Does premium gelato help boost dessert shop success?
In short – yes! Premium quality products can help boost your dessert shop success for a number of reasons, namely by providing a product worth returning for. After all, if you receive a dessert that exceeds your taste expectations, you’re sure to become a return customer, thereby encouraging brand loyalty. What’s more, this encourages your visitors to spread the message, leave reviews and recommend your establishment to other friends, family and co-workers – if these visitors are similarly impressed by the premium quality of your produce, this begins the same domino effect and continues to increase your reach.
Additionally, product quality is inextricably associated with brand trust, meaning that a premium quality dessert can instil a sense of confidence in your dessert parlour that encourages return custom.

The rise of the dessert parlour
The humble dessert shop has taken the British high street by storm. In fact, it seems almost impossible to walk through a town or city centre without seeing one, which certainly wasn’t the case a decade ago. The dessert shop’s success has been a more recent phenomenon that has thrived thanks to mainstream restaurant’s neglect for their dessert menus. Many independent and chain restaurants treat desserts as an afterthought, and it shows: you can expect the same types of sweet treats to feature on each and every menu no matter where you dine. A generic cheesecake, a haphazardly composed sundae, and a brownie. Perhaps they’ll offer you a cheese board, if you’re lucky, although this can’t satiate the sweet tooth like a heavenly dessert can.
The dessert shop aims to bridge this gap in the market by providing dedicated outlets for sweet treats and confectionary, acting as a community hub and meeting place for those looking for an alternative to a traditional pub or restaurant. Thanks to their attention being focused on just one course, variety has flourished, allowing dessert shop owners to create unique meals that encouraged return custom. Variation in flavours and varieties catering to different dietary requirments is therefore of great importance to dessert parlour owners, which is why Joe Delucci’s is such a popular choice thanks to our broad range of flavours to suit every appetite – from classic flavours to more adventurous concoctions.
The Rise of the Dessert Parlour
Trends in Dessert shops
Although dessert shops have successfully taken advantage of a gap in the market, there is far more to their appeal…
Late Night Eating
Dessert shops, unlike traditional restaurants, are usually open until the early hours. As such, this makes them a prime destination for those who have just concluded their night out, making a welcome alternative to the typical kebab house or takeaway pizza options. They are also a fantastic option for those utilising delivery apps such as Just Eat, Deliveroo and UberEats, as they maintain their competitive edge by staying open later than other takeaway outlets.
Friends, Family and Dating Destination
Dessert shops are perfect for brief catch-ups that don’t span three courses, but are simply limited to one, making them the perfect place to meet friends and family. They also make an ideal dating destination, with sweet courses perhaps seeming more romantic than starters and main courses.
The Transformation of the High Street
Lastly, dessert shops are becoming staples on the British high street, making them somewhat reliable and familiar wherever you are. In this way, it is becoming the 2020’s version of the classic Fish and Chip shop, or Kebab House.
