Blush Café & Dessert

"Usually, I don’t leave reviews unless something is exceptionally brilliant or exceptionally bad. This experience was the latter. I tried leaving this review 0 stars but realised its not an option. This evening, I went out for dessert to Blush in Northwood with my mum, sister and our 4 beautiful young girls after a lovely meal at Izgara. As we walked up to Blush, my daughter, excited about waffles, ran in front of us to the door and went in. We followed in few seconds later only for me to find the owner having a go at my 7 year old for almost ‘breaking the door down!’ When the rest of us came in he straight away went proceeded to tell me ‘She almost broke the door down you know!’ In a rude and aggressive manner. Unfortunately, it went from bad to worse and I regret not walking out straight after walking in. Terrible service, terrible quality gelato, the worst toasties (from a previous trip - nice girl who attended to us at that time) and below average waffles. We asked for the bill and I tried to explain why I wasn’t going to pay the service charge, because the service had been poor and indeed the food was terrible. He then said to me that I had to pay it as ‘it was in the terms and conditions’. I am up for supporting small local businesses, however we shall not be returning to Blush. A word of advice to the rude little man who owns Blush - if you are going to run a customer facing business then be nice to your customers and especially their children. It seems I’m not the only one with this opinion."

"Good atmosphere and comfortable seating. Warm lighting and good decor. Their cookie dough was decent but their waffles were definitely the stars of the show. Light and airy inside, and very delicious. I ordered the Biscoff Waffles and I wanted more just because of how tasty the actual waffle was! Would definitely visit again."

"Awful experience. Really rude man running the cafe who said two of us couldn’t sit at a 4 seater table when the whole place was empty on a Monday afternoon! Two other customers also walked in and rather than leaving a space between tables he sat them right next to us. I note similar reviews of this odd behaviour. Such a shame to have this unpleasant place on my local high street. I will be telling all my local friends and family and won’t be going back."

"Fantastic experience!! I was a bit nervous going in with my pram but there was lots of room and the staff were very welcoming. Toastie, coffee and fries were all delicious. Beautiful interior and very clean."

"Really pretty decor, friendly staff and such a cosy vibe altogether. I ordered a peanut butter sundae which was delicious."
