🐟🍦 SOMETHING SWEET IS COMING! 🍦🐟

Waba Snacks is turning the page and starting a new chapter! 💛✨

We’re excited to share that we’ll be temporarily setting up shop inside Dave’s Ice Cream! 🥹🤙

And you KNOW we couldn’t come empty-handed! 👀

🐟 Our freshly made, fish-shaped mochi taiyaki is coming with us!
🍦 AND we’re bringing you something extra special… TAIYAKI ICE CREAM CONES featuring Dave’s Ice Cream! 🤤💕

Imagine warm, freshly made taiyaki filled with scoops of creamy, delicious ice cream. Crispy on the outside, cold and creamy on the inside. Talk about a match made in dessert heaven! 😍

A new space, a sweet collaboration, and the same little family business you’ve been showing so much love to. 🫶

A HUGE MAHALO to Dave’s Ice Cream for welcoming Waba Snacks into their space! ❤️

We’re still getting everything set up, so our official start date is coming soon! Stay tuned — we can’t wait to serve you again! 🐟🍦

Same Waba love, with a little extra sweetness. 💛
