People often associate vegan food with salads and pricey green stuff, but the reality is that it isn’t. Insta-worthy vegan cafes in Singapore selling delicious plant-based dishes are aplenty, and worth every penny paid.
In this list, we explore 10 such vegan cafes around Singapore to keep your tummy, wallet and IG feed satisfied.
Smoocht is known for its signature vegan ‘r’ice cream’, made from organic crystal brown rice, organic evaporated cane sugar, real fruit and pure nut butters. The refreshing colour palette of red, mint and white resembles watermelons and cream, and could totally pass off as one of those aesthetic cafes in Seoul.
Its interior is just as IG-worthy too, with ferns that give the space a relaxed, tropical ambience. With a wide selection of flavours to choose from, the menu will leave you spoilt for choice. Popular flavours include Thai Tea, and The Perfect Matcha. The ice-cream goes at $3.50 for a scoop and $6.50 for two.
Waffles, brownies and smoothies are also available for you to jazz up your dessert experience. If sweet things aren’t what you want, you’ll be pleased to know that they serve savoury mains including pizza and pasta too.

If you’re having some midday pancake cravings, give Wholesome Savour a visit. Situated in the basement atrium of Palais Renaissance, it is a great place to catch up with your girlfriends over all-day breakfast.
For $20, you can get the Portobello Burger, where the typically non-vegan burger buns are substituted with portobello mushrooms. You get the sweetness of the juicy mushroom, the tartness of the beetroot patty and the creaminess of the melted vegan cheese. All in all, a burger comparable—and maybe more flavourful—than your typical non-vegan ones.

The dishes here are creative and packed with flavours. Some dishes to check out are the umami Japanese Kunbu Broth with hand carved Tofu and Vegetable Sashimi on Ice with Oyster-Leaf Shooter Glass.
