Waffles N Cream

Waffles ‘N’ Cream

Located on Orr n Day and Telegraph inside Santa Fe Springs Plaza right next to Bank of America

Waffles ‘N’ Cream is a pretty neat café. The inside is decorated with a bit of an old rock n’ roll style. There’s some band posters on the wall and a thick book on famous guitarists who influenced music. The menus are posted in giant picture frames on the wall and it sort of reminds me of a donut shop with posters of ice coffee and other food pictures. With its café, street art, rock n’ roll vibe it feels like a cool teen place to hang out.

The place serves jugos bionicos (real fruit juice icee), smoothies, coffee, and an assortment of sandwiches and salads. I mostly paid attention to the dessert/drinks menu so I can’t comment on the main courses.

I ordered an Iced Coffee Toffee and it was delicious. I ordered it poured over ice instead of blended. It was very creamy and sweet.  I feel like it had the right amount of balance between coffee and toffee, I could taste both flavors. I think I ordered a small but it was a good size portion probably a little bit taller than the small size at Starbucks. Unless I ordered a medium, then it was exactly the same size as a Starbucks medium.

My dad got a lemon-lime raspada (shaved ice and fruit juice-snow cone type) which had a really strong lime flavor. It was acidic, sour, and tasty. I feel like we could have made three raspadas from that one serving.

My mother ordered a coconut raspada. Hers wasn’t as strong, I could taste the coconut but it was almost a bit watery.

I will definitely be going here again and again. This is my new Starbucks.
