Waffl.: A Hidden Café with Savory Waffle Burgers and Unique Lava Milk Drinks

Introduction to Waffl.

Located on Jurong East Road in Singapore, Waffl. offers a unique dining experience featuring savory waffle burgers and distinctive beverages. This café is owned by two young entrepreneurs, Lutfil and Joshua, who had no prior culinary experience before starting their venture. After launching at the Eatbox food court at Tekka Place, they moved to their current location at 343 Jurong East in 2025.

Irresistible Menu Featuring Waffle Burgers

Waffl. opens in the afternoon and usually closes after dinner, making it a perfect stop for those looking to indulge in dessert or late-night snacks. My friends and I began our meal with the smoked salmon waffle burger (S$11.90). This dish comes with two perfectly symmetrical square waffles, filled with sour cream and topped with pieces of smoked salmon garnished with a sprinkle of dried dill.

Interestingly, even though the waffles cooled off while we waited to take photos, they retained their crispiness on the outside and softness on the inside. The rich buttery flavor of the waffles reminded me of the waffles I enjoyed as a child. However, I felt that adding a bit of acidity, like pickles, would enhance the overall flavor profile.

Kimchi Chicken Waffl. Burger

Next, we tried the kimchi chicken waffle burger (S$11.90). The spicy and tangy kimchi was placed underneath a crispy fried chicken thigh, topped with artistic drizzles of gochujang sauce and cheese. This dish truly impressed us; for a moment, all we could hear was the sound of crunching and nods of approval.

The chicken was crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside, and the mild spiciness from the kimchi elevated the flavor. Each bite delivered a delightful zing of sourness and heat, making it hard for us to stop eating.

Unique Lava Milk Drinks

We also couldn’t miss out on the two standout drinks at Waffl.: Matcha Lava Milk and Milo Lava Milk, each priced at S$6.50. You can choose the flavor for these drinks, with options of vanilla or hazelnut. I paired my Matcha Lava Milk with vanilla, and the combination of the subtle bitterness of matcha with the creamy richness of vanilla was simply fantastic.

Exploring the Atmosphere and Service

Upon arriving at Waffl., I found the location not particularly easy to access, yet the café still attracts a steady stream of customers, from adults to children. Especially on a relaxing Monday afternoon, the atmosphere was very pleasant. Even if it requires a bit of a trek, Singaporeans are always willing to seek out delicious food, and Waffl. is a testament to that.

Useful Information for Vietnamese Travelers
