"⭐ Bonsoir à tous , foncez à 200 % !!!!!!!!!⭐ (Je ne prends que rarement le temps de déposer un avis sur internet mais là il le fallait .) j’ai été attiré en premier lieu par la multitude de parfums et la diversité que vous ne trouverez pas ailleurs au niveau des glaces ainsi que le reste de la carte….. La décoration avec goût pour ce nouveau bel endroit , exceptionnellement bien situé . Les crêpes sont littéralement à tomber et un prix spécial pour la beurre /sucre !

"Les gaufres liégeoises sont bonnes mais le supp chantilly bien moins généreux que du temps du cornet puis sorbet d’amour. Les toppings ne semblent pas être artisanaux mais ne sont pas mauvais."

"Service rapide malgré la longue file d'attente, beaucoup de choix de saveurs, rhum-raisin goûtait vraiment le rhum! Je comprends que l'endroit soit touristique mais les portions sont bien trop petites par rapport au prix. Dommage."

"J’ai pris une tulipe c’est le gros cornet avec 3 boules + chantilly + coulis. Avec les parfum coco, fleur d’oranger avec éclats de pistaches et banofee. Les goûts sont présents et j’ai bien aimé même le goût un peu atypique."

"Je recommande. Les serveuses/rs sont de très bonne humeur malgré la charge de travail . Il y a une multitude de choix niveaux parfum de glace et les gaufres sont faites avec une pâte liégeoise ce qui n’est pas très répandue dans les crêperies"
