Over the span of a year, I found myself exploring eight different frozen yogurt shops, one weekend at a time.
A cousin dragged me to Yo-Chi first. Then a rainy afternoon in Bugis. Then a quiet Sunday in Joo Chiat, where I sat with a swirl of açaí and yoghurt and watched the street go by.
By the time I’d been to all eight, I realized I had opinions. So here they are.
One honest thing before we start. Frozen yoghurt isn’t the same as traditional ice cream, and that’s the point. Compared to a rich, full-fat scoop, it usually carries less fat and fewer calories, and many of these places make theirs with live cultures. If you’re going to have something cold and sweet in this heat, it’s a gentler choice. It’s also, depending on the toppings you choose, a surprisingly delicious one. That’s all I’ll claim for it.
What follows isn’t a ranking. It’s just where I went, what I remember, and who each place is really for.
1. Yo-Chi (Orchard Central): Great Flavours and a Thick, Creamy Bowl
Nearest MRT: Somerset, basically connected, about 1–2 minutes on foot
Price: budget-friendly
This was the one that started it. You dispense your own yoghurt, pile on your own toppings, and pay by weight. The yoghurt is made with Australian milk and live cultures, and the first pull from the machine came out creamier than I expected. Thick, tangy, and refreshing in a way that reminded me that good yoghurt doesn’t need much help.
I ordered the Signature Tart, tangy without tipping into sour, at S$3.50 per 100g including toppings. Then I got greedy at the toppings bar. The Dubai-style pistachio cream with chocolate drops is genuinely good, and the cookie dough cake is dangerous. Add some fresh berries and a little granola on top and you’ve got a bowl worth lingering over. My cup came to more than I’d planned, which is the lesson here.
The room was loud, the queue steady, seats hard to find. It’s an experience more than a quiet treat. I’ve since heard the Star Vista outlet, which opened in May 2026, has more room to sit, which sounds like relief.
Best for: Groups where everyone wants something different.
Avoid if: You dislike crowds, or your hand gets heavy at a toppings bar.
Insider tip: Build the yoghurt first, then add dense toppings like brownie and cookie dough selectively. Fruit, a few nuts, and a modest swirl keep the weight and the bill sensible.
2. llaollao (Wisma Atria): The Benchmark for Tart, Creamy Greek Yoghurt
Nearest MRT: Bugis, directly linked, about 1–3 minutes’ walk
Price: budget-friendly
If Yo-Chi is the playground, llaollao is the old reliable. This Spanish-style chain doesn’t chase a dozen base flavours. It does one tart, creamy yoghurt and does it consistently. For anyone comparing the best yogurt in Singapore, llaollao is the benchmark. I’ve ended more shopping trips here than I can count, and the taste holds up every time.
The famous order is the Sanum at S$8.90, layered with three fruits, two crunchy toppings and a sauce. It’s built for variety. But in my experience, if you actually want more yoghurt and less clutter, the medium cup at around S$5 with three toppings is the smarter order. Chococrock and the Lotus Biscoff sauce are the ones I keep returning to.
A small honest note. Overload a cup and it can turn into a bit of a mess by the last few spoonfuls. Order with restraint and it holds together well.
Best for: A quick, dependable dessert after shopping.
Avoid if: You want dairy-free froyo or lots of base flavours.
Insider tip: Sanum for variety, medium cup if your priority is actually tasting more yoghurt. Decide which you want before you reach the counter.
3. Yolé (Bugis+): The Home of Flavoured Yoghurts with Zero Added Sugar
Nearest MRT: Bugis, about 3–5 minutes’ walk
Price: mid-range
Yolé leans health-conscious, and it’s honest about it. Zero-added-sugar frozen yoghurt sits alongside dairy-free, oat-milk options, which makes it one of the easier stops for a group with a vegan friend or two. If you’re watching calories or cutting back on sugar compared to traditional ice cream, this is the place to check first.
I went with a classic cup, which runs around S$5.90 for a small with one topping up to S$7.90 for a large with three. The pistachio sauce is the thing to get, especially next to Oreo or Biscoff. That savory-nutty edge is what I remember most.
I’ll be straight with you though. The classic yoghurt is the star. Some of the vegan flavours felt a little flatter to me, and I’ve read others say the same. Nothing wrong with them, just not the reason I’d come back.
Best for: Anyone watching sugar, and groups with dairy-free diners.
Avoid if: You want the rich, indulgent feel of traditional ice cream.
Insider tip: Pistachio sauce works best with just one sweet crunchy topping. Load it up with too much sugar and you lose the contrast that makes it interesting.
4. Yoajung (*SCAPE): K-Style Flavoured Yoghurts with Mango, Strawberry, and More
Nearest MRT: Somerset, about 5–7 minutes’ walk
Price: mid-range
Yoajung brings the Korean yoghurt-ice-cream format to Singapore, and it feels it. K-pop energy, a wall of toppings, and a young crowd taking photos before the first spoonful. What I appreciated is that it doesn’t charge by total weight. Base and toppings have fixed prices, so you know where you stand from the start.
A yoghurt base runs from S$3 small to S$5 medium, with toppings from around S$1.30. The showpiece is the whole honeycomb at about S$7, and there’s a Chocolate Shell for around S$2 that hardens over the yoghurt in flavours like mango and strawberry. The yoghurt itself is creamy and sweet-tart, easy to like. It’s one of those places that makes you feel like a big fan of froyo even if you weren’t one walking in.
Here’s the catch. The base is affordable, but the premium toppings creep up fast. I watched a simple cup turn into one of the pricier desserts on this whole list.
Best for: K-food fans, younger groups, and photo-friendly outings.
Avoid if: You’re on a budget and can’t resist add-ons.
Insider tip: Skip five ordinary toppings. Spend the budget on one signature feature, honeycomb or a flavoured shell, so the bowl actually feels different from every other froyo cup.
5. Cocobella Lifebar (One Holland Village): Dairy-Free Froyo That Beats Traditional Ice Cream for Coconut Lovers
Nearest MRT: Holland Village, about 3–5 minutes’ walk
Price: mid-range
This is the one I’d send a coconut lover to, and warn a coconut skeptic away from. Cocobella uses coconut yoghurt instead of dairy, so the froyo comes out milder and naturally sweeter, softer on the tongue than the tart Spanish style. If regular froyo has ever felt too sour, or traditional ice cream too heavy, this is the fix.
I had the Choc Nut Nana, from around S$11, with blueberry, banana, peanut butter and cacao nibs. The house-made cacao granola with rice puffs was the quiet standout, more than the froyo itself. There’s also a plain froyo at about S$5, though it isn’t loudly advertised. The natural, whole-food ingredients and the honest packaging are a good sign before you even taste anything.
The café itself is easy to sit in. Relaxed, unhurried, the kind of place for a slow catch-up over a delicious bowl.
Best for: Vegans, dairy-free diners, and unhurried café afternoons.
Avoid if: You dislike coconut. It’s in nearly everything here.
Insider tip: Ask for the S$5 plain froyo even if it’s not on show. And try swapping the chocolate base in Choc Nut Nana for vanilla, so the banana and peanut butter come through.
6. Soft Spot Açaí (Joo Chiat): Greek Yoghurt Soft Serve Worth the Trip
Nearest MRT: Marine Parade, roughly 10 minutes on foot
Price: mid-range
Soft Spot is technically an açaí specialist, but its Greek yoghurt soft serve is why it’s here. The real trick is that you can swirl the two together, yoghurt and pure Brazilian açaí in one cup. That combination is the reason to make the trip east, and for fans of thick, tangy Greek yoghurt, it’s one of the most satisfying options in Singapore.
I ordered the Softspot for Love, from S$9.40, with strawberries, almond flakes, digestive crumbs, granola and pistachio butter. Build-your-own starts around S$5.50, with add-ons like pistachio feuilletine crunch and kunafa at about S$1.50 each. The açaí tastes clean, no added sugar or filler fruit, and it shows. The protein from the Greek yoghurt base makes the whole bowl feel a little more substantial too.
I remember sitting outside afterward, the Joo Chiat shophouses in the afternoon light, spoon scraping the bottom of the cup. It’s a good excuse to wander that part of town.
Best for: East-side café hopping and açaí lovers.
Avoid if: You want classic tart froyo with a huge toppings counter.
Insider tip: Order the yoghurt-açaí swirl rather than picking just one. It’s the format that makes Soft Spot different from everywhere else on this list.
7. SMÖOY (Multiple Outlets): Flavoured Yoghurts That Go Far Beyond Farmers Union Basics
Nearest MRT: City Hall for the Funan outlet, about 5–8 minutes’ walk
Price: mid-range
SMÖOY sits somewhere between frozen yoghurt and soft-serve, and that’s what makes it worth discovering. If you grew up eating plain Farmers Union or Meiji yoghurt at home, SMÖOY is what happens when that idea gets taken further. There’s natural yoghurt, yes, but also yoghurt-based chocolate and matcha, plus rotating flavours that have included pandan, Thai mango and pistachio here in Singapore.
I went with natural yoghurt on my first visit, then matcha the second time because someone told me to stop being boring. A Mini with one topping starts around S$5.50, a Maxi with three around S$7.50. The Fruity Pebbles topping brought back something childish and good; lychee boba added a fruity, chewy contrast. Affordable, easy, and almost never far from wherever you are in Singapore.
You’ll find it in malls like Funan, NEX, JEM and Parkway Parade. It’s a quick mall dessert, not an artisanal café moment, and it’s comfortable being exactly that.
Best for: Anyone bored of plain natural froyo, and families wanting variety.
Avoid if: You’re after a sit-down, crafted café experience.
Insider tip: Ask what the rotating flavour is before defaulting to natural yoghurt. The seasonal and local ones are the main reason to pick SMÖOY over the Spanish chains.
8. Sprinkles / Frozilicious (Roxy Square): Simple, Honest Yoghurt That Doesn't Try to Be Ice Cream
Nearest MRT: Marine Parade, roughly 8–12 minutes’ walk
Price: budget-friendly
I saved the most local for last. This family-run Singapore business has been making yoghurt daily since November 2013, and it specializes in halal frozen yoghurt, with around ten flavours. No viral toppings bar, no crowds queueing for a photo. Just yoghurt, made fresh, sold plainly. Unlike the brands you stock at home from supermarkets like Chobani or Marigold, this one you eat standing still, at a humble counter in Roxy Square.
The passion fruit at around S$3 is refreshing and tart, the closest thing here to classic froyo. The caramel, also about S$3, is richer and sweeter for those days. At three dollars a cup, it’s the most honest value on this whole list. Simple ingredients, no fuss, no extra cost for things you didn’t ask for.
There’s something I liked about the quiet of it. No fanfare, a modest shopfront, a business that’s simply kept going for over a decade. They also run live froyo stations for weddings and events, which feels like the kind of thing you’d only know from asking.
Best for: Muslim diners, families, and anyone who prefers backing a long-running local name.
Avoid if: You want a fashionable self-serve bar or an Instagram café.
Insider tip: If you’ve got a gathering coming up, ask about their live frozen-yoghurt station. It’s more than tubs off a shelf, and not many people think to enquire.
Before You Go: Choose What Fits Your Time and Taste
Eight cups, eight different reasons to sit down.
Some I’d return to for the fuss, like Yo-Chi on a lazy group afternoon. Some for the quiet, like a three-dollar passion fruit at Roxy Square, or a slow açaí and Greek yoghurt swirl in Joo Chiat with the afternoon light coming through.

You don’t need to try them all in one go. Pick the one that fits the day you’re having. A crowd and a craving for toppings, or a still afternoon and a spoon and a tasty bowl of something cold and tangy.
Go with an open mind, and let the cold, sweet thing do its quiet work in this heat. That’s usually enough.
