Creamier have cemented themselves as one of the go-to places for waffles with ice-cream. During the apex of the café hopping trend back in 2014, they managed to bowl over and win over the hearts of café hoppers as well as the contingents of lifestyle Insta-bloggers who feigned any interest in food writing. They mounted the ladder of success very quickly, spawning two more outlets as well as sister café Sunday Folks shortly afterwards. It’s all remarkable to say the least, but for such a café that has been around long enough, the inevitable question beckons – are they still as good as ever?
I’d be lying if I told you that their waffles still measure up to their former glory. The fondness for them is amplified by nostalgia of the sweet, random memories that surround it, as well as the excitement of trying it back when it was on the rise, enjoying considerable publicity. In simpler terms, it has a ton of sentimental value to it.
Yet, strangely enough and for the most part, their quality remains immutable. Their waffles remain crisp and percolate the same bready aroma as they did before. The gelato are just as creamy as I remember them to be. The style, the grace, the effortless coolness of their waffles look like they haven’t aged a day since their debut.
The reality is this - like with an entity, you will never clone a wonderful experience. From their efforts, it seems that they are aware of this phenomenon, which leads them to playing the ‘constant’ card – they keep most of their offerings the way they are and quality control hermetically tight, and as a result, those endow them with a form of timelessness. They’ve survived four years as far as I can remember, and what I’m saying is, it’s not a unrealistic to suggest that they look all set to survive four more. (7.5/10)
