Review Tella Balls Desert Bar - North Ryde

Park at Top Ryde shopping centre, free for 3hr. Savoury crepes start from $16-$17, Kids savoury $5 to $12, Waffles $20, Signature $15 to $25, etc Nothing special with menu, price a bit expensive comparing with the size, taste is average. But presentation is good. Quiet branch, right place for chatting.

Tella Balls is one of those places you go for your chocolate dessert fix. Whether it be a shake, donut or another crazy chocolate concoction, you’ll be impressed. Essentially tella ball is a brioche style donut ball that they sell in many different flavours served solo, on a shake it with numerous other possibilities. We had the Belgian Callebaut milk choc, the original tella ball shake along with a huge crisp waffle filled with ice cream and drizzled with chocolate. They have some interesting things like the fish and chips (fried ice cream and donut chips), dessert kebab or chocolate lasagne which we had. So creative! This is certainly worth a visit - the dessert enthusiasts and kids for sure will love it.

Tella balls is a bit....meh...soft serve is decent with a good Nutella kick but mostly as an after taste but at least the serving size was generous. The famous nutella donut itself isn't all the great with lots of chewy dough and Nutella inside. At least staff were very nice and the fitout of the store itself is pretty awesome

My Angel Son cooks the crepes and knows how to make heavenly sweet treats. I had a delicious Tellashake. Thickshake with 3 scoops nuttella gelato plus a tellaball donut on the straw. Loved my first experience and will return for the bunless burger, before my sweet fruity waffles for dessert.😋🤤👌💖

The crepe was not bad, but the cleanliness of the place can be improved. Staff didn’t seem to want to be there. Chef’s stare just made me feel uncomfortable. They’re very generous on the Nutella serving though.

Really nice gourmet desserts creations definitely hits your sugar cravings... that you feel so over indulged... servings are extremely generous so they’re worth what you pay for each dish... one serving like the waffle burger can be shared by 3 adults..by the time you finish your dessert dish you feel so light headed perhaps a bit dizzy with a sugar hang over!. The waffles are made in front of you so you know they’re fresh.. The cappuccino is nice creamy but it was not hot enough for my liking & they don’t have any coffee syrup to add to your coffee if you request it.. which is a let down.. all though they have caramel syrups to drizzle over pancakes.. that’s the only reason they loose one point or I would’ve given them a 5 star.. the staff gave us tella filled donuts samples before we left to take home which made up for the coffee disappointment.. as seen in photos...very sweet donuts a chewy cinnamon/ coconut bite dounut ball with gooey filling- choc or caramel centre.. would be nice warmed & with a scoop of gelato.. take note there are no toilets here you will need to use the toilets in the shopping centre..! Brazilian hot chocolate was weak & it like making a hot cocoa at home.. Just make it at home.. Second time visiting the restaurant seemed to be under new management.. the serving was half of what was offered on our first visit much less strawberries & about half the amount of ice cream.. waffle was not hot or taste as fresh..

Their shakes are great and so are the doughnuts. Generally a good dessert place with service to match.

OMG TELLA BALLS!! 😮😍 . So much Nutella!!😍 We had a Tella Ball Slider with a Lamington Ball and also 2 Strawberry Shakes, one with Nutella Ball and one with a Gaytime Ball. A Nutella lovers heaven. For most things Nutella they've got you covered.

Tella balls is a good place for dessert on the go. <br/>A bit pricey when the quality is good but not great! Could improve customer service. <br/>Nutella was runny as it was mixed with water - not great and quite a disappointment as it should be melted.

New lotus biscoff range coming out soon at Tella Balls Top Ryde! Love love loved every single item from this range especially the Tella Ball which was so soft and pillowy, absolute heaven. I also would highly recommend the Nutella Overload Sundae which was basically like eating a bowl of chilled Ferrero Rocher - delicious.<br/><br/>If you’d like to read more of my reviews, please check out my Zomato page and visit @cynthiaeats_ on Instagram for more photos!

Another Tella balls branch that I visit while I’m around the neighbourhood and they launch the lotus biscoff series. From the lotus donut, lotus coffee latte, lotus waffle and pancake. We also got the Oreo waffle and chocolate overload sundae with Ferrero on top. If you are dessert lover this place will spoil you with all their amazing dessert.

Looks beautiful but the details were not there.<br/>- waffle was undercooked and chewy (not in a good way)<br/>- Nutella drizzle was diluted<br/>- oreos were not crushed, rather broken in half.<br/>I went after 9pm on Thursday night, so I'm not sure it's because the staff for lazy and tired or that's the standard from tella balls.

The Waffle Burger at Tella Balls Dessert Bar should really come with a warning: “Do not attempt alone!” Two large scoops of vanilla ice cream and fresh sliced strawberries and banana are sandwiched between freshly made Belgian waffles and smothered in Nutella. For these cooler winter days, the hot chocolate made with Belgian Callebaut milk chocolate is also a winner although you can never go wrong with an Original Tella Ball Shake. The Top Ryde store is located outside on the piazza level near Devlin, and is a great spot to get your Nutella dessert fix. Thewhereto

tasty sweets! we always go there late night, so everytime the place is packed with people mostly teenies. the tables and chairs are filthy. i understand that they have few staffs but cleanliness of the place would be a huge come on for customers.

If you are a Nutella fan, then you ought to visit Tella balls at least a few times in life. They have waffles, pan cakes, crepes, and various other desserts from chocolate and Nutella to be specific. We had the Oreo crepes and the Belgian pancakes... <br/><br/>Would surely love to describe the Oreo crepes to you.. imagine a scoop of ice cream 🍦 surrounded by crumbs of Oreo cookies 🍪 sprinkled over alternate layers of Nutella and white chocolate. The layers running throughout well arranged cold crepes. To add to it, imagine that these crepes also consist of Oreo crumbs and Nutella in between 😍 Blown by sheer imagination<br/><br/>Likewise, the Belgian pancakes were two pancakes layered with chocolate sauce, sprinkled with strawberries, topped with vanilla bean ice cream and some hot chocolate... <br/>

Have managed to avoid the hype of the Tella Balls for the last few years, until now. This place is a dieter's worst enemy, there is literally nothing on the menu that won't tip you over the daily recommended calories intake limit. However they are just so good, who doesn't like a donut filled with nutella & then a good milkshake to wash it all down. Perfect combo. Just have to save up the calories before you indulge, but worth it.

Met my mentee at Tella Balls for a catch up, very good location right outside Top Ryde shopping centre near the bus stop. I had the golden gaytime donut with a long black. Thought the donut didn’t taste very fresh. Long Black was ok. Table was a bit dirty

Ordered their 20 dollar big breakfast. It took a long time to arrive and when it did there was wasnt much food. The most disappointing was there was only one tiny piece of salmon and beef. Overpriced!! Taste was below average.

Awesomeballs desserts 😍 yet you really need to share these because they come in quite a big portion and taste can become too overwhelming if you kept on eating the same thing.

Milkshake and Doughnut were really good but the split banana wasn't. The chocolate at MaxBrenner is far better in my opinion. Will go for shakes and doughnut though.

The place has a lot of chocolatey options. We got a Belgian chocolate waffle and a Nutella shake. The waffle was great. But I found I didn't like the shake one bit. It had a weird taste and did not taste like Nutella at all. The place was well-maintained. I might go once again to taste some of the other things on the menu!

I got the nutella shake and I thought it would be vanilla ice cream and milk with nutella in it and blended together. It was just milk and it was not cold with nutella. Love the taste of pure nutella but would love it more if I guess its actually cold and not feel like drinking milk that’s been out of the fridge :”)

The waffles they serve is amazing. I love it! The service can be better - like they don’t set up the table for you and not care if you have the cutlery or not. Small things matter a lot. Otherwise I love the waffles! <br/>Service - 2/5<br/>Desserts - 4/5<br/>Ambience - 4/5

Dessert here wasn't too bad but prices are a bit expensive for what you get.<br/>Good lighting so is great for pictures.<br/>Service wasn't too bad.<br/>The menu doesn't seem to have changed since the chain originally opened which is a shame as it's nice to try new things sometimes.

The kids meal is good value and can feed two adults. It is $9 and for this you get a donut of your choice, deep fried donut chips and also a milkshake. Having said that, it wasn't great.<br/><br/>I chose the nutella donut which I was told is their most popular. It was very dense and not enjoyable to eat. I am not sure if they make the donuts fresh everyday or not, but I felt the reason it wasnt fluffy and airy may have been because it is stale.<br/><br/>The donut chips tasted like deep fried bread cut into sticks. It was very oily and couldn't really eat much of it.<br/><br/>The nutella milkshake was pretty good, too sweet for my liking but this is a dessert bar after all.

Stop in for dessert. We decided to have pancakes to share. Chocolate overload the pancakes were light fluffy very delicious. Death by chocolate loved it. The cappuccino was creamy and frothy abit lukewarm An enjoyable dessert Thanks guys

Tella balls feature donuts and desserts drowned in chocolate. We ordered a strawberry milkshake with a nutella donut ball and a kinder bueno waffle.<br/><br/>The milkshake tasted a little artifiical but the donut is such a treat! loved the sugar on the donut and nutella oozing out of the donut. The waffle is a bit dissappointing however. Although the vanilla gelato was very yummy, the waffle was soggy and there's too much chocolate on it, which makes it too heavy for any one to finish on their own.

✔️ Obsessed with the original Tella Balls dessert bar, so clearly I was overly excited that they just recently opened in top Ryde as it is much closer to me than the other locations. Came on a Friday night, it’s definitely not as packed as the other locations so the service was super quick. Tried a classic banana split and a chocolate milkshake. Both were nice, the banana split was refreshing but nothing special.<br/><br/>❌ I enjoyed my experience much more at the other Tella Balls. Their desserts are huge, extravagant and delicious - but here both the banana split and the milkshake were a bit disappointing, let’s just say it was certainly a dessert I could’ve gotten anywhere else. The service is also substantially better at the other locations - just overall a lot more welcoming and professional. All of the workers here are obviously new, they were shy and interacted with their customers the bare minimum.<br/><br/>UPDATE: THEY HAVE IMPROVED!!! 😍😍<br/><br/>Food: 3/5<br/>Presentation: 3/5 <br/>Service: 2.5/5 <br/>Location: 4/5

We visited a sunny Sunday arvo, the menu is fantastic, full of photos.<br/><br/>Waffle burger is an absolute monster that destroyed the both of us, we felt so defeated cos we were unable to finish it. The waffles were delicious and HuGe. You get 2 scoops of vanilla bean gelato sandwiched between two Belgian waffles with lashing of Nutella topped with strawberries and banana. The photo on the menu does not do this dish justice, when the waffle burger arrived at our table we were both shocked by how big it was, it's more of less the size of my head, id say the plate was 15cm x15cm you do the maths. It was absolutely delicious, to be honest, this would feed 2 people, if you are coming with a friend or partner, order this between 2-3 and just get some table water - believe me it will be enough, that would work out to be about $11 pp which is a pretty good deal . unless your stomach is an endless pit I would not recommend for this to be eaten by 1 person. <br/><br/>Tella fish and chips which is fried house made vanilla bean ice gelato in Panko crumb with donut chips. Sam ordered this and unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of this set, I found the ice cream flavour to have been obscured following the deep frying - it's not quite deep fried ice cream. I personally think this can be improved. The donut chips were alright upon arrival however once cooled down it was just crunchy deep fried bits which I didn't like..... However Sam really liked it, he felt the entire dish wasn't as heavy as expected and said it was refreshing after eating the waffle burger. Sam liked the tella fish and chips better than the waffle. <br/><br/>The original tella ball shake in banana with malt and almond milk was ace and a good choice cos it wasn't too heavy and good for dessert lovers. You get your choice of tella ball on top. <br/><br/>Sam was out of his mind and wanted a mocha, despite my warning of diary overload. So he was unable to provide an accurate verdict on the mocha. I think we have learned a huge lesson following our visit better to under order than over order. We also felt that there should be warning signs on the waffle burger haha. The serving is very generous and much bigger than expected. <br/><br/>So here's the rating, I liked the waffle and shake but disliked the tellafish and chips, Sam really liked the tellafish / chips... ahhh can't win. I wanted to give them a 3.5 as I quite disliked the tellafish and chips as novel as it is, Sam wanted to give them a 4.5... so we shook hands on 4/5.<br/><br/>*we were kindly invited
