Heartbreak Melts to Close After 3 Years

In a bittersweet announcement, Heartbreak Melts, the beloved vegan ice cream cafe located in Ang Mo Kio, has revealed it will be closing its doors for good on December 31st, after three years of delighting customers with its plant-based treats.

"We’re heartbroken to say goodbye, but it's time to turn the page. Some things are meant to be temporary, and while we may be closing, our memories together will remain eternal,” the cafe's team shared via an emotional Instagram post on November 8th.

Reflections on Change

The owners, while saddened by the closure, emphasized the importance of change in life. They reflected on their journey, indicating that every ending is a new beginning. “If everything stayed the same, nothing would be exciting," they noted, thanking their loyal patrons for their support and encouragement over the years. "We will all reach our destinations, but let’s not forget to cherish the moments along the way."

Customer Reactions

As news of the closure spread, heartfelt messages poured in across their social media channels. Customers reminisced about their experiences, with some sharing personal anecdotes that made their time at the cafe truly special. One user expressed her gratitude, recalling deep conversations had over ice cream that brought her both laughter and tears. “Wishing you all the best in your future adventures—here’s to healing and new beginnings!” she commented.

Memorable Moments

Heartbreak Melts has captured attention throughout its existence, making headlines not only for its delectable offerings but also for its unique experiences. In November 2022, a video of a disgruntled customer demanding to speak to the manager sparked intrigue, only for it to be revealed as a comedic prank by popular TikTok user Tan Yen Jue. Co-owner Goh Yong Wei also made waves earlier this year with a candid TikTok post highlighting the struggles of the food and beverage industry in Singapore, sharing sobering statistics about the high failure rate of food businesses, which sparked discussions online.

While the owners have not disclosed specific reasons for their closure or hinted at a potential comeback, the legacy of Heartbreak Melts will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of its customers. As we bid farewell to this iconic establishment, there remains hope that one day, we might see it rise again, whisking us away with nostalgic flavors and joy.
