Lotus Waffle in Anaheim

Fans of Biscoff-style cookies will know what they are getting into. The Lotus Waffle comes topped with chocolate and finished with a scattering of Lotus cookie crumbs, then served with vanilla ice cream. The crumbs bring a toasty, caramelized crunch that sits nicely against the soft waffle, and the cold ice cream melts into the warm spots as you eat. There is no chocolate choice to make on this one, which makes it a quick order when you already know you want the cookie flavor. It works well as a shared dessert after a meal in the neighborhood, and it is a good fit for anyone who likes spiced, brown-sugar sweetness more than fruit. Eat it in the shop while the ice cream is still firm, since that contrast is a big part of the appeal.
