The newest ice cream-waffle concept shop just launched in DTLA. It features the hottest trend from Hong Kong street food, bubble waffles, and combines it with Mexican-inspired Horchata, Asian-inspired Green Tea, Bright Blue Cookie Monster, or another of their 8 ice cream flavors. The Dolly Llama is everything you want from an LA dessert shop: Instagram-worthy presentation, cool atmosphere, and an even cooler brand logo. The llama is wearing shades!
How to Order
First, you start with your choice of waffle; I chose the Bubble Waffle. It comes with your choice of 1 sauce, 2 toppings, and your choice of ice cream. Once you pick your ice cream and your sauce, the toppings is the hardest part because there's so many options!
Even if you're not an ice cream person or you want something less decadent, there's a treat for you. They have cute customizable waffle sticks and OG Belgian street-style waffles.
The Dolly Llama also offers customizable shakes from their unique ice cream menu or, if you can't decide, choose one from their signature menu.
If you happen to stop by on a cold LA day, there's 3 cocoas to warm you up: Hot-chata, Hot Vanilla, and classic Hot Chocolate. The Hot-chata caught my eye.
My Recommendations:
Bubble Waffle + Horchata Ice Cream + Condensed Milk + Cinnamon Toast Crunch + Kinder Bar + Toasted Marshmallow
Bubble Waffle + Cookie Monster Ice Cream + Condensed Milk + Fruity Pebbles + Captain Crunch + Toasted Marshmallow
Grab a friend and head to The Dolly Llama! After all, dessert is always better shared.
