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.

Cafe Medi in Orpington Review

first thoughts upon arrival

On arrival we was greeted and was shown to our table as we was going in a big group of 7
the table was nice and big the table layout was nice and simple but yet effective.
there was live music in the restaurant which also added a really nice atmosphere to the place.
The waitresses / waiters was very friendly and patient and said we can order from the drink menu whilst we all decided what we was all going to order from the menu.

So my hubby ordered a bottle of house champagne which was not to bad i liked it which says alot as i am not normally one for champagne so am very pleased.They then came back and took our orders and took great care to get the order right.
We didn't have to wait too long for our food either with approx 10-15min wait which i didn't mind because it gave us time to settle at the table and engage in each others conversation.

Food

NO faults whatsoever everything was 100% spot on
The food was fresh and tasty and hot every single bite was enjoyable and delightful.
Heres what we ordered sorry if the pictures aint that great but there is some better photos,
on the cafe medi website that shows the restaurant and their food alot better

dean (pizza)

<-- I chose the margarita pizza the pizza was fresh and hot i thoroughly enjoyed it, it was very cheesy and i enjoyed every bite. it was quite filling as i couldn't eat it all so i gave 2 slices to my hubby, and a slice to our friend donny.

my friend dean choose the pepperoni pizza -->

which was very tasty he enjoyed it so much

that he had finished it all quickly i was still only half way on my pizza when he had finished his.

MY hubby choose roast lamb steak with a red wine rosemary sauce and roast potatoes.
He thoroughly enjoyed eating this dish, the lamb was quite tender and succulent the chef cooked it to perfection, the roast potatoes was rather tasty and went well with the lamb.
The sauce was reduced to the perfect consistency, the flavours were perfectly matched to the lamb and potatoes and brought the whole dish together, all the flavours worked and complimented each other.

My other friends choose the following below (pictures)

donny & kasia (carbonara)

amy (spag bol)

jude(seafood risotto)

All of my friends thoroughly enjoyed their dishes as well and were satisfied with the dishes they choose,
Not one of us had any complaints everything was right the dishes had lots of flavour the chef cooked everything to perfection, we was all very pleased with his cooking skills.
And the desert he made for my bf was yummy(Compliments to the chef)

Hospitality

The staff was very friendly, and helpful they went out their way to make sure we was happy with our food and made sure we was alright for drinks.
Also as it was my hubby’s birthday they gave him a tiramisu on the house with a candle lit.
Adrian the man who provides the live entertainment sung happy birthday and played happy birthday on his guitar this was a very nice gesture and really made the atmosphere extra special for my hubby on his birthday.

Live entertainment (sat only)

Adrian who is a guitarist and singer, makes the atmosphere in cafe medi very relaxed.
He plays the guitar and sings very well, a friendly guy who also will play and sing a song
if you request it and if its a song he can do, he played happy birthday for my hubby and sung, the whole restaurant joined it and sung happy birthday.
He also played and sung Thats a Amore

Overall verdict

we all had a very excellent evening and enjoyed the food thoroughly.

Adrian the man who sings and plays guitar added a very lovely atmosphere.
The staff at cafe medi was attentive and very friendly and polite.
cafe medi is 100% a great place to dine with friends,family,co-workers,

It is A lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere and fresh and tasty food.
The entertainment which they have on saturdays is very well suited to the restaurant,
It Adds a relaxed and happy environment to the place.
we couldn't fault the restaurant 1 bit and left feeling very happy and very full,
we will be going back again for sure as this is the best place we have been to so far.
