Sweet. Barkingside in Redbridge

Excellent customer service from Uwais. Even though there was not much in the shop, he still was passionate and gave me a variety of option to choose from. He was quick and very polite.

Heard this shop is closing. So sad to hear that. No one else does desserts like them. You have set the standards so high guys ! Had Ferrero Waffles from Urban Chocolatier with a Ferrero Shake bit it was nothing like Sweet. The Sweet people put quite a bit if hazelnuts as in their waffle. And I. An say the same about the sslhake, great quantity of Nutella amd Ferrero Rocher in their shake. Sadly we might not have this for long. Please do not close. We need you in Barkingside you Sweet people !

Gave the bananaberry crepe without any berries and half a banana..

I was served about a week ago by a guy named safe. I ordered a kinder Bueno milkshake and a strawberry mojito to take away. The milkshake and mojito were excellent. The reason why I put 2 stars for atmosphere is because the restaurant was empty and dull. There wasn't any ice cream, and he told me there wasn't much of anything in stock. Not sure if that's because they sold out or if they are out indefinitely. Overall, good food, good service, bad atmosphere.

Ordered crepes, it was dry and lacked any flavour it was caked in way too much chocolate, the glasses and cutlery were not clean, highly recommend you avoid this place

Really poor! We walked in, the guy sitting behind the till (with his coat on!) shouts sit wherever and scan for the menu. Table was sticky and clearly hadn't been cleaned properly. Girl takes the order, then proceeds to take a call (via airpods) whist her and the guy (still in his coat) make the food. The girl continues with her phone call using foul language and swearing. She then sees the guy has put the wrong toppings on and say "don't worry, just scrape it off"!! We left before we could see/hear anything else. It use to be a really nice place with a good atmosphere, the place was empty, but not surprising if others recieve the same treatment. Won't be going back.

I wanted to say a big thank you to the young gentleman who served us at sweet on Tuesday 23rd July around 9pm in the evening. The best pancakes I’ve ever had, and my cousin visiting from the states said it was the best pancakes he’s ever had. Thank you for the quick service, being so attentive and being so hospitable, we will be back very soon!

Really disappointed with our visit to sweets yesterday evening. This place used to be good. There was only 1 person working which meant our orders came out 1 at a time and took ages. We ordered 2 waffles and 4 milkshakes. By the time the last milkshake came out the first 2 people had already finished their waffles as we had been waiting over 30 minutes. The kids milkshake took ages to come out even though it’s tiny and they just had to sit and watch everyone else finish their desserts. The quality was not great either of the shakes, tasted like old chocolate was used and the strawberry milkshake just tasted like milk. I was reluctant to pay full price due to poor service and taste but was told I have to. Also the hygiene standards have really slipped. Toilet was gross. Cakes on display really need to be changed as you can see from the image. Quite sad really and previously had been a lot better. Won’t be visiting again

Always enjoy myself coming in, whether it’s for a crepe or waffle with friends or just a drink passing by and it is open. Service can be a bit slow sometimes but staff are very friendly. The only reason it’s not got 5 stars is to do with the opening times. It used to be open in the mornings but it seems to only open up mid-late afternoon now?? I go swimming on Saturday mornings and sometimes I’d stop by for a drink afterwards but it is always closed now at that time.

Professional, pleasant, quality food

ice cream portion i was given is 1 small spoon

I can only comment on one particular item. Their cookie dough always comes out fresh piping hot just the way I like it and served in the baking pot. Compared to others I definitely come back for it. Unfortunately can't comment on any other item they sell.

The first red flag was that it was so empty. I ordered three cakes then about 10 minutes later they told me they were all sold out and then said okay no worries chose another two flavours they then told me sorry we do not have this either I just laughed and got an ice cream and had to get a refund which a young lady didn’t seem too happy about even though it was there fault awful staff I think it’s run by 15 years olds on their phone DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

2022: We discovered SWEET one morning, and loved the Desi breakfast. It was really tasty - both the meat & veggie version. Our child loved the French toast and pink school cake. Staff were friendly although service can be hit and miss. UPDATE: we found the opening hours changed around a fair bit and more often than not it was no longer open when we wanted to visit. Understandable if they don’t get enough customers in the morning but we were disappointed and now go elsewhere.

Competitive but not classy as others

We was given an original time of 7;45 and then time kept going up every minute. In the map you could see driver was sitting outside restaurant for 5 minutes or so. Wrote driving the complete opposite direction and different way to where we was. Waited 45 minutes considering it’s nearby to where we was.

The most watery milkshake ever!!! Never ordering ever again!!! I feel completely mugged off and gave it to my 1 years old to finish as the sugar level has been diluted with too much ice!!!

The order was 10 minutes late and the driver admitted they were delivering another order on a different app. This is not acceptable and some of the food was not at the right quality/temperature

I went there today for the first time and served by 2 young handsome boys uwais and sameer,they were so nice,professional,friendly,God bless them ,i took ice cream for my kids and these guys cooperate well,highly recommended shop,they r doing well,best of luck and prayers for u guys,it was really a pleasure to meet u guys uwais and sameer,will visit soon again.

First and last time ordering from here! For the price of Dessert, you’d expect a good quality dessert. The portion was ridiculous! Paid £8.50 for a Bubblegum sundae which came in a plastic cup with literally 3 small scoops of ice cream and bubblegum syrup. My girls weren’t happy. Could have at least added colourful sprinkles or chocolate flake or even a wafer?? Ordered a rocher crepe and bueno waffle. The ice cream that came with it was a joke! 2 tiny scoops of what tasted like very cheap and small icy bits in one cup. Wasn’t even enough for both dessert. And most Definitely was NOT gelato!

Best Milkshakes in the area thank you to Mehr for choosing my order

Had a milk cake was nice and had milk inside never seen that before

Maher and Sameer’s service is exceptional and they are both very hospitable.

SWEET. Barkingside's milk cake is a delightful treat that exceeded expectations. Thanks to Najeeb's recommendation, I discovered this hidden gem. The cake's rich flavor and creamy texture make it a must-try for dessert enthusiasts. A sweet experience worth savoring

SWEET. Barkingside serves up delightful waffles, with the standout being the irresistibly crispy and tasty 'Strawberrytella.' The experience was made even sweeter thanks to the exceptional service from Najeeb and Mehar, who deserve special thanks for adding a personal touch to our visit

Overpriced - Absolute rip off, a cheesecake and caramel tart for £14. When asked why I was charged more than what's on the menu, the reply by staff was that the prices have changed and that's it! On top of that I was served cold custard....avoid

Good waffles, really crispy and tasty (Strawberrytella) Had scooped ice cream (bubblegum) and received some good sized scoops! Really good service from the two guys, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and visit again

Great customer service from Sameer/Samir. Very approachable and better people skills than you see in most adults. Keep it up 👍🏻

Out of stock of many items and 1 thin slice of cheesecake for £6.50?!

Should change their name to BITTER. Not lying when I say it was the WORST crepe I've ever tried (tried not eaten as I was not able to consume it). Was thick and cakey, as if it were made of concrete mix, I had one bite and refused to eat the rest, no taste to it either - other than being drizzled in chocolate (asked others with me to try it to check it wasn't just me). An insult and a poor excuse for a crepe, especially charged at almost £9! Horrendous service. My double espresso was served without a spoon or sugar to add (I had to request this). Each item was placed on the edge of the table before walking off - no asking who ordered what, or serving to the specific diner. You'd think the kids' ice cream would be served before anyone or anything else (literally 2 scoops each from the counter freezer), but these came very last, after hot drinks and the other desserts - unacceptable when it's young children too. The young man behind the counter seemed a bit inexperienced and out of his depth, while the lady working there seemed miserable as if she didn't want to be there. In any case, I refused to pay for this dreadful encounter, which was acknowledged by the lad, who to be fair was clearly not the owner or manager and therefore was not his problem. Goes without saying, will not be back for seconds. Other negative reviewers appear to corroborate what I've said, surprised these lot are still in business. That it was practically empty when we arrived should have been a red flag. Images of the "crepe" attached.

There should be a zero star option! Had the worst experience service was slow to non existent as hot drinks were served they were placed on the end of the table and the server walked away without any acknowledgement. I ordered the caramel tart and custard, once my dessert arrived I had to wait another 5 mins for for cutlery, then given a knife and fork for a tart and pot of custard! Also ordered scoops of ice cream for kids and that arrived way after the rest of the desserts. A nice afternoon treat completely ruined by awful service, and poor quality desserts. I would not recommend this place to anyone! Avoid at all cost.

Milkshakes got no flavours waste of time

Lovely atmosphere and the service was excellent. The dessert jars were fantastic, the go-to dessert at Sweet in my opinion.

The cake was as dry as my back foot. Avoid this place at all costs. Stick to the Mile End branch, it’s way getter.

Went tonight for afters, the guy named Farhan suggested milk cake upon asking what is the best cake and cant thank him enough for his suggestions.... Utterly delicious milk cake i have ever had! Thx farhan and the team x will definitely visit again xx

It's OK but value for money isn't great

Ordered on just eat and I was honestly so disappointed. On the menu they have ‘white hot chocolate £3.50’ & ‘deluxe white hot chocolate £4.50’ with no description to what comes in the drink I assumed deluxe versions would have atleast whipped cream and whatever else would cost a whole £1 more, ordered 2 deluxe white hot chocolates and received a standard white hot chocolate, no cream no toppings so I was literally ripped off and could have just purchased the cheaper one as that was what I was going to receive anyway. To make things worse, both apple crumbles with custard came straight out of the fridge, when the description clearly states served with hot custard. This was my first time ordering from here but it’s very evident the staff are lazy and couldn’t care less about customers, if I wrote in the notes demanding free cream on my hot chocolate ect then I understand but I have paid £4.50 x2 for something that literally costs £3.50 on your own menu, it’s really not about the money it’s about customers ordering and expecting to receive what they’ve paid for and unfortunately it comes across like my order was rushed and I was mislead by their menu. Definitely will not be ordering from here again, I actually work in a dessert shop very local to this and I’ll be making sure they lose a few customers

I am literally speechless, ordered two deluxe white hot chocolates for £4.50 each yet they had no extra, no cream no special toppings, literally just a white hot chocolate, so I could have ordered white hot chocolate for £3.50 and received the exact same thing! If this wasn’t bad enough the two apple crumbles with custard I ordered all came cold like straight out of the fridge cold, nothing was heated at all, yet description said served with hot custard! This place is misleading and a rip off

The driver never delivered our food and never called us to inform about his arrival. Instead marked the order as delivered. Absolutely ridiculous

Awful service and overpriced with small portions. Avoid.

I have ordered 3 chocolate brownie fudge shake, but there was only two and that too different shake. I am very disappointed with the order and I have already submitted for full refund

My order got delivered to the wrong house and I had to ho myself to ask neighbours

It was too expensive for its size and just not worth it

If I could I'd give 0 stars. Ordered on Uber eats. The apple crumble was ice cold. Literally. I don't know how you can charge money for this. This was the cherry on the top because even the custard was cold. Had to warm that up first then only to find out about the crumble. The apple crumble comes in one of those circle aluminium trays so can't even put it in the microwave. Tried calling them but they don't even answer. They know what they are doing. They are scammers for sure. STAY AWAY

Incredibly disappointed how they have reduced the portion sizes for takeaways. I ordered a cookie dough that was literally the size of a babies palm. In the shop, costing the same amount, the dessert is 4 times the size. Feel totally ripped off. Won’t be ordering from there again.

The apple crumble wasn't cooked or hot and the custard was straight out of the fridge and cold.

We always pick shakes and desserts from this place. Strangely, we ordered Strawberry sundae and strawberry milkshake- both of them had a pungent taste. The strawberry ice cream seemed gone off. Not very happy.

Potion size is slightly smaller compared to others in the area.

Not ordering from here again. Everytime we have tried to order sorbet, they never have it in and always phone us. You should take it off the menu when you run out. Then when trying to get our money back and cancel the order because what we wanted was out of stock, they tell us they can't and to go through just eat. To which just eat will charge full amount still it we cancel. It's lose lose. So we have to order something completely different that we didn't want just so we don't lose our money. Not coming here again, it's happened more than once and is unacceptable.

First time trying their waffles, but not their cookie dough. I wasn't let down. Will order again in the future.

The smallest ever cookie dough I have ever had for 12 quid- Absolutely disgusting!!!!

Such bad cakes! All spongy and tasteless. Please improve your taste!

The food got all wet from the drink because they did not sealed it properly, and no straw woth the drink!

Please teach your staff how to make desserts first rather they telling us that is how they supposed to be very rude disgusting that they are uncooked.

All the condensed milk was spilled in the box . They need to do proper packaging-maybe in a plastic box. The container tray inside a cardboard is not at all a good idea for a milk cake. Was so looking fwd to it but it was so dry as all the liquid was spilled.

went to here to eat in and had to as for 4 different deserts before they finally had one in store, waiting time ages. Don’t recommend

Very clean and comfortable atmosphere with good selection of delicious desserts

the food was great, however it took way too long to come and i was the only person in the whole place so it shouldn't have taken that long. they are supposed to open at 2 pm but they opened at 2:20 which i didn't love.

Order was late waffles cold and ice cream has melted and is just milk

Really nice milkshake and cake. Nice desert 10/10. Friendly staff .

Didn’t even give a straw with the milkshake.. not the first time.

Loved it! Friendly service and delicious desserts. Clean place , well done !

Awful experience. Made us wait 40min for food and then confirmed they had forgotten the order.

Love this place and desserts....

Best Desi breakfast, we have ever had and the chai was amazing. The Turkish pizza was to die for. Everything we had was delicious. Will be returning soon.

It's not worth the money. The Mojito is made with "Sprite" we saw him making it. And they charge £6.50 for it. It did taste nice nut They are very crafty and stingy... for an example, my iced latte didn't taste like there was coffee in there, so my husband asked how many shots they added. The waiter at the Till said there was two shots, my husband said it didn't feel like it and the waiter answered back: shall I add more milk. Like wth! I started laughing that was funny and so sad at the same time. The owner was standing at the back watching, didn't even walk up and offer to replace, it's not like I wanted another one as my expectation is low but would have been extra customer service and make feel like okay. The staff are friendly and they do really nice kids waffle. If they need to use sprite and mint leave and claim its a monitor then they should make it in a blind spot or get rid of sprite lable. I didn't drink my latte and didn't finish the apple crumble. Customer service is nice.

Ordered a lotus Cheesecake lots of times before but today it tasted stale and it was inedible so not happy!

Cookie dough was cold. Not great customer service. Milkshake was okay.

My family and I used to love going to Sweet, but the place has gone down hill massively over recent years. I'll leave a photo showing just how disgustingly dirty the place was. There were mosquitoes everywhere, too! Be prepared to spend lots of money as well. Overhyped and overpriced. 2.3/10.

Cold cookie dough and over-baked. Little flavour.

Been there many times as I am local. I must say it's a lovely place with a very friendly staff. I took my own plate today and requested them to serve in my own plate to take away instead of a takeaway box, they were happy to accommodate and even wrote a msg for me as requested 🙂. Delicious as always. Highly recommend 👌

Sat in Urban Chocolatier this minute with my wife and daughter. Placed an order for the French toast, milk cake and the white chocolate cookie dough. Took a few bites and thought… what have I paid for? The desserts taste basic, no amazing feeling on the taste buds!. Urban Chocolatier is very fancy and stunning to look at but their desserts come no where near that of sweets. The Sweets milk cake is second to non and similar style of desserts to Urban Chocolatier taste 💯 tastier.

Good dessert place, was open till late.

Ordered a Ferrero Rocher “Sundae” which consisted of a scoop of vanilla ice cream with one Ferrero Rocher, chocolate sauce and whipped cream on top. Paid £7 for this

Dessert menu is extensive, and portions are massive. Surrounds are bit dark at night few extra lights as menu is dark also. Decent prices and polite staff.

Order wrapped well to prevent spill. Great customer service.

Just been to sweets in barkingside, was fantastic 100% can't fault this place not sure if its new owners now but service was on point and the Desserts, had some lovely tea as well taken my famliy in today had to put an review, they also doing bunch now on weekends going to try that out for sure. Thanks sweets

Don't take card for some reason and haven't for some while, which in this day and age is very odd and inconvenient. Otherwise food is okay.

Didn’t even receive it, seems the driver just kept it since it said it was delivered

I didn’t receive my cookie dough only got the ice cream which is annoying

Middle of the road experience. The food is acceptable, but the entire service proposition is just lacking: it really just oozes having no value add to make this a premium desserts place.

Poor customer service, staff were pre-occupied, not present why serving us, felt like staff don’t want to be here and mistakes were made on a simple 2 item order. With the prices you pay you’d expect a little more.

We ordered 4 waffles, one was over cooked and 2 were under cooked. The strawberry waffles had less chocolate on it.

Always love a good Cake and drink here it's undefeated for me. The staff are always so kind and attentive. I don't think I've ever had a bad time here. I've had parties for birthdays and such and it's ways pleasure. Keep up the great work.

Good service from the staff but just be warned that if you order the Karak chai, it is a powder mix and is not made fresh. They also don't accept card payment which I'm not sure how long it's been the case but it's been a few months now.

Food was terrible, hardly any toppings on my food, it’s cold and dry.

I received less than half a bueno on my bueno waffle. And 1 Ferrero rocher on my ferrero waffle. Never again.

Received half a bueno on a waffle and one ferrero on the other. Waffles were premade and just reheated- can tell by the stale taste!

Missed out a portion of strawberries tried calling them

Average taste. Chewy Waffles. Overpriced

Soft waffle, barely heated, no refund

Horrible experience. Although the deserts taste good, the staff are all over the place, talking with friends instead of taking orders and having an attitude problem. Although there were only 4 tables to serve, the order took forever and it seemed to be too much for them. It would really help if the place would have nice, dedicated staff, who know what they re doing. Shame!!

Really good dessert cafe, very warm and helpful staff.

I am quite on and off with sweet the inside is really pretty and Cozy but with delivery it can be disappointing. Some items you get a really good and some not as much it just depends. I have tried a lot of items from here i recommend the school cake, chocolate milkshake, brownie. The strawberries are not fresh either hard or squishy. Cookie dough sometimes comes burnt and very little portion. The kids fondont is very basic and not fun. Staff are friendly but overall place is quite mid

Under new management, I don't think they know what's is French Toast dessert ? Awful experience. Forgotten to take pictures

Great selection of desserts and nice ambience. Knocked off a star as it's annoying that they only take cash/bank transfers

Wow, amazing crepes and wafles just love this shop!

My order was incorrect and a part of it was completely missed

very tasty pancakes and cappuccino with roses. nice interior and attentive staf.

Melted milkshake sent with no straws won’t be ordering from here again took milkshake out to drink which was over filling with milkshake and spilled all over my floor
