So Safeway is trying to make the waffle-nut a thing--a cross between a waffle and a donut. The texture was a little weird, somewhere between cake and waffle but it was too chewy. And the glaze plus chocolate glaze had this odd metallic aftertaste that pretty much overpowered the sugar rush you are gonna get from the thick layer on top. And in total honesty here, I did warm it up some and add a little butter to it, because you know it is a waffle of sorts, but even that couldn't overcome the taste and texture shortcomings. Oh well, nice try Safeway, please stick to cinnamon buns like you make at the at Church and Market. And why can't every store make them like that and why can't my local Safeway in SOMA actually carry some. OMG I have so many questions. SUGAR RUSH!!!
