Holland Village’s dessert scene continues to grow, and Sweet Cheeks is the latest name drawing night owls to Lor Mambong. Open late, the gelato spot makes a bold first impression with a striking installation of red spheres and metal poles at its centre — playful, slightly theatrical, and impossible to ignore. It sets the tone for a concept that wants ice cream to feel less routine and more like an experience.
Gelato is clearly the star. Scoops start from $5.50, with premium flavours priced slightly higher, and the selection moves well beyond the usual chocolate-vanilla-strawberry trio. Expect combinations such as Blue Pea Chrysanthemum with Valrhona Chocolate, Bronte Pistachio Pralines, Charcoal Honeycomb and Sea Salt Ecuador Chocolate Sorbet. The flavours lean inventive without feeling gimmicky, balancing familiarity with just enough surprise to spark conversation.
At its core, Sweet Cheeks positions itself as an antidote to the predictable ice cream run. From its packaging to its dine-in setup, the brand focuses on how people interact with gelato — encouraging sharing, lingering and simple pleasures done well. Made fresh daily and driven by a clear sense of fun, it’s the kind of late-night stop designed to leave you walking away with both a sugar rush and a smile.
