In a freaky mood
You'll find one of the freakiest shakes in town on
FC Road. This power freakshake made with chocolate buttercream, hazelnuts, almonds and then crowned with donuts, whipped cream, chocolate sauce and biscuits, will leave you both in sugary heaven. And thanks to its size, you'll both be spending some quality time together while you finish this freak shake.
Something 'coconutty'
Tender coconut ice cream topped with jelly, nuts, berries, grated tender/dry coconut and more, served in coconut shells - this one is not to be missed if your partner loves coconut. Available in various combinations at a dessert parlour in
Viman Nagar, you might want to try them all.
Waffle with a twist
Offering an unusual take on waffles, this dessert parlour on MG Road presents waffles on a stick. Doused in chocolate syrup and dotted with gems, rainbow sprinkles and a choice of other toppings, this is a great substitute to the lollipop.
Ice cream or pizza?
If you are in the mood to experiment, a dessert parlour in Viman Nagar offers what they call pizza ice cream. It features a cake base topped with layers of ice cream, jelly, sauces and cheese too, this one is available as a whole pizza or by the slice.
The smoothie pitcher
Looking for something to last through a long date? Try the red velvet smoothie pitcher available at a cafe in
Kharadi. Served in a 1.5 litre pitcher, this one comes loaded with pieces of red velvet cake and a generous topping of strawberries. And if strawberries are not your thing, you could also choose from other options like their cold coffee pitcher.
