The best ffles I ever had in south africa. The high quality of ingredients s made with it. The design of the store is awesome. Friendly staff. Large selection of different types of Belgium ffles. Highly recommended. You can find them at cape Town terfront and Johannesburg Eastgate mall.

One guy serving 12 customers is quite difficult... And I honestly feel for this man needing to run the crepes, ffles, serving and being cashier while taking orders. So I just nted to say that the man staffing your stall on youth day in the evening is doing a wonderful job with the long queue in helping everyone.

Guy not the friendliest and these are not Belgium ffles. Belgium ffles are made with an actual ffle doe and not a liquid. Also looks like he is burning the ffles. Won’t get it again
