From tarts and pastries to cakes and affogato, there’s more than one way to get your pistachio fix in Singapore.
Whether you prefer pistachio rich and nutty or paired with coffee, chocolate and fruit, these five spots offer very different takes on the popular flavour.
Here are our 5 picks for pistachio desserts and pastries to try in Singapore.
174 BINGO
If there’s one bake to get at 174 BINGO, make it the Pistachio Tart. The Joo Chiat bakery layers pistachio frangipane and Iranian pistachio praline in a buttery tart shell, before finishing it with vanilla-pistachio cream and crushed pistachios. Rich and decidedly pistachio-forward, it’s one for those who want the nut to be the main event.

Operating Hours: Wed–Fri, 8.30am–4.30pm; Sat–Sun, 8.30am–5.30pm

AiFOKATO
For something a little different, AiFOKATO brings the viral diamond affogato concept to Telok Ayer. Pick the Premium Pistachio gelato and pair it with a hot espresso pour, which melts into the gelato as you eat. The combination of creamy pistachio and bitter espresso makes this a good pick if you prefer your desserts less conventional and with a caffeine kick.
Location: 111 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068580
Operating Hours: Mon–Thu & Sun, 10.30am–9pm; Fri–Sat, 10.30am–10.30pm

Le Matin
Pistachio takes centre stage in Le Matin’s aptly named Pistachio Textures. The cake brings together pistachio crunch, ganache, chiffon and chantilly in different layers, before being topped with Iranian pistachios. Now available at Le Matin Petit in South Buona Vista, it’s an easy choice for anyone who believes there’s no such thing as too much pistachio.
Location: 3 South Buona Vista Road, #01-05, Singapore 118136
Operating Hours: Wed–Sun, 10am–9pm

Brotherbird regularly changes its croissant selection, so keep an eye out for the pistachio flavour when it is on the menu.

Alice Boulangerie
For something made to impress, Alice Boulangerie’s Enchanted turns pistachio into an elaborate whole cake. Roasted pistachio is paired with tangy red fruits and raspberry across two heart-shaped components, with deeper notes of Manjari chocolate and a touch of orange. The finishing touch is Alice Boulangerie’s signature chocolate squirrel perched on top, making this as much of a centrepiece as it is dessert.
Location: 12 Gopeng Street, #01-05/11 Icon Village, Singapore 078877
Operating Hours: Mon–Sat, 10am–10pm; Sun, 10am–6pm
