A highly anticipated cafe is opening its doors.

The Dessert Cafe in Walderslade Road, Walderslade Village, opened to customers for the first time this morning, Saturday, May 20, at 11am.

A teaser video on the cafe’s social media posted earlier this month revealed a wide selection of desserts, including milkshakes, cakes, ice cream, waffles, and cookie dough.

The video also teases savoury foods including nachos and hot dogs, as well as hot drinks.

The cafe will offer eat-in and collection.

Owner Malinder Walia started work on the cafe in March, telling KentOnline last month: “We wanted to offer the village something different which wasn't here already. There are other cafes in the village but none like this.

“We didn't want to upset anyone by being too similar to anyone else, we always tried to look at different businesses we could bring to the area.”

The mum-of-two had initially planned to open the business in mid-April but had to push back.

The cafe occupies the former Bliss Tea Rooms which had to close down last May due to rising bills.
