Found within Derby’s Intu Shopping centre on London Road, Heavenly Desserts is game changer for anyone with a sweet tooth. Sure, cafes are nice, but do you know what’s nicer? A café that strictly serves sweet treats.
This luxury chain of dessert bars opened in 2008 and has rapidly grown to be a UK-wide chain of franchises that stretches the length and breadth of Britain. Here, in Derby you’ll find all the treats that have made the brand a success served in the sleek, contemporary interiors. Whether you’re a loyal fan who already knows your favourite or are new to the delights of a dessert bar, the menu across every Heavenly Desserts bar remains the same, so that you always know what you’re getting.
For us there’s no greater part to the menu than the indulgent sundae section. Like something out of your childhood dreams, here you’ll find all kinds of wonderful, wacky combinations that are all too easy to eat. The ‘Cookie Crunch’ comes with cookies and cream gelato, chunks of chocolate chip cookies, warm Belgian chocolate sauce and a final sprinkling of Oreo pieces. Elsewhere there’s the ‘Lotus Biscoff’ that takes the cult-favourite spread and whips it into an all-out, fancy dessert served in a fun, retro sundae glass. Expect vanilla ice cream, Biscoff sauce, and Biscoff biscuit pieces for that wonderful combination of sweet and salty.
If ice cream isn’t your thing, then perhaps the rest of the selection might tempt you. There is quite literally something for everyone with such an expansive menu. Think mochi, profiteroles, cheesecakes, bowls of soft cookie dough, tortes, tarts, milk cakes and more. In fact, one of our favourite desserts is the fondue for two which gives you a fun sharing option. Think chocolate fondue served with pieces of fruit, cones, brownies, and cheesecakes as well as toppings that run from chocolate shavings through to biscuit crumbs and toasted nuts.
