Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Lumin8 offers a wide selection of gelato and waffles, positioning itself as a late-night dessert spot in Hougang.

We note the extensive flavour range for gelato, with some finding it overly sweet, while others appreciate the variety, including options like Chocolate Delite (no sugar added) and Gianduja.

The waffles, particularly the Nian Gao and Brown Sugar Mochi variations, are frequently highlighted for being crispy outside and fluffy inside.

However, there are inconsistencies in waffle quality, with reports of burnt waffles at $6.80 per piece.

Service experiences also vary, from welcoming staff to those described as uninterested.

While the space is generally quiet and well-lit, some patrons have noted worn-out seating and flickering lights, suggesting maintenance issues.

The pricing, around $10 for a half waffle and a scoop of ice cream, is considered reasonable.

We think Lumin8 is a decent option for those seeking a wide variety of gelato and waffles, especially if you're in the area late at night.

However, be prepared for potential inconsistencies in waffle preparation and service.

Best for a casual, late-night dessert run, but manage expectations regarding overall consistency.

What customers say

Lumin8 is generally well-regarded as a halal dessert spot, offering a wide array of ice cream flavors and unique waffles like Niao Gao and Brown Sugar, with many appreciating the crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside waffle texture.

While some find the ice cream flavors average or overly sweet, and there are occasional issues with burnt waffles or inconsistent staff demeanor, the reasonable pricing and late operating hours are frequently highlighted as positives.

The interior is often noted as clean and quiet, though some seating and lighting maintenance issues have been observed.

The gelato comes in more than 18 flavors to choose from, but it was a bit overly sweet for my taste. The brown sugar mochi waffle is unique, and the taste was decent.

Visited on 27/8 after 9pm. The staff on duty was a young female in her early 20s. She seemed a little uninterested and had a RBF that might come off as unfriendly, though she still did her job properl…

A halal dessert spot. Great choices of ice cream flavours to choose from. The fact that there’s varieties of waffles made it stand out from others. The Malay male staff is welcoming as well. First…

We didn't know that there was this ice cream place just next to Lickers. We literally thought we turned into the wrong carpark. It was a Sunday night when we came, and Lickers was packed as usual, and…
