    two milkshakes with whipped cream and caramel
    Zaakirah K.

    I love coming across female-owned businesses, especially when the place is "instagrammable" and offers a great spot to hangout over dessert. I've been seeing Dessert Lounge often on social media for a while now, so I was very excited to try it. It's easy to find the unit in the plaza as it stands out. The moment you step in, you almost won't feel like you're in Pickering. The interiors are beautiful - pink, florals and very comfy seating (plus the tables are well spaced out so you don't feel too close to other people). The staff are also very friendly and welcome you with a warm welcome and smile. Menu is available online and a QR code is available at every table. There's a lot of variety on the menu and a terrific selection, it almost makes it hard to choose what to get because everything sounds delicious. Here's some of the items we ordered: * Masala Chai Latte ($7.25): what I loved is not only the taste with the hint of cinnamon, but the presentation was super cute. It came with a flower and two heart-shaped palmiers. * Milkshakes - French Cinnamon & Spiked ($9.95): the perfect drink to wake you up or if you're looking for the perfect hint of coffee. The lotus drink tasted exactly like a lotus biscuit so it made for the perfect dessert. * Signature Creations* - Choco Coco Crepe ($18.95) & Holiday Waffle ($19.95): I would've ordered waffles for both if I knew that the waffles would turn out to be my favourite. The batter was great abd the taste was even better. I loved the addition of the coconut shavings. The ice cream that came with the desserts were also of a very generous portion/scoop! I love having the option and the great balance between fruity and chocolatey dessert because I feel like most dessert shops focus more on chocolate desserts and don't offer the same kind of balance/variety. For someone who also doesn't usually like waffles, I wasn't expecting to love the waffles as much as the crepe so this was a sweet surprise. * Carrot Cake ($12.75): I didn't get to try it since I was quite full but when I brought it home, it finished quickly which tells me it was delicious. I chose carrot cake as it looked different to the other cakes I've seen and I loved seeing that it has a lot of almonds And now for my favourite item: the Strawberry Cheesecake Croffle ($13.95). Super soft and so good. It was the ultimate chef's kiss Other items I'd like to try include: the cream rolls, saffron tea and the shiryakh (this is an Afghan own dessert shop, so they do have some authentic Afghani desserts too!) Items were really well presented. I'd prefer less powdered sugar but otherwise it was so nice.

    Heaffles - Gross strawberry syrup covered waffle

    Best coffee ever. The lattes are to die for…read moretheir flavours are all made in house latte art is awesome

    If you're GF Not Worth Jumping Through the Hoops…read more When I found this place online, I was so excited. When one must follow a gluten-free diet, it is so nice to find places where you can eat what everyone else gets to enjoy. This was anything but enjoyable. I was planning a little Halloween getaway to Kingston and searching for a new and exciting breakfast place to stop on my way there. I found Heaffles and read through their website--I'm always very careful and vet my restaurants before the trip and plan food meticulously, you have to when you cannot eat gluten. The site stated that if you want a gluten free waffle, you must call 24 hours ahead of time. I immediately thought that was ridiculous (that eliminates any possibility of a GF person walk-in from eating there) but messaged them on Instagram. I asked if I could message then and schedule or did a I have to call. They told me I must call the day before. Pain in the bum, but I set a reminder in my phone and did so. The next day, I show up. Such a cute place and the breakfast that kicks off a trip always makes me so happy. We don't eat out much at all, living so rurally. It had also been ages since I'd enjoyed a GF waffle, so excitement was high. This place has a ton of potential. The seating is cute, the bathrooms clean and so beautifully decorated. There is even a little cubby with cushions that would make it feel as though one was having breakfast in bed. I really did fall in love with the space. There didn't appear to me to be a traditional server comes to your table. You walk in and place your order at the counter. I ordered a Flat White to drink along with a water and a gluten-free coconut rush. The young lady at the counter was very quick to tell me that they had a customer coming in to get a GF waffle and that they only had enough batter for one waffle and that I would need to try again and call 24 hours beforehand. Right before I told her I was that customer, my brain was like, what? You have enough batter for ONE waffle??? I make GF stuff all the time. It is NOT that expensive. And what if you mess up that ONE waffle (and they did because she didn't listen to me)? I said, "Oh, I called yesterday." And I had driven a very long way. I would hate for anyone else to do that and end up disappointed. After that, I was allowed to order my waffle. Coconut is my favourite sweet flavour, but it came with strawberries and strawberry syrup. I told her THREE times I didn't want the strawberries or the syrup. Strawberry jam, jelly syrup...I hate them all, also cannot stand cooked fruit. She told me she could put the strawberries on the side and that they were uncooked. I said that was okay, but reiterated AGAIN that I do not want or like the strawberry syrup. I thought I might get my drinks at the counter, but she said they would bring everything to my table. I sat within view of the counter by the window. I assumed, as at most places, the drinks would come out first. I had started on the Terra Health heartburn kit to kick my PPI script and needed to take the supplements before eating. Some ladies came in after me and they got their drink order while I sat and waited. The waffle came out, and I was too panicked by not taking my supplements to pay that much attention and told them I needed some water and that I didn't have my coffee yet. They came back in a few minutes and in the meantime, I saw that the waffle I'd paid nearly $30 for, along with a very tiny flat white coffee, was drenched...every inch in yucky strawberry syrup. I'm a silver lining kind of girl, so I told myself to try it, maybe my tastes have changed. Nope. It was this strong, chemically strawberry flavour that made me gag. Talk about disappointed. At this point it was late in the morning and I was starving. I opened up the waffle (the size, even if they'd managed to listen to my order was not worth what I paid) and ate some of the filling out. The only waffle that had no nasty syrup was at the fold and I ate the four bites I could. The coffee was literally 3 swallows. I left hungry and angry. And in all that time, no one ever came back to ask me how the order was...and I knew I couldn't send it back because that was their ONE GF waffle batter of the day. I had to stop at Wendy's and spend another $10 for a bunless burger after. I would never go back. The ask and not having the batter available is beyond RIDICULOUS, despite the fact they don't listen, which makes a GF person VERY nervous. You couldn't pay me to eat there again. Poor service, poor value and food I couldn't stomach. Not for me.

    You've got everything you need right along Old Kingston Rd and top of that list is Coffee. Start…read moreyour day off right at Creek Coffee & Co. There's plenty of seating including little tables to catch up with a friend, a bench with stools to plug away at on a laptop, and a cozy couch in the back with a nicely stocked bookshelf (more on this later). I had a vanilla latte and it was made perfectly. Looking forward to trying their other drinks. Kudos to the barista who was patient with me and answered all my questions. They also have alternatives to milk for those who prefer almond, oat or soy. Additionally, they have a selection of baked goods e.g. muffins, scones in case you want a sweet treat. There are two very unique features that distinguishes this coffee shop from others. Lining some of the shelves are locally made goods that had my paws itching to try. The cutest soy candles, shea butter, local blends of coffee and other knick knacks. If that doesn't draw you in, that bookshelf all the way at the back has a "leave a book, take a book" situation happening which is a fellow bibliophiliac's dream. All in all, this is worth checking out at least once! I'm not entirely sure if they have wifi. Also, there is free street parking right out in front and along the road.

    I was really happy to discover this coffee shop in the Old Kingston Road area…read more The shop itself has a beautiful interior, making it a great place to work, relax or catch up with a friend. Service was quick and friendly, and there were plenty of interesting drink options to choose from. On this visit, I ordered the matcha latte with coconut water and the brown sugar shaken espresso. Both were excellent. I was a bit skeptical about the matcha with coconut water, but it completely won me over. It was light, refreshing, and surprisingly well balanced, a unique twist that really worked. The brown sugar shaken espresso was equally enjoyable, with a smooth coffee flavour and just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, I don't have any complaints. Between the beautiful space, great drinks, and efficient service, this coffee shop is exactly what the area needed. I'll definitely be back and hope it becomes a neighborhood staple.
