In our A to Z Dessert Crawl, for some reason we skipped over the D. Some went to Dairy Queen, some went to Dreamette, but it was this fabulous new place in Ponte Vedra, the Dolly Llama, that really grabbed our attention, brushes and appetites. All they have is waffles and ice cream, but oh my, WHAT waffles and ice cream! Bubble waffles or liege waffles (made from a yeasted brioche-like dough base making them thicker and richer than regular waffles) topped with fresh fruits, candies, syrups, cookies and ice cream. Most of us went for the bubble waffles, and there is a "jr. size" which is still huge and wonderful. Laurie was the only one there to serve all 12 of us, but she never got flustered and took great pleasure in making all our chosen concoctions just right. Thank you, Laurie. This place is a real winner. I know I will be back. "Not just your traditional dessert shop, it is a destination!"
Mary brought her granddaughter, Logan, who was visiting, and we loved seeing her again and watching the next generation of artists when we can. Didn't she do a good job in her sketchbook?
And where did the Dolly Llama come from? A little history from their website that I found interesting....
"Well… she's a real llama who lives on a beautiful farm in the South of France. She brings joy to everyone she meets and had a particularly positive impact on Samuel Baroux.
"Founded by real estate leader, Eric Shomof and European restaurateur and entrepreneur, Samuel Baroux, The Dolly Llama made their dream of working together into a reality. When these childhood friends turned businessmen got together, magic happened!
"If you know your llama facts, you know that llamas are social, friendly and outgoing animals who generally love people! Dolly, the llama from Sam's favorite llama farm in the South of France, is all that and more!
"When looking to put their concept into fruition, Samuel and Eric, agreed that Dolly would be the perfect representation for their ice cream and waffle brand, bringing all that fun llama spirit into creative dessert concoctions, happy customers and great, fun vibes!
"And so, The Dolly Llama was created, and we've been lucky enough to continue to serve up endless amounts of delicious happiness, daily!
"Since its inception in 2017, The Dolly Llama has dominated LA's waffle scene with its own unique take on the Bubble Waffle, in addition to Dolly Llama Shakes, Waffle Sticks, and OG liege Waffles and continues to prove that all waffles don't need syrup."
And as we left, these 2 young men showed us just how much they enjoyed their Dolly Llama treats!
