Drips Bakery Cafe serves the full board of food from starters, mains (including DIY healthy bowls!), coffee, tea, alcoholic drinks, desserts and baked goods, making it a great place for a chill meal, or a drink and dessert stop after hitting up other joints in the Tiong Bahru hood.

They’ve got a whole slew of cakes on display, but the only dessert dish on the menu are the egg white waffles with berry compote, mascarpone cheese and a scoop of gelato. They’ve got 5 different gelato flavours at the moment - vanilla, double chocolate, matcha (powders sourced from matchaya), mango and strawberry. An additional scoop costs $3. For today, we went with the chocolate gelato.

The waffles were freshly prepared and served promptly, and they were GOOD. I found their shape pretty unique, but more than that, these waffles were so light and crisp!!! It tasted almost as though I were biting into a meringue-waffle hybrid (which I later realised was the technique behind these waffles, and also why they were called ‘egg white waffles’). The gelato texture was creamy and so on-point. It did melt a little quickly, but not before we got to slather it on our waffles. We really enjoyed the chocolate flavour in this too, as it came through very very well. You’d definitely not mistake this for any other flavour.

For $9.80, this dessert dish is actually relatively affordable. Definitely one of the more outstanding (and slightly different) dessert waffles available in the cafe scene today. Can’t wait to come back and try the mains too (they also have an offer for 50% off the second main!).
