🇸🇬 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
If you're planning to visit AiFOKATO, here's what I learned from my experience that might help you enjoy it even more. First, the location at 111 Telok Ayer St is easily accessible, but the place can get packed during lunch and dinner times. I found that visiting mid-morning or in the late afternoon gives you a more relaxed atmosphere to savor your affogato. Regarding flavors, while the pistachio was my favorite due to its rich fragrance and perfect harmony with the espresso, I noticed the chocolate gelato might be a bit sweet for some, especially if you prefer a more balanced taste. Trying their other gelato flavors could be a fun way to discover your personal favorite. Also, the espresso shot itself is well-crafted—not too bitter and refreshing—enhancing the gelato rather than overpowering it. This balance makes the affogato stand out compared to other cafes I've tried in Singapore. Lastly, though $10 might seem a little pricey for a dessert, the quality of ingredients and the overall experience justify the cost. For those who haven’t tried affogato yet, AiFOKATO offers an authentic introduction to this delightful Italian dessert. If you love cafes and unique desserts in Singapore, this spot should definitely be on your list. Just remember to check crowd times and maybe pair your affogato with a good chat with friends for an even better outing.
