The ice cream they sell here is most definitely not gelato! Why label It as that? It doesn’t even taste of ice cream. It just tastes of ice and sugar, no flavour at all. Friendly service but won’t be coming here again. Not going to pay for ice sorry.

Worst ice cream ever tasted. Just mixed sugar in water to make sweet ice. Ice pieces were clearly seen. They even dont know what actually ice cream should like. When showed the staff he said we are not specialist in ice creams.

That is there regular waffle. Instead of saying regular waffle they need to write small half waffle.

Honestly it’s so crazy expensive they provide such basic basic service…. Each ice cream scoop is £3 so if you order 3 flavours its £9 while on the menu it says £5.49…. Not worth the wait Churros had too much cinnamon looked like it was burnt The mango ice cream is just like concentrate not real mango The ferrero Rochelle taste nice 👍🏽

Gelado Passion's Oreo waffle is a must-try! The blend of crunchy Oreos and fluffy waffle is pure delight. Plus, the cozy atmosphere adds to the overall experience. Don't miss it if you're at Gelado Passion – a sweet treat you'll remember!

I waited over one hour for my order to be delivered via Uber eats which was within a 1 mile radius of my house. Arrival times was 20-40 minutes originally. No updates given, rang in 3 times asking and was told order should have been delivered but hadn't yet been delivered. Absolutely ridiculous service. And it them arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes late, with the incorrect order, and all melted food!. The shop closed whilst i was trying to ring them over 8 times, saying they'll get me an update but then closed down without having the decency to call me back.

Used to go here a lot sadly it's gone downhill. Asked for Desi tea and was told it would take 15 mins which in my opinion you should have ready like most places, no milk cakes so i ordered a peanut butter stack which looked more like a peanut butter SMASHED it was warmed too much. Our crepe that we ordered was cold and only came with whipped cream only. We also had to wait 20 mins for these disappointing deserts to arrive.

Food is Good But service is Shocking!!!. I recently revisited the shop after a long time, only to find that it has significantly deteriorated. I don't have an issue with the staff being young, but they displayed a complete lack of concern or better customer service. To make matters worse, there is a hole in the floor that poses a safety hazard. I unfortunately twisted my ankle last night because the hole was concealed by a mat with no warning signs. The staff member I approached about this matter showed absolute disregard for my situation. I am extremely angry and could potentially pursue legal action, although I have chosen not to do so. SORTED IT OUT BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED SERIOUSLY!⚠️

This place just keeps going downhill. Ordered a large cookie dough and got served a regular one, when I asked about it they lied and said it's large, and that the flavour I ordered comes in smaller sizes compared to others. What sense does that make? They clearly messed up and couldn't be arsed fixing it or refunding me the difference. Not to mention the extortionate prices (£6 for a regular milkshake or slice of cake). Highly recommend avoiding and taking your money elsewhere, absolute scam of a place.

Ordered desserts totalling over £60. A few items never arrived. Phoned them. They apologised and said come and get them. I advised them I am unable to, and that it's their fault, they should bring the items out to me. They said OK, kept me waiting but didn't redeliver. I rang again, twice, and they wouldn't answer. The next day I rang to complain, the person who answered didn't have a clue what I was on about. I asked to speak to the manager and got told he's busy. I got my refund through PayPal eventually.

There is no spark in the place like there used to, the customer service was cold, and the toilets are still out of service. There was nowhere for us to wash our hands.

Very awful experience. I was here like one or two years ago and it was great, I ordered food and kids were playing. Now, when I just have went in they asked 3 pounds cash each child to use softplay. I paid and went to my table. There another waitress approach me and say I have to order at least 8 pound food so kids can play... So they wanted me pay 14 pounds so two small kids can eat ice cream and play, because I don't think they would eat waffle or sundae, unless it's about wasting food. Not nice experience and question: why you take cash for using softplay and no receipt is given? My daughter really loved this place but they started ripping off people.

I now know why it's always empty! Rude male staff giving me the evil eye, then to make matters worse I discovered they contaminate their desserts! I ordered a strawberry syrup waffle, when it came the syrup had bubbles popping up on the plate, then when I lifted my fork into the waffle strings about a mile long were coming away off my plate!!! So they obviously are spitting in the syrup and desserts and doing God knows what else to the desserts. Disgusting people, shame on them! NEVER going again.

I’m not much of a dessert person so decided to get some churros and also the chocolate fondue as I felt they won’t be too sweet. The chocolate fondue was perfect with marshmallows, chocolate brownies and strawberries and bananas. The fondue was the perfect sweet fix without being too heavy and the churros were nice and light and with some melted chocolate I enjoyed it very much. I cannot wait to go back. The staff and managers were so nice and friendly.

Been here once. Ordered 2 Oreo Milkshakes. They did other ice creams and shakes and waffles but we just went with the Milkshakes (they probably do more but we were in a rush). They only thing I can say is a bit pricey £4.50 for regular size shake but the shake was nice and they have space at the back to sit down privately. Got served straight away and wasn't waiting long (but we didn't come at busy time) -1 star for being a tad for pricey (sorry guys)

I was table 23 however the guys at table 24 who came in after food arrived first. They only take cash which was a bit of an inconvenience.

Very unprofessional staff. Gave cv and was called to come in for training. First it was 2 days (UNPAID) then decided to add another 1. Then invited my brother for training too. Was told we both had the jobs. And will be giving shifts on the Sunday which was 3 days later. Been 2 weeks. The excuse that was used oh the boss had "a lot" on. So why call school leavers to come for training? It wasn't just us . A few ppl they have done this to. They are making ppl do so many hours training, and saying have jobs. But don't contact us. They are calling ppl for free work. Just wanted to give this a notice of what they are doing.
