Service and Staff Attitude

  • "The Best Chocolate Store in Greenwich, South London, London, England, UK, Europe (till we are in it...) and the World!"
  • "Really lovely people running the place very welcoming."

Cons:

  • "Service was bad, the waiter kept pushing us to order even though we were trying to make up our mind what to get."
  • "There was a big queue, around 15 min to have an ice cream served that was horrible."
  • "Unfortunately, one of the shop staff members came across as incredibly rude and unhelpful, which completely soured my visit."
  • "The service was abysmal - not only was the server with beard and glasses rude but also argued with me when I asked questions about the different flavours."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "I tried chocolate cherry taste and peach raspberry and both of them were equally excellent! My wholehearted recommendations!"
  • "Cracking ice cream shop in centre of Greenwich near to the famous indoor Market."
  • "Just happened to be in the area for a short while whilst on a day out and was enticed by the gelato display in the window, and good job I was too!"
  • "Absolutely fantastic spot, I'd been meaning to go to Dark Sugars since I saw a review of their hot chocolate on YouTube back in 2018."

Cons:

  • "I'm not sure if things have changed here or how it's so highly rated but I got to say this was a missive disappointment... it's actually really expensive for what you get."
  • "Though the portion was a bit smaller and price a bit steep for my fancy."
  • "Quality is not reflective of the high prices. (£3.95 for a single scoop that doesn’t even fill the cup.)"
  • "Extremely overpriced chocolates!!! I filled up the SMALLEST bag of mixed chocolates expecting a maximum of £15 - £20 ended up paying £32.50 lol."
  • "Mediocre ice-cream but expensive."

Ambiance and Shop Presentation

Pros:

  • "Such a posh looking icecream shop at the heart of the Greenwich town centre."
  • "This is possibly the best ice cream I have had in years. The shop has so much variety."
  • "Dark Sugars is a delightful chocolatier offering a wide variety of decadent chocolate treats."
  • "Welcome to the chocolate paradise!"
  • "Very clean and organized place."

Cons:

  • "It was a nightmare to understand the flavours, as most of them don’t have the description and you need to keep asking the flavours."
  • "Nice looking shop and lots of people queueing. I was suspicious when I saw glitter on the pistachio ice cream."
  • "Waffles tasted stale, they don't allow to mix flavours like most gelato places."
  • "The layout of the shop is always frustrating - no queuing system whatsoever and never know where to queue!"
  • "Display was full of flavours of actual ice cream but when I came inside the shop I was informed that these flavours are display only and I could choose only from 10 flavours."
