“Wow Wow Waffles will definitely make you say "wow wow" after that first bite!”

Reviewed as Wow Wow Waffles; owners Joe and Cameron were friendly and shared how the shop got started. Signage on 30th Street is easy to miss — look for the laundromat between Capps and Myrtle. Judged the basic powdered-sugar waffle to be excellent; lemonades come in a regular cup or a mason jar for about $8.
