No longer just for breakfast or plated up at the 24-hour roadside diner, waffles as dessert and/or all-day snack are coming to Ann Arbor. The Wafel Shop is set to open at 113 E. Liberty St. by the Christmas holiday, says owner Noah Goldsmith.
On the menu will be the De Liege waffle, with chunks of Belgian pearl sugar that caramelizes when cooked, and the traditional Belgian waffle. They'll suit a variety of tastes: Gluten-free, chocolate-dipped, fruit, nuts, savory toppings. Goldsmith sold his waffles through a pop-up counter at Zingerman's Coffee Company last summer.
Goldsmith and his partner will actively manage the eatery, and "We're probably looking to hire an additional five people," he says.
