| - I love waffles. I love ice cream. So I was very excited to try this place.
When I finally made my pilgrimage, I stood in front of the mix-in board and the other boards for a good two minutes, trying to make sense of things. It would have been nice if the employee standing there had greeted me and asked me if I had any questions, but no, I had to break the ice. (How do skinny hipsters work at places that serve decidedly non-skinny foods? I'll never understand this. But, I digress).
I meant to get a buttermilk waffle topped with sweet cream ice cream and with lemon and ginger swirled into the ice cream. Instead, the waffle got the lemon and ginger and the ice cream was plain. I blame this mix-up on myself, for not being clear.
The lemon and ginger in the waffle were actually nice touches. What I didn't like was the texture of the waffle. I like thick, fluffy waffles OR thin, crisp ones--these were thin but not crisp at all, not even on the parts of the waffle untouched by ice cream. I don't feel like I can judge the ice cream, since sweet cream ice cream by itself is kind of bland.
The place was bigger than it looked from the outside, with decent indoor seating in addition to the tables outdoors. There are magazines if you want to linger.
If I'm in the mood for ice cream and in the area, I might return to Oh Yeah and give other flavors--with mix-ins--a shot. I'll pass on the waffle, though.
