  • "I was made to wait a while and I was clearly being ignored by the staff."
  • "The attitude was terrible, we were forgotten at the table and when we went to ask where our food was there was no apology for forgetting a whole tables order."

Quality of Food

Pros:

  • "Had the most amazing dark chocolate hot chocolate."
  • "Huuuge selection of dairy free sorbets too."

  • "Food and the staff are both good food was actually rather lovely and the ice-cream plentiful."
  • "Their waffles are great, we always get the Eton mess one."
  • "Great place to satisfy your sweet tooth, loads of different varieties from ice cream, crepes, waffles, and much, much more."
  • "The desserts were divine, very well presented and the service was surprisingly quick considering how busy it was."

Cons:

  • "The only downside is I've not spotted any dairy free ice cream as yet."
  • "The gelato has changed and is nowhere near as good as it used to be."
  • "Cookie dough was under cooked, no crispiness, paste like heap... Extortionate prices with small scoops of ice creams."
  • "Received our sundaes in a take away slushy cup, with barely anything on or in it, but still charged the same price."
  • "The ice cream was ok not much to write about really but the waffle was nice."
  • "Whip cream quality was bad and tasteless."
  • "Ice cream had very little taste (maltesers, ferrero rocher and saltede caramel all tasted very similar)."

Atmosphere & Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "Really nice place with plenty of seating and amazing options on gelatos."
  • "The atmosphere is very nice and there's an open, modern feel to the place."
  • "Tue interior was very bright and clean, the staff were friendly and the desserts were a lot better than a lot of other dessert places in the area."
  • "Reassuringly well organised for covid-era ice cream, with good wayfinding and distancing."
  • "Went with old work colleague for an afternoon treat, lovely clean place staff so obliging, explained everything on the menu as though we were special."
  • "The place itself is very clean! (Which, when you think of it, must be a hard task with all those messy kids getting ice cream and sauces everywhere!"
  • "The restaurant itself has lovely decor and has always been clean when I've visited."

Cons:

  • "However the music was far too loud the staff could barely hear me and won't turn it down there was a lot of distractions and the place felt sticky in the air."
  • "The place can get really busy on the weekends so you might find the tables are bit sticky if you find a table before the staff get to clean it."
  • "There is a great choice of ice cream flavours but it is let down by the untidy, clattered area behind the counter which makes you doubt regarding hygiene."
  • "Sadly this place has seriously done way down hill since we last visited. We had to move twice to find a table clean enough and rather than move again we cleaned the table and chairs ourselves."
  • "First and foremost, when they told us to dine in, the tables were not cleaned."
  • "The bench we sat on in our booth was falling apart."
  • "Plenty of staff behind the counter but no one serving the other customers."
