GreenGrass Garden may sound like a salad stop or a wellness café, but its true identity lies in sweet treats and refreshing beverages. Tucked inside Alexandra Village Food Centre at stall #01-73, it serves up some of Singapore’s most comforting dessert staples—without crossing into savory territory.
Visitors expecting rice or noodles won’t find them here. This stall is all about what comes after the meal: chilled grass jelly, silky beancurd, creamy milk teas, and icy coffee blends. Its strength lies in its focused menu, done well, and always evolving to match local tastes.
Signature Desserts: Grass Jelly and Beancurd
Grass Jelly
This is the undisputed star. Served chilled, it offers relief from Singapore’s heat in the most satisfying way. The jelly is soft, slightly bitter, and typically paired with sweet syrup or longan, striking a well-balanced flavor profile that generations have grown up with.
Beancurd (Tau Huay)
For something smoother, the beancurd hits the mark. Silky and light, it’s a protein-rich option that’s just as comforting warm as it is cold. Unlike some stalls that over-sweeten their versions, GreenGrass Garden keeps things balanced and clean.
Both desserts appeal to a broad crowd—from older patrons who grew up with these staples to younger customers rediscovering their appeal.
Drinks That Keep the Queue Moving
The stall doesn’t just stick to tradition. It adapts. Its drink menu blends old favorites with crowd-pleasing trends, bringing in customers who might not usually stop for dessert.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- Milk Tea – Classic, creamy, and customizable.
- Ice-Blended Coffee – Cold, sweet, and energizing.
- Oreo Soyamilk – A crunchy-meets-creamy combo.
- Oreo Milk Tea – A dessert-drink hybrid with texture.
- Taro Milk Tea – Smooth and naturally sweet.
- Chendol Drinks – A drinkable twist on the Southeast Asian dessert.
The variety caters to cravings that range from rich and creamy to sweet and icy. Add-ons are available across most drinks, so customers can customize textures and flavors to their liking.
Herbal Teas for Balance
While the milk-based options get much of the spotlight, GreenGrass Garden also serves homemade herbal teas. These traditional brews offer a cooling, bitter contrast to the sugar-forward desserts. Popular among those looking for something lighter or more restorative, they reflect the stall’s understanding of what regulars want beyond indulgence.
Atmosphere and Service
Operating in the lively environment of Alexandra Village Food Centre, GreenGrass Garden still manages to create a calm, approachable vibe. Its stall is known for friendly service, quick preparation, and consistent quality. Regulars praise the staff for being welcoming and efficient—even during busier hours.
Much of the business is takeaway-based, particularly for drinks and grass jelly. The stall keeps things moving fast without sacrificing attention to detail.
Pricing
Like most hawker stalls, GreenGrass Garden offers affordable pricing, generally falling between S$5 and S$10 per person. A basic dessert or drink lands closer to the lower end of that range, while specialty milk teas or drinks with multiple toppings nudge it higher.
This makes it a solid option for anyone craving a quality treat without paying café prices.
Operating Hours
GreenGrass Garden is open daily from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. This consistent schedule supports both lunchtime indulgences and after-dinner treats. Whether you’re stopping by mid-afternoon for an ice-blended coffee or grabbing a cold herbal tea to-go in the evening, the stall runs a full-day operation that matches the flow of the food centre.
What to Try on Your First Visit
For those stepping up to the counter for the first time, these five items offer a balanced intro:
- Grass Jelly with Longan – A signature choice that defines the stall.

Final Thought
GreenGrass Garden succeeds by keeping its offerings narrow but versatile. With a mix of nostalgic desserts, trending beverages, and traditional teas, the stall doesn’t stretch beyond its core strengths. It’s a place for comfort in a cup or bowl—and one that rewards repeat visits with consistency, friendliness, and flavor.
