nails that. Marina Bay Sands (#01-72, 2 Bayfront Ave, Singapore 018958), Paragon (B1-14), and more. Hours generally 10am–10pm but vary. Phone: +65 8518 1413. oldsengchoong.com
Anyone who misses the old flavours, tourists wanting a taste of Singapore, or when you need a housewarming gift that says “I tried.” If these heritage flavours speak to you, have a look at our Finest Kueh in Singapore picks.
When you need a taste of nostalgia that doesn’t rely on artificial pandan essence, this is the stop. The Pandan Coconut cookie is a solid bet for tea with older relatives—they’ll recognise the flavour, and you’ll look like you made an effort. The packaging is neat enough for gifting without looking like you tried too hard.
Famous Amos
Famous Amos has been here since forever, and you know its scent the moment you’re near an MRT station. Halal-certified with 16 outlets islandwide, they do bite-sized, crunchy cookies in classic flavours—chocolate chip, pecan, and the like. Packs come in different sizes, good for office sharing.
It’s pure nostalgia. That freshly baked smell pulls you in like a magnet even when you weren’t planning to buy anything. Most outlets open 10am–10pm. famous-amos.com.sg
When you need a no-brainer gift that everyone recognises, or you just want a small, reliably crunchy cookie to go with your kopi. Also great for road trips—the tins seal tight and you can chope the last few.
The office champion: you walk past an outlet, you come back with a bag. The small packs are priced for impulse, and the crunch holds up in a meeting. This is not a cookie to dissect; it’s a cookie to grab, share, and smile at. Pure, uncomplicated.
The Cookie Museum
The Cookie Museum puts Singapore on the map with over 500 cookie varieties and flavour experiments like tom yam and nasi lemak. They’re at Raffles City and Suntec City. Each bite is handmade and doubles as a conversation starter—great as souvenirs.
If you’ve got friends from overseas who always say Singapore food is just chicken rice, hand them a box of nasi lemak cookies and watch their face. Raffles City #B1-K4, Suntec City #01-313, both 11am–9pm. Order via thecookiemuseum.oddle.me.
The adventurous eater, souvenir hunters, or anyone who plans a party and wants snacks that actually spark some conversation. For more local flavour adventures, our Finest Nyonya Culinary Experiences in Singapore list is worth a browse.
The souvenir choice without the cringe. Hand a box of nasi lemak cookies to your overseas visitors and watch the sceptical-to-surprised moment. It’s the kind of gift you give when you want them to remember Singapore, not just take a t-shirt.
Kooks Creamery
Kooks Creamery is in Orchard, and they’re all about the combo—warm lava cookies with a scoop of ice cream. Cookies come filled with molten chocolate or matcha, starting at $8.80 with the pairing. Everything is made in small batches, so freshness is as good as it gets.
On a hot afternoon, there are few things more shiok than breaking open a warm cookie and letting the centre spill into cold ice cream. Outlet hours generally 12pm–10pm; check kookscreamery.com for the latest. A casual date spot or a post-shopping recharge—bring a friend, it’s the kind of thing that tastes better when someone goes wah next to you.

How to choose
It helps to know what you’re after. Thick, gooey, and shareable? Whiskdom or Nasty Cookie. Something a bit more refined and chef-approved? Burnt Ends Bakery.

Famous Amos is the nostalgic standby, halal and always consistent, while The Cookie Museum brings the wow factor with nasi lemak and tom yam flavours. Kooks Creamery blurs the line between cookie and dessert with its ice cream pairings.
Price-wise, most gourmet cookies sit between $3.50 and $7 apiece; combos like Kooks start at $8.80. Delivery and pre-order options vary, so if you’re planning a gift or a party, check whether the shop ships islandwide (Whiskdom, Nasty Cookie) or lets you collect a batch on the weekend (Burnt Ends).
