Many years ago, in a small and young town called Mangalore, the Ideal Ice Cream Parlour or the newly opened Café Coffee Day were the only two places that offered cool, fashionable and easy on the pocket options if you were looking to spend some quality time with friends. Over the years, many new options and formats have emerged, but the charm of sharing a great dessert has no match.
The Wafflist, a new café now open in Bandra and Fort, is a haven for those with a sweet tooth, serving multiple dessert options that are both fun and innovative. As the name suggests, most dishes have a waffle base with delectable toppings to keep you coming back for more. I got a chance to visit and review their store at Fort, which is located a short walk from the iconic Starbucks at the Horniman Circle, on the way to the BSE Building. This place should appeal to vegetarians too, as all waffles are Eggless.

The waffles are made right in front of you at a large work station, which is a good touch as it brings a fast food feel to the place. There is a small table for 6 on the ground floor, with a large seating section on the first floor. The light is quite interesting, with large incandescent bulbs emitting a soft glow.

Then arrived the Nutty Buddy, a serving of Chocolate Syrup, Nutella over Banana Waffle. I somehow felt that the banana and waffle combination was a bit too sweet owing to the base, especially without any whipped cream or ice cream to balance the flavors.

The Kit Kat Shake was delicious – thick, not too sweet and quite refreshing. The Mint and Chocolate Shot was interesting – but a bit too heavy for my palette.

My overall experience was above average, given the range on offer, but I sorely missed a softer version of the waffle (may be due to the lack of eggs in the base). I also missed a good whipped cream that could add levels to the flavors.
