Food and beverage trends sure are a weird phenomenon huh? If anyone told us a decade ago that cheese and tea would go well together, we absolutely wouldn’t have taken you seriously. Fast forward to today and you’ll be shocked by the options customers have when deciding on where to buy cheese tea in Singapore from! From original cheese tea propagators to innovative newcomers, here are the best places in Singapore to get your cheese tea fix!
Best cups of cheese tea in Singapore
1. LiHO
As the frontrunner of the cheese tea craze in Singapore since 2017, it’s no surprise to see how many bubble tea fans immediately think of LiHO when asked about cheese tea. While loyal Gong Cha fans might shun the LiHO name, one can’t deny that LiHO does a fantastic job of meeting the demand for cheese tea in Singapore with its quality beverages.
Must-Try Drink – Cheese Guan Yin ($4.10)
Out of the many cheese teas on offer, LiHO’s Cheese Guan Yin is the clear winner here with its one-two combination of guan yin oolong tea and savoury cheese foam. From the initial bitterness to the creamy aftertaste, LiHO’s popular beverage clearly proves cheese and tea can perfectly complement each other.

BreadTalk sure has been busy in importing famous tea franchises to Singapore! TaiGai stands out from the crowd of cheese tea in Singapore by offering customers milk cheese crowns instead of the usual cheese foam topping. For example, the cheese foam in their Fruity Milky Kiss series is mixed with fruits unique to each beverage so every milk cheese crown has a different type of sweetness and pulpiness!
Must-Try Drink – Pulpy Pineapple Kiss ($6)
If you’re craving something different for a change, check out TaiGai’s Pulpy Pineapple Kiss.

The drink is also blanketed by a thick layer of milk cheese foam that further elevates its refreshing properties!
