Overscoop (Orchard Central)

- Croffle had a super crunchy crisp exterior with a chewy middle, topped with cinnamon sugar giving warm undertones that complemented the gelato 🍨
- 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙞 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙚𝙖 (𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙪𝙢 +$1): Appreciated that it’s not very sweet with its characteristic aroma of spices!
- 𝙍𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤: Would prefer to have a stronger nuttiness.

- Waffle was crispy on the outside with an airy fluffy centre, mochi encased was stretchy and melty!
- 𝙏𝙖𝙧𝙤 𝙮𝙖𝙢 (𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙪𝙢 +$1): Subtle vanilla-like sweetness with a distinct coconut milkiness, pairing well with the mochi 🍠
- 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙚𝙨: Like a salted caramel base with cookies and cream topping, a blend of buttery caramel flavour and a slight crunch from the toffee bits.

- Mild-tasting tea, could have a more prominent pu-erh fragrance.

TLDR: Positive vibes and cosy cafe.

Initially we were hesitant reading one of the last review, but we just had to try for ourselves.

Our experience at Overscoop has been nothing but serendipity. We were hunting around for some sweet snacks in town and saw there was a 1for1 waffle promotion.

Staff was friendly and patient whilst we pick the ice cream. Though there was some initial confusion due to two ongoing promotions, it was resolved quickly.

Quite a wide selection of ice cream, but stuck with one trusty vanilla scoop with standard & pandan waffles. Order came less than 10 minutes, kinda surprises as it was a busy weekend.

Taste wise - Crispy yet airy, all the must haves of waffles. Not too sweet is the bonus! Large portion as can be seen from the photo, with promo for students & seniors. Free mini scoop, a very nice gesture.

Suggest for boss to consider adding some small savory bites (chicken bites, fries etc) to the menu. Also worthwhile to think how to encourage diners to clear their tables.

Special thanks for catering to the hot drink, you got yourself a new fan. Cheers!

Went to redeem 1 for 1 waffle. A particular female staff was quite unfriendly since the beginning when we ordered. We also redeemed 1 for 1 açai through EZ-Link app. When I showed the screen of the redeemed page, she tried to click the close button on my phone a few times but somehow it didn’t manage to close. She then proceeded to ask a somewhat insulting question: “Is this a picture?” I was so furious that I placed my phone down and pressed the button in front of her to show that it is not a picture. To make it worse, order of our waffles did not arrive after waiting for 15 to 20min and we asked to refund instead.

Overscoop has opened a new outlet in Orchard Central! Nestled on the 2nd floor, this beautifully decorated cafe comes with spacious tables and comfortable seating to chill and catch up with friends. Though they’re mostly know for their ice cream and waffles, they also offer acai bowls and salad bowls 🍦

We tried their Mochi Waffle ($8) with Cookies & Cream ($5) ice cream, plus their Teriyaki Overbowl ($12.80). The mochi waffles were really exceptional, the centre of the waffle contained a really stretchy and gooey white mochi while the rest of the waffle was crispy. The textural contrasts were just A+ and I really liked how their mochi waffle contained actual mochi and wasn’t just made with glutinous rice flour. Cookies & Cream ice cream was really nice too! It was creamy with generous bits of chewy crushed cookies. Suuuper good.

We weren’t that impressed with the Teriyaki Overbowl unfortunately, the portions were very small in relation to the price and it wasn’t very filling. I did enjoy how healthy it was, both in taste and in ingredients, but it wasn’t nearly hearty enough to justify its steep price.

Would definitely return for their waffles and ice cream, I think that’s what they’re known for too so its better to stick to that.
