Halloween Bakery Near Me in Katong: Awfully Chocolate's Ghost Marshmallow Boo-ffet

Awfully Chocolate's Halloween Boo-ffet runs on 30 and 31 October 2026 from 7.30pm to 9pm at its flagship Bakery & Cafe, 131 East Coast Road in Katong, and costs S$48++ per person. The spread is built around brownies topped with ghost-shaped marshmallows and desserts decorated with eyeballs, which makes this the most chocolate-heavy answer to halloween bakery near me on the east side of Singapore.

Awfully Chocolate started in Katong. Lyn Lee left her job as a lawyer, worked on a recipe with a group of friends and opened the first cake shop in 1998 with one item on the menu, a handcrafted dark chocolate cake. She expanded slowly and only opened a second store in 2004, paid for with profits from the first. The brand now has more than ten stores, cafes and restaurants in Singapore and franchised outlets in China.

The East Coast Road flagship is the brand's full bakery and cafe rather than a cake counter, and it is the only Awfully Chocolate site running the Halloween Boo-ffet. That is the reason to come here instead of a mall outlet: the Halloween offer is a sit-down dessert evening with ghost marshmallows and eyeball desserts, not a boxed cake you carry home. The 90-minute slot also keeps it short enough for families with school the next morning.

The Halloween spread centres on the brand's dark chocolate. Expect the brownies with ghost marshmallows, eyeball-topped dessert creations and the cafe's own showpiece, which it bills as the world's first chocolate raclette wheel. Developed with agricultural scientists from Wilmar, the wheel is a half-round of chocolate heated until the surface melts, then scraped onto a golden crepe at the table. It is the one thing in the room you will not find at another bakery in Singapore.

The ++ in the S$48++ price means service charge and GST are added on top, so budget a little over S$55 a head once both are applied. Halloween guides in October 2026 single out Awfully Chocolate as one of the more kid-friendly options in the city because the theme is spooky goodies rather than scares, so this is a sugar evening for families rather than a haunted-house experience.

The Boo-ffet runs on two nights only, and the 7.30pm start is fixed, so book through the reserve page on the cafe's website, which routes to Chope. Friday 30 October is the easier night to get; Saturday 31 October is Halloween itself and will go first. If both nights are full, the cafe's website has a waitlist form, and the regular weekend buffet is an easier booking on the same chocolate theme.

That weekend buffet runs Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 10am to 3pm at S$38++ per person, with kids under ten at half price and a 1.5-hour dining limit. It includes fresh bakes and pastries, a live donut bar with nama doughnuts, Awfully Chocolate's hei ice cream in small cones, and the raclette wheel. If you cannot get a Halloween slot, the weekend buffet on 1 November gives you most of the chocolate without the costume crowd.

If you come on a weekday for a normal meal instead, the lunch menu runs from 12pm to 3pm. Chef Tan's garlic soup is S$12 with grilled focaccia, a Caesar salad is S$15 and fish and chips are S$21, and the lunch set starts from S$25. The house lemonade, made with whole lemons, mint and cucumber, is S$8 and is the one drink worth ordering if you are not having chocolate.

Dinner from 6pm to 9pm is a S$38 set whose starters are savoury riffs on desserts: a savoury corn canele with caramelised bacon, a burnt basque cheesecake made with roasted tomatoes and mushrooms, and a mille-feuille layered with mushrooms. One honest call: skip the S$38 dinner set on Boo-ffet nights. The Halloween seating starts at 7.30pm, and a full dinner before 90 minutes of chocolate is more than most people will finish.

East Coast Road is one of the best streets in Singapore for an evening walk. Kim Choo Kueh Chang at 109 East Coast Road sells Nyonya dumplings and kueh a few doors west, and the Katong Antique House at 208 East Coast Road keeps a private collection of Peranakan objects. Turn up Koon Seng Road for the pastel terrace houses that most visitors photograph, a ten-minute walk from the cafe.

If you want something savoury before dessert, the laksa shops near the junction of East Coast Road and Ceylon Road are a short walk west. Marine Parade station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, opened in 2024, is the nearest MRT, around ten minutes on foot. Many buses run along East Coast Road itself, and taxis can stop outside the shophouse, which is easier than parking on a Halloween weekend.

This suits families with primary-school kids, couples who want a dessert date that is themed without being frightening, and anyone who grew up on the original Awfully Chocolate cake and wants to see the flagship. It is not for anyone after a takeaway Halloween cake for a party: the Boo-ffet is an eat-in event, and the Halloween desserts are part of the buffet rather than a separate cake menu.

Address: Awfully Chocolate Bakery & Cafe, 131 East Coast Road, Singapore 428816. Halloween Boo-ffet: 30 and 31 October 2026, 7.30pm to 9pm, S$48++ per person. Regular hours on the website: weekday lunch 12pm to 3pm, dinner 6pm to 9pm, weekend buffet 10am to 3pm. Reservations go through the reserve page on acbakerycafe.com, with a waitlist option when slots are full.

Drinks and bakes are listed as available all day until sold out, so a late-afternoon visit can mean a smaller pastry counter. Come before 3pm if the bakery case is what you want, and come at 7.30pm on the Halloween nights if the ghost marshmallows are the point. Either way, book ahead, because the shophouse is not large and the waitlist exists for a reason.
