Soufflé pancake café Fluff Stack to close all Singapore outlets after six years
Out goes another light in our F&B scene – the popular Japanese soufflé pancake chain Fluff Stack is closing all five of its outlets in Singapore after a six-year run. The brand took to Instagram on May 14 to announce this, explaining that the tough decision had to be made due to the 'challenging F&B climate in Singapore'. The news came as a shock to many – in the comments section, several lamented that the chain did not give enough heads up for fans to visit one last time to savour their favourite soufflé pancakes. There was also no indication of an official closing date in the post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by fluff stack (@fluffstack) This is not the first business to bow out this year, in what seems to be a big wave of F&B closures across the island. Earlier in the year, global chains like Eggslut and Burger & Lobster pulled out of the scene entirely. Fast food brand A&W also shut its Ang Mo Kio outlet in April, though eight other branches in Singapore remain. Most recently, beloved homegrown bakery Flor Patisserie and 1939 Singapore (previously Potato Head) also announced their closures – the former due to a staggering 57 percent rental hike that made the news, triggering a wave of public support for local businesses facing rental increases. In a time of tighter wallets, starting a new venture in the F&B space seems like a big blunder waiting to happen – but many are still hopeful, and our dining scene doesn't seem to be slowing down the slightest.

Fluff Stack, popular souffle pancake chain, to close all outlets in Singapore due to 'challenging F&B climate', Lifestyle News
After six years of dishing out fluffy, Instagram-worthy pancakes, Fluff Stack is shuttering all their outlets for good. The souffle pancake specialist announced this in an Instagram post on Wednesday (May 14). They did not share the last day for any of their outlets. "The challenging F&B climate in Singapore has made it unsustainable for us to continue," they explained. [embed] "Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your incredible support over the past six years. Your love for our fluffy pancakes and treats has meant everything to us. We cherish the memories created together." When AsiaOne reached out to the dessert chain to enquire, we received a response saying that Fluff Stack Singapore had ceased operations. The dessert chain had just celebrated their fifth anniversary, where they had a slew of promotions from August 2024 to March this year. At their peak, Fluff Stack had five outlets scattered around Singapore at Suntec City, Northpoint City, Pasir Ris Mall, Tampines 1 and Paya Lebar Quarter. Their Tampines 1 outlet shuttered in July 2023 when the mall underwent upgrade and enhancement works. They were also part of a period around 2019 where there was a fluffy pancake trend.
