Indulge in guilt-free desserts after dark with Kiss the Berry’s new Up Late menu

19 Oct 2017

Choosing between indulging in dessert and maintaining a summer bod is a constant mind battle. Like, sure we all try and keep active, but it's easy to undo all of that hard work with a one gluttonous dessert that more often than not involves a doughnut and/or lashings of ice-cream (and possibly vanilla cream). Well, friends, gluttony doesn't have to be the devil. Ever-popular acai joint Kiss the Berry now transforms into a dessert hang by night, launching its new Up Late menu full of sweet treats that are completely guilt free. Yep, you'll never (ever) have to question dessert again. more

12 Oct 2017

It’s no secret that we live for dining out, but we’ll also readily admit that we love the odd dinner party with friends.
