Amazing treats! - Edit
I was really impressed to discover that these guys have vegan options, including chocolate sorbet which is so thick you'd think it's ice cream. They also make vegan pancakes, and have a range of other sorbets if you're not a chocaholic like me.
Pros: chocolate sorbet...
Cons: Some of the newer staff aren't quite as clued up o

Fruit sorbet good, chocolate one(s) awesome! - Edit
This is an edit of my previous review. I think there was originally some confusion with the staff over whether honey was vegan and the chocolate flavour used honey as the sweetener, but a steady stream of Leicester vegans made a difference and they changed the recipe! Now there always seems to be one vegan chocolate sorbetto, and sometimes chocolate orange or some other variant. At the moment they're also serving a coconut flavour which is very creamy and a good foil to the other, more intense flavours, but since the flavours change regularly I don't know how long that will stay a fixture in the cabinet.
Other than that, the fruit flavours are very good. I've tried strawberry, melon-blueberry, kibana (kiwi-banana), mixed red berry, fig, pineapple, blood-orange, tangerine, er... I forget the others!
The things that stopped me giving this place a 5-score were that it's not entirely vegetarian - I was told the glaze on one of the cakes is gelatine, so veggies beware. They have now started labelling the vegan options but the sorbets and ice-cream are next to each other so although each one has it's own scoop it might not be the best choice for those with a dairy allergy in terms of cross-contamination.
Pros: big range of flavours, friendly service, convenient location
Cons: Cakes/confectionery not always veg*n
