Easily recognisable from its pretty frontage complete with marble surrounds and gilded doors, Heavenly Desserts in Watford is one of the best places in the city to treat yourself to something sweet. Here you’ll find a menu bursting with tempting creations from the group’s kitchen.
The brand was first established in 2008 and has proven so popular that it now has sites in nearly every city across the UK. For existing fans of the brand there’s a certain reassurance felt in the fact that wherever you go, the menu remains the same while newbies are sure to be impressed with the sheer level of choice on offer. Here in Watford the same luxuriously handcrafted, artisanal desserts are kept at the heart of the offering.
If you’re in the mood for sharing the fondue is a fun group option that can be ordered for upwards of two people. Think rich melted chocolate plus platters of sweet bites to dunk. From pieces of cone, brownies and cheesecake through to strawberries, banana and mango pieces, each mouthful can be an entirely new experience.
In fact, one of our favourite things about the menu is that so much of it can be tailored to your taste. Fancy extra toppings? No problem. Whipped cream? Coming right up. This truly is the stuff of childhood dreams. Aside from the desserts – which range from intricate tarts and carefully made pastries through to gooey dishes of warm cookie dough and sundaes overflowing with choice ingredients – there’s also a stellar drinks list. With mocktails, milkshakes and hot drinks, whatever time of the day you drop in you can treat yourself to a plate of something sweet accompanied by your favourite drink.
With vegan and gluten-free menus, most dietary requirements are catered for too, so that dining in mixed groups is easy and enjoyable for everyone. This isn’t just a run-through of items that happen to be compliant with various restrictions though, there are things like specially made gluten-free waffles and incredible vegan ice cream so that nobody has to feel as if they're compromising their experience.
