Beans & Cream (Bukit Batok)

A neighbourhood ice cream shop at Bukit Batok, popular among the people living in this area.

Pretty small shop but you would find some interesting flavours like this one.

I love black glutinous itself as a dessert and definitely open to this creation. Surprisingly it taste great as well.

Ice cream shop located beside the hawker centre. Ice cream was light and creamy. Loved the durian ice cream in particular

$7.40 for both scoops (+$0.80 premium flavour)

a tiny neighbourhood jaunt that i used to frequent a lot, but haven’t in a long while. stuck to my usual order of waffles with biscotti (premium, +80c) and earl grey ice cream (total $10.70). the biscotti is sweet but not too much and the earl grey is creamy yet fragrant. their ice cream never disappoints but the waffles seem to have dropped in standard in terms of taste, but the texture is still just right. will be back.

Double the ice-cream, double the joy~

Place is quite small though and only 1 staff who had to handle taking orders, collecting money, clearing tables, preparing waffle and scooping ice-cream...

Didn’t realise it while ordering but $9.80 for one small lava cake is expensive! The good thing about this is that Beans & Cream serves really good lava cake. It was made fresh. One pierce into the soft lava cake resulted in warm chocolate lava unapologetically spilling forth. The warm lava is super chocolatey and thick, and makes for such a decadent and indulgent treat. The contrast between the warm chocolate lava and cool ice cream is simply heavenly. We paired the lava cake with a premium flavour Biscotti (+$0.80). The biscotti flavour was the sweetest flavour we had for the day (out of Dark Chocolate and Mao Shan Wang), but personally I felt it matched the lava cake well although my dad felt it was too sweet. I liked the generous amounts of crisp biscuits inside, but I would try a different flavour the next time I visit.

This cake probably one of the best lava oozes I have ever seen, but that still wouldn’t justify the hefty price tag at this casual ice cream parlour. Go for the waffles and ice cream for a more budget-friendly option.

Ordered the waffles with two scoops of ice cream ($9.80). After much consideration, we chose the dark chocolate and Mao Shan Wang (Premium flavour, +$0.80).

The waffles are made to order, so you have to wait for a while as the waffles are prepared on the waffle iron. It’s worth the wait though. The waffle textures are on point, crispy on the outside, yet soft and fluffy inside.

The ice cream here is also awesomely creamy and rich. They don’t melt that quickly, so you have time to savour the flavours at your own pace. The Mao Shan Wang comes at a premium but it’s well worth the extra $0.80 if you love durian because this was chock full of durian flavour. It’s made with real durian, and I was even chewing on real durian flesh in some mouthfuls! We all had durian breath and burps after finishing the ice cream. Still blown away by how good their rendition of Mao Shan Wang ice cream is! The Dark Chocolate is one for real chocolate lovers. It’s got bittersweetness, and one taste is enough to land you in chocolate bliss.

Beans & Cream plays it quite safe with their ice cream flavours, and you probably won’t see crazy innovative combinations here, but these people know their ice cream and do them well. Definitely recommended for some good ice cream and waffles in the heartlands!
