What’s not to love about fresh hot Hong Kong waffles, made as you wait.
Definitely worth a drop in if you’re in the area for a little treat.
We stopped by here for some dessert after having dinner at a restaurant nearby. Given, that it wasn’t busy (around 9.20pm, 40 minutes before closing time), we found the atmosphere to be quite comfortable. But I can imagine how tight the space would be during the day or when there is more than 10 people inside. This store is better suited for ordering and eating outside because it seriously is small - fits about 8 stools. The most dominant colour is yellow - from the walls to most of the interior decor and furniture. You can’t help but feel happy inside! Staff are welcoming and friendly. The hot chocolate is tasty (pretty much standard) and it was nice to see a range of egg waffles on the menu. We had the “Unicorn” egg waffle (with matcha soft-serve). It was a nice dessert to share between two people.
Visited Picapika Waffles stall at Glenferrie Festival. Good egg waffle, very insta-worthy presentation, but the matcha soft serve is not of good quality.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I stumbled upon this place on Zomato as i was searching for desserts in Hawthorn. Little did i know, this little quaint cafe was Japanese so everything about it was so cute! From the yellow themed interior to the way their desserts are presented, I'm surely returning to try other things on their menu, and recommending to all my friends. The staff are very friendly, attentive and put a lot of effort into making their dessert and drinks. I couldn't be more impressed. My friend and i shared the matcha egg waffles, which was amazing! We were worried that it would be messy to eat but it was the total opposite. The waffle circles easily broke off making it even easier to share. The matcha ice cream was perfect - not too sweet, not too bitter! The Oreo, Pokka sticks and the red beans were also a good combo. I don't think i would have finished this on my own so this is a good dessert to share. I also had a matcha latte to takeaway and oh my! it was heaven. Some places either lack the matcha essence or it can be too overpowering but the matcha latte here was perfect. Don't be fooled by the tiny size of this place; you will experience a little taste of what Japan has to offer.
Cosy dessert place! Really good waffles and HK style waffles too. Can pick and choose the flavour of the waffle plus the ice cream or soft serve! Friendly staff as well.
Scrumptious egg waffles 😍
I had the matcha variety, which was nice. The egg waffle was crisp on the outside and pillowy inside, while the ice cream had a slightly bitter, not too sweet taste.
These waffles are a bit pricy at $8.80 but hey, they’re delicious so all is well. Shall return (hopefully v soon)
Cute little dessert cafe!
I've been here a few times already (photos are combined from the multiple times I've went), and I enjoy their desserts everytime I come here! Their egg waffles are cooked the way I like them and the matcha icecream has an authentic matcha taste.
The matcha espresso was interesting- a matcha drink base infused with coffee, I could taste both flavours but I think I'd prefer drinking either just matcha or just coffee.
The taiyaki (fish shaped waffle) is so cute! The waffle is also cooked well, a little crispy on the outside and it is also lined with red bean paste inside after you finish the soft serve icecream insider the fish!
A tad pricey though, but treat yoself sometimes!
Unicorn desserts have been invading social media, left, right and centre. Every time I click the location link to see where I can get my hands one these “unicones” , they always show up with American cities or somewhere in South East Asia, never Australia. Until recently PicaPika Waffles, who specialise in Hong Kong egg waffles, decided to make a Unicorn version of a Japanese dessert, Taiyaki.
Tried this super cute egg waffle yesterday, the place is really convenient just outside the station. There's not many seats so it is more of a take away type. We had two taiyakis with bubble gum and green tea soft serve. The soft serves were a bit icy, i prefer the bubble gum. The egg waffle was quite good, crispy and eggy. we chose green tea ice cream too and it was okay. Next time I'd def get vanilla so that it is creamier. Service was really good, the staffs were really friendly and patient with us.
I have only ordered waffles from here through Uber Eats, so I am not sure about how the store looks like etc. The waffles here are yummy :) I might go to the store to try sometime in the future.
