But no, while patrons of Heavenly Desserts may be dressed to the nines, this dessert bar necessitates elastic trousers more than a "go out shirt". Heavenly Desserts was one of the originators of the type of dessert bar that has popped up all over Birmingham in recent years. Starting out in a smaller shop front, they now take up a very large location in Sparkbrook that can seat many. Despite this, the place is packed with queues on the weekend. The wait is managed very professionally by an army of staff members. Once you make it to your seat, a literal bible of sweet goodies awaits. The shop is most known for their outrageous waffles and cookie dough, but it's entirely possible to pop in for some gelato and a coffee. This is exactly what I did while visiting with friends recently, as the cookie dough was tempting but I wanted something smaller. The gelato can be purchased on its own, but it's also a key ingredient in their other dessert dishes. I was hoping for the best based on reviews, but my cookies and creme/chocolate combo was average at best. Given the amount of competition in Brum, the gelato was not up to par with a generic flavour present. The Americano I ordered as my drink was substantial in size, but lacked finesse in its pull, with a bitter, acidic quality. The overall service here is spot on, with our waiter checking on us throughout our visit. Paying was a hassle though, as we had to walk to the back end of the shop and pay at a card kiosk. Speaking of, the prices here are at the upper limit of what you can realistically charge, especially since it's not in city centre. Heavenly Desserts is a nice dessert shop for the most part, but if you are looking for high quality ingredients or a low-mid price point, south Brum has many more options for you.

I had an scream sundae (Berry Bliss) and my friends had the chocolate brownie dessert. The girl who served us wasn't interested if we were there or not. which put a damper on things when she demanded to have the menu back from me even though i was still looking at what drink to order. Staff need to be trained to be more polite and friendly. She was more interested in chatting to her work colleague than serving us. Apart from that this place has very tasty deserts at affordable prices! The fruity flavoured ones are my favourite! I have started visiting this place regularly now and will keep visiting them! Good luck and i hope don't bump into that horrid girl again!

Can't wait to go back and try something else.

It was brilliant as I got to choose my ice cream that I could have with it, unlike other dessert places! I also tried the strawberries and cream waffles. These have to be , hands down , the best waffles I've ever had. They were fluffy and soft, not chewy at all! And the mango ice cream I chose with it was a perfect accompaniment! Definitely will come again!

I've ordered two waffles and one "gelato" as they call it, and have been very impressed with what's been delivered. So, why four stars not five? Well, the music in this place is some commercial-ridden radio that plays shouty hip-hop, and I just can't help but want to take my waffle outside and finish it in peace. I just want a nice calm backing track, not someone rapping about how many people they've slept with (not exaggerating here). However, back to the produce, it is all top notch so don't let my poor taste in music discourage you!

Brand new addition to west Bromwich, this dessert shop is the second shop thats the little dessert…read moreshop has opened. (Original shop in Wolverhampton). Everything inside represents luxury from the decoration the furniture. It's very plush. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. The staff here are friendly but also seem to give the cold shoulder at times. They have separate male and female toilets, with a disabled toilet and baby changer room. The interior has been done to a high standard with different types of seating for different groups of people. If you don't fancy something straight off the menu you can go up to the main cake stands or ice cream counter. That way you can see what you're going to have and make a decision that way. All deserts come with a choice of cream, ice cream or warm custard. Some deserts even come with melted chocolate, jam or double cream. A lot of choice of what to hace on the menus, from waffles, crepes, sundaes, cake etc. I was a little disappointed by the portion sizes and my experience was short lived. Tap water is free and needed with consuming so much sugar but milkshakes and other drinks are on offer too. Sadly they don't have a car park so you'd need to walk there or park on road outside after 6pm. It has a very good location being in the centre of West Brom town.

My friend tried the savoury chicken crepe which he said was a little tasteless and i would have liked it a little more crisp, there was also a pathetic rotten looking iceberg lettuce on the side which looked rather unpleasant and i didn't eat. But the contents of the crepe was nice. The shop is very very big, maybe even too big. There is a small kids play area which is good to stop small children running around the shop for fun! But it can be full of kids and mums which is annoying if you want some peace and quiet. It was fairly clean, but not to my standard of clean. We were given a knife, fork and spoon held together with damp napkins, which looked cheap and nasty. I had also ordered a beetroot smoothie and was repeatedly asked if i wanted it made with frozen yogurt or soft serve. I wasn't sure what soft serve was so i asked the waiter to explain himself and he just kept saying its soft serve. i had no idea what it was. Then my friend pointed out its like a Mr Whippy van style ice -cream. Why couldn't he just say that? So i chose frozen yogurt. The smoothie was nice but i would prefer to have it with our any frozen yogurt or soft serve. There is a lot of choice with savoury options, a small selection of cakes, lots of different toppings for the pancakes, crepes and waffles. Price wise i think its very expensive. We had 1 Crepe, a small black coffee and smoothie for £14.00. Even for Harborne that is slightly too high, especially when this is aimed more at parents with children. I would return if I got a craving but I wouldn't rush back. Overall what I had was nothing special.

However, I do have a dark secret and that is my ice cream addiction. I can't put a finger on when it started, but just the sight of ice cream makes me turn into a hyper child pulling on my dad's sleeve to persuade him to buy me a Feast or a Mr Whippy. As soon as I saw the first photos of Paradice being added to Yelp, that was it - I HAD to go. A trip to Harborne for work was planned and I knew a trip to the Gelateria had to be a part of the day. After doing some work in Boston Tea Party in the morning, an ice cream was just what the Doctor ordered after my massive lunch as an afternoon pick-me-up. The venue is just up from the Junction and has entrances on both sides (both Vivian and High Street) and is bright, airy and large. One side has a small children's soft play area (to keep the kids busy) and the other has a selection of booths and chairs for visiting groups. After a long look at the selection (which is rather generous to say the least), I opted to go for the (now) legendary "Hello Kitty" mixed with cola millions flavour in a medium tub (£3.40). The gelato is lovely. Light, fluffy and packed full of flavour - it dances on the palate (even when it's long gone). I didn't feel aggrieved at the price for two scoops at all (and if I had, had more of an appetite might have opted for 3). The staff were friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. I was offered tasters of different flavours to try before I chose and you could sense that they love their jobs (which is important, especially in the service industry). I will definitely be back to try more of their selection. I believe their Ferrero Rocher flavour is already calling me...
