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!!!

Actually I like the maple ones that're drizzled, rather than pasted with frosting. They do need to be warmed, with butter IMO. Definitely no "metallic aftertaste". Yeah the texture was weird to me but that's why I like it - it's not like anything else - they're also more satisfying than a donut, for me, Probably a bad thing, probably means more calories . :-P And yes, they need cinnamon! ;-)
