Perfect for sitting quietly on a sunny afternoon, especially when you're feeling down. Gourmand Waffle: Liege waffle/banana/whipped cream/caramel. The ultimate sweetness is evident from the ingredients. The waffle was light and crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside; the sweetness of the banana and caramel is mellow and rich, the pearl sugar was slightly caramelized, and the sweetness of the cream was natural and light. Every bite offered a different layer of flavor. But most importantly, it was really sweet, and sweetness is the most soul-stirring enjoyment. It was sweet enough to bring peace, allowing you to temporarily escape the world and focus on this plate of beautiful fairytale. Café au Lait (Latte): Beautifully layered, with a natural milky aroma. But what does the m

Ventured to Harvard Sq for a quick snack on a chilly fall morning. It was quite busy since it was a Saturday afternoon so people were saving seats before they ordered. I was stuck waiting for a window seat for a while but eventually I got one. I ordered the Nutella and banana waffle and added whip cream. It was warm and tasted good. I've had some fresh to made order waffles before so I couldn't tell if this was one or if it was warmed, but either way it tasted good. I got a caramel macchiato to drink which was good too. Interior is very cozy and the colors inside are very warm. I love all the natural lighting and seats by them, but if it's crowded when you come...good luck.... Overall cute date spot or a place to bring friends, but not too many cuz it is small.

Hands down the best waffles I've ever had. Perfectly crisp, Perfectly thicc, Perfectly airy—all at the same time. My personal fave is the Zinneken. It's got all the best toppings for the biggest sweet tooth. I like to add their natural maple as well, because it reminds me of the ego days where I used to fill each square with syrup, and also because it tastes heavenly. The to go boxes are also super cool and convenient, and they're always quick with it. Bless!

I went on a Tuesday night, was able to quickly order and got my waffle within the next 2-3 minutes. The space is definitely small but I got a seat very quickly. Waffle was warm, and the Nutella perfect. The prices are fair with $8.99 for a banana and Nutella waffle. It’s great for a freezing, winter day!

Great food. Loved the Liege waffle and the Mrs had the"Sin"? With bananas and chocolate. Very small place with almost zero signage. Have to see if in the window. Not sure if the joint is over or next to a train or subway, but the place shakes and rattles frequently. I would go back and try their espresso next time as well. Top notch espresso machine, but i had already done mine for the day.
