Wonderful savory and sweet waffle creations - 5 stars!
Tonight I caught up with The Bougie Waffle at Alloy Brewing in Coon Rapids. Everything looked so good, I truly had a hard time picking what I wanted. So I ended up getting 4 different items.
Okay...so I ordered 2 of the signature items. First, I tried "The Sweet Chick" with a sweet potato waffle, fried chicken, maple glaze, with spices, topped with a few sliced jalapenos. Wow - heavenly! I also ordered the signature "SMACKaroni" mac & cheese creation with several cheeses including Gouda. Again, a home run. Both of these dishes were a smaller size so they came together in one clamshell box. The mac & cheese functioned more as a yummy savory side. It was perfect.
I was so delighted with the flavors, I went back and I ordered 2 more foods to take home. I got the savory "Chicken Dumplin" waffle, topped off with diced scallions. It came with a side of fried rice. And last but not least, I went with a super sweet selection, "Nana's Puddin" waffle with sliced bananas, nilla wafer cookies, caramel, and whipped cream - Ya' Man! Every bite was excellent.
If you look closely at the waffles, they're more than just standard waffles. I noticed lots of detailed little ingredients and spices. They're definitely unique and the flavors are nice and balanced, not overpowering.
I don't hand out many 5 star reviews but The Bougie Waffle definitely earns it! I love, love, love the food. And I really enjoyed chatting with the owner. She was very nice and cheery, despite the chilly temps and the windy fall night. Burrr!!!
According to the owner, she recently moved up from a small vendor cart to a fully outfitted food trailer. I wish them many years of success.
Thumbs up!
