Creams Cafe

Seeing that this Creams branch is closer to me than going all the way to Norbury, I had frequented this place in the past. Their food and the place itself were both delightful. Now that the prices have increased, it has become too expensive to enjoy a dessert there. The employees were generally neutral in their services, until I met the manager.
The service was awful. The manager had forgotten to give me change and the details of my order. When my dessert arrived, I requested for a glass of tap water and he had forgotten to bring that to me as well. Not sure if it was done on purpose, but at the time there weren’t many customers, so his forgetful behaviour was suspicious. Certainly not the friendliest of employees I’ve met, could note that the manager seemed quite hostile towards others as well.
I give the three stars for the past visits. The most recent visit has convinced me not to go back there, with the prices raised and not suited for the quality of the food being served.

Randomly came here before a gig at Brixton Academy. 4 stars for the waffles & 2 stars for the service. I ordered a waffle and asked to forgo the toffee syrup, the guy at the registered asked me to make sure. And then of course, my waffle was drenched in toffee sauce. The girl who made it offered to make another one, but the guy just guilt tripped me saying it would be wasted and claimed he doesnt remember me ever asking… less than 10 min ago. Its not that hard to admit you made a mistake. My friend end up eating mine out of courtesy. The waffles did taste great and looked perfect. Nothing was actually TOO sweet.

I found myself and a bunch of friends having had a hearty lunch on a Saturday afternoon, wandering the streets of Brixton in search of somewhere that would serve a range of desserts and be able to seat a group of 8 people. This was a surprisingly hard task to accomplish. We browsed through the Brixton markets and found it to be bustling and packed to the brim in all the small eateries. Cafes on the main or side streets also didn’t serve much by way of dessert, rather opting for English breakfast or paninis instead. So what do we do? We resort to searching on Google and it reveals that there is a dessert establishment called the Creams Café, a 10 minute walk from Brixton station. So we go to check this out.
Creams is also packed with people and understandably so given the scarcity of dessert elsewhere in Brixton and the dessert available here is not just any dessert, it in fact has a full impressive array from sundaes, crepes, waffles, cakes to ice cream, milkshake, and other varieties of drink. In short, it has everything to satisfy a sweet tooth. The portions are generous and good value; well worth the wait! The seating when it does become available is comfortable and spacious, with booths big enough to seat 8 people or tables lining the café that can be rearranged to accommodate for as many seats as you require.
A word of warning: the desserts are rich and can be loaded with additions such as cream, flakes, custard, chocolate shavings, etc. so go with some stomach capacity. The attention to detail and presentation is a pleasant surprise. Whilst there is clearly an effort to appeal to children with options such as bubblegum flavoured dessert and Cookie Monster or Hello Kitty cupcakes, the creative variety on offer is enough to spoil anyone for choice. A must-​go-​to stop if you’re in Brixton wanting dessert.
