The best cheesecakes in Singapore only… none of that home-baked basque burnt cheesecakes bs…
One thing that Singaporeans love more than cafes is cheese. We’re talking anything that’s gooey and stretchy, like the viral Hokkaido cheese tarts and basque burnt cheesecakes from years ago. And who can resist a sinful cheese toast. But of all the cheesy dishes in Singapore, the humble cheesecake stands at the top.
Thankfully, with how vibrant our cafe scene is, you can find all sorts of cheesecakes in Singapore, including the classic New York cheesecake, Japanese cheesecakes, and even vegan cheesecakes.

1. queic by Olivia
If you search for “the best cheesecakes in Singapore”, this is the image you’ll find flooding the internet.
Unlike the conventional cheesecakes, Olivia’s Signature Cheesecake (from $15) is a combination of sweet cream cheese and savoury blue cheese. All these intense flavours are elevated with an extra layer of almond tart as the base. Other unique cheesecakes on the menu include the Brie Cheesecake and Salted Toffee Cheesecake.
These cheesecakes are apparently inspired by the original recipe from Olivia’s mother, Celina Franco, who had spent several months to perfect. it.
Location: 41 Kreta Ayer Rd, #41, Singapore 089003
Opening hours: 11am-7pm
2. Haus
Beyond its commonplace appearance, the Haus Cheesecake ($12) is not your ordinary basque burnt cheesecake. Look a little closer, and you’ll spot a delightful biscuit base as well.
A combination of a classic New York Cheesecake and Basque Burnt Cheesecake, you get the distinct char and caramelisation on top, as well as the buttery, crunchy base at the bottom — truly the best of both worlds.
This is also the only cheesecake and wine pairing concept. Enjoy your slice with a fruity and acidic Menade Sauvignon Blanc ($15).
Location: 5 Kadayanallur St, Singapore 069183
Opening hours: 2-11pm
3. Paparch
The homegrown halal cheesecake brand that built 60,000 Instagram followers before it opened a physical store.
Paparch has been making Basque burnt cheesecakes since the 2020 circuit breaker — six years online before opening at Arab Street. The format is squares, not slices, starting at $8.80 for the Original and $9.80 for flavoured editions. The Ondeh Ondeh and Miso Caramel are the picks; both do something the standard Basque burnt doesn’t. Halal-certified throughout.
Location: 48 Arab Street, #01-03, Singapore 199768
Opening hours: 12-8pm
4. Visitors Cafe
The only cafe in Singapore serving a mugwort Basque cheesecake — and the flavour is genuinely worth trying.
Visitors sits at Tanjong Pagar Plaza with a coffee menu and a cheesecake selection built around flavours you won’t find elsewhere. The Mugwort Basque ($11) runs sweet, but the earthy, slightly herbal quality of the mugwort comes through clearly enough to justify the order. The Black Sesame ($11) is the more familiar pick. Open until 10pm, which makes it one of the later-running dessert stops in the area.
Location: 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, #01-106, Singapore 081007
Opening hours: 8am-10pm
5. Basq & Bean
Basque burnt cheesecake and Thai single-origin coffee at Beach Road — and the entire menu is gluten-free.
Basq & Bean opened in Bugis in August 2025 with a deliberately tight menu: Original, Dark Chocolate, and Pandan Kaya cheesecakes alongside coffee sourced from Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
The 3.5-inch mini ($15) is perfect for sharing at the cafe, while the 6-inch ($35) was designed for taking home.
Location: 85 Beach Road, #01-02, Singapore 189694

6. POUT Rooftop Cafe
A hidden rooftop cafe on Chinatown with the best-value Basque cheesecake on this list — $9.9, brulee top, views over the Singapore River.

7. Pantler
A Japanese-French cheesecake from Joël Robuchon and Grand Hyatt Tokyo alumni — and $7.80 a slice.
Pantler was founded by chefs who came through Joël Robuchon Singapore and Grand Hyatt Tokyo, and the cheesecake reflects that pedigree without the price tag. The Pantler Cheesecake ($7.80/slice) sits between a Japanese soufflé and a New York slice — lighter than one, denser than the other. Worth knowing about when you’re in the River Valley area.
Location: 474 River Valley Road, Singapore 248359
Opening hours: 10:30am-6:30pm
8. Tiann’s

9. Dirty Cheesecake Bakery & Cafe
If regular cheesecakes are too boring for you, let us introduce you one of the most famous cafes in Singapore for basque burnt cheesecakes.
Dirty Cheesecake Bakery & Cafe thinks regular cheesecake is not exciting enough. Hence, their menu comprises unconventional flavours such as Mao Shan Wang ($42) and Ondeh Ondeh cheesecake ($34). All their flavours have one thing in common — a perfectly caramelised crust that encapsulates all that melty, gooey goodness in the centre.
All the basque burnt cheesecakes are available in sliced or whole cakes.
10. LeTAO
We get it. New York cheesecakes can be a bit too rich for some. If you’re someone who has a lighter palate, we recommend Japanese cheescakes.
When we’re talking Japanese cheesecakes, we must talk about LeTAO, coming straight from Hokkaido, LeTAO. It’s recognised as one of best cheesecakes in Japan, and many tourists would flock over to their stores just for a taste.
But here’s the twist. Their cheesecake is slightly different from what you would expect tin Japan. Using a creamy mascarpone imported from Italy, their best-seller — the Double Fromage — is bestowed with an unparalleled texture of snow. It’s velvety and smooth, with a slightly butter crust at the bottom for extra richness.
Priced affordably from $29.9, the bakery also serves other variations of the Double Fromage such as Chocolate and Pumpkin.
Location: 2 Orchard Turn, B4-05 ION Orchard, Singapore 238801
Opening hours:
Mon-Thu: 10am-9pm
Fri-Sat: 10am-10:30pm

11. Kiroi
Kiroi is where to go for the best Japanese cheesecake in Singapore. Don’t believe us? Check out how many 5-stars reviews they have earned on Google.
Located in Queenstown, Kiroi is known for its affordable Japanese cheesecakes — the light and fluffy kind. Without a doubt, the Original Cheesecake ($9) is their best-seller. But, if you want something a little different, Kiroi also houses interesting variations like raisin, pandan, and even a rainbow design for the kids.
The epitome of Japanese cheesecakes, Kiroi’s version has an incredibly light and airy texture, and is accompanied by a delicate flavour that is not too sweet, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.
Location: 123 Bukit Merah Lane 1, #01-118, Singapore 150123
Opening hours:
Monday: Closed
Tue-Sun: 10:30am-3:30pm
12. The Jelly Hearts
There aren’t that many halal cheesecakes in Singapore, so its fortunate that The Jelly Hearts, known for their halal jelly cheesecakes, offers nine different flavours.
Aside from being halal-certified, The Jelly Hearts stands out for its customisable aspects. If you’re getting their cheesecakes for a special occasion, you can request for alphabets cut out from strawberries or chocolates to send a sweet message.
These halal cheesecakes starts from $65.3 for 25 pieces.
13. Cat & The Fiddle
If you like your cheesecake with an extra zest, you will be spoilt with choices at Cat & The Fiddle. It’s one of the most popular brands in Singapore after all.
It has perhaps the widest selection of cheesecakes in Singapore; all made from high-quality ingredients to ensure authentic flavours. Pick from classic choices such as Classic New York ($42.9), or contemporary flavours like Yuan Yang Coffee & Tea ($52.9). You can also get the cheesecakes in individual slices.
If you cannot make up your mind, we recommend the Fickle Feline 2.0 ($58.9). This set is perfect for the indecisive as it boasts a selection of ten incredibly tasty flavours that are suitable for both adults and children. The cheesecakes are also beautifully presented, with colourful and eye-catching designs, which makes it the perfect centerpiece for birthday occasions.

If you have been to Nesuto before, you will be delighted to know that their C3 Cheesecake ($77) is back with popular demand! The chocolate hazelnut streusel provides a crunchy and nutty texture that complements the smooth Valrhona Dulce mousse. Meanwhile, the white chocolate cheesecake layer adds a creamy richness while the dark chocolate sea-salt cookie base offers a slightly salty contrast. You are really getting both the sweet and savoury in one bite!

Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory has gained a reputation for being one of the best cheesecakes in Japan, but I’m sure it needs no introduction here.

In addition to cheesecakes, Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory also offers a wide range of other cheesy desserts like cheese cookies and soft serve ice cream.

You don’t have to complicate things.
