Generally quite poor all round. The quality of the food is awful, the textures are all wrong, and the portion sizes are not worth the money. The shop itself has nice location, but the staff appear unhappy (poor pay no doubt). In honesty, I haven't once had a good sweet treat from creams, and don't know anyone who has. Will avoid in future. £7 for that piece of cake by the way... 7.

Had the crepe. Was very disappointed as there was very little taste of lemon and hardly any maple syrup. Definitely didn't manage to spread either to the edges of either crepe so we're very dry. Was my first visit and certainly not in a hurry to make a return visit. So disappointed as menu has some great photos.

I love creams and have been before but on mine and my boyfriend's anniversary, we went here and had waffles and they were just a bit disappointing. They were lukewarm and very big compared to how much ice cream we got. I would recommend creams but not the waffles

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Been here twice now and both times it wasn't open when it said it would be. Stupidly late opening times, and even when they're supposed to be open, they aren't. No signs on the doors to explain why they're closed. Total let down! Ruined our trips to Dorchester!

Food was fine however service isn't great. My son asked several times and politely for a takeaway cup for his slushie, to which he was either ignored or shunned off. He went to till area where 3 members of staff ignored him, and served people in the queue who arrived after him. When he finally got asked what he wanted he requested as follows.... "Can I please get a takeaway cup for my drink" response you'll have to order after the manager has served these customers first..... Then still got ignored. I then had to ask a waitress for it and no apology despite that fact I said he'd been ignored and stood at till for 5mins. Sort it out!!

Got the Knickerbocker Glory Sundae, which was ok. I'm still not really sure how to process what happened... The guy brought over our desserts and we started to eat them, as you do, and then after about 5 minutes the guy comes up (no gloves on) and goes "I'm sorry, I forgot to put banana on it" and before I can say anything, he puts the banana on my sundae and just walks off...

Average food - and that’s the most positive thing I can say about this place. When arrived, no one paid us any attention, we waited long minutes by the door though the place was practically empty. Finally somebody showed us to an empty table with an annoyed expression and complete lack of manners. Once seated, everything (table, menus) was sticky and gave a rather dirty, rundown impression. Long wait for our orders (brought by a waiter who should really use some deodorant…), everything is overpriced. We won’t be back.

I bought a creams delivery from Deliveroo and I was very unimpressed. I’d wanted to try getting from here for a while and finally did only to wish I hadn’t wasted my money. It is very over priced for small portions.. the ice cream isn’t really like ice cream and tastes of nothing. Mostly I was disappointed at the size of the pudding for the money it cost... I must say there thick shakes are delicious!! If we ever order from there again we won’t get the puddings.. rather pick something up better and cheaper from Waitrose we will only order from there to buy the shakes. 👍🏻

Visited last night for a birthday treat. Deserts were absolutely amazing, so well done for that.However, the cleanliness of the toilet room left a lot to be desired. It didn't look like it had seen a cloth in weeks and the bin was overflowing.Sadly, staff were not in the slightest bit bothered about customers wearing masks either. We felt very nervous when we left having to brush past queuing people without masks and there was a group of about 8 people sat where the queue was and only half of them were masked too.Overall we enjoyed our indulgence but would be put off going again during covid as measures need to be more stringent.

Was so looking forward to taking my 6 yr old and her friend for an afternoon treat for her birthday as I had heard about their delicious menu. On arrival, track and trace..excellent, but then it went a bit downhill. 🤔. Queues to order, very difficult to social distance. No children’s menu available...don’t know why! so had to pay full price, then our 4 desserts arrived individually over the space of around 15-20 minutes. After we had finished eating, the children’s slush puppies arrived, which were more like strawberry water with bits of ice. Only 1 staff member wearing a mask, no evidence of hand sanitizer, staff moved from cutting fruit to attending to customers paying and back again without cleaning hands or equipment. We were even given spoons which the waitress picked out of the container using the spoon head rather than the handle. Menu was extensive and very tempting but quite pricey although it was ok for a birthday treat. But overall the experience left us disappointed.

Dreadful attitude by staff. The person in charge was rude and the staff were not able to cope with the half-term crowds. Quite frankly they turned away so much business due to their lack of organisation. Won't be setting foot in the place again. They never even served us, despite being there for 20 mins. The staff refused to take our order because they were "too busy!!"

Went in on a Saturday midday. 5 children and 2 adults. Seated by a nice young lady. She explained the menu. And how to order etc. We had 7 drinks and 7 children size desserts, it came to £60. At the time I thought omg £60 on milk shakes and icecream! But in the grand scheme of things. It's an "experience" and a rare treat. Had we been in a restaurant and had 7 puddings and 7 drinks. It wouldnt have been much less! The food was really lovely! Plenty of it. Even from the kids menu. We were served at a reasonable time..and all the staff we came across were polite, helpful. And cheerful. My only negative of the place was the toilet. Wasnt dirty as such. But the sink looks loose on the wall. The locks loose. Just generally needs sorting. We'd happily return.

Came here for a family birthday treat. Wouldn’t again. Bathroom was dirty, hadn’t been cleaned for hours. The floor, dirty in the main area and the floor had stuff all over it. Overall hygiene of the place, very poor and not a hair net or glove in sight by the staff.Half the food came out in 10 minutes, the rest in half hour after ordered which made no sense? Did question this and the staff rude!! No one had a name badge on, probably so they can’t be held accountable. Spoke to who I believe was the manager who said there was a wait and tough. Over 40 minutes for a chocolate crepe in a place like this, nah!Food was average, overpriced artificial and not the best. I had a sundae and it wasn’t the best, wouldn’t eat from here again. Coffee taste like pis* and I guess I don’t actually have anything nice to say.

Arrived and managed to get a table straight away. The menus we were given were filthy and the table needed wiping. After ordering, it wasn’t a long wait till our order arrived. The order came out wrong so had to ask for them to sort it. Asked for an additional ice cream cone which was bought over to us in someone’s bare hand, no napkin or glove etc. The ice cream we had was ok but nothing to shout about. Expensive for average food. Only one toilet which was not clean and tidy. Will give this place a miss in the future.

Did not expect a great deal after reading reviews but was certainly pleased we went to try the ice cream and waffles. Service was ok bearing in mind the age of the staff and place itself is clean and comfortable with fresh décor. The food came quickly after ordering and we were surprised at the size of the waffles which were accompanied by very nice ice cream or whipped cream, they were already dripping in other sauces. certainly took some eating and not a place to go if on a diet. Not bargain prices but you certainly seem to get what you pay for and overall I felt price matched the product, have paid the same for a dessert a third of the size with a meal before. We shall return I'm sure.

This is my second experience of creams first time we tried it the place was filthy with flys flying around the place sticky stuff all over the floor and the restaurant was empty.It looked like a tip.We were given wat we believe was nuttela and was told it wasn’t,however they did replace.My icecream sundae was bought out dripping everywhere and the guys fingers looked like they were in it.The second time of visiting we were a little late and fair enough they didn’t want us sitting in however if your open till 10pm I don’t think 9.35 is too bad.We all choose our ice creams to takeaway but one of my daughters went to ask for a waffle and all we heard from a female member of staff is YOU ARE JOKING.This upset my young daughter and made her not want to have hers.It was a treat for her birthday and that is not acceptable to say for customers to hear.The guy that was serving us was clearly embarrassed by her.I complained to creams as I don’t think that this was acceptable and ruined a birthday treat but they didn’t bother to respond.

We’d been for dinner on mother’s day and decided to go to creams for dessert. We arrived at 4.12pm ordered a cappacino, a crepe and an ice cream. 4.24 we got the cappacino then at 4.38 I got my Ice cream. Then at 4.44 we got the crepe. All three of us got our orders miles apart. My mother had finished her coffee, I was half way through my ice cream before the crepe arrived for my sister. I complained and got the most nonchalant unsincere apology. In fact the apology for the service was made whilst he walking away from us.

These guys were kind enough to let us in just after closing on a Sunday night so we could have a cookie dough dessert. Any business that does that deserves an excellent review in my opinion.

I have been to creams twice with my daughter. I loved the look of the place and the food. But it is very expensive (£7 for 2 milkshakes). The first time, we got two ice creams, i had it in a cup and my daughter had it in a cone. Mine (in the cup) was about three times smaller than my daughters when we both asked for one scoop each. Next time I will ask for a cone! Despite that, the actual ice cream was amazing. The waffles are good to but the milkshakes are the best. I will go there again but only with my ice cream in a cone!!!

Booked two films for New Year's Eve at the cinema next door. Had 40 minutes between films and wanted somewhere for a coffee. Ended up having strawberry waffle and decaf latte. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Served by a northern chap: very chatty and friendly. To be honest, I am surprised at the other reviews about Creams - we were really impressed by the quality of the food, the speed with which it arrived and MOSTLY, how friendly the staff were. And it was 7.30pm on New Year's Eve.

We visited creams as a family treat after the cinema. My daughter's ice cream came out first, very good couldn't fault it. 10 minutes later my waffle turned up, apple and cinnamon, tasted lovely right up until I found a 12inch long hair running through the whole thing. Credit to the waitress she said she'd replace it. Another 5 minutes passed until my wife's turned up, again tasted lovely. Finally my replacement turned up, minus one lot of the ice-cream as the machine was now empty. This would apparently follow, it didn't but no big deal I said, just refund me the £2.25 I paid for additional scoop. Wow you'd have thought the world had ended, can't do that I ate that one, the other one is free, we all know nothing is free. I said if that's the case refund me the whole plate as it had a hair in it. No they replaced it. Half way through trying to negotiate this the supervisor stormed off, not to be seen again. Then tried to talk to someone in the till who said they could refund 45p for a whippy ice-cream. Had lost the will to live by now and left it. Not so much as one apology for anything.

I agree with the other bad reviews. Waited over 30 mins for 2 tiny sundaes (£7.90 and £7.45 each). Squirty cream from a can replaced the vanilla ice cream they had run out of. I asked why not just use another flavour? They said that that is what they had been told to do. No apology. Just poor quality ice cream and a bit of sauce (and canned cream!) No atmosphere in the place, just grumpy parents and even grumpier kids waiting for their food! Waste of time and money. Avoid.

Have wanted to visit here for months and was slightly disappointed, we were sat next to a huge kids party, who were of course noisy ... only one toilet for everyone , I didn’t like the menu as it was so busy with colour and it was a big menu that I found it hard to read .. so I just had two scoops of ice cream in a dish .. the taste was amazing and very creamy .. would recommend and will return , but I won’t rush too xx

Wow I have never experienced such a disappointing place, the staff looked and acted like robots with no emotion especially the server molly, who also lied about dealing with my food that never came out to me even though I waited over 30mins.

We went here for a birthday treat. As suggested in the menu we downloaded their ap and tried to use a voucher we were given for a few scoop of ice cream, the staff couldn't get the voucher to work and could we come back another day to use it, rather than trying to find a solution. It was a bit annoying but not the end of the world. The ice cream selection is great and very nice and my little boy was thrilled. Some of our group had pancakes, they were very tough and seemed like they had been microwaved rather than cooked fresh. The waffle was the biggest let down, it was full of egg shells. When we told the waitress she took it away and made no apology, in fact no one acknowledged it and I had to go and ask for a refund when we left. I still got no apology except for the fact she was struggling to work the till. Definitely won't go back.

6 of us visited one Saturday, the decor was meant to be American diner, it was, however, just dark and dismal. Our party was 4 adults and two children, we ordered 4 cones and 2 bowls of ice cream - each portion was brought to the table individually meaning that the first person was finishing their cone before the last one even got served. One bowl of ice-cream had obviously been sitting so long it was melting so it had to go back - more waiting.... Will not go again even though the ice cream was quite nice, what a shame and perhaps the staff could smile once in a while?

Waited 30 minutes for our waffle to come out then another 20 minutes later the pancakes arrived they were not very busy and appeared to have enough staff. I will not go back.

Booked the night before, made very welcome on arrival. The selection of food was very good and we did not have long to wait for the meals to arrive which was good as we were very hungry. The meal was first rate and we all enjoyed the food and drinks. Would certainly recommend "The George" if you are visiting West Bay.

What’s the point of having operating hours if you can’t order anything an hour before close.

Great Fish and chips . Don’t take cash .It is legal tender in UK ,why not? Lunch atmosphere ruined by screeching loud vocalist. Could not hold conversation with friend . Would have thought in such a place as Poundbury grand piano and smooth music would be more appropriate or something similar . Couple on next table were like minded .They could not speak either

Very disappointed with some meals.Fish pie was good. Roast lamb was tough. Plaice was nice but very small. Vegetables were just boring boiled. Staff were friendly, speed of service was good. A nice log fire too. We will not return due to the food

Since my last review on Costa Coffee, Copper Street, Brewery Square, Dorchester the management has changed. The Store Manager there at the moment isn’t nothing like the last one. She has been late several times wen she is supposed to be there on time, turns up wen she feels like it, relies on other members of staff to do her job for her, cuts staff hours, gets members of staff to train trainees wen she should be doing it. If, she’s not committed to do her job properly, she shouldn’t be the Store Manager. Bring in someone who interacts with the customers, friendly, and invites the customers back. Very disappointed in Costa this time round, the Area Manager should consider the next Store Manager.
