Burnt Cones

Neighbourhood gelato chain with waffles, coffee and long opening hours.

Burnt Cones opened in December 2020 and has grown into a multi-outlet business with locations including Sunset Way, NeWest Mall, NUS MD11, NUS University Hall, United Square, One North and IOI Central Boulevard Towers. Its official site describes a focus on good food made with quality ingredients, and lists outlet phone numbers and opening hours. The menu is built around gelato, waffles and coffee, with newer monthly specials giving regulars a reason to return. Some outlets open very early or very late, depending on location.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Burnt Cones is a practical recommendation because it solves the access problem better than many boutique gelato shops. There are multiple outlets, the hours are generous at several branches, and the combination of gelato, waffles and coffee works for brunch, dessert or a late snack. The best flavours are satisfying and approachable rather than overly experimental. The trade-off is consistency across outlets: a chain with varied sites can feel different depending on where you go. Overall, it is a strong everyday gelato choice.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

It has expanded responsibly, keeps several convenient neighbourhood and campus outlets, and offers a reliable gelato, waffle and coffee format.
