Total hidden gem. Never knew this place was here but we are so glad we know now. The waffles were amazing and they even have gluten free options on Friday and Saturday which is a huge win. The staff was super nice and friendly and on top of that they also have cake pops and cookies that are very good. Definitely coming back.

There is more to this place than meets the eye. They don't just make waffles, they also have sandwiches and cookies, cake pops, and a variety of other things. It's a really neat place to go and sip on a specialty coffee, hang out with friends and enjoy a little quiet and happy place. The staff are very friendly and personable. I've had their cookies, special waffles and Dubai chocolate. All so so good!

I’ve driven past this little gem so many times. Decided to try them out on Valentine’s Day for a sweet treat. Their boxed lunch is a perfect sized portion for lunch. I ordered the Happy Cristo and happy I was! The sandwich was bursting with flavor. The win for me? They could make it gluten free! My son ordered the grilled cheese and loved it more than mine haha! My son and husband both got waffle pops. There are so many delicious choices making it nearly impossible to choose. Even more reason to return and try new flavors. For those with gluten allergies like me, they have gluten free options on Fridays and Saturdays. Finally a place I can splurge with the fam. If you haven’t tried this place, don’t think twice. You won’t be disappointed.

A very cute snack, coffee, dessert place. My family went in on a Saturday morning and they had two tables of other customers. We ordered the strawberry cheesecake, campfire, and tutti fruity waffles. They were delicious. They came to our table warm. I also had a cup of their drip coffee. They were so good we placed an order to go so we could eat them at home later. We also ordered some chocolate covered strawberries. My kids ate those pretty quickly. They carry coffee beans from a local roaster, and my husband bought a bag of those. This is our new fav place for treats. And pricing wasn’t too expensive. We paid $5/$6 per waffle and for what you get on them, it’s very reasonable.

As an avid waffle lover I was super excited to see this store front open up in forest. And they did not disappoint!! The waffle pops are absolutely amazing!! We got the box of 5 flavors for $25 and we got strawberry cheesecake, lemon berry, tutti frutti, cookies and cream, and I can’t remember the name but it’s Nutella and banana with biscoff cookies. AND ABSOLUTELY ALL OF THEM WERE AMAZING!! They were perfect crunchy and fluffy waffles and the toppings were amazing. I also snagged some crème puffs and they were an absolute delight. I will definitely be returning. We ate the other waffle pops before I could get pictures but I did get the Nutella one and the crème puffs
