Long-running local gelato shop famous for bold and unusual flavours.

Tom's Palette

Tom's Palette has been serving handmade ice cream and gelato since 2005 and remains one of Singapore's most creative scoop shops. Its website describes a library of more than 260 flavours, including Salted Egg Yolk, Nasi Lemak and Mango Sticky Rice, alongside classic options. The brand emphasises fresh and raw ingredients, with no colouring, premixes or artificial flavouring. It operates outlets at Bugis and Kovan, offers daily-changing flavours, and runs events plus team-building workshops built around ice cream making and waffles.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Tom's Palette is where you go when you want ice cream with personality. The shop has spent years proving that local and savoury-leaning flavours can still work as dessert, while keeping enough dependable choices for less adventurous friends. Its strongest point is range: there is usually something you have not tried before. The honest trade-off is that rotating flavours can be hit or miss depending on your palate, and the Bugis outlet can feel busy. Still, few places show more confidence in flavour development.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

It has longevity, originality and a genuine local following, with handmade production and one of Singapore's deepest flavour libraries.
