We’ve all been there – getting struck with that unhealthy and inconvenient craving for ice cream at the strangest hours, typically late at night. Or maybe some conversations with friends just can’t be stopped and you need another place to go for some good dessert when all the other places are closing.

These cafes open till as late as 2AM, so you can treat yourself to some ice cream and soft buttery waffles to go with – both are good on their own but better together!

Check out our other cafe articles here:

1. Lickers – till 2AM daily

Creamy handcrafted ice cream set atop golden waffles and topped with icing sugar? It’s a yes from us, and you’d get this at none other than Lickers. This hidden gem in Kovan is certainly one of a kind with its neon wall decor.

All their ice cream is made only from milk, eggs and cream – without any synthetic flavouring or use of generic pre-mixes. A single scoop of ice cream will be about $3.50 while getting waffles with a double scoop of ice cream is $10. Flavours are always changing depending on whatever fresh produce comes in the store, so pop in any day to see what you can find!
