This place is great. Who doesn't like cookies?! When you enter this place the first thing you get…read moreis this intense smell from the ovens of freshly baking disks of yum. Unlike its newer store in town, there is actually room in this one to sit down and enjoy one (or 12) of their vast array of home baked cookies. Their range is enormous, but I would suggest to staying traditional and getting their choc chip cookies. You can't go wrong with these awesome, awesome cookies.

Cookies, Cookies, Cookies!!…read more I love the Cookie Box and even more so that I found this branch on the Lisburn Road as the one in the city centre is so tiny. They sell the most amazing cookies and at only £1.19 each they're quite the bargain. You can buy 5 for £4.95 or ten for £8.95. So So Tempting! They also offer a huge range of milkshakes from the traditional such as strawberry to the wacky such as cookies and milk! And they really are great! Its great to be able to sit in and just gorge! Though I'm sure my waistline gave up on me as soon as it seen this place!

DATE OF VISIT: Sunday 8 May 2016 at lunch time with Caroline S…read more MENU: Small but good with a focus on light breakfasts, lunches and patisserie items. However they really need more Vegetarian and Vegan options and for these to be highlighted on the menu. Nonetheless being Northern Ireland's first licensed patisserie Miel et Moi definitely offer something different from the norm plus a great range of sweet treats and cocktails. FOOD: Absolutely scrumptious and flavoursome. However portion sizes are very small and it's therefore expensive. Our lunches of tomato, red onion and basil salad (£6.75) and goats cheese with carrot jam, herbs and toast (£6.50) were tasty but small for the price we paid, being more starter size than a proper lunch. We noticed a lot of diners around us opting for sandwiches (£4.95) which looked more substantial and economical. Others had quiche which appeared to be a very small slice for £8.50. We shared a mango and raspberry cheesecake which was decadent and probably similarly priced at £4.25 to desserts found in any restaurant. DRINK: Very good with coffees, wine, cocktails, gin and tonics all exceptionally good. COST: Expensive, our bill was £82.42 for 2 people. Coffee and patisserie items are a standard price but lunch dishes and cocktails are overpriced especially given the small portions e.g. a Kir Royal cocktail rings in at £9.95. We actually had very little food but ran up quite a large bill on just a few drinks. SERVICE: Excellent and attentive with all waiting staff extremely helpful and pleasant. We didn't feel rushed out of our table either and ended up sitting on for over three hours. RESTAURANT DECOR/ AMBIENCE: Wonderful especially on a sunny day as the outside seated area is a sun trap during early afternoon. Decor is French influenced with soft muted colours and there is a lovely relaxed yet luxurious vibe to Miel et Moi. IN SUMMARY: Miel et Moi serve delicious food but need more clearly marked Veggy meals on their menu. I found the service, food, atmosphere, drinks and ambience lovely but prices are high so it would definitely be more of a treat spot rather than somewhere I would visit frequently.

I really wanted to love this place! West Belfast in…read moreparticular the falls/A'town road ate crying out for new places to go/eat...so when I heard that a new FroYo place was opening, I was determined to go, loved it, and spend many a day with the kids in it having yummy treats However...I was disappointed Before I write my let downs, I'll say that the staff were lovely, they took time to explain how everything works, hints/tips regarding weights of toppings etc so if I was to go back, it would be on that basis only The froyo instead was ok...just ok...I mean I wouldn't say it was terrible, but hardly amazing There were plenty of flavours, as well as ice cream too, which was lovely But...the toppings were all uncovered, plenty of them mind you, leaving it hard to miss the copious amounts of flies hovering around...hardly attractive let alone hygienic! This should be more thought out...he way it is places is that the tubs are built into the counter top...I assume for easy access...but really the amount of flies was just yuck! The price...well...let's call a spade a spade...it's frickin dear...and it's ice cream ppl...just ice cream! Ever got stung at the cinema by the pick n mix? Same deal...the tubs are done by weight...so for heavens sake be careful with those damn toppings! My daughter got a small tub with minimal toppings and it came to £5, that doesn't sound too bad, but if you are paying for more than one child, and of course them wanting probably everything..,it's gonna pile up pretty quick! All in all...it's a 'meh' from me, daughter loved it, so no doubt I'll be back soon regardless lol!

And here it is...the Barnam's review as promised. I always keep them. Promises that is…read more I think I'll divide this review in two - one for the actual ice-cream itself, and one for this parlour. Just to make things a wee but easier. Here goes... Barnams isn't my favourite ice-cream, but it's definitely good stuff. There is a huge range of flavours - blue bubblegum, orange crunch (orange-coloured of course), neon yellow banana, as well as your more 'normal' flavours of vanilla, chocolate etc. You can get tubs, cones, fancy wafery things, sauces, waffles and much, much more, and the prices aren't too high. Sounds good, eh? Popping into Barnam's World of Ice Cream yesterday was an absolute must, and apparently the whole world and his dog had the same thought. Well, world and his child in this case... We waited patiently behind a multitude of screeching children who were selecting their ice-creams. One little girl was given her ice cream cone wrapped in greaseproof paper, which she didn't appreciate at all. "Muuuuuummmmmmy!", she screamed, "I don't want the paaaaaappppeeerrrr!!". Oh dear, oh dear. By the time all this drama was over, I was well ready for my tub of chocolate and Belgian chocolate. Or so I thought! I ended up not even being able to eat it all. Oh dear, oh dear (again). Just warning you...but the ice-cream ain't bad. At all.

Barnams is the ice cream shop we all had to go to when we were younger, It rocked! And Now? Well I…read morestill like it! Mainly for the awesome selection of flavours they have, the bubblegum is really nice as is the chocolate (shock horror). The only downside is that with Ice cream parlours comes screaming children. The spoilt brats of the Lisburn and Malone road residents are awful. My solution? Call in when they're at school and enjoy the wonder that is Barnams Ice Cream!

Lucky for me this excellent purveyor of delicious ice cream, is not so far from my home to warrant too much effort. However if it is a little bit of a trek for you, I would still say that you it's worth it. Started by the original Fusco in the early part of the 20th century, Fusco ice cream has several flavours with the option of sitting in at one of their 3 small tables or wrapping up and taking your choice of frozen goodness away with you. Honourable mentions for the honeycomb and chocolate flavours which can be enjoyed in several different receptacles of both the edible and non-edible variety (i.e. Plastic tub vs. waffle or two scoop cone). Visiting here is guaranteed to cause a debate while choosing, but once selection has been made, you can look forward to 15 - 20 mins of quiet while your loved ones devour their desert. Which on a rainy Sunday afternoon is well worth the reasonable prices.
