Battle for the Best...Food Truck

Finally our first food truck!!  August 24th was National Waffle Day and Wafels & Dinges gave free waffles away to those who drew a waffle or the truck, so we did it!  The waffle truck was delicious and such a great treat for a 4pm snack.  We got 3 since - 1) nutella, 2) banana w/nutella, 3) strawberry

Rating: 
Easy to find - 5 out 5 (they tweeted 52nd btw Lex & 3rd and they were there)
Options - 4 out 5 (2 standard types of waffles w/whole bunch of toppings)
Crew - 5 out 5 (super nice & funny & took our drawings seriously)
Food - 4 out 5 (yum!)
Rate of Return - 3 out 5 (high chance if we're craving a waffle)

Battle for the Best...Treats

It was NW's birthday in B's office so they decided to go with something new since NW is a cupcake, cake, cookie, really anything sweet fanatic. We decided to surprise her with Two Little Red Hens.

Sadly they only start serving cupcakes at 11am so we opted for scones. We indulged in blueberry, chocolate, and maple/walnut scones.

They were amazing, yum!! The maple syrup walnut confection tasted like crunchy French toast. It was hard for us to keep our hands off it.

We ordered a candied ginger scone that they boys indulged in, it was a little too sweet. The fresh cranberry & almonds scone was

nice and light and wasn't too crumbly or too cakey. We didn't need toppings like cream or jam which says a lot about a pastry. We'll definitely go back to try their famous cupcakes & cake.

Sorry Alice's Tea Cup, it looks like you've got some competition. :-(
