Mochi waffles seem to be having a moment lately. An upgrade from regular waffles, these buttery squares come with a hidden surprise: soft and chewy mochi tucked within a warm and crisp waffle layer. Here, we’ve rounded up the 10 best mochi waffles in Singapore to make your hunt a little easier. Pair this with a scoop of ice cream and you have a treat that’s hard to beat on a hot day!

1. 2nd Serving

You may have remembered when we featured 2nd Serving, a hidden ice cream cafe with Fudgy Chocolate Mochi Waffles ($8) that are to die for. Available from Friday to Sunday, these brownie-inspired waffles come with generous mochi bits in between the waffle batter. It’s rich, dense, and chocolatey, with an addictively chewy middle. For those visiting on other days, the cafe serves Pandan Mochi Waffles ($8) instead!

Pair your mochi waffle with a scoop of ice cream, priced from $4.50. They’re known for their tea-infused flavours, including Tie Guan Yin and Pu Er.
