Gelare recently opened at Star Vista with an interesting outdoor concept and I thought it will be stuffy considering it isn't air-conditioned with alfresco seating. Thankfully, the cafe of about 20 seating capacity is well sheltered and has ceiling fans on the ceiling to cool patrons down. Still feeling warm given the humid tropical Singapore weather, my friends and I decided to order some waffles and ice-cream.We had the Choc Choc Chunk Yogurt on Half Waffle ($8.60) and we regretted it.

Gelare recently opened at Star Vista with an interesting outdoor concept and I thought it will be stuffy considering it isn't air-conditioned with alfresco seating. Thankfully, the cafe of about 20 seating capacity is well sheltered and has ceiling fans on the ceiling to cool patrons down. Still feeling warm given the humid tropical Singapore weather, my friends and I decided to order some waffles and ice-cream.
We had the Choc Choc Chunk Yogurt on Half Waffle ($8.60) and we regretted it. This chocolate is unlike the taste of chocolate ice-cream as it has a awkward sourish tinge to it which somehow has the pina colada aftertaste. We choice to have the waffles drizzled with maple syrup but when it was served, it was almost non-existential. The texture of the waffles wasn't fluffy as what we have expected too.
Feeling dissatisfied, we ordered a Blueberry Cheesecake Ice-cream on Half Waffle ($8.60) and we were surprise that after 10 minutes, it still wasn't served yet. I had to check with the manager to see if they have prepared it yet. Later, he told me that the order wasn't keyed into the system and the staff we ordered from earlier had changed shift. I thought that this service lapse was terrible and really unprofessional. :huff y:He then quickly rush to prepare my orders and have it served. This time, the waffles was slightly better with a slight crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Pretty good I thought and indeed, having an ice-cream tasted so much better compared to yogurt.
Overall, I don't think I'll be returning to this brunch of Gelare again given the poor service unless I have no other choice of desserts available.
