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.

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.
