Great tasting waffles & cookies!

This shop is so cute and the food is chef’s kiss! If you’re looking for a quick sweet treat or a box lunch to go, check them out. The Happy Cristo is a perfect combination of savory and sweet and the waffle pops are just the right amount of sweet. So many options AND they have Dubai chocolate that is to die for!
