Read all 5I always find myself coming back to Halawaat — it’s honestly one of the best dessert spots ever! The atmosphere is amazing, the vibes are so welcoming, and it’s the kind of place you never want to leave. The Lotus layered dessert is my absolute favourite, and the iced white chocolate is incredible every single time. On top of that, the staff are always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. Highly recommend! 🫶🏼
Plenty of seating at the back and a good atmosphere overall. Desserts were fresh, well presented, and clearly good quality. Staff were friendly and attentive. I liked that the menu is fairly small and focused, unlike the massive menus at some other dessert places. The pistachio and khashkhash milk cakes were both the favourites.

Such a cute place for a sweet treat - I keep coming back for their biscoff creamy cake!! I love the interior design, and the team are very accommodating, with good service. Their peach iced tea is exactly what you need on a hot day. I’d recommend you to go!
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! This dessert spot in Moseley Village is an absolute gem, everything is made fresh with real attention to detail. The atmosphere is just as impressive—welcoming, cosy, and perfect for catching up with friends or just treating yourself. Staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. Easily one of the best dessert spots around and very highly recommended!
Served by Muna! Excellent hospitality. Coffee and desserts were absolutely delicious, I love the aesthetics of this cafe! Muna was so sweet and honestly she made my day with her kind gestures. Will definitely becoming back, Thank you!
