The best chocolate shops in Singapore

This one needs no introduction. One of Singapore’s most popular homegrown chocolate and cake shops, Awfully Chocolate is best known for its dark chocolate and cookie collection, and its signature dark chocolate cake that has irresistible layers of luscious, dark chocolate fudge. Keep your eyes peeled for its seasonal or collaboration boxes too – some standouts include a Harry Potter-inspired box complete with the character's wands wrought beautifully in pure chocolate. 

Luxury handcrafted bonbons with unexpected fillings and flavours, brought to you by fun-loving people truly passionate about all things chocolate. Mr Bucket Chocolaterie's new Dempsey factory has Singapore’s first-ever build-your-own chocolate slab station, an indoor and outdoor dining experience, and a new chocolate dispensary where you can buy your favourite chocolate treats sustainably. If you're shopping online, we recommend building your own box of six or twelve chocolate bon bons – you can't go wrong with flavours like rum and raisin, sea salt caramel, and negroni classic. 

Delicious, dark, pure. The emphasis at Embrace Chocolate, a boutique bean-to-bar chocolate shop on Joo Chiat Road, is on creating vegan and gluten-free, single-origin dark chocolate bars with no added artificial flavours or preservatives. The assorted varieties of their signature dark chocolate bars are sold individually so customers can pick and choose the chocolate they like – and there’s always a special edition on offer (think fruit and nut, candied orange or mocha).

Heralded as Singapore’s very own female Willy Wonka, a box of Janice Wong’s artisanal gourmet chocolates is sure to earn you huge brownie points. Serving up a wide range of gorgeous confectionery products, custom chocolate bon bons and 3D printed chocolates, artisanal cakes, cookies and ice-cream, the Janice Wong Singapore brand is an obvious choice when it comes to luxe chocolate gifting.

Specialising in small batch, preservative- and substitute-free handcrafted chocolates and confections made from scratch, Fossa Chocolate is Singapore's first bean-to-bar chocolate company, named after the cougar-like fossa animal that is unique to the forests in Madagascar. Comprising only cacao beans and sugar, Fossa’s single origin dark chocolate range is organic and vegan, while it’s artisan chocolate range boasts unique flavours such as salted egg cereal chocolate, lychee rose, pistachio cranberry rose, chilli peanut praline, and sea salt.  

Founded in mid-2013, Leela’s Fine Chocolates' luxury handmade artisanal chocolates are made from the finest European couverture chocolate and natural ingredients, all sourced locally wherever possible. Founded by a lawyer-turned-chocolatier Leela Titus who earned her stripes at Ecole School, the luxury handmade brand has treats ranging from classic bars, inventive flavoured chocolate treats, and even to quirky edible footwear. 

Best known for their customisable dessert boxes, cakes, chocolates and cookies, Chocolate Anatomy is home to some of Singapore’s most popular chocolate truffles. Its classic chocolate truffle is a deep, dark 64%, but more unusual delights include ma la truffle, cardamom truffle and pandan truffle (minimum order of 20 pieces). Chocolate Anatomy is also known of its fudgey brownies and chocolate cake. 

We can’t agree more with a motto that says “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt”. Anjali Chocolat has been creating handcrafted luxury chocolates with 100 percent natural ingredients since 2014, with the signature Singapore Lah collection, showcasing the best of local flavours such as teh tarik, kaya toast, Chinese five spice, and gula melaka. Anjali Chocolat also has exquisite chocolate bars – start yourself off with its box of 15 assorted chocolate tasting squares ($21) or go wild with beautiful loaded bars like the creme brulee chocolate bar ($15), Let's Party! milk chocolate bar ($15) or white chocolate bar with cranberries and pink peppercorn ($7). 

You know you’re in good hands when a doctor and a chocolatier come together to handcraft healthier chocolate indulgences using no-sugar-added recipes only. Chocoelf also embraces its Singapore roots with chocolatey desserts boasting Singapore flavours – think dainty bon bons in flavours like earl grey tarik, bandung rose, ondeh melaka and kaya pandan. Pick and mix six ($20) or up to 25 ($80) of these confections for yourself or as a gift.
