Picture this: It’s 8pm; you’ve just finished eating a home cooked dinner, and now you’re craving something sweet and creamy to finish off your meal, but tragically don’t have anything in the cupboard. You have two options here: First you stay resigned to the fact that your sugar craving will have to fester until the morning. Or you head down to your local Creams and let them sort out all your sugary needs.
Open 'till late, Creams is the place to go if you are looking for a dairy filled sugary and carby treat. From waffles to crepes and everything in between, Creams can take care of any dessert craving you might be having.
So next time you fancy some late night dessert, or just want to indulge in its signature soft vanilla ice cream, head to the black and purple décor of Creams and tuck in.
Creams Sundaes
Bigger than most people’s head and topped with generous amounts of sauce, whipped cream and Creams' signature wafer, finishing one of these babies is no easy feat but they're worth ordering just to try one, and with so many variations on the classic sundae there is something for every taste. Below are a few of our favourites to get you started.
Mango Mania
What's included: With a base of mango sorbet, coconut ice cream and Creams' signature soft serve ice-cream, this sundae is topped with mango pieces, sauce and coconut flakes. Perfect if you like fruity and refreshing sundaes.
Oreo Overloaded
What's included: Now more chocolaty and Oreo filled than the original Oreo Overload (which isn't a complaint), this sundae come with two scoops of Oreo gelato and vanilla ice cream. Toppings include crushed Oreos and a generous lashing of milk chocolate sauce.
Bubblelicious
What's included: If leaving Creams with a blue tongue doesn’t bother you, the Bubblelicious blue and pink bubblegum gelato is drilled with bubblegum and strawberry sauce and topped with hundreds and thousands and popping candy to add a fun fizz.
Creams Waffles
Working as the perfect base for a number of exciting topping, this carby, fluffy treat has a little more texture than a pancake or crepe while still giving any topping the chance to shine on the somewhat neutral base. We've rounded up a few of the best Creams Waffles below, but if you have a favourite we haven't included, we'd love to know about it. Send us a message on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and we might just add it to the round up.
Lotus Biscoff
What's included: This waffle incorporates the popular Belgian biscuit Lotus Biscoff. Tuck into generously crumbled biscuit, drizzled Lotus Biscoff spread and speculoos gelato, all on top of a fluffy circular waffle.
Chocolate Fudge Mess
What's included: Just one of the many waffles available for the chocoholics among us, this waffle is topped with crumbled hot chocolate fudge cake, toffee fudge pieces and toffee sauce.
Nutty Banoffee
What's included: Combining three delicious flavours, expect to find thinly sliced banana with a nutty chocolate spread and some sticky toffee sauce for good measure on the Nutty Banoffee Creams waffle.
Creams Bubble pop waffles
Fairly new to the word of desserts but growing in popularity, these waffles look more like giant bubble wrap and when folded into a cone shape make for the perfect place to hold a number of exciting fillings. As with previous sections, we've gathered together the best bits from the Creams menu, but there are others to explore in store.
Utterly Nuts
What's included: Filled with hazelnut, chocolate chips, soft vanilla ice cream and topped with Ferrero Rocher, roasted nuts, chocolate sauce and hazelnut chocolate spread, this may seem like an overload of nuts but we promise, it works.
Ultimate Chocolate
What's included: One for the chocoholics among us, this Creams bubble wrap includes Maltesers, chocolate chip and vanilla ice cream which are then topped with a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce and milk and white chocolate pieces to top it all off.
Banoffle Crunch
What's included: Banana and salted caramel make up the base for this one with fresh thinly sliced banana and fudge pieces, toffee sauce and Creams' signature wafer to top everything off.
Creams Crepes
Thanks to such a thin base which plays the perfect host to just about any flavour, crepe fillings and options really are endless. Whether you fancy filling it to the brim and eating it with a knife and fork, or slathering on a thin layer of chocolate spread and eating it with your hands, either way you really can’t go wrong with a crepe. These are some of the best ones in Creams, in our not so humble opinion.
Chocolate and Strawberry Indulgence
What's included: Keeping things simple, delicate slices of strawberries are stuffed inside a thin crepe and drizzled with generous amounts of chocolate sauce and chocolate shavings.
The Canadian
What's included: Stuffed with strawberries and drizzled with maple-flavoured syrup, this crepe's subtle flavours complement each other perfectly.
Crepe Royale
What's included: If you want to go all out the Crepe Royale is your best bet. Here crushed Ferrero Rocher, chocolate and hazelnut gelato and milk chocolate sauce is teamed with chopped roasted nuts and Creams' signature vanilla ice cream. Heaven.
Creams Puddings
If none of the above appeal and you just fancy a good old-fashioned slice of cake then Creams have lots of pudding options too. Dessert-wise, there isn’t much you won’t find on this menu. Have a scroll below for a handful of our top picks, before browsing the full Creams menu in store.
Chocolate Fudge Cake
What's included: This rich and moist chocolate fudge cake, filled with a rich chocolate ganache, can be served either hot or cold. Whichever way you plump for, we recommended teaming it with some of Creams' signature vanilla ice cream too.
New York Cheese Cake
What's included: This truly classic serve sees a digestive biscuit base topped with creamy baked vanilla cheesecake. The main event is topped with a berry compote for a tangy accompaniment to the sweet treat.
Raspberry Jam Slice
What's included: This teatime treat is a combination of light and fluffy sponge topped with raspberry jam - this dessert will take you back to school dinner days, but in the best way.

Apple Crumble
What's included: Tuck into this warm and hearty traditional pudding vegan style, with an apple filling and sweet crumble topping.
Creams Gelatos and Sorbet
Given that it’s called Creams, it may come as no surprise that there are countless gelato and sorbet flavours to choose from. From standard flavours like mint choc chip and hazelnut, to more out there flavours like Speculoos and bubble-gum blue, there truly is something for everyone. Picking just a few to feature here would have been like being made to choose between our favourite children, so we’ll let you discover the full range of flavours for yourself in store.
Creams cookie dough
We may have been told off as kids for sneaking raw cookie dough from the bowl, but at Creams, eating cookie dough is actually encouraged. We’ll admit this stuff is warmed through so a lot safer than our sneaky mouthfuls from the bowl, but it’s just as satisfying. Here are a couple
Peanut Butter
What's included: This cookie dough concoction takes things to a whole new level by adding a handful of our favourite things. Peanut butter cookie dough is served with milk and white chocolate sauce, chocolate shavings and vanilla pod gelato.
Sticky Banoffee
What's included: This dessert takes all the flavours of a good ol' banoffee and tumbles them in with cookie dough for a sweet, sticky treat. White chocolate cookie dough is covered with thin slices of banana, toffee sauce and fudge cubes, plus salted caramel gelato comes on the side too.
Creams Freakshakes
Imagine a milkshake and an ice cream sundae had a baby and you are close to imaging what a freakshake involves. Rarely staying within the confines of the glass it's in, you’ll need a spoon and a super sweet tooth to enjoy one of these chaps. Below our a few of our top choices, but the Creams menu has other options should you wish to broaden your horizons.
Cookie-a-dough-go
What's included: For those of us with child-like tastes, this cookie dough gelato milkshake topped with Creams soft serve vanilla ice cream should do the trick. The whole thing is finished off with chocolate sauce, white chocolate shavings and crumbled cookies.

Moch-A-Freak-Gato
What's included: Finishing a whole one of these can be a challenge, but it's a challenge we're always willing tot try. So, what's the deal? This is a vanilla and white chocolate milkshake with chocolate sauce and chocolate shavings served with a shot of espresso to pour over the top.
