About Air Lab

Air Lab delivers tall, jiggly Japanese soufflé pancakes finished with a crisp, blowtorched crème brûlée crust. Operating strictly as a compact takeaway hatch on John Street, the kitchen whips up each batch to order—leaving crowds to gather on outdoor stone benches with fork in hand. Beyond the torched custards, the counter turns out pandan-and-cheese eggettes alongside crispy choux puffs filled with rich black sesame and sweet taro.

  • Torched Crème Brûlée Soufflés: Each stack is prepared to order, puffed airy and light, then capped with torched sugar and custard.
  • Counter-Service Setup: No dining room or indoor seating—just a bustling John Street hatch built for eating straight from the tray.
  • Puffs and Eggettes: Pastry selections extend to crisp choux puffs and eggettes flavored with pandan and cheese.

  • Fluffy, Cloud-Like Pancake Texture

    Light, airy batter creates an intensely pillowy texture that stands out among specialty pancakes.

    Creme brulee souffle pancakes were clouds of deliciousness and my goddd is it rich.

  • Fast Walk-Up Takeaway Counter

    Operating as a focused walk-up counter, desserts are packaged efficiently for street-side snacking.

    There is only a small counter to eat, but more of a grab and go dessert.

  • Specialty Choux and Pastries

    Beyond soufflés, the kitchen turns out specialty crispy baked choux with light fillings.

    Living up to the name Air Lab, the choux pastry itself was airy yet crispy.

  • Crème Brûlée Cream Puff

    I took 2 brulee puffs and it was so yummy. It is creamy but not too sweet, the puff is crispy, and the sugar is just burnt, giving a moderately bittersweet taste.

  • Maple Butter Souffle Pancakes

    The souffle pancakes are so tasty, fluffy and light. It’s always super fresh, made on the spot and they’ve definitely perfected the system. The maple butter is my go to.

  • Eggettes

    The eggettes were interesting too, the cheese and pandan combo works surprisingly well and gives it a really wonderful taste.

Before you head over

Essential advice on timing, seating, and parking for your visit

  • Eat Soufflés Fresh on the Spot

    Plan to eat your crème brûlée soufflé pancakes immediately on the street rather than taking them home, as the crunchy caramelized sugar softens and loses texture if left sitting.

  • Opt for Nearby Street Benches

    Because the small shop has no indoor seating, grab public stone benches along John Street or explore the outdoor pedestrian lane ways while you eat.

  • Use the Multi-Level Car Park

    Main street parking is often restricted to 30 minutes and hard to secure, so aim directly for the large multi-level car park behind the main road.
