Home-grown gelato favourite Tom’s Palette to shut after 21 years
Tom’s Palette announced that it would be closing in mid- to late October.
SINGAPORE – Gelato shop Tom’s Palette, a homegrown favorite, will cease operations after 21 years. In an Instagram video, the outlet, located in Bugis and Kovan, revealed its closure is set for mid- to late October. A spokeswoman noted, "In April, I questioned whether we were next, and unfortunately, despite our efforts, we are."
She explained that the dessert industry only thrives for three hours daily, rendering the 21 hours of low activity insufficient to sustain the business. The announcement follows recent closures in Singapore's dessert scene, including Pantler's upcoming August 30 shutdown and Tarts by Cheryl Koh's April exit after 11 years. For those eager to preserve Tom’s Palette's legacy, the spokeswoman extended an invitation to connect.
