Waffles

Who doesn't love waffles? Growing up my mom bought the Eggo variety - plain, blueberry, multi-grain & every once in a while chocolate chip. Little did I know that there was more than Eggo's out there but with age came the discovery of the Belgian waffle. Getting maple syrup into every nook was a must!

Anyhow, I discovered this little coffee & waffle bar in LA by way of the many food blogs I peruse throughout the day... It's called Shaky Alibi (located 7401 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036). They specialize in the Belgian street waffle - the Liege waffle. It's a yeast-based dough so the finished waffle is crisper & a bit more dense than the plate size waffle we Americans are used to... The bonus? Pearl sugar integrated into the dough itself...They make the waffles to order with a sprinkling of powdered sugar but you can add one of their spreads or fruit if you'd like... I always get the waffle with crunchy speculoos spread. Speculoos spread is like a spiced cookie in a peanut butter form... I stop by Shaky Alibi with friends in tow & usually at night so I shy away from their coffee offerings (but according to my mocha fiend friend it's spot on) but I do enjoy their tea... 

So if you ever find yourself in the West Hollywood area - please check it out!
