Creamier (Toa Payoh)

Creamier is a local ice cream and coffee café on Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, where the brand began. It makes its ice cream by hand in small batches. This shop also sells fresh bread, pastries and brunch plates.

Audrey Wang, Khoh Wan Chin and Victor Lim founded Creamier in 2011, with a first shop at Block 128 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh. That shop closed in mid-2019. Creamier reopened in October 2019 at Block 131, across from its old home.

What to order

Ice cream is the main event. Creamier says it has created more than 100 flavours over the years. Classics sit next to new flavours that change each month. Flavours on its menu include Sea Salt Gula Melaka, Earl Grey Lavender, Butterscotch Almond, Roasted Pistachio and Blue Pea Vanilla.

The vegan version of Sea Salt Gula Melaka won two stars at the Great Taste Awards in 2025. It is made with palm sugar, coconut and sea salt.

Waffles are the classic partner for a scoop. The Toa Payoh shop also serves brunch plates and deli sandwiches, such as a Mortadella Melt, a Tamago Burger and a Truffled Mushroom Egg Sando. To drink, there is coffee, matcha, tea and hot chocolate.

Breads and bakes

In early 2026, Creamier began selling fresh bakes and sourdough here. It says these are only sold at its Toa Payoh outlet for now. The sourdough uses natural starters and slow fermentation. Loaves include Country, Multigrain, Spelt & Flaxseed and Cranberry & Oat.

There are also croissants and shokupan, a soft Japanese-style milk bread, in milk and chocolate versions. Bakes are made daily in small batches and sell while stocks last.

The setting

This is a relaxed neighbourhood café on the ground floor of a housing block. Creamier describes it as a place for everyone, from children and adults to dogs. The outdoor seats are pet-friendly, and the shop sells Pup Cups, an ice cream made for dogs.

• Dogs: pets are welcome at the outdoor seats only.
• Take some home: pints are sold for takeaway, and Creamier also delivers.
• Bakes: come earlier in the day for the best choice of bread and pastries.
