Many flavours available, watermelon sorbet in the pic. A nice treat, reasonably priced when I went back in 2022 June.

I brought my partner to Sprinkles as a birthday treat. The shop's bright fuschia signage is quite the visual addition to the bustling Portswood Road. My partner ordered Belgian Chocolate Waffles, which came as a surprise for the both of us as the size of it was just short of a dinner plate. It had a soft interior that was enveloped in a crispy crust topped with fresh strawberries that he and I equally enjoyed.
As for me, I ordered the chocolate cookie dough. Again, the serving was big enough that we struggled to finish both our orders. A spoonful of the cookie along with some of the the vanilla ice cream (served in a locked jar that came as a side) gave a completely amazing experience as the contrasting textures of the warm, chewy dough, the soft, cool, silky ice cream and the chocolatety fudge sauce it was laced with mixed well in my mouth.
However, I have to admit that the sweetness was far too overwhelming. The saying goes "just because you could, doesn't mean you should," as too much sugar was added to each individual component that made up a single dessert (whether it was the fudge sauce, ice cream, or dough). In hindsight, it may seem silly to complain about overtly sweetness seeing as how we were in a dessert shop but everything I tasted here contained such a high level of sugar than what could be considered pleasurable to the palette.
Nonetheless, I found myself craving for Sprinkles for a few days after having come here. Staff were friendly and it's a great place to hang out. Although next time we visit, I'll be sharing a dessert with my partner instead.
Despite the numerous other gelato places that have popped up over the city, Sprinkles continues to be the best option, if nothing else, but on the flavours alone, which just taste more authentic than the competition.
This Portswood store has just had a renovation too, which it really needed, it now looks beautiful inside, much more classy. And yes, the attached photo was taken by me, in this store. I'm a food photographer 😊
Yummy icecreams...the best icecream place in Southampton. The waffles we tried last time was good as well. Hope they put more sauce on there next time. But it was extremely disappointing that a good dessert shop like them serves very plain and bland cream. The cream with the chocolate waffle was tasteless. A simple dash of sugar with the cream could have increased the taste of the waffles really high.
Loved it here they have indoor and outdoor seating. The menu choices are varied and wide and the cost is well worth it. I would not hesitate to eat here for a sweet treat. The staff were very helpful even when it was quite busy they still had time to deal with our request to get a seated area cleaned. Loved my dish!

Had a lovely visit here at the weekend. The friendliest staff and ever so helpful. The place was well decorated and very clean. The best sprinkles I've visited.
Great food, service was a bit slow considering there were only 2 tables, all of our order was brought out one by one. Could see deliveries also going out, but still slower than I'd expected.
Sprinkles has been one of the ultimate places to grab some a couple of scoops of icecream or just demolish 2 waffles with plenty of ice cream and a surplus of sauces. With a large variety of ice-creams and full on desserts available from their extensive menu. This is the busiest ice-cream parlour I go in.
Prices are reasonable some of desserts are a little expensive but in the end, what do you expect. You can take a seat in club 4's or a table for two and let 5 minutes roll by until your desserts are whisked to your table.. Dig in and feel the sugar rush, then shortly after the sugar wall! Haha.
There is not a huge amount of customer to worker interaction but the guy who is always in there when I go in there is always super easy to talk to and is efficient at what he does.
Feeling a bit peckish after your meal at home? Burn some calories walking to the parlour and grab yourself some ice cream. Trust me, you won't regret it... Or maybe you will after a Sundae. Enjoy!
Revisiting Sprinkles Portswood after 5 years! The toppings to waffle ratio used to be better earlier but seems to have reduced now. Yummy food, though.
My favourite place for ice creams in Southampton. Staff very friendly and helpful. Clean and spacious place.
