Contemporary cake specialist Dignus Amoris has found a new home at South Beach Avenue, marking the next chapter for the homegrown dessert brand after starting out as a small takeaway kiosk at Pearl’s Hill Terrace. The expanded space allows diners to slow down over beautifully crafted cakes that combine French pastry techniques with Asian-inspired flavours, all while staying true to the brand’s signature low-sugar philosophy.
Each cake is thoughtfully layered and designed to balance flavour rather than sweetness. Standout creations include the Yuenyeung Longan ($15.80), inspired by Hong Kong’s iconic coffee-and-milk-tea drink, featuring black tea cream, Baileys coffee cream, coffee jelly and juicy longan. Those who prefer something richer can opt for the Chestnut Berry ($15), which layers chestnut paste with berry jam and crunchy chestnut pieces for a satisfying contrast in texture. Seasonal flavours also make regular appearances, with combinations such as matcha yuzu, Thai milk tea and salted milk cheese showcasing the café’s creative approach.
With its larger new space and refined range of artisanal desserts, Dignus Amoris offers a destination for those seeking cakes that go beyond the usual café fare. As the menu rotates regularly, each visit brings something different, making the new South Beach Avenue outlet worth returning to for both familiar favourites and seasonal creations.
