WHACKY WAFFLES:
What happens when you first here the word “Whacky”?! One thinks of something that is amusing in a peculiar way or something that is offbeat, right?!! And imagine being served a waffle in an out of the ordinary way. That’s when “Whacky Waffles” should come to your mind. It is Kolkata’s first very own waffle café. It started its journey as a pop up shop in the famous Christmas Carnival of Kolkata and since then its no looking back for them.
A place, one of its kind with bizarre variety of options to go with your waffles. It’s got something for the savoury lovers and it’s got loads of options for the sweet addicted people. You ask for the flavour and they have it on a platter, ready to serve you. It just gets your taste buds tingling with every bite.
The café looks simple and sweet. They have used the colour yellow on one of the walls that adds to the quirkiness of the simple decor, giving it an informal feel to rest, relax and eat at the café. On the other wall, Paris inspired doodled wallpaper adds to the simplicity of the cafe. There are a few board games and books to while away your time. A few posters are hung on the wall that are related to the waffle history. A red scooty photo spot for the whacky selfie freaks and a board where all the customers can write their views/ opinions or anything they feel.
Talking about waffles, the one which is my favourite of the lot, is the “Cream & Caramel Crunch”. It’s a perfect blend of sweetness and nuttiness. The waffle is light and fluffy which is served with a heavy doze of fresh cream and caramel sauce, and sprinkled with sufficient nuts to get an even crunchy bite, whenever you bite into it. The waffle goes well with a mint cooler, something light and less sweet. Its on you how you place your order to balance out the taste well. Even for the coffee lovers, there is the “Tiramisu Waffle” which is served with a coffee flavor cream cheese on the side.
The most unique item in their menu is the “Waffle Pizza”. When you’re confused what to eat at the café then it is one of the best things to order. It’s a meal to itself. A waffle base and all the basic toppings a pizza can have- cheese, bell peppers, onions, chicken etc. They have a variety to choose from with good flavours of chilli flakes and oregano sprinkled on top. A great concept and something worth a try.
There are loads of options to choose from like the Nutella Monkey, The Five Spice, Oreo Monster, Waffle Sandwich, Maple Chicken Waffle, to name a few. As you enter the café, in whatsoever mood, just order any waffle to satisfy your taste buds and it will bid you adieu with a happy smile. :)
