A joke!! Bad joke!! The sorbets looked like granita they were icy and tasted like iced lemon juice and pineapple juice. Not sorbet at all. Don t do ice scream if you cannot.
Really do not understand how this ice cream can be so popular and have 5 stars. It is too sweet, sort of lacking in flavour and extremely expensive.
"Sorry, we don't take cash" I have visited previously and found sorbets to be delightful, tangy and interesting. Sadly, I visited last week in the afternoon and was (apologetically) informed that this is a "card only" establishment. Gone are the heady days of children being able to use pocket money to buy themselves a treat. Or perhaps the owner is only interested in children (and adults) with credit? Or maybe data mining? Businesses with a "customer list" are more saleable than those without. It is hard to fathom the reasoning here. The most obvious being; the member of staff serving was young:- THEREFORE untrustworthy? (Not my thoughts - I am suggesting these are management's) Not needing to be open in the colder months the owners can save on wages for their teenage staff. There are a number of free Wi-Fi cafes in the vicinity. When was the last time the owner's had a PCI conformance check for the safety / security of their card only customers? Decorated as an inviting "chocolate box" of treats on the outside this "more exclusive than thou (with prices to match) attitude" seems designed only for gold card holders.
Very expensive for what is quite ordinary ice cream. Any premium brand from Marks and Spencer is considerably more subtly flavoured and finely textured than anything I tasted here. They seem to have confused using organic ingredients with being able to create gourmet ice cream. Perhaps they should visit Berthillon in Paris to see how it's done
Very bad experience. Went to buy ice cream yesterday for my whole family including my elderly parents, husband and 2 small kids. It was very windy and their long display board near ice cream van came away hitting me right on my shoulder and More
Only suitable for hipsters that want to instagram their overpriced receipt with their tasteless icecream. Gave it several chances but I always ended dissapointed.
Never again!!! Ben & Jerry's ice cream is cheaper and much better!!!
