Tealips Cafe

We were in the mood for some dessert yesterday evening, so we decided to go somewhere close by that I haven't tried before. Tealips Cafe at Highgate (Burnaby) is known for their waffles. The cafe has a nice and relaxing atmosphere with soothing background music and free wifi (kind of like an asian-style Starbucks).

For the waffles, you have a choice between their Liege Waffle or their Brussels Waffle. I asked them what the difference between the two was and this was how they described each in one word:

Liege Waffle - "crispy"

Brussels Waffle - "sweet"

We decided to ask the girl at the counter which one was more popular. She said "crispy" ... so we went with crispy! I picked the Chocolate Almond & Walnuts Liege Waffle. The waffle was covered with almonds, walnuts, chocolate chips, drizzled with chocolate sauce, and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

All in all, it was a pretty solid dessert waffle. I would recommend it to those of you looking for a spontaneous snack at a reasonable price ($5.95). I wouldn't put it on my list of gourmet indulgences, but it definitely hits the spot if you're looking for a quick dessert/snack.

If anyone has tried both the Liege and the Brussels Waffle, let me know which one you prefer!
