"I brought my partner to Sprinkles as a birthday treat. The shop 's bright fuschia signage is quite the visual addition to the bustling Portswood Road. My partner ordered Belgian Chocolate Waffles, which came as a surprise for the both of us as the size of it was just short of a dinner plate. It had a soft interior that was enveloped in a crispy crust topped with fresh strawberries that he and I equally enjoyed. As for me, I ordered the chocolate cookie dough. Again, the serving was big enough that we struggled to finish both our orders. A spoonful of the cookie along with some of the the vanilla ice cream (served in a locked jar that came as a side) gave a completely amazing experience as the contrasting textures of the warm, chewy dough, the soft, cool, silky ice cream and the chocolatety fudge sauce it was laced with mixed well in my mouth. However, I have to admit that the sweetness was far too overwhelming. The saying goes just because you could, doesn 't mean you should, as too much sugar was added to each individual component that made up a single dessert (whether it was the fudge sauce, ice cream, or dough). In hindsight, it may seem silly to complain about overtly sweetness seeing as how we were in a dessert shop but everything I tasted here contained such a high level of sugar than what could be considered pleasurable to the palette. Nonetheless, I found myself craving for Sprinkles for a few days after having come here. Staff were friendly and it 's a great place to hang out. Although next time we visit, I 'll be sharing a dessert with my partner instead."

"I would give this a miss if you are eating anything other than pizzas and even then there is a better place around the corner (Red Hot Mamma). So great it now has three branches in Warwickshire. We went to try some of their other menu items. My son and I had one of their chicken burgers and my partner tried a waffle. The chicken burgers were lukewarm and frankly did not look anything like the Instagram photos. They didn’t taste too great either. This place really does catfish you when it comes to their food. It all looks good on their social media but the reality is different. We also ordered some dirty fries and they were just cold and quite flavourless and honestly quite disgusting. The execution of this food was just lazy and uncaring. An example of a catering team that are having to do too much so they do none of it well anymore! My partners waffle was rock hard which suggested it had been pre-cooked and warmed up. Not to mention the fact you only get half a waffle! The place seems understaffed and a little grubby with dirty tables the norm. I shall not be returning as it truly is a mediocre eating experience. It did used to sell great albeit overpriced pizza but it truly has declined in quality. I think in expanding it’s menu and space it has lost it’s identity. It wants to be all thIngs to all people, a cafe, a bar, a pizzeria, a burger joint and it does not hit the mark on any of them! Just give it a miss, walk on. There are better places to eat this type of cuisine in Warwick and Warwickshire!"
