🇸🇬 Regret not coming here sooner… this affogato is SO good!!
I kept seeing this place all over my feed and finally gave in to the hype — and honestly, it deserves it.
$10 per cup — not the cheapest dessert, but I’d say it’s worth trying at least once.
Honest review:
1. Pistachio was my favourite — super fragrant and paired so well with the chocolate.
2. The espresso wasn’t too bitter and actually made the gelato taste even better.
3. Chocolate gelato was a little too sweet for me personally, so I’d skip that next time.
For $10, you’re paying a bit for the experience and quality, but I can see why people keep coming back.
💡Pro tip: avoid lunch and dinner peak hours because it gets really crowded.
📍AiFOKATO
111 Telok Ayer St, Singapore 068580
Having visited AiFOKATO myself, I can truly say the affogato here is a delightful treat that lives up to its hype. The name AiFOKATO is catchy and memorable, making it easy to find on social media and among cafe enthusiasts in Singapore. One thing I appreciated was the careful balance in their espresso shots—not too bitter, which really complements the creamy gelato rather than overpowering it. If you’re a fan of nuts, the pistachio gelato is a standout, offering a fragrant, rich flavor that pairs nicely with the bittersweet espresso and the chocolate gelato. Speaking from experience, it’s true the chocolate gelato is on the sweeter side, so if you prefer something less sugary, this might not be your first choice. However, it adds a lovely contrasting note for those who enjoy a sweeter dessert. Another tip I learned is to try and come during off-peak hours because the place gets quite crowded, especially around lunch and dinner times. This way, you can savor your affogato in a more relaxed setting. Beyond the dessert, AiFOKATO's location at 111 Telok Ayer St makes it a cozy spot to explore Singapore’s vibrant cafe scene. For anyone who loves finding unique dessert experiences, AiFOKATO offers quality worth the $10 price tag. It’s a perfect spot to indulge in an affogato that’s flavorful and artistically served, making it a must-visit for both locals and visitors seeking the best cafes in Singapore.
