This Trendy Pink & White Retro Diner In Joo Chiat Serves Up Sweet Frozen Custards
If American-style diners with a retro flair like OverEasy and Joji's diner are your type of hangout spot, then assemble the crew and get ready to head down to Joo Chiat ASAP! Gwen’s Frozen Custard & Ices looks like something out of a 1950s romcom, only more Instagrammable. This neighbourhood dessert parlour has pulled out all the stops and features cute pink-and-white decor, checkered flooring, and even a vintage telephone.

The star of the menu? Frozen custard, a type of ice cream made with egg yolk! In case you haven't heard of this sweet treat, frozen custard comes with a richer flavour and mouthfeel than ice cream, perfect for those who love their desserts thick and velvety.

You’ll also find a mouthwatering selection of American diner staples that round out the experience — think smashburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, chilli dogs, and thick-cut fries. Whether you're craving something savoury before diving into dessert or you're just here for the sweets, Gwen's has something up your alley!

For the sweet-toothed purists, the frozen custard sundaes are where it’s at. Piled high with toppings like cookie crumble, peanut butter drizzle, brownie chunks, and maraschino cherries, these sundaes are the ultimate nostalgic indulgence.
Not in the mood for something so heavy? Try the house-made ices instead. They’re light, fruity and refreshingly tart, with flavours rotating regularly. Custard shakes are also on offer in fun, retro flavours like root beer float, malted chocolate, and strawberry shortcake.

But it’s not just about the food! With nostalgic tunes, friendly staff dressed in diner-style uniforms and even some iconic Archie comics to complete the look, Gwen’s nails the retro aesthetic without feeling too gimmicky. It's also the perfect place to snap a pic for the ‘gram.
