Best Churros in Singapore
2016-02-19
The dessert scene in Singapore is constantly evolving, with the latest addition being Churros, a popular snack in Spain. Churros come in various lengths and are usually coated with cinnamon sugar and dipped in chocolate sauce.
Here’s a list of the Best Churros in Singapore we’ve unearthed for you to take your pick!
Craving for churros at 3am in the morning? No problem. Alegro Churros Bar, located at the heart of Clarke Quay, opens from 6pm to 4am daily. Here, the Churros ($13) are well-fried with a crispy interior whilst staying soft on the inside. Each order comes with cinammon sugar and if you wish, chocolate sauce to dip in.

Besides their famous ondeh-ondeh waffles and soufflé, the Churros ($11) from Butterscotch Café are well worth a try while you are there. This fried dough pastry is coated with a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar and accompanied with the usual chocolate sauce, however of a thicker consistency.

Since establishing in 2014, Churros Factory has been dishing out unconventional flavours such as Ondeh Ondeh Churros ($5), which is drizzled with sweet gula melaka sauce and Barbecue Mayonnaise Egg on Churros ($6.50), which is only available at their Orchard Central outlet. With six outlets all over Singapore, you can’t possibly miss this one.
Various outlets: City Square Mall, I12 Katong, Orchard Central, Westgate, Junction 10, West Coast Plaza
4. Churro 101
A popular Korean churro chain, Churro 101, has finally made its way to Singapore. Their best sellers include Cream Cheese Filled Churros ($4.70) and Dark Chocolate Churro ($5.40), both served on sticks. Our only gripe was that the chocolate could have been just a tad bit more bitter. But otherwise, the churros bag a nice crisp crunch on the outside and is soft and chewy on the inside - just the way it should be!
Various outlets: Bugis+, 313 Somerset
5. Common Man Coffee Roasters
For the uninitiated, Common Man Coffee Roasters is quite possibly the liveliest spot on Martin Road, especially on the weekends. Well known amongst the brunch crowd, the cafe also serves Churros with Chocolate Sauce ($12). The churros here are soft, doughy, and come served on a wooden board, which undoubtedly makes for a good Instagram photo.

6. GRUB
A bistro located within the lush greenery of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, GRUB prides itself in using natural ingredients in its cooking. Served in a cup, their Churros ($9) are homemade and come with dark chocolate and tangy creme anglaise sauce (light pouring custard). The latter is a refreshing change from the usual chocolate sauce.

7. Habitat Coffee
Stranger to none of the cafe hopping crowd, Habitat Coffee does not only serve good coffee but also excellent Churros ($9) as well. Their house-made churros have a crispy exterior and soft interior, and coated with the right amount of cinnamon sugar. Also, the chocolate ganache goes very well with the churros.

8. Mr. Churro
Originally from Korea, Mr. Churro hit our shores in December. Here, the churros are deep-fried to golden brown perfection and comes in many variations. We highly recommend the best-selling Banana Milk Ice Cream Churro ($6.50) but if you prefer something fuss free, go for their Original Churro ($4.50), which is 50 centimetres long and possibly the longest churros you can find in Singapore!
ION Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn #B4-61, Singapore 238801
9. The Saladicious
Located within Food Republic at Shaw House is quite possibly the cheapest churros you'll ever find in Singapore, ironically at a salad stall too. For an affordable price of $3.90, you get 5 pieces of fried dough morsels and a dip of your choice - chocolate or condensed milk.
Shaw House, 350 Orchard Road, Singapore 238868
10. 2am: Dessert Bar
As its name implies, 2am: Dessert Bar is a dessert place situated at Holland Village. The Hot Chocolate ($11) comes accompanied with homemade churros, which are bite-sized and generously dusted with cinnamon sugar. If you can bite off more than you can chew, opt for the extra churros at $4 for you to dip to your heart’s content.
