Birds of Paradise Cheapest Items
The birds of paradise cheapest items come down to one order: a single scoop in a cup, reported at around S$5 in visitor posts and around S$4.70 in older guides. There isn’t a budget flavour list here, since every flavour costs the same by format, so the cheapest scoop can be any flavour you like, including the signature White Chrysanthemum. This guide sticks to reported prices only, since the shop doesn’t publish one fixed price list, and the full Birds of Paradise menu explains the formats those prices cover.
What are the Birds of Paradise cheapest items?
A single scoop in a cup is the cheapest order on the menu, and it is also the smartest first order, since you get the full flavour without paying for a second scoop or a cone. Visitor posts quote S$5 for a single cup and S$6 for a single cone, while older guides quote S$4.70 for a single scoop and S$7.70 for a double, and a recent guide puts a single scoop at around S$6.50. That spread is why every figure here carries a reported flag, and why you should check the board at the outlet. Flavours don’t change the price, so a single cup of White Chrysanthemum costs the same as a single cup of any other flavour on the board that day, which is good news when the signature is the one you want most.
| Order | Reported price | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|---|
| Single scoop in a cup | S$5 (S$4.70 older) | Lowest reported single order, any flavour |
| Single scoop in a cone | S$6 | Visitor posts, cone adds cost over a cup |
| Single scoop, recent guides | Around S$6.50 | Recent guide figure, the high end of the reported spread |
| Double scoop (older guides) | S$7.70 | Cheaper per scoop, but a higher bill than a single |
| Double cone (review) | S$9 | Burpple review figure, the priciest single order here |
| Takeaway pint (older guides) | S$16 | Most upfront cost, only for several servings at home |
Is a cup cheaper than a cone at Birds of Paradise?
Yes, on the reported figures, a cup beats a cone by about a dollar for a single scoop. Visitor posts quote S$5 for a cup and S$6 for a cone, and the thyme cone is the part you pay extra for, since it is made fresh in store and folded with thyme. That cone is worth it when you love crunch, and regulars swear by it, but it isn’t the budget pick. If you want the cone taste without the cone price, ask about cone chips on a cup, and check whether they add a charge, since guides say the charge varies by outlet. A cup also melts slower in your hand on a hot day, which is a small bonus when you are eating outdoors in Singapore heat.
How do you keep the bill down at Birds of Paradise?
Stick to a single cup, taste before you commit, and share a double only when two of you are eating. A taste first means you won’t pay for a scoop you don’t enjoy, and a shared double splits the cost while letting both of you try two flavours. Skip the pint on a first visit, since older guides report it at around S$16, and that upfront cost only pays off when you want gelato at home over several days. Skip extra toppings unless you ask the price, since a small reported charge can creep onto the bill, and check the board before you queue, since a sold out flavour can push you toward a double you didn’t plan on. One scoop, one cup, one flavour you love, that’s the whole budget trick here.
Cheapest order, word for word: One single scoop in a cup, any flavour on the board. On reported prices that is around S$5, or around S$4.70 on older guides, and it is the only order in this guide that sits at the bottom of the price spread.
