Around Cafe - Around Cafe

though is a small cafe, the ice cream and waffle are tasty and quite a variety choices available. the shop opens till late which is good hangout place for people who are free only after 10pm.

They finally opened on 1st April after weeks of renovations! Still the most aesthetic cafe in SG in my opinion. Ordered strawberry milk with waffle - ice cream was not bad! Definitely doesn’t taste like those artificial strawberry syrup.

Waffle tasted good. The flavour I choose for ice cream is blueberry yogurt abit bland but not that bad. Nice place to go very good location in the neighbourhood. Very friendly staff. Is beside the condo not in the condo so hope this help you all in finding the place.

We were there on a Saturday afternoon at 430pm. The sun was shining into the cafe and the ice cream at the counter was literally melting away. Almost all the seats were in the sun and the aircon was not strong enough to cool the place. Suggest the business to put up solar films and perhaps put some plants to help block out some heat. And may need to install more powerful aircon or fans. And having to eat in such heat, the cold water could have been served free instead of charging 50 cents for it. We ordered double scoop on waffles - chocolate and mandarin ice cream. They served us chocolate and Nutella instead. I raise the mistake to the server and she walk off telling her colleague about the mistake and did not acknowledge or apologise for the mistake. She instead of bringing the waffle back to add the correct scoop of ice cream, she returned with a scoop of mandarin ice cream in a cup. So we end up dumping the scoop of mandarin ice cream on the waffles ourselves. The waffles was undercooked, the ice cream and chocolate sauce was overly sweet. Quite disappointed with the experience since the food blog had raved about it. We left without finishing our food and drinks. I do not think we would visit again, especially not in the day time.

Not too bad attempt at a ice cream shop. Basic ice cream with decent waffles. Ice cream tastes like every other ice cream store out there with additional charges($1) for certain flavours. From what I saw, quite a number of ice cream requires a top up. Ice cream was pricey for their taste but given that they open till late, I’ll have to accept it. Service was messy and non existent. Ice water is charged at 50cents per cup. Overall not too bad, but there could be alot more improvement.

Basic ice cream shop with a wide variety of flavours. a single scoop was $4.20 while a premium scoop is an additional $1 and a cone another additional $1. got the hojicha which was a little icy, flavour was not very strong and had a milky taste to it. we also got the strawberry cheesecake, had a slightly sour taste to it which we enjoyed staff were friendly, portions were generous, but taste could have been better :)

I would recommend Wan Wan Thai Cafe over this. Food and service is much better and it’s open until 3AM, last order at 2.30AM. Around Cafe (Tampines) has extremely poor service and long wait time. Seems like their own staff took up 2 tables and ordered maybe 1 drink despite the crowd. Also, somehow forgot our order. (and did not apologize nor show any form of remorse.) Several tables got their waffles and ice cream served first even though we arrived first. (Also got one of our orders wrong.) Last order is at 1AM even though they close at 2AM, but 8PM to 1AM is very crowded and packed. So don’t bother coming down after 8PM. The waffle is decent (but not worth the wait), and only a few of their ice cream is decent. Don’t bother trying out their cakes/brownies and cookies (can be found at the counter area)... we have tried it and they taste really bad.. one of them smells bad too and the next day we had diarrhea (not sure if it’s because of it though)

Second time visited this cafe. I would say one of the nice waffle I have eaten in Tampines. The waffle has the right thickness, crispy outside and fluffy inside, not too sweet just nice to go along with the ice cream. Tried their dark chocolate, Hazelnut Rocher, Pistachio and chrysanthemum. The dark chocolate is good. For the Pistachio ice cream, it has a strong Pistachio taste and not too sweet, I like it. Chrysanthemum was a good try!
