A tasting tour of Cherry’s most popular treats, from Biscoff pancakes to Bueno milkshakes!
A visit to Cherry’s Dessert Café on Lambton Mall Road quickly becomes an exercise in choosing how indulgent you want to be. The menu leans into familiar flavours, but layers them thoughtfully with texture, temperature, and contrast, turning grab-and-go desserts into something that feels exciting.
The Lotus Biscoff mini pancakes are the clear place to start. Served warm and soft, the pancakes are coated in a smooth Biscoff sauce that brings a deep caramelized flavour with a gentle hint of spice. Crumbled Biscoff cookies scattered over top add crunch, breaking up the softness and keeping each bite from feeling too rich. These are comforting, and indulgent. It is easy to see why this option draws so much attention. It feels indulgent without crossing into excess. If you're here to try one thing, make it this one.
The Fruity Cereal Croffle brings a playful twist. A crepe pressed into a waffle shape, it has crisp edges with a softer centre, creating contrast from the first bite. Bright, crunchy fruity cereal adds texture and colour, while a light, sweet milky drizzle ties everything together without overpowering the base. The result is nostalgic and fun, with enough crunch and sweetness to keep it interesting all the way through. A lighter option if you don't feel like breaking your New Year's diet resolutions.
For those leaning fully into chocolate, the Bueno waffle delivers. The waffle provides a sturdy base, lightly crisp on the outside, and generously drizzled with chocolate sauces. Pieces of Kinder Bueno add layers of chocolate and hazelnut, with the waffle soaking up just enough sauce to soften without becoming soggy. It is rich, decadent, and the kind of option that immediately sparks ideas for additions next time, like a scoop of ice cream.
The Bueno milkshake follows the same approach. Thick, rich, and made with real ice cream, it feels more like dessert in a cup than a drink. The Bueno flavour comes through clearly, offering chocolate and hazelnut without tipping into artificial sweetness. It is filling, smooth, and satisfying, best enjoyed slowly. One too many of these and you'll send yourself into a sugar-coma.
The Strawberry Dubai cup offers contrast to the heavier chocolate-forward options. Fresh strawberries form the base, layered with chocolate sauce and pistachio cream sauce. The addition of crunchy kunafa, thin shredded phyllo dough cooked until crisp, adds texture and a subtle toasted flavour. The strawberries keep everything bright and fresh, while the pistachio cream brings depth and balance. Each spoonful offers something different, from soft to crunchy to creamy.
Beyond the menu, Cherry’s Dessert Café is clearly designed for lingering and repeat visits. Desserts are prepared in house, many assembled right in front of customers, and the space feels welcoming for families, groups, or anyone stopping in to satisfy a late night craving. Their hours of operation are extensive, making sure you can satisfy your sweet tooth all the way to 11p.m."
For anyone looking for something beyond a quick ice cream stop, Cherry’s offers a fun, indulgent experience that feels worth the visit.
