    This place serves Japanese waffles and soft serve ice cream. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have more soft serve flavors but ended up getting a swirl of vanilla and cereal milk. You get one free topping so I chose fruity pebbles. Put it on a regular waffle cone and it was delicious! It's a very small place, just wish they had more flavors! The employees were efficient and friendly.

    I had a savory wafu, so they don't only have sweet ones! They have bacon + cheddar, plus grilled cheese toastie. Also Kimchi but I didn't get to try that one this time! They also have seasonal flavors they rotate. It's easy to order online for pick up or even delivery if you are nearby. It's convenient if you are at another spot at east end market, and amble to place your order online and get a text message when it's ready.

    First time here came right as they opened. I've had this sweet bean in Korea in Japan and I still forgot to get it here so that'll be for next time. We did end up getting the custard and Nutella for sweet as well as the tamago for savory. The box was funny cause it said CNT at least funny to me. The cream was delicious and not overly sweet but still obviously sweet warm fresh. Everything you think you would need, the Nutella was the favorite because it's freaking Nutella and with the warm fish dough Made it even better. I personally am more of a same person so I got the tamago egg and truthfully the only thing was missing was hot sauce, but that's just personal preference for me. It was fresh hot fluffy. It was a perfect breakfast meal. I think the only drawback to a place like this is the wait time. It did take around 12 to 15 minutes which they did let me know ahead of time however that is the only drawback because delicious food I understand takes time and I'm for it so no deductions from me . I will definitely be back here again and I hope you will visit this place soon.

    Yum! There's always a huge line for Wafu at East End so we were glad to catch their truck at an event. Their Taiyaki is good -- I'm a traditionalist and like the red bean taiyaki the most, but I enjoy their savory taiyaki as well. Their soft serve texture is really creamy, without being too soft or runny. They have a special flavor of the season, so check their website for see their latest offerings.

    We stopped by for a couple of milkshakes and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were--the pandan and ube flavors were rich, creamy, and flavorful. That said, be prepared to WAIT. The shop is small, and you're only inside briefly to place your order--then you're waiting outside. There were only two orders ahead of us (one being a soft serve with toppings), but it still took about 15-20 minutes to get our shakes. With three employees working (one focused on making the fish-shaped taiyakis and the others handling orders), the pace felt a bit slower than expected. There are a few seats outside, or you can wait inside near the elevators or browse a nearby jewelry store to stay out of the heat. Despite the wait, we were pleased with our milkshakes. Just plan accordingly if you're in a rush!

    Wafu at east end market is so delicious, you have to go if you haven't already! I absolutely love their flavors, toppings, and taiyaki waffles. They offer sweet and savory options as well as taiyaki cones you can fill with custard or Nutella. My ONLY complaint is that I wish there was more variety in their ice cream flavors. I feel like every time I try to go it's always cereal milk, and while it's always a fan favorite I would love to have more options if they ever were able to expand, or maybe change it out more frequently. They do change the flavor weekly, but maybe it's just my bad luck. I've been dying for a matcha or coffee flavor to come back. You order inside the actual restaurant and then the staff will call your name and hand it to you through the window. East end has so much seating and so many different places to choose from. The outdoor seating and string lights make for such a cute vibe at night.

    I had a killer time at Wafu for their Scream 7 collaboration! The staff helped us make our own sweet and savory Taiyaki and ice cream treats. They walked us through all the steps which let me really appreciate how amazing and delicious these are! The space is cute and has a fun cozy vibe with outdoor seating. Run!!! definitely don't walk for this tasty dessert!

    Great dessert options. Location is small and there is not dine in option. Had to get the Pandan taiyaki. They are made fresh order so expect a wait. I'll definitely be back for their other soft serve and seasonal flavors.

    Really cute place! Reasonably priced you can get 3 for $13! There was a little mix up with our order being switched with another order but that's okay! Had to wait a little longer but that's okay. We had the bacon egg and cheese and we think like a custard? Both were very good, not dry, and savory! Would go back again! Can't wait to try their ice cream!

    Cute little taiyaki café, stopped by at 11am when they opened and was the first customer of the day. Staff were friendly and explained all the fillings and I ordered a taiyaki with anko filling, which took about 15 min to make. Taiyaki was crisp and fresh, waffle was sweet and the red bean filling was great, a good classic taiyaki. It's a small shop with just a counter to order, so plan on getting your order to go. If you want to eat there, there is a small bench outside where you can enjoy your taiyaki.

    Cute and tasty. This is the perfect desert spot if you're in the area. Whether you are in the mood for something warm or cold, Wafu has your back. I I'm usually in the mood for their warm custard stuffed fish waffles, and they never disappoint. My friend, as usual, let me taste their ice cream and the ice cream version was good, also.

    Tried Café Maiko in downtown Orlando and really enjoyed it. The matcha is high-quality and smooth…read more-- I got the Hojicha drink and it had a nice roasted flavor that's different from regular matcha. What stands out is how many unique and interesting options they have: pistachio foam lattes, banana pudding matcha, pumpkin spice floats, lychee spritz, melon floats, taiyaki, shaved ice, and creative soft-serve parfaits. The menu is huge with lots of fun twists. The shop has a clean, modern vibe with good seating. Service was friendly and quick. If you like matcha or want something beyond basic drinks, this is a great spot. Definitely worth checking out in downtown Orlando! Will be back to try more items

This time I got to try a seasonal item, Pistachio foam matcha latte and I was in obsessed! Their black sesame latte is also always delicious. I don't usually go 100% sugar on my drinks but this time I did and the sugar level was just the right amount to me. Front desk is friendly and they offer fast service with not too long of a wait for our drinks to be made. Inside has few seating but enough for a fast turnaround of visitors. Parking is very limited in the back, but there is street parking available.
