What's something that can be eaten anytime? Pancakes! So we've stacked up a list of the best pancakes in Singapore for you to flip over.
When you think of breakfast, what’s one thing that comes to mind? Pancakes. More than just a breakfast staple, we firmly believe that pancakes can be eaten at any time. Not all pancakes are stacked equally, though – that includes the hotcakes from McDonald’s. Sorry kiddos, we don’t make the rules! So we went flipping mad and set out to look for the best pancakes in Singapore to go with that frothy babyccino. Here’s what we found…
The best pancakes in Singapore to flip over
1. Privé
If you like your pancakes with a view, Privé at Keppel Bay is where you should go. Its pancakes are fluffy stacks of goodness served with fresh strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, maple syrup, and honeycomb. There are gluten-free options too, if you want the healthier choice.
Privé, 2 Keppel Bay Vista, Singapore 098382
2. Spruce
Perched at the top of Phoenix Park in Tanglin, Spruce is an extremely popular spot for a brunch – and for good reason. Its banana hotcakes with honeycomb butter and blueberry syrup are definitely worth waking up early for. A definite slice of heaven!
Spruce, Phoenix Park, 320 Tanglin Road, Singapore 247980
3. Wild Honey

If you’re bringing the young ‘uns on a shopping trip, appease them with this surefire winner. Among all its newfangled creations, Wild Honey’s classic stack of buttermilk pancakes certainly stands out – literally! Enjoy fluffy pancakes piled high with hibiscus-berry compote, candied back bacon, and real Canadian maple syrup. This place definitely knows how to do pancakes.

4. Two Bakers

Dorayaki pancakes? Don’t mind if we do! This is paired with matcha custard, Japanese Azuki beans, and strawberries, reminding us of Doraemon, the classic Japanese cartoon. Try out the earl grey infused pancakes too, which is fragrant and overwhelmingly decadent. Add a scoop of gelato from its sister brand Sugartree Gelato for an additional sweet treat.

5. Belle-Ville Pancake Cafe
The Japanese sure knows how to come up with sweet things. And, we would be silly not to include this very obvious choice on our list! This cafe serves up soft and fluffy meringue millefeuille pancakes made from fresh milk, separated egg yolks, and high-grade wheat flour. We were flipping over the grilled apple pancakes, which is drizzled with homemade caramel sauce. Yummers!

6. The Fabulous Baker Boy
Drop by this cafe after walking around Haji Lane and Kampong Glam for fab pancakes. If you’re sharing with the kids, you can’t go wrong with the homestyle pancakes drizzled with maple syrup and served with a thick pat of butter. Or indulge in the chef’s fave, cinnamon and brown sugar pancakes with maple cream cheese sauce topped with pecans. So much “Yes, please!”.
The Fabulous Baker Boy, Aliwal Arts Centre, 28 Aliwal Street, #01-01, Singapore 199918
7. Earlybird

Fried chicken and buttermilk pancakes – yes, you read that right. And we dare say, this is quite the explosive pairing. Who knew we needed this sweet and savoury combo? The portion is huge, perfect for sharing between you and the kiddos. If you don’t have an adventurous palette, the cafe also serves up the standard hotcakes, which comes with lemon curd, fairy floss, and vanilla ice cream. Yummy in our tummy!
Earlybird, 17 Jalan Pinang, Singapore 199149
8. Clinton Street Baking Company & Restaurant

This restaurant serves family-friendly favourites, but everyone will only be scrambling for its American-style hotcakes. The place fills up pretty quickly over the weekend, so we suggest booking ahead to avoid disappointment. Warning: this one serves American-sized portions, so go hungry!
Clinton St Baking Co & Restaurant, 31 Purvis Street, Singapore 188608
9. Gram Cafe & Pancakes
Another pancake joint that hails from Japan, its opening in Singapore was met with immediate fanfare and frenzies. The premium pancake is in such high demand that the item is only sold at three timeslots each day. Parents, you might be keen to try the tiramisu pancake. Each morsel is simply divine! Those looking for something different can try out its chilli beans pancakes. Interesting, no?
Gram Cafe & Pancakes, VivoCity, 1 Harbourfront Walk, #02-110/111, Singapore 098585
10. FLIPPER’S
Arguably Japan’s most well-known souffle pancake chains, Flipper’s flapjacks are created with artisan precision – we heard each ingredient is carefully weighed and measured. Each fluffy stack is pillowy-soft and melts in your mouth. If you prefer your pancakes with a little savouriness, go for the Egg Benedict or honey chicken variation. Whichever souffle pancakes you decided to get, remember that they’re best enjoyed “with forks only”.

11. Hoshino Coffee

Want a different kind of pancakes? Visit Hoshino Coffee and tuck into some seriously fluffy soufflé pancakes. Drizzled with maple syrup or honey syrup and served with whipped butter, these freshly baked pancakes are definitely the star of any afternoon tea. On top of the plain and matcha flavoured pancakes, Hoshino Coffee also offers a changing range of pancakes topped with seasonal fruit.

12. fluff stack

Run by pancakes enthusiasts for pancake connoisseurs, this cafe crafts its pancake with exact science and passion. A bite out of its classic soufflé pancakes is like tasting the clouds… that, we agree. If you’re looking to feed the ‘gram, go with the oolong boba soufflé pancakes. Looks good in photos, tastes even better in the mouth.

13. Granny’s Pancakes
How about the local version of pancakes? Granny Pancakes is an iconic homegrown brand that can be found in many hawker centres across Singapore. It sells min jiang kueh, AKA a beloved childhood snack that’s moist yet also fluffy. The original comes with a generous portion of crushed peanuts filling, but if you’re allergic to those, there are other flavours you can get. Plus, each pancake costs less than $2. Tasty and affordable, we totally stan!

14. Food For Thought
Besides having the best all-day brunches, Food For Thought also serves up some of the best pancakes in Singapore. Tuck into flapjacks drizzled with gula Melaka syrup and topped off with vanilla or coconut ice cream. When you’re done going around the National Museum, pop over to this cafe for a brunch of chocolate banana and blueberry smoothie pancakes. The kiddos will thank you.
Food For Thought, National Museum of Singapore, 93 Stamford Road, #01-04/05, Singapore 178897
15. Curious Palette

We’ve talked about its doughnuts before, but this cafe serves up a mean plate of pancakes too. Its berry ricotta hotcakes are baked for 30 minutes before being served with vanilla ice cream, berries compote, seasonal fruits, and mixed seeds. The dish is dense without being cloyingly sweet, and once we’re with it, we’re itching for another plate. Help!
Curious Palette, 64 Prinsep Street, Singapore 188667
16. Kyushu Pancake

If your agenda for the day is to eat pancakes only, then this is the place to eat them. We were so spoiled for choice that it took us some time before we finally ordered! The kiddos will be contented with the Kyushu Happy Meal, while parents, we dare you to try the croque madame set. Of course, there’s the good ol’ classic if you just want simple flavours. Psst, we’re told that only the finest ingredients are used to make its pancakes, so you can be certain that you’re getting the good stuff.

17. Kafe Utu
Bask in the ambience of Africa without leaving the little red dot! The hotcakes at Kafe Utu are made using Hokkaido milk and features ricotta cheese, fresh mixed berries, and cardamom maple syrup made in-house. It is topped with icing sugar and vanilla ice cream. Sure, it may not be the most African dish here, but is it the most IG-worthy? Oh, deff0!

18. Stackz
So you’re finally done with your heritage trail trek around Balestier and looking for a place to refuel. May we suggest this cosy (and air-conditioned) hidden gem in Zhongshan Mall? Stackz’s American European menu features flapjacks that are made freshly flipped upon order. And, true to its name, each stack(z) is light, fluffy, and a treat both to the mouth and tummy. There are many variations to choose from; you’re spoiled for choice here.

19. PUNCH

We’re just gonna go ahead and say it – the pancakes here pack a punch. (Sorry not sorry!) Its earl grey pancakes are triple stacks that have been heavily infused with the British tea blend, giving it a dense and earthy flavour profile. Light brown sugar syrup, poached pear, and chocolate macadamia crumble complement the stacks with their sweetness. This should be the only thing that you eat every time you’re here.
PUNCH, 32 North Canal Road, Singapore 059288
20. Oriole Coffee + Bar

This place serves up an amazing cuppa, but its brunch deserves a shout too. We particularly have a soft spot for its vanilla hotcakes, which comes with maple syrup and homemade espresso orange butter. Don’t worry parents, the pancakes are deemed kid-friendly so they can have a bite too. Plus, stay here long enough and you can get a tipple too (deffo not kid-friendly!).
Oriole Coffee + Bar, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, 96 Somerset Road, #01-01, Singapore 238163
21. Little Farms
If you’re on a health kick but still want your slappy jacks, pop over to Little Farms. Its buttermilk pancakes come with berry compote, a dusting of powdered sugar, and pure maple syrup. Who says you can’t have a bit of fun with healthier options? We totes approve.
Little Farms Bistro, Katong Point, 451 Joo Chiat Road, #01-04, Singapore 427664
22. Pancake Place
Here’s another cafe in the Kampong Glam that serves up premium pancakes. There’s a good selection of sweet (cempedak creme brulee is calling out to you) and savoury (lemak duck, anyone?) to be found here, as well as a dedicated kids menu. You can also add extra toppings to zhush up your dish. More sauce? Sure. A scoop of gelato? Go ahead. An extra pancake piece? Oh yes, please! And while you’re at it, get a milkshake to go with your meal. Pancake Place is a Muslim-owned restaurant.
Pancake Place, 56 Kandahar Street, Singapore 198904
23. Jtown
This quaint eating place in Orchard Road has a soft spot in this writer’s heart. Besides its hearty mains, Jtown also serves up delicious desserts in the form of martabak. Not to be confused with murtabak, martabak is a stuffed pancake (similar to min jiang kueh) that’s very popular in Indonesia. There are six variations to choose from include: butter sugar (AKA the original), chocolate, peanut, cheese, all mix, and OvoPOP. These are so good, you can have them on their own. Sedap!
Jtown, Midpoint Orchard, 220 Orchard Road, #B1-04/05, Singapore 238852
We hope you get to try these pancakes in Singapore, folks – cuz they’re flipping delicious!
