I'm going to London next Friday and want to take my girlfriend to a place that does desserts. One of our favorite places is a shop called Creams near me and they do waffles, crepes and ice cream and it's amazing. Is there anything better than this in London?

Thanks

Creams is a pretty big chain. There will be others in London if that is what you fancy buy tbh, there is probably hundreds of nice cafes and tea shops that do better desserts. Depends if you want real desserts or icecream

if you're really obsessed with dessert, Hotel Cafe Royal has a dessert only restaurant.
definitely a bit on the spendy side though.... (not been but a few friends have and think its good but probably not worht the money)

What a very random request :confused:

You could head into Soho and hit up Maison Bertaux, Princi or Hummingbird Bakery.

Otherwise I'd just go out for a good meal somewhere well-rated/Michelin starred and thats where you'd find the best pastry chefs and desserts. Or even go for an afternoon tea at a nice hotel, they're well known for their cakes etc. Fortnum & Mason's afternoon tea is really great.

Me and the wife went to the ice cream parlour in Harrods, very nice plus we got serenaded by the pizza chef as he was that loud singing!!

Covent Garden is filled with Cafe/Tea rooms that serve what you are after. If all else fails, you can pick from one of the hundred that clutter the place up.

If you get bored, you can chuck cake at the opera singer and blame it on the bird.

Thank you everyone for your replies I appreciate it. Yea' it's a weird request, just I normally don't eat carbs and I'm having a cheat day on Friday and epic puddings are the thing I miss the most.

Creams is nice, don't get me wrong and I'll only ever been once - nice food, nice atmosphere, until you were nearing the end of the meal and they were trying to usher you out to make room for the next lot.

For what it is, its quite pricey too - 4 desserts and 4 drinks was almost £50!
