Pros:
Well made egg waffles
Cons:
Takes a while to get your order
We just had lunch at a restaurant near by and decided to drop by for some dessert. Growing up in Hong Kong, the egg waffle always takes me back to my childhood. The aroma of a freshly made egg waffle is one the many joys of my childhood.
The location itself is on the smaller side. The workstation probably takes up 75% of the entire store. The last bit is for where you line up. There's a bench at the front for some seating. This is definitely a take out operation. You're not coming as a group and expecting to be seated here.
They have some cake slices here as well but when you're here, you're here for the egg waffles. They have some specialty waffles with pre-determined toppings but they also have a create your own which I really like. They have a couple of flavours of the waffle to choose from. The milk tea one was sold out and that was the one I really wanted, little disappointed there.
Basically, a waffle is $5, ice cream is $2.50 for a scoop and $4 for 2 scoops. You get a sauce for free and toppings range from 50 cents to $3. If you're not careful you can easily spend $10-15 for a waffle and ice cream. It's a bit on the pricey side for me personally, but it's probably the going rate for these kinds of things.
My biggest issue is the wait time for an order. We came when there was no one else there. Our order was started right after we made it. It still took a good ten minutes to get our waffle. I totally understand the waffles are made to order which is great, but the waffles I had as a kid were made to order and came out within 2-3 minutes. I can't imagine what the wait time would be if it was busy.
Golden Bubbles definitely brings me back to my childhood. The waffles are well done and seeing as my little ones loved it too, it's kid approved as well.
