The description
This product is a soft, fluffy waffle sandwich filled with smooth custard and lightly sweetened whipped cream sold at Lawson, from their Uchi Cafe range. Simple yet satisfying.
The good
Lawson has a great selection of desserts in recent years. I wouldn't put this custard and whip waffle on the top of my favorites list, but it is a decent enough waffle. Honestly, I picked it up as one of the cheaper options available as I was just looking for a small, sweet treat. Normally, I wouldn't go for a waffle, but I was also drawn to this because it is a waffle and thus something different to what I normally go for. The filling was really good. There is a nice balance between the custard and whipped cream. The waffle is soft and easy to eat. It has a nice design on the waffle too.
The not so good
I'd say people who particularly enjoy waffles will like this product. But, if like me, you aren't normally one for waffles it might be one to skip. It is nice, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. Another potential drawback is value. At over ¥170 including tax, some shoppers may expect a more substantial dessert. While tasty, it is relatively small and can be finished in only a few bites. Overall, this is a decent convenience store sweet, but its safe flavours and modest size mean it may struggle to stand out among Lawson's many other dessert offerings.
