Bank Street Café and Waffle House

Highlight • Cafe

Such waffles as have rarely been seen this far from their natural home. Enormous confections, draped in maple syrup, or other toppings of your choice! Big enough to share by a substantial margin. It's worth riding around here just to build up an appetite to tackle one of these bad boys.

Other food is also available, and they do a damn fine coffee.
