  • Signature Specialty Jaffles

    A dedicated lineup of themed pressed jaffles, from the French and American to the English and Cubano, offers a distinct cafe experience.

    The last two times went for breakfast and tried the jaffles. Yum! Had the French both times. My dining companion had the American, then next time had the English.
