Their beyond beautiful and tasty bubble waffles come in nine different flavours with options like the Bees Knees with vanilla ice cream, chocolate honeycomb and caramel sauce; the Toffee Apple with double caramel ice cream, green apple chunks and candied nuts; and the Wimbledon with vanilla ice cream, strawberries, crushed meringue, cream and chocolate sauce.

La Cremosa

This spot is bringing Italy closer to you by all means. We think you should try out their artisan Italian gelato because it is mind blowing. Honestly, the Pistachio ice cream that these guys create is enough to make you lose your mind and eat the whole tub (it happens, okay). La Cremosa even changed our mind about sorbet – we were never fans until we tried their mango and strawberry flavours… let’s just say we’re hooked!
