# Dessert Shops in Changi Dessert shops – gelato, bingsu, Chinese tong sui and waffle cafes – are licensed by SFA and carry a SAFE grade since January 2026. Many stay open past 10pm, making them Singapore's main late-night alternative to bars. Counter-service shops are usually nett; sit-down dessert cafes often add service charge and GST. ## Key facts - Listings: 18 - Median years in business: 11 ## Licences - **Food Shop Licence (SFA)** (Singapore Food Agency (SFA), required): Every restaurant, cafe, bakery, stall and food court outlet selling food to the public must be licensed by SFA. Since 19 Jan 2026 the licence carries a SAFE grade (A, B, C or NEW) based on the outlet's food-safety track record; scan the QR code on the displayed licence to see it. Check: https://go.gov.sg/sfa-track-records - **MUIS Halal Certificate** (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), optional): Voluntary, but MUIS is the only body that can issue halal certificates in Singapore (Administration of Muslim Law Act). Certified outlets must display the original, valid certificate; photocopies are not allowed. Check: https://muis.gov.sg/Halal/Halal-Certification/Certified-Eating-Establishments ## How to choose - Check opening hours carefully – many dessert shops open only in the afternoon and run until midnight or later. - For halal needs, verify the outlet on MUIS's directory; gelato and ice-cream bases sometimes contain alcohol or gelatine, so 'no pork' is not enough. - Ask about allergens – nut pastes (pistachio, hazelnut) are often scooped with shared utensils. - Sit-down dessert cafes may impose a minimum order per person at peak times. ## Listings (top 18) - [KANTIN (Jewel Changi Airport)](https://lookup.sg/biz/kantin-jewel-changi-airport), Changi · 78 Airport Blvd. #05 - 200 · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory](https://lookup.sg/biz/tokyo-milk-cheese-factory), Changi · 78 Airport Blvd., B2-265 · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Godiva Chocolatier](https://lookup.sg/biz/godiva-chocolatier-changi), Changi · Jewel Changi Airport · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Nesuto](https://lookup.sg/biz/nesuto-changi), Changi · Jewel, 78 Airport Blvd., #01-236 & 237 Singapore Changi Airport · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory](https://lookup.sg/biz/tokyo-milk-cheese-factory-changi), Changi · 78 Airport Boulevard, #B2-265 · 1 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Rrooll](https://lookup.sg/biz/rrooll), Changi · 78 Airport Blvd, Jewel, B2-266 Singapore Changi Airport · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [TheJellyHearts](https://lookup.sg/biz/thejellyhearts-changi), Changi · 65 Airport Boulevard, Changi Airport Terminal 3, #B2, #29 · 3 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Birds of Paradise Gelato Boutique](https://lookup.sg/biz/birds-of-paradise-gelato-boutique-changi), Changi · 78 Airport Blvd., #01 - 254 · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT · registered 2015 - [Phat Chic Forever](https://lookup.sg/biz/phat-chic-forever), Changi · Blk 4 Changi Village Road #01-2072 · registered 2014 - [Chocolate Origin](https://lookup.sg/biz/chocolate-origin-changi), Changi · 4 Changi Village Rd, #01-2084 · registered 2021 - [Laderach Chocolatier Suisse](https://lookup.sg/biz/laderach-chocolatier-suisse), Changi · 78 Airport Blvd., #01-239 · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Llaollao](https://lookup.sg/biz/llaollao-changi), Changi · 65 Airport Blvd., #02-93, Terminal 3 Departure Hall · 2 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Swensen's](https://lookup.sg/biz/swensens-changi), Changi · Changi Airport Terminal 2 60 Airport Boulevard · 2 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Emack and Bolio's](https://lookup.sg/biz/emack-and-bolios), Changi · 78 Airport Boulevard The Jewel · 5 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Icenoie Hokkaido](https://lookup.sg/biz/icenoie-hokkaido), Changi · 78 Airport Blvd, B2 - 243 · 6 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Gelateria Italia Ice-Cream](https://lookup.sg/biz/gelateria-italia-ice-cream), Changi · Changi Airport T3 · 9 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [Hong Kong Sheng Kee](https://lookup.sg/biz/hong-kong-sheng-kee), Changi · 80 Airport Blvd., #03-52, 819643 · 1 min walk from Changi Airport MRT - [乐轩点心 @ Changi Village](https://lookup.sg/biz/changi-village-changi), Changi ## FAQs ### What happened to the A, B, C, D hygiene grades in Singapore? From 19 January 2026 SFA replaced the annual A–D hygiene grade with the SAFE framework. Outlets now get A (more than three years with no major lapse), B (one to three years), NEW (operating under a year) or C (a court conviction for a food-safety offence or a licence suspension under the demerit-points system). Scan the QR code on the SFA licence at the counter to see the current grade. ### Are dessert shops in Singapore halal? Only those certified by MUIS. Desserts can contain hidden non-halal ingredients such as gelatine or liqueurs, so check the MUIS Certified Eating Establishments list or the MuslimSG app and look for the original certificate at the shop. ### Can I bring my dog to a dessert shop? Only to its outdoor seating area. Since 1 January 2025 pets can join diners at outdoor refreshment areas without extra SFA approval; indoors requires an SFA pet café licence. ## Sources - SFA – New Safety Assurance for Food Establishment (SAFE) framework: https://www.sfa.gov.sg/news-publications/newsroom/new-safety-assurance-for-food-establishment--safe--framework--to-strengthen-food-safety - MUIS – Certified Eating Establishments: https://muis.gov.sg/Halal/Halal-Certification/Certified-Eating-Establishments - SFA – No additional approvals needed for pets at outdoor refreshment areas from 1 Jan 2025: https://www.sfa.gov.sg/news-publications/newsroom/no-additional-sfa-approvals-needed-for-patrons-to-dine-in-with-pets-at-outdoor-refreshment-areas-from-1-jan-2025 --- Source: Lookup (https://lookup.sg) · Data as of October 2026 · Listings compiled from Singapore government open data (data.gov.sg), OneMap and Overture Maps places.
