JO YI CAFE – Gelato, Waffles & Late Night Desserts Bedok

“Had a really lovely time here. The café has a warm and relaxing vibe, making it a nice spot to unwind. I tried their waffle with ice cream, which was crispy and satisfying. They also have vegetarian dim sum, and it was surprisingly delicious. Honestly, everything I tried was good. My favourites were the chee cheong fun and lotus leaf rice. Both were very flavourful and didn’t feel like typical vegetarian food at all. Yummy!!Their beverages are also refreshing and tasty. Overall, prices are reasonable, and with the great atmosphere plus good food, I’d definitely return again.”

“Tater tots super nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Oolong peach ice cream is good as well. Went at 12am to chill cause they close pretty late. Sitting outside was so comfy it’s those beach chair kinda seats. Will come again! Owner/staff very friendly as well, no pressure/upsell.”

“came here searching for late night impromptu ice cream waffles and was more than delighted with the gem we found! it’s a new unique tea/vegetarian theme cafe - there’s a wide selection of tea to choose from, variety of vegetarian dim sum, and of course ice cream/waffle! it’s relatively affordable and cdc is accepted :) the owner was extremely nice and approachable, shared with us a lot about the cafe’s story and I could feel his genuine and warm personality, I think the cafe theme reflects the warmness too. will definitely be on my go to cafe list, want to try their cheecheongfan too. btw we got hojicha gelato with half waffle!”

“Just discovered a new favorite hangout spot and I’m definitely not going to regret it! This neighborhood late-night dessert shop has been open for about 3 months and is already stealing hearts. They serve gelato, waffles, and even dim sum. I had the pleasure of trying their unofficial mochi waffle (still under R&D), and let me tell you—it’s absolutely roasted perfection! The waffle is perfectly crunchy on the outside yet soft and chewy inside, with a rich, satisfying flavor that hits all the right notes. Truly a masterpiece for waffle lovers. For ice cream, I tried three flavors: • Yoghurt Biscotti – refreshingly sweet and slightly tangy, balanced perfectly and not overpowering. A delight with the waffle! • Pistachio – creamy, nutty, and just the right level of sweetness. A classic done right. • Chrysanthemum Qiji – subtle and floral, not too sweet, with a real chrysanthemum flavor (none of that artificial taste!). Amazing combination with the waffle, not overpowering. I also tried their tater tots with chili dip—crispy, golden, and the dip packs just the right punch of spice. The overall vibe is cozy and fun, perfect for a late-night treat. I’ll definitely be coming back again!”

“Found out about this place randomly and went down straight away for a quick meetup with friends. I love this place, both talking about the service and the waffles. The waffles are so light and yummy. Recommend this place to those looking for a quick ice cream and waffle dessert :)”
