Treats Orpington


Hey girls and guys, I am back with a restaurant review, have not done one of these in a while.
Anyway I contacted Treats which opened in orpington and asked if I could come to review their restaurant for them, and they said yes, so me chloe and shane went there to try it out.
Treats is a desserts, ice cream parlor located in orpington, they also serve fresh cocktails.
Treats is already in talks of opening another store, and maybe more in the future.

About Treats
What Treats Have To Say
Treats was founded in 2016 and is independently owned – ensuring we maintain that homemade touch other dessert parlours often lack. We produce all of our Italian-style ice cream in-house, with a bevy of some of the finest dessert chefs in the county hand-crafting puddings on a daily basis from natural ingredients. Aside from dessert, we also conjure cocktails from our own personal bar, with a wide range of choices available for anyone who fancies a tipple or two with their food. For those concerned about dietary requirements, we provide options for anyone on a gluten free, vegetarian or vegan diet – as well as fruit for those who want to tackle the Treats menu with a slightly healthier approach. We pride ourselves on the delicious taste of our ice cream and other desserts, as well as the fact that we’re the first parlour of our kind in Orpington. We’re open morning, noon and night, so head in and sample our goods whatever the time of the day.

What We Ordered
Shane ordered waffle with hot white chocolate sauce with kinda brenu chocolates.

Chloe ordered a small frozen yogurt with strawberry sauce and strawberries.
I ordered 15 mini pancakes with hot white chocolate sauce, and ferrero rocher chocolates.

What We Thought
Shane thought his waffle was very tasty, he really loved the flavour and said the white chocolate sauce on top with the kinda brenu chocolate really added to that special touch.

Chloe thought Her yogurt was awesome but she wasn't keen on strawberry sauce.
But she said she loves treats and she wants to go back and have the waffle which daddy ate.

I thought my pancakes was nice and sweet and tasty although the white chocolate sauce I ordered with it was a bit rich for me, but would of enjoyed that more in a separate bowl if i could of dipped the pancakes into it instead of the pancakes sitting it the sauce.

Overall Verdict
Overall I am very impressed the staff was very welcoming and helpful, because we was ording chloe something and wasn't sure if she would like it the lovely manager let her have a little taster on a small spoon which was very kind of him as chloe is very fussy with food.
We didn't have to wait long for our food we only waited about 5 mins which was great.
The food itself was very tasty sweet and enjoyable I would say if you don't like things to sweet or can't eat a lot of it you can share a portion with someone as they are generous with their portion sizes which is great if you have a couple of kids because they can share.
Or if you are on a date you can share a portion with your date.

I would say though with my pancakes it was very nice but the chocolate sauce i ordered was very sweet and the pancakes was sitting in it, this is my personal preference but I think would of been better to have the white chocolate sauce in a separate bowl to dip because the sauce is quite sweet to have too much of.

Not sure what else to say, about treats other then their staff are great.
And the interior of treats is very stunning and the seats were very comfy overall we had a wonderful experience and can't wait to go back again, as I want to have the waffle next time.
And maybe some cocktails when i am feeling better and off my medication.

The Black Farmer Sausages

Hey guys and girls, I am back again hope you're all well. As some of you may or may not know it is celiac awareness month. I myself was recently sent for blood tests because they found out I had anemia from another blood test I had done previously because of knee pain I have had for 7 years. Anyway the recent bloods testing for celiac have come back negative although the nurse is sending me for further tests to see what Is wrong with me, Anyway fitting in with the theme of celiac awareness month I am reviewing some sausages from the black farmer which are gluten free.

Find out about the black farmer by clicking the link above.

My thoughts on the sausages.
I wasn't to sure what they would taste like at first with been gluten free sausages i was thinking they may taste bland, because most people say gluten free stuff can taste bland.
But i thought id give them a try anyway as it is good to try new things.

The price of the sausages are not too bad at 3.50 a pack not too bad but more than I am currently paying for sausages as I normally buy supermarkets own for a pound a pack due to having to budget to make sure my money covers all my bills etc.

The taste of the sausages were pretty nice full of flavour and tasted better than any sausage I have tried so far, I loved the taste as did my hubby and my daughter. My daughter asked if we can eat these more often as they are really yummy.
Overall Verdict
Overall I am impressed with the sausages that tasted great not to sure on the price though with the sausages being £3.50 a pack due to I normally buy food in bulk.
Saying that for the great taste, and the amount you get in a pack as well as being gluten free the price is reasonable to a certain extent, as other places would probably charge a lot more for gluten free sausages.

Me and my family really loved how the sausages were very flavoursome and tasty.
For a child who is fussy with taste and a hubby who can be picky with certain foods as well as me miss fussy food critic We really loved every bite of the sausages.

The only thing I found with them even though they was lovely tasty and juicy  felt a bit chewy in some parts but hubby said it was not chewy so probably me nitpicking to be fair I am a fussy person when it comes to food.
