Six of us arrived at Cafe Joie around 10pm, but it was super packed and busy. A lot of young Asians were socializing in the modern, slick cafe. We had to wait a bit for a bigger table to open up. Once we ordered, we were given a cool looking buzzer.

I had the Fresh Strawberry Waffles $10.99 with strawberries, blueberries, sliced pecans, whip cream, macaron, and two scoops of strawberry ice cream. I completely forgot to tell the staff not to put in any nuts (it’s because my friend was treating me so he was ordering, while I was already seated at a table). I gave the macaron to Sheepie, and put the pecans to the side of the plate.

The waffle was super soft, which was a bit surprising. We were used to the crispy edges, so this seemed spongy. I prefer the crispy outside like the ones served at Nero Waffles.

Because of the good reviews, maybe I had high expectancy from this cafe. But I don’t think I would pay $12 for their waffles. I’d still go to Nero.
