Total hidden gem. Never knew this place was here but we're so glad we found it. The waffles were amazing and they even offer gluten free options on Friday and Saturday which is a huge plus. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly and they also have cake pops and cookies that were very good. We'll definitely be back.
