The first Creams opened in 2008 and soon had queues stretching out of the door, and dessert heaven had arrived.

Based in Canterbury and more recently Folkestone, the Chocolate Cafe serves its desserts with delicate drizzles of chocolate and, if you’re an early riser, there’s even chocolate porridge to start your day with. There are savoury items, but to really indulge, pair some chocolates with your wine, or try chocolate coated strawberries with Prosecco. For details click here.
The puddings parlour in Railway Place, Gravesend, points out an important fact to readers of its website: stressed spelt backwards is desserts. So feel the stress ebb away as you tuck into the venue’s mouthwatering sweet treats, currently only found in Gravesend, but the company is considering opening in Maidstone too.

You’ve arrived in chocolate heaven when you step inside the doors of this place in Bluewater. Using quality cocoa beans and the best tasting chocolate the brand was started by Australian Darren whose grandad made hot chocolate from premium chocolate rather than powder. All the hot chocolates are made from real Belgian chocolate slowly melted. It also offers a selection of Cocoba signature desserts, including chocolate pizza, a new chocolate waffle menu, warm chocolate cookie dough with ice-cream and an ice cream and frozen yoghurt station.

Sometimes the old ones are the best. The first Morelli’s ice cream parlour was opened in Viking Bay in Broadstairs in 1932 and was the first to serve more than 20 flavours of ice cream. In the summer you’ll find queues out the door, enjoying the taste of the seaside and a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Find the old fashioned (but still as tasty as ever) parlour in Victoria Parade overlooking the bay, open all year round. Visit morellisgelato.com for details.
