Bubbles and Brownies Dessert Lounge For Brownies In Northwood

Bubbles and Brownies is a pretty pink snack stopoff in Northwood.

The bubbles are bubble tea. The decor is pink and white, with circles and rose motifs.

The brownies are small, flat, dark brown chocolate cakes.

They also sell a small range of ice creams. Our five year old grand-daughter chose mango ice cream. I found it too sweet, with not enough mango taste. Three of us tried it and didn't finish it. But we had just had a three course meal including desserts a couple of doors along at Lomito Argentinian steak restaurant.

That didn't stop Dad from buying a brownie to take home.

Our five year old loved posing for a picture in the circular alcove. It's certainly the perfect backdrop for pretty pictures.

If you drive on to Hatch End, where I hail from, has a huge selection of moreish ice creams with great flavours. Small amount of seating. No atmosphere. Surrounded on two sides by the counters and fridges. Perfect for a quick take away and suck and slurp in, surrounded by crowds in the evenings.

 However, if you are in Northwood, night or day, and want to sit in smart surroundings, Bubbles & Brownies is pretty and peaceful. 

I asked for their business address card. On the back of it is an offer for a free bubble tea after you have had ten, marked on the back on the card.

Parking is free, currently, August 2026, after 6 pm in the small car park around the corner opposite the library.

This is the only branch. No more, yet? They have been in Northwood about 18 months.

Travel and Diet - Fruit or Brownies?

Travel and diet - that's tricky. You know what you ought to eat. You et fruit at home, then pile on the pounds every time you eat out. Do you lose weight at home but put on weight when out at a buffet or travelling?
   When I'm travelling or just out at a conference or meeting, I sometimes deliberately grab the sugary chocolates and biscuits. That's because I need energy to run for a train, talk to an audience, stay awake to catch plane, or get off the train at the right stop.
   If you want to avoid the temptation of a buffet, what can you carry in your pocket or bag? A piece of chocolate or biscuit can turn up in your bag or pocket a week later with no problem. But a bag of fruit or vegetables has turned into a nasty mush.
   However, I am mulling over my choices when travelling after reading what psychologists in Dijon, France, have discovered, that smelling fruit in advance of choosing food. The University of Bourgogne's researchers showed that having smelled fruit in the waiting room, the subjects chose fruit rather than brownies for dessert. 

This is what we eat for breakfast at home. (If we need sustaining, followed by a boiled egg, if in a hurry. Plus lots of water.)
