I often find myself innocently walking through the Brent Cross shopping centre when a sudden hunger hits me as a result of the smell coming from Millie's. Unfortuneately, this smell is almost overpowered by that of the nearby McDonalds. Either way, it smells absolutely delicious.

The cookies are baked to perfection - soft and somewhat gooey (in the good way). There's lots of different things in the cookies, but unfortunately, not all are nut-free (I'm allergic to nuts) but those that have nuts are clearly marked, so there can't be any mistakes.

You can also buy different types of drinks - I think you can have a milkshake made, but I'm not sure, and you can get iced frappuccino-type things, and other drinks too.

I think you can get ice cream as well, though this might be a different Millie's, perhaps someone else can confirm.

On the whole, I strongly suggest that you go to a Millie's sometime soon. You won't be disappointed.I often find myself innocently walking through the Brent Cross shopping centre when a sudden hunger hits me as a result of the smell coming from Millie's.

Flame Kebab - Good kebabs by LupusEvolve

Review by LupusEvolve

Rating: 3.00Flame is the kind of place that looks a bit shabby and like any old food place along your average high street, but the food is surprisingly good.

The kebabs are great, and the staff don't mind making a sort of custom kebab for you, if you have a hatred for any of the basic kebab ingredients (I don't like half the stuff they normally put in kebabs). Also, they're nice in that they put more of everything else to balance it out :)

The chips match up to the standard set by the kebabs and don't taste like they're so unhealthy that they're killing you on the spot. The drinks are normal drinks.

The place itself is quite small - there's no/few seats (it's changed a few times, so I don't know what it's like right now) so Flame is a takeaway really.

I would recommend it for anyone passing by who happens to be hungry, but it's not so amazing that I would go out of my way to visit Flame.Flame is the kind of place that looks a bit shabby and like any old food place along your average high street, but the food is surprisingly good.

Thorntons - Quality chocolates! by LupusEvolve

Thorntons is well-known for its excellent quality chocolates, and this small Thorntons shop is no different.

Admittedly, it is a bit too small for my liking - a bigger shop would have even more chocolate! But the shop is full of chocolates, fudge, toffee, fruit jellies, and more! You can even buy ice cream (with a choice of several flavours!)

The chocolates are mouth-wateringly delicious. My only problem is my allergy to nuts (not too severe, but there all the same) and unfortunately, the staff can't always assure me that certain chocolates are completely nut-free. But they do helpfully point out certain things that they know to be nut-free. In fact, the staff are very nice and helpful on the whole.

There are many days when I'll walk through Brent Cross and see a queue for the Thorntons ice cream that pretty much blocks everyone's path! It just goes to show how good the ice cream is as well.

Thorntons would be amazingly brilliant, if it weren't for the prices of these great sweets. A little bit cheaper and I'd never leave! But as it is, Thorntons is good for a gift for someone special, or a treat for yourself. But definitely not for everyday chocolate needs. Much too expensive for that.Thorntons is well-known for its excellent quality chocolates, and this small Thorntons shop is no different.
