Sweet news for Rotherham as Heavenly Desserts sets its sights on Forge Island

A new slice of indulgence is coming to Rotherham this autumn with luxury dessert restaurant Heavenly Desserts set to open its doors at Forge Island.

Known for its indulgent waffles, artisan cheesecakes and signature croffles (a croissant-waffle hybrid) Heavenly Desserts is already a firm favourite with over 60 locations across the UK.

The Rotherham branch, set to open in late October, will offer a menu of handcrafted desserts, luxurious milkshakes, alcohol free mojitos and rich, barista-made coffees. Expect everything from cookie dough to crepes served in a modern, stylish setting perfect for date nights, celebrations, or a spontaneous treat-yourself moment.

But it’s not just desserts - Heavenly Desserts will also serve a brunch menu for those after a taste of savoury as well as sweet.

Councillor John Williams, Cabinet Member for Transport, Jobs and the Local Economy at Rotherham Council, said: "We’re thrilled to welcome Heavenly Desserts to Forge Island. It’s another fantastic addition that will help make this a destination for everyone - whether you’re here for a film, a meal, or just something sweet after a day out. It’s all part of creating a town centre that’s vibrant, welcoming, and full of life."

Daoud Tahir, Franchisee at Heavenly Desserts, said: “We’re really excited to bring Heavenly Desserts to Rotherham. Forge Island is a great development, and we’re excited to be part of the family there. Our sites in Sheffield and Manchester already get visitors from Rotherham. There’s lots of demand so we thought, why not bring it to your doorstep?”

Heavenly Desserts will join Arc Cinema, Travelodge, Sygnature Dish and Vetro Lounge at Forge Island, which is fast becoming a landmark leisure destination for Rotherham and the wider region following Rotherham Council’s £47m investment.

Work is also underway on major public realm regeneration project Riverside Gardens, with a new ‘Street Safe’ team focused on increasing safety in town and village centres set to start in the autumn.
