There are cakes, and then there are cakes. If you've ever fallen down the rabbit hole of Korean-style desserts on social media, you'll know exactly what we're talking about.
Whether it's the multi-layered sponge cakes topped with ultra-smooth buttercream and glistening fruit, or the vintage-inspired lunchbox cakes complete with bows and ribbons — these picture-perfect confections are not the easiest to get your hands on, at least locally.

Which is why Desert Dessert is high on our list of cafes to visit next! The cake haven has two branches: one at Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 (a 3-min walk from Mayflower MRT Station) and another at Lengkok Bahru (a 2-min walk from Redhill MRT Station).
Inside, you'll find a huge array of gorgeous Korean-style cakes, available whole and sliced.

Not in the mood for cake? Pick waffles, croffles, or a gelato to satisfy your sweet tooth instead. We're happy to report that these look just as pretty as their cake counterparts, so you can still get that satisfying picture for the 'gram!

You can also pair your order with artisan tea, coffees, or uniquely flavoured drinks. Some interesting standouts include a certain Watermelon Latte and Grapefruit Tea!
The cafe also boasts a bright and aesthetically pleasing dine-in section, where customers can sit back and catch a break.
