Nimbo

  • Cafe
  • Ice cream

Nimbo is a hidden specialty dessert cafe in Hardware Street focusing on seasonal bingsu and toast.

The current menu is heavily inspired by quirky desserts across Asia such as Taiwanese peanut milk and mango pudding bingsu. For something savoury sweet, try their mentaiko mochi toast. Don't skip sweet treats like the everchanging pudding cups and cookie sandwich.

All desserts elements are made in-house or by their friends Raya and Kori Ice Cream.
