How to choose safely

What to check before choosing dessert shops in Abuja

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

  • Confirm details

    Call or WhatsApp before visiting to verify hours, address, pricing, and availability.

  • Use recent signals

    Recent reviews, fresh photos, and active contact channels are stronger trust signals than old star ratings.

  • Report problems

    If the listing is wrong, closed, unsafe, or duplicated, use the report link so Ranked can review it.

    • Ghada S. ★★★★★ : I had dinner there several times during my one week stay in Abuja in July 2026. The service is great, everyone is very friendly. Thank you to Mohammed for the wonderful hospitality. The food is tasty, presentable and the portions are generous.
    • fina A. ★★★★★ : The ambience was really nice. The staff were nice and polite, they even helped us move tables 3 times and that allowed me get a better view of the place. Also! There’s a boutique hotel in this space too but I didn’t get to see it. Definitely next time when I visit.

    • Isaac S. ★★★★ : Great cake and pastries plug in Abj, with a number of branches around the city, the ademola Crescent branch in Wuse 2 is strategically located in the heart of town. Always reach out to place your orders ahead and do that early if you need delivery services other wise they might just be all booked.

You can get things like pancake, ice cream , waffles and pizza. Though their small ice cream is surprisingly tiny so I wld say it’s slightly pricy. I love the place and I wld recommend

    • Mercy A. ★★★★★ : I like coldstone, but one lady at this branch was absolutely rude, dismissive and even ignoring my enquiries from the start. Only for there to be a mixup with our order, because the initial flavor we wanted wasn’t available (cotton candy), and she even made side talks like we’re the ones at fault. Acting like she’s giving us free ice cream. A man who ordered before me, also had an issue with this same lady. That can’t be a coincidence.

    • Rinret D. ★★★★ : Very cute artsy vibe. I didnt take pics of my food but while there I ordered a hamburger, strawberry lemonade and a slice of chocolate cake. I also ordered some cupcakes to take home. Everything was delicious. Only not giving 5 stars cuz the day I went their coffee machine wasn't working or was getting serviced so I couldn't order coffee. They were also out of soy milk and had no other non dairy milk options- if theres a high demand for non-dairy milk they should be well stocked. Will definitely go back, i am still dreaming of that chocolate cake!
    • Adebayo R. ★★★★★ : Have been to this place now a couple of times about 6-7 times if I’m not mistaken and will always go back cause I always have great experiences with very delicious meals 👋

    • K ★★★★ : I recently visited this ice cream shop while traveling in Abuja. The staff were very nice and welcoming, and the service itself was pleasant. However, I was honestly disappointed with the portion size for the price. As a tourist, I understand prices can vary, but the cost for a very small baby cup with just one scoop felt extremely expensive. When I saw how little ice cream was in the cup, it was disappointing. The ice cream did taste good, but respectfully, I don’t feel it was worth the price. Because of that, I personally wouldn’t purchase from here again.
    • Aneeya I. ★★★★ : I arrived at Hans and Rene’s at 7:58pm, knowing the posted closing time is 8:00pm. When I got there, the store was already packed up and effectively closed. After seeing me, staff reopened the shop and told me to “quickly” place my order. When I asked why they were already closed before the stated time, I was told to just order fast. I did, but then I was informed that I could only choose from flavours that hadn’t yet been packed away. At that point, the experience felt rushed and unwelcoming, so I decided to leave without ordering. If a store closes earlier than the posted time, that should be communicated clearly. Otherwise, customers should be able to order normally up until closing time, without feeling pressured or limited. Disappointing experience.

The service was absolutely top-notch, and the desserts were simply mouth-watering, the kind that leaves you wanting more with every bite. Everything tasted so good I can’t even overemphasize it. This is actually my second time using them, and just like the first time, my guests were completely wowed. Everyone kept asking who made the desserts! Beyond the amazing taste, the presentation was also so aesthetically pleasing. Thank you for always delivering excellence!
