Dai un’occhiata al prezzo ridicolo di questi waffle e pancake per la trappola turistica.

Why is the water 21% VAT lol

The entire thing is crazy, what?

Loving that what basically amounts to a banana if you are lucky is 6 euros 😂 did they bend you over the table and take you roughly from behind 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s a banana Michael, what could it cost? 6€?

They should change their name from t-w-f to w-t-f (or maybe f-t-w for them). 1,2/5 on tripadvisor! [tripadvisor.fr](https://www.tripadvisor.fr/Restaurant_Review-g188664-d25554696-Reviews-The_Waffle_Factory_Korte_Munt-East_Flanders_Province_Flanders.html?m=17457)

wtf that’s criminal

Wafel/pannenkoek, met aardbeien erbij, met banaan erbij, met een bol vanille erbij, met chocolade erbij, met slagroom erbij. Klinkt als een combo van 4 desserts

Ala daar Donkere chocolade, aardbei en banaan in het Nederlands staat waarom is de suiker dan in het engels? Dit stoort m8j onredelijk veel

They better gave them 2 full cartons of strawberries and 2 full bunches of bananas

I mean WF is very infamous. I think they got like 1 star on Google maps or something. Actual scammers

Kom jij maar nèt met je zakgeld buiten of zo?
