At The Secret Garden Cafe, we’ve perfected the art of creating gluten-free waffles that are just as indulgent as their traditional counterparts. Whether you’re gluten-free, vegan, or simply looking for a sweet treat, our waffles are sure to delight.
Our Secret Recipe: Gluten-Free & Vegan Waffle Batter
The magic starts with our in-house gluten-free and vegan waffle batter mix, a carefully crafted recipe made fresh daily. By making it in-house, we ensure there’s absolutely no doubt that it’s 100% gluten-free and celiac-safe, while also being ridiculously delicious. This unique blend guarantees the perfect combination of crisp edges and soft, fluffy centres, and allows us to create variations such as our chocolate waffle bases, making every bite a special treat.
Toppings to Suit Every Taste
No waffle is complete without toppings, and at The Secret Garden Cafe, we spoil you for choice. From fresh fruits to indulgent sauces, there’s something for everyone:
Fruits: Apple, banana, blueberries, strawberries
Sweet Extras: Grated chocolate (milk, white, or vegan), cinnamon sprinkles, Nutella, peanut butter
Sauces: Maple syrup, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce
Extras: Squirty cream, dairy-free ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry)
With so many options, you can customise your waffle to match your cravings.
