Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

We think Cream In A Cup offers a standard gelato experience, with several reviewers noting the ice cream itself is average and likely sourced from a supplier.

The golden vanilla at $4.50 is highlighted as a decent option.

However, a recurring theme in customer feedback points to significant service issues, particularly with an unwelcoming and inattentive male staff member, even during quiet periods.

This has led to a perceived lack of hospitality, with customers feeling ignored or unwelcome upon entry.

While the ambiance is described as cozy, the overall experience is often marred by these service shortcomings and a lack of basic amenities like serviettes or accessible water.

We'd recommend Cream In A Cup only if you're in the immediate Hougang area and simply need a quick, no-frills ice cream fix, but be prepared for potentially indifferent service.

What customers say

Cream In A Cup receives mixed reviews, with a significant portion of feedback focusing on inconsistent and often unwelcoming staff interactions, particularly from a male staff member.

While some find the gelato and beverages to be average or decent, specific flavors like Dark Chocolate and Lemon Tart are noted as disappointing.

The ambiance is generally described as cozy but lacking, with suggestions for improvements like background music.
