Froyo in Singapore: Get your frozen yoghurt fix at these 9 spots
There was a time when the walk home after school always included a detour to the nearest froyo shop. Cup in hand, you’d agonise over original or chocolate before piling on Fruit Loops, mochi, and an unapologetic drizzle of caramel sauce.
Froyo’s history in Singapore
Frozen yoghurt, or froyo, was once synonymous with the after-school ritual in Singapore. While one of the city’s earliest entrants Yami Yoghurt had been serving its iconic peach-flavoured yoghurt since the 1980s, the citywide froyo boom didn’t arrive until between 2008 and 2010, when brands such as Frolick, Yoguru, and Sogurt led the charge.
The craze reached new heights in the early 2010s, with the arrival of llaollao and its signature Sanum parfait — a towering layered cup that was almost too photo-worthy to eat. Around the same time, Milk & Honey leaned into the same idea, swapping the usual fruit and cereal toppings for indulgent additions such as macarons and brownies.
It was an early sign of where froyo was headed: Less about fresh fruit, but more about one built around increasingly extravagant toppings. Over time, toppings became increasingly elaborate, from brownies and macarons to honeycomb, cookie cakes and slices of cheesecake.
Eventually, however, frozen yoghurt gave way to other dessert crazes, as soft-serve ice cream, bubble tea and acai bowls took centre stage.
Fast forward to today, and froyo is having its moment again. A new wave of brands — from Australia’s Yo-Chi to South Korea’s Yoajung — is introducing the tangy dessert to a new generation, while familiar names continue to hold their own.
From Spanish imports to Korean and Australian newcomers, here’s where to get your froyo fix in Singapore right now:
1. llaollao
Why visit? When llaollao arrived from Spain in 2013, it reintroduced froyo to Singapore in a different way. While earlier pioneers had already established a following for frozen yoghurt here, llaollao offered a more curated experience that differed from what locals were used to.
What set the froyo chain apart from its earlier competitors was its noticeably richer, creamier texture — a departure from the icier consistency many of the older brands were known for. In a market saturated with options, llaollao has kept things simple, sticking to a single flavour since day one rather than chasing variety. Given how often Singaporeans return for it, the strategy has clearly paid off.
Crowd favourites: The Sanum (S$8.90) remains the signature order. The towering parfait is layered with three fruits, two crunchy toppings, and a sauce of your choice over llaollao’s signature yoghurt. Served in a tall cup, it feels far more indulgent than a simple swirl — it’s also this format that helped build the brand’s devoted following in its early days.
Those after a heartier serving, however, are better off ordering the medium cup (S$5), which comes with three toppings and noticeably more yoghurt. Pair it with the Chococrock sauce, a chocolate drizzle studded with crunchy chocolate bits, or the iconic Biscoff drizzle, which remains a perennial favourite.
2. Yo-Chi Singapore
Why visit? The Melbourne-born chain can be credited with reigniting Singapore’s froyo obsession all over again in 2025. Founded in 2012, Yo-Chi built a cult following in Australia for its playful, self-serve concept before finallymaking its first international foray in August 2025 at Singapore’s Orchard Central. Nine months on, snaking queues still form daily outside its outlets as the brand quickly cements itself as one of Singapore’s hottest froyo names.
The yoghurt is made fresh in-store using real Australian milk instead of powder, giving it a noticeably creamier mouthfeel. It also comes packed with probiotics and live cultures, while remaining fat-free. But what really sets Yo-Chi apart is its expansive self-serve toppings bar, where the combinations are virtually endless.
Crowd favourites: Yo-Chi charges by the weight at S$3.50 per 100g, toppings included, so you’re free to pile on as much or as little as you like. We recommend starting with the signature tart flavour, which strikes a pleasant balance between creamy and tangy without being overly sour. Its clean flavour also makes it the perfect canvas for almost anything from the toppings bar.
One of the latest crowd favourite toppings is the deconstructed Dubai chocolate, a nod to the viral pistachio chocolate trend, featuring a layer of Dubai-style pistachio cream finished with milk chocolate drops. Personally, though, it’s the chocolate chip cookie dough cake that we’d return for — chunky, indulgent, and packed with a soft, fudgy centre that’s hard to resist.
3. Smooy
making in Spain, and has grown globally since it was founded in 2010. It first arrived in Singapore in 2014 and has since expanded to over 10 outlets islandwide.
Unlike most of its competitors, Smooy markets its frozen yoghurt as an ice cream, with flavours like natural yoghurt, chocolate ice cream, and matcha ice cream sitting side by side on the menu despite all being yoghurt-based at heart.
Beyond its core offerings, the brand also rotates seasonal and localised flavours such as pandan, Thai mango, and pistachio, giving regulars a reason to keep coming back.
Crowd favourites: Prices start at S$5.50 for a mini cup with one topping and go up to S$7.50 for a maxi cup with three toppings, making Smooy one of the more affordable froyo options around.
The matcha is a popular pick, offering a lighter alternative for those looking to cut back on sugar. That said, the natural yoghurt remains the go-to choice for most regulars, thanks to its versatility and tangy flavour.
Among the toppings, Fruity Pebbles are a favourite for anyone chasing a hit of childhood nostalgia, while the lychee boba adds a fun burst of fruity sweetness and texture.
4. Yole
Why visit? Yole is another Spanish import that arrived in Singapore in rather dramatic fashion, stepping in to fill the gap left by llaollao’s brief exit from the market in 2017. Since then, it’s carved out its own niche by leaning into the health-conscious market while steadily expanding its menu.
Today, Yole offers a dairy-free, zero-added-sugar ice cream made with oat milk as a vegan option alongside a zero-added-sugar froyo base. The brand also claims its froyo contains just 65 calories per 100g, making it one of the lowest-calorie options for froyo in Singapore.
Crowd favourites: Most regulars keep things simple at Yole, opting for the classic cups. Prices start at S$5.90 for a small cup with one topping and go up to S$7.90 for a large with three toppings.
You’ll find the usual selection of sauces, but regulars swear by Yole’s pistachio sauce for its nutty, savoury contrast to the tart froyo base. Pair it with something sweet, such as Oreo or Lotus Biscoff cookie, for a more balanced combination, or opt for the rainbow chocolate if you’re after a little extra crunch and colour.
5. Yoajung Singapore
Why visit? Yoajung is one of South Korea’s biggest frozen yoghurt brands, with over 650 outlets nationwide and a fan base that includes plenty of K-pop idols. he brand made its Singapore debut at *Scape, riding the same renewed wave of interest in self-serve frozen yoghurt that brought Yo-Chi to Orchard Road around the same time.
Unlike Yo-Chi’s pay-by-weight model, however, Yoajung uses fixed pricing for both its yoghurt base and toppings. This makes costs more predictable, but if you’re the type to pile on a variety of toppings, the bill can still add up fairly quickly.
Crowd favourites: Prices start at S$3 for a small cup and S$5 for a medium one, making it one of the more affordable froyo options in Singapore before toppings.
Two toppings stand out here: The honeycomb (S$7) and the chocolate Shell (S$2). The former is exactly what it sounds like — a generous slab of crystallised honeycomb that’s still a relatively uncommon topping in Singapore.
The latter works much like a regular chocolate drizzle, hardening into a thin, crackable shell around the yoghurt. Unlike most chocolate shells, however, Yoajung’s comes in flavours such as mango, mint, and strawberry, adding both crunch and a pop of flavour beyond the usual chocolate coating.
6. Cocobella Lifebar
Why visit? Hailing from Australia, Cocobella was founded in 2010 before making its Singapore debut at One Holland Village in 2024 with Cocobella Lifebar. The retail-cafe concept is exclusive to Singapore, which means that for now, it’s the only place in the world where you can get Cocobella’s coconut-based frozen yoghurt.
It’s a great choice for those who find traditional froyo too tart or are looking for a vegan alternative. Instead of the usual dairy-based yoghurt, Cocobella uses a coconut yoghurt base that’s milder in flavour, naturally sweet, and just as creamy. Flavours include chocolate, taro, vanilla, and more.
Crowd favourites: The Choc Nut Nana bowl (from S$11 for a regular bowl) pairs the chocolate coconut froyo with blueberry, banana, peanut butter, and cacao nibs. The real standout, though, is the house-made cacao granola, which incorporates rice puffs for a lighter, crispier texture than traditional granola. Pro tip: We recommend swapping the chocolate base for the vanilla coconut froyo, which lets the toppings shine a little more.
If you’d rather keep things simple, ask for a plain froyo cup (S$5). Although it’s not listed on the menu, you can order any flavour without toppings. It’s a wallet- and calorie-friendly alternative that still feels satisfying, thanks to the natural sweetness of the coconut yoghurt.
7. Soft Spot Acai
Why visit? Soft Spot Acai made its name in Bangkok in May 2024, quickly going viral and expanding across the city. In October 2025, it ventured outside of Thailand for the first time with the opening of its Joo Chiat outlet. The brand built its following on a simple principle: Pure Brazilian acai soft serve made without added sugar, fillers, or preservatives — a notable departure from many acai spots that rely on added fruit or sweeteners to round out the flavour.
While acai remains the star of the show, Soft Spot Acai also offers Greek yoghurt soft serve: Choose from two flavours — Biscoff and a rotating seasonal flavour — or opt for a swirl that combines both the acai and yoghurt bases.
Crowd favourites: The Softspot for Love (from S$9.40) is the brand’s bestseller layering strawberries, almond flakes, digestive crumbs, and granola over a base of choice. It’s finished with a pistachio butter sauce that partially sets into a delicate shell, adding a satisfying bit of crunch.
If you’d rather customise your bowl, build-your-own options start from S$5.50 for the Baby size.
There are some unique toppings to choose from, including the popular pistachio feuilletine crunch (additional S$1.50), which adds a delicate, wafer-like crispiness to the soft serve. You’ll also find trendy toppings such as kunafa (additional S$1.50) if you’re after something a little more indulgent.
8. Sprinkles Frozen Yoghurt (formerly Frozlicious)
Why visit? A family-run, fully halal-certified frozen yoghurt brand, Sprinkles Frozen Yoghurt has been around since November 2013. Previously known as Frozilicious, it’s one of the few halal-certified froyo spots in Singapore, making it a dependable choice for Muslim diners after some frozen yoghurt.
Beyond its retail outlets, Sprinkles is perhaps best known for its live frozen yoghurt stations at weddings, corporate events, and other celebrations — a business that’s helped it stay relevant even as newer, trendier brands have come and gone. The frozen yoghurt is prepared fresh daily and marketed as a low-fat dessert.
Crowd favourites: Sprinkles has over 10 flavours to choose from, most of them fruit-forward. Among those, the passion fruit frozen yoghurt (S$3) is one of the more popular picks for a tart, refreshing option that stays true to froyo’s tangy roots. If you prefer something sweeter, the caramel frozen yoghurt (S$3) is a good alternative, offering a richer, more indulgent finish.
9. Sogurt
Why visit? One of the brands at the forefront of Singapore’s first froyo boom, Sogurt was said to be the country’s first fully self-serve frozen yoghurt chain when it launched in 2010. Founder Lee Li Ping started the brand after discovering the concept while studying in the US, and it eventually grew to a network of 15 outlets at its peak.
Sogurt has since moved away from brick-and-mortar stores, pivoting instead to a halal-certified range of ready-to-eat frozen yoghurt sold online in pints and mini cups. For those who grew up swirling their own froyo at its outlets, this is about as close as it gets to revisiting that era today.
Crowd favourites: The natural and lychee flavours (S$4.95 for a mini cup; $14.95 for a pint) are the ones longtime fans will recognise best, having been part of the original self-serve lineup back in the day.
Among the newer additions, the Avo-Melaka (S$5.95 for a mini cup; S$16 for a pint) stands out as a distinctly local flavour, pairing the creaminess of avocado with the caramel notes of gula Melaka.
