Me and my family have been here a couple of times, and have always loved their food, though last time the staff were a bit slow at getting everything out together ...... that can be forgiven with the theme of the place. The whole Steampunk/industrial look to the place is epic, I could spend hours photographing ever. Inch of the place. I do hope one day I have a wedding party who want to have their reception here, one day

My first visit at Creams together with my wife and it was a really great one, especially for someone with a sweet tooth like myself. The first thing that we noticed was the beautiful decor and the way the tables were designed, which allowed us to have our own space but yet still feel the vibe. When ordering the food, I have to admit that we did find it hard to make a decision since there were too many great options to choose from. If it were up to us, we would’ve loved to try everything! In the end, we were content with what we ended up ordering. Overall, good portion size and value for money! Staff was also friendly.

This is the second time that have visited this ‘palace of pudding delight’. To be honest I though that my first visit was just a fluke and that things couldn’t really taste that good all of the time. I was wrong and very pleasantly surprised. The waffle I had (Strawberry fields) was just as tasty as they last choice that I had here, although if you pressed me I could name. The menu and additional choice are extensive and you easily spend a whole day in here sampling all of the delightful food available to you (especially if you enjoy sweet food) The staff are professional, friendly and very quick. They also extremely helpful and understanding. I have a service dog which I am still getting used to and when the staff understood what my dog was they were very accommodating, which I have to say is very refreshing. All in all, the revisit was well worth it and I shall be wending my way back here in the not too distant future - just to make sure that I haven’t steered anyone wrong with my recommendation (no self indulgence on my part of course!!)

Great good, and an astonishing place!!! Though it seems to have in training staff (which is good, but then again compared to any other restaurants, there's to be desired)

Incredible dining atmosphere. The interior design of this shop is great and creative. I would highly recommend students doing design courses such as ID or architecture to visit. As for the food that I have ordered (as the picture posted), it is great especially the cream. The only negative comment I would say is that the vanilla ice cream served is too sweet.

Had waffles there with a friend and they tasted amazing! I had the banana and strawberry covered waffle with biscoff syrup, milk chocolate syrup and toffee syrup. Also topped the waffle off with some ice cream, 10/10 combination! Service was pretty quick, and very polite. Would definitely recommend.
