While cupcakes and brownies are a treat to get excited about, I often find myself leaning towards a warm, delicious waffle in order to ease my cravings and satisfy my sweet tooth, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Micayla Vellai.
With the weekend coming up fast (and pleasant weather expected), it might just be a great idea to drive out and get your ‘waffle on’! Thankfully, the Mother City is buzzing with amazing spots to grab a waffle (or two). And whether you prefer sweet or savoury, there’s something out there that’s sure to tickle your fancy!
If this photo doesn’t tantalise your taste buds, I don’t know what will! I Love Waffles specialises in homemade Belgian waffles with toppings that one could only dream of! Try out their Nutella waffle or even the drool-worthy Crunchy Honeycomb waffle – the choice is yours! And if you’re keen on satisfying your sweet tooth, then grab a delicious Sundae (Bar-one anybody?) or a creamy milkshake.
