The cafe said: "Have you got your hands on our brand new loaded doughnuts yet?

"If not you are really missing out. With a range of flavours and the choice of adding strawberries to any, they are the perfect treat."

But the decadence doesn't end there as the cafe offers 'super sundaes', which include its 'Kinderella' - Nutella ice cream, Kinder ice cream and hot 'kindella sauce' with a bueno biscuit, and hot deserts such as pancakes, waffles and brownies.
