    two milkshakes with whipped cream and caramel
    Zaakirah K.

    I love coming across female-owned businesses, especially when the place is "instagrammable" and offers a great spot to hangout over dessert. I've been seeing Dessert Lounge often on social media for a while now, so I was very excited to try it. It's easy to find the unit in the plaza as it stands out. The moment you step in, you almost won't feel like you're in Pickering. The interiors are beautiful - pink, florals and very comfy seating (plus the tables are well spaced out so you don't feel too close to other people). The staff are also very friendly and welcome you with a warm welcome and smile. Menu is available online and a QR code is available at every table. There's a lot of variety on the menu and a terrific selection, it almost makes it hard to choose what to get because everything sounds delicious. Here's some of the items we ordered: * Masala Chai Latte ($7.25): what I loved is not only the taste with the hint of cinnamon, but the presentation was super cute. It came with a flower and two heart-shaped palmiers. * Milkshakes - French Cinnamon & Spiked ($9.95): the perfect drink to wake you up or if you're looking for the perfect hint of coffee. The lotus drink tasted exactly like a lotus biscuit so it made for the perfect dessert. * Signature Creations* - Choco Coco Crepe ($18.95) & Holiday Waffle ($19.95): I would've ordered waffles for both if I knew that the waffles would turn out to be my favourite. The batter was great abd the taste was even better. I loved the addition of the coconut shavings. The ice cream that came with the desserts were also of a very generous portion/scoop! I love having the option and the great balance between fruity and chocolatey dessert because I feel like most dessert shops focus more on chocolate desserts and don't offer the same kind of balance/variety. For someone who also doesn't usually like waffles, I wasn't expecting to love the waffles as much as the crepe so this was a sweet surprise. * Carrot Cake ($12.75): I didn't get to try it since I was quite full but when I brought it home, it finished quickly which tells me it was delicious. I chose carrot cake as it looked different to the other cakes I've seen and I loved seeing that it has a lot of almonds And now for my favourite item: the Strawberry Cheesecake Croffle ($13.95). Super soft and so good. It was the ultimate chef's kiss Other items I'd like to try include: the cream rolls, saffron tea and the shiryakh (this is an Afghan own dessert shop, so they do have some authentic Afghani desserts too!) Items were really well presented. I'd prefer less powdered sugar but otherwise it was so nice.

    Heaffles - Gross strawberry syrup covered waffle

    If you're GF Not Worth Jumping Through the Hoops…read more When I found this place online, I was so excited. When one must follow a gluten-free diet, it is so nice to find places where you can eat what everyone else gets to enjoy. This was anything but enjoyable. I was planning a little Halloween getaway to Kingston and searching for a new and exciting breakfast place to stop on my way there. I found Heaffles and read through their website--I'm always very careful and vet my restaurants before the trip and plan food meticulously, you have to when you cannot eat gluten. The site stated that if you want a gluten free waffle, you must call 24 hours ahead of time. I immediately thought that was ridiculous (that eliminates any possibility of a GF person walk-in from eating there) but messaged them on Instagram. I asked if I could message then and schedule or did a I have to call. They told me I must call the day before. Pain in the bum, but I set a reminder in my phone and did so. The next day, I show up. Such a cute place and the breakfast that kicks off a trip always makes me so happy. We don't eat out much at all, living so rurally. It had also been ages since I'd enjoyed a GF waffle, so excitement was high. This place has a ton of potential. The seating is cute, the bathrooms clean and so beautifully decorated. There is even a little cubby with cushions that would make it feel as though one was having breakfast in bed. I really did fall in love with the space. There didn't appear to me to be a traditional server comes to your table. You walk in and place your order at the counter. I ordered a Flat White to drink along with a water and a gluten-free coconut rush. The young lady at the counter was very quick to tell me that they had a customer coming in to get a GF waffle and that they only had enough batter for one waffle and that I would need to try again and call 24 hours beforehand. Right before I told her I was that customer, my brain was like, what? You have enough batter for ONE waffle??? I make GF stuff all the time. It is NOT that expensive. And what if you mess up that ONE waffle (and they did because she didn't listen to me)? I said, "Oh, I called yesterday." And I had driven a very long way. I would hate for anyone else to do that and end up disappointed. After that, I was allowed to order my waffle. Coconut is my favourite sweet flavour, but it came with strawberries and strawberry syrup. I told her THREE times I didn't want the strawberries or the syrup. Strawberry jam, jelly syrup...I hate them all, also cannot stand cooked fruit. She told me she could put the strawberries on the side and that they were uncooked. I said that was okay, but reiterated AGAIN that I do not want or like the strawberry syrup. I thought I might get my drinks at the counter, but she said they would bring everything to my table. I sat within view of the counter by the window. I assumed, as at most places, the drinks would come out first. I had started on the Terra Health heartburn kit to kick my PPI script and needed to take the supplements before eating. Some ladies came in after me and they got their drink order while I sat and waited. The waffle came out, and I was too panicked by not taking my supplements to pay that much attention and told them I needed some water and that I didn't have my coffee yet. They came back in a few minutes and in the meantime, I saw that the waffle I'd paid nearly $30 for, along with a very tiny flat white coffee, was drenched...every inch in yucky strawberry syrup. I'm a silver lining kind of girl, so I told myself to try it, maybe my tastes have changed. Nope. It was this strong, chemically strawberry flavour that made me gag. Talk about disappointed. At this point it was late in the morning and I was starving. I opened up the waffle (the size, even if they'd managed to listen to my order was not worth what I paid) and ate some of the filling out. The only waffle that had no nasty syrup was at the fold and I ate the four bites I could. The coffee was literally 3 swallows. I left hungry and angry. And in all that time, no one ever came back to ask me how the order was...and I knew I couldn't send it back because that was their ONE GF waffle batter of the day. I had to stop at Wendy's and spend another $10 for a bunless burger after. I would never go back. The ask and not having the batter available is beyond RIDICULOUS, despite the fact they don't listen, which makes a GF person VERY nervous. You couldn't pay me to eat there again. Poor service, poor value and food I couldn't stomach. Not for me.

Wish I knew more about beans, but just from the way they explained calibration and how ambient weather affects the espresso, I felt like I was in good hands. I even several times skipped morning coffee at home to have my first cup here. They try to reflect your energy too, so if you seem like you just want caffeine, they are efficient, but if you initiate conversation, they return the favor. The coffee art is on point, and I even learned about which apparatus and method are easier for amateurs. They never hurried me, which I really appreciate. Great space for reading a book, meeting up with friends, or work session.

    Fuwa Fuwa has done it again! Their food is really good, so whenever they introduce new dishes, I…read morehave to try them! This time, it was their new Japanese Fried Chicken Karaage, available in several flavours: Classic, Teriyaki, Sweet Heat, Maple Jalapeño, and Hot Yuzu. They were all delicious and are available as small plates or meal-sized. It was hard to pick a favourite. We also tried their Egg Sando, and Miso Udon Carbonara. As good as everything was, the udon dish turned out to be my favourite. Those flavours really appealed to me. Maybe it was the generous amount of crispy bacon in it! No visit to Fuwa Fuwa would be complete without having some of their delicious beverages. We had the Butterfly Pea Latte, Strawberry Matcha Latte, and Dragon Fruit Refresher. Everything tasted great!

    Tip: This cafe has ube baked goods and Japanese meals…read more A few Saturdays ago, I was at Chuck's Roadhouse for lunch. Afterwards, I drove around the plaza to figure out what businesses were there. I was happy to see Fuwa Fuwa Dessert Cafe. I had flagged coming here. Well, it took a gathering of three friends with me to visit this cafe last Thursday. I had only visited the Fuwa Fuwa location in Vaughan. This one in Pickering is special for a bunch of reasons. There was lots of parking at 6 pm on a Thursday evening that was threatening freezing rain. Luckily, we only got rain. Yay! I backed into a tight parking spot. The tight part was due to a snowbank that was in front of the row of parking. I threw out some garbage from my car into a receptacle near this business. I saw one of my friends in the cafe already. Another one said hi to me when I grabbed the door. Our third friend came in a few minutes later. We are a punctual group. It was nice. I looked at the desserts display that I was sitting next to. First, it's deadly to be that close to baked goods. Second, there was a lot of ube. This cafe has Filipino and Japanese influences in its menu offerings. It's cool to me! I had meant to get something with ube in it. I need to go back! We were here for dinner. Normally, you think of fluffy, giggly pancakes when you're at Fuwa Fuwa. This restaurant had a Japanese eats menu. We got the following Japanese combos: - Combo A for two people: - Teriyaki pork katsu rice - Chicken karaage curry - Two miso soups - Two cans of pop - Combo B for two people: - Udon noodle soup - Teriyaki chicken karaage - Two iced matcha lattes We shared the mains and soups family-style, so we could sample everything. Our mains and miso soups came out first. The drinks came out last. The teriyaki pork katsu on rice was yummy. The katsu was crispy on the outside and perfect inside. The rice was fluffy and had some green onions and furikake (dried seaweed flakes). One friend wanted more furikake on it. The rest of us were fine with what we got. I've been into Japanese curry for the longest time. This place made it well. The chicken karaage was crispy, as the curry was separate on the plate and so flavourful. We got rice. It had this sesame shredded cabbage as a side. It was yummy, but we all suggested that it needed red cabbage to add a colourful pop to the dish. We gave the most feedback on the miso soup. It was salty. I ended up taking water that I had filled a cup up at the station in the back and diluted my soup. It was less salty. The problem was that my water was cold and it made my soup cooler. The owner on the store apologized. We did a taste test between a batch of miso soup from yesterday that he had brought to our table versus the saltier one today. I tasted both. Yesterday's didn't have a strong miso flavour. Today's was too salty. I ended mixing the two. The miso flavour was perfect, but it was on the salty side. We got two cans of Coke zero. I can do Coke zero. One of my friends can't. We ended up trading one of the cans for regular Coke, which he likes. My can was cold. It didn't cause a sugar spike. All good. I also had one of the iced matcha lattes. I was thirsty from my miso soup. I loved it. It was cold. The matcha flavour was excellent. It was creamy from the milk in it. Three of us had the udon noodle soup. One of our friends can't have beef. The beef was thinly sliced and yummy. We all loved the chewiness of the udon. The broth wasn't overly salty. I liked it. The jammy egg was perfect. The green onions enhanced this dish. We got teriyaki chicken karaage. I love that it had kewpie mayo drizzled on top. The chicken was moist inside and crunchy on the outside. This dish came with rice and a runny fried egg. Delicious! We ordered a couple of jiggly pancakes: - Berry - Matcha It was my first time having the berry. It was excellent. I loved the berry compote poured all over the pancakes, which absorbed everything like a sponge. The pancakes were fluffy, jiggly, and delicious. I've had the matcha pancakes before. I loved the matcha sauce and the strawberry slices. It was nice having them again. I used the washroom before we called in a night. There are two single stalls. The one that I used was decent. I loved visited this cafe. It was nice spending time with friends over dinner and jiggly pancakes. I will return for the ube goodies! (115)

There are a few…read moreseats inside, but it really feels more like a takeout spot than somewhere you'd sit and hang out. I ordered takeout and the packaging was actually pretty good -- the waffle came in a large box and the ice cream was packed separately, which I appreciated. That said, the desserts themselves were a letdown. The ice cream tasted off, with a strong artificial sweetener/flavor that didn't taste very natural. The pistachio cream had a similar issue -- you could tell it was meant to be pistachio, but the nutty flavor was overwhelmed by an artificial aftertaste. Service was fine but nothing special. The person at the counter was polite but passed my questions to someone else. On the plus side, my order was ready quickly -- about 5 minutes. Overall, fast service and decent packaging, but the flavors just didn't hit. Probably wouldn't go back unless the ice cream quality improves.

I was greeted and welcomed by the staff. I ordered D Kid in Me Milkshake. It is made with birthday cake ice cream and has cotton candy on top. The shop wasn't too busy as it was late, but there were still a few customers eating at the tables. When waiting for my milkshake, the staff continued to ask if I was okay and if I wanted to sample any of the ice cream flavours, even though I had already ordered and paid for my milkshake. I appreciated the effort and felt that the service here is a lot better than the other D Spots I have been to. My milkshake was also perfect. Really thick so you know they didn't skimp out on the ice cream and add too much milk instead. It was sweet and creamy and delicious. I will definitely be returning to this location!

Known for their excellent arancini rice balls, they serve arborio rice balls that are stuffed with ground veal in tomato sauce, sweet peas and mozzarella cheese. They have quite a menu that focuses on pasta and hot sandwiches. I love all types of pasta from white Alfredo sauce pasta, to rosé tomato-cream sauce pasta, or Bolognese sauce pasta, or tomato-basil pasta. They also have coffee, cannoli and gelato. On any given day customers drop by for their chicken parm, eggplant parm, ceasar salad, Calabrese, veggie, ham and cheese grilled panini, meatball or chicken or veal sandwiches. Be sure to add hot or sweet peppers, provolone or mozzarella cheese, onions, eggplant and mushrooms to give your sandwich extra flavours. I added green peppers to my veal sandwich and a very important point to add much needed extra sauce! The second veal sandwich I ordered was very dry, almost tasteless and had practically no tomato sauce on it. Wasn't sure if it always comes this dry? I hope not but am glad I asked for extra sauce on the second sandwich. Much needed! Their gelato is worth tasting if you have a sweet tooth.

    Funnel cake in Pickering, YES PLEASE!…read more I love funnel cake, whether it was getting it from Canada's Wonderland as a kid or by getting it at the CNE, it is a treat that you absolutely need to get in the summertime. When I was taking a stroll through the Pickering flea market with my girlfriend we stumbled upon this place that said they have funnel cake. Being the dessert lover that I am I could not say no. This place advertised funnel cakes along side a whole bunch of other deliciously looking treats. They sell candy bags as well as fudge. But probably the most advertised one is the funnel cake itself. It comes in two sizes small and a large with the latter covering the whole plate. You can get either size with ice cream and strawberry sauce along with icing sugar - typical funnel cake. In terms of flavor, the funnel cake is a little bit more crispier than that you would get at a summer fair or Canada's Wonderland. I prefer to have my funnel cakes a little bit softer but this did not kill it for me or anything like that. The ice cream is not soft serve, it is from a tub that you would get at a grocery store. Again not the worst thing in the world. Overall it is a decent funnel cake, and one that you should give it a try. I personally don't think that it's something that I would go out of the way for but if you are shopping at the Pickering flea markets then you should give it a try after you are done shopping.
