Co-Founders, After Hours Gelato

Elvis Ong, Soh Guan Quan & Ivy Lee

When the rest of the city sleeps, After Hours comes alive. Founded by Elvis Ong, Soh Guan Quan, and Ivy Lee, After Hours Gelato is a late-night dessert café built for night owls craving something more. Open daily till 2AM at ORTO and Bishan, the café has become a go-to for cozy catch-ups, spontaneous hangouts, and their signature Churros Mochi Waffles.

The founders took a leap of faith by going all in and investing their life savings into a brand that was still just a dream. That risk, and the decision to commit fully as partners, laid the foundation for everything After Hours has become today.

At the heart of it all is their team. The staff aren’t just servers, they’re creative collaborators, ideators, and the soul of the brand. Their energy and feedback fuel many of the café’s most exciting moments.

For this trio, After Hours isn’t just a café, it is where warm waffles, cold gelato, and real conversations melt together. It’s proof that with the right people, bold decisions, and a scoop of courage, sweet dreams can be made real one late night at a time.
