A trendy ice cream parlor from Los Angeles, Little Damage makes its first overseas trip to Singapore, landing at Wheelock Place. The cult favorite brand may only be two years old, with just one outlet in downtown LA, but a second outpost here is already in the pipeline for the end of the year.

Famed for its soft serves, charcoal cones, and vegan varieties, the monochromatic shop shuns the pretty pastels and bright patterns of other ice cream stores with its goth-inspired creations. Like the hand-rolled activated charcoal waffle cones that it offers with a rotating line-up of four soft serve choices.

This month, you can get the IG-friendly blue-hued Unicorn Tears ($7), white chocolate ($7), or go dark with coffee caramel ($7). The menu also has a vegan mainstay that switches up flavors with the rest; for now, it’s chocolate and peanut butter banana ($7.50). And in the coming months, expect everything from churros to strawberries and cream to make an appearance at the store.

Each small batch is churned fresh daily, with dairy-free pints made of soy or nut milk substitutes. You can dust your cup (or cone, for an extra $2) with the likes of chocolate pearls, Oreo bits, and rainbow sprinkles, but take note that only the first topping is free; subsequent ones are $1 each.

In line with the skull motifs and edgy knick knacks on the shelves, Little Damage’s merch is just as inky, with a series of charcoal totes ($12), tumblers ($25), and button pins ($6) for sale.

The basement space may be tiny, but it’s not about to be overlooked, especially with cheeky neon signs telling you things like “I licked it, so it’s mine!” Oh, and if you’re in the vicinity during National Day week and you’d like to show your patriotism without donning an alarmingly bright red outfit, the shop is offering $2 red waffle cones with white chocolate soft serve from Aug 5 to 11.
