Chocolate-dipped strawberries, creamy cheesecake and a mouth-watering mango punch are among the treats you can find at a new dessert shop in Romford.

I tried RK Coffee & Desserts - Romford Shopping Hall's newest go-to for those with a sweet tooth - and was left with more than a slight sugar rush.

With shoppers reportedly "falling in love" with the products and a five-star review already in the bag from reviewers on Google, I had high expectations for my afternoon sweet treat.

Owner Robel Kahsay did not let me down - serving up the freshest strawberries drizzled with pistachio, milk chocolate and white chocolate sauce.

In case I hadn't got enough sauce, the chocolate and pistachio made a second appearance topping the popular San Sebastián cheesecake.

This heavenly Basque cheesecake has become one of the most popular menu items since RK Coffee & Desserts opened in July, and it is something that customers keep coming back for, Robel said.

It was definitely my highlight, with a creamy yet light middle and hints of caramel.

To wash it all down, I opted for a mango punch mocktail, equally smooth and fruity.

It's safe to say I was incredibly full after, but I walked off the sugar with a trip round Romford Shopping Hall.

Next time you need a mid-shopping pit stop to refuel, I would highly recommend checking out RK Coffee & Desserts.
