The waffles dough is subtle and you can have a lot of choices: sugar, hot chocolate with whipped cream, caramel with salted butter etc. And one of the best advantages of these waffles: its price! Only 2.80€ for 2 waffles! You will not find this quality of waffles with this price anywhere else in Paris!
