At Puffles, we’re dedicated to bringing the authentic taste of Hong Kong egg waffles to the South Florida community with a modern twist. We’re not just introducing one of Hong Kong’s most beloved street snacks to food enthusiasts in the States, but we’re also infusing it with our unique flair.
Our Hong Kong egg waffles, also known as “Gai Dan Jai,” offer a delightful combination of crispy exteriors and soft, sweet interiors. You have the freedom to customize your waffle cone with a wide selection of ice cream flavors and toppings, ensuring a personalized treat every time.
To complement our signature waffles, we also offer freshly made bubble tea, prepared to order using only the finest ingredients sourced from Taiwan. Our commitment to quality is evident in every sip, as we brew our teas daily using loose tea leaves to extract maximum flavor.
Our tapioca pearls are cooked in-house throughout the day to maintain their quality and texture, offering a chewy consistency and a hint of honey sweetness. With a shelf life of only four hours, we ensure that each pearl enhances your beverage with an elevated drinking experience.
At Puffles, we offer various beverage options including milk tea, fruit teas, and slushes, paired with toppings such as tapioca pearls, popping bubbles, and various jellies. With our wide range of choices, we’re confident you’ll find the perfect bubble tea drink to satisfy your cravings.
Join us at Puffles and embark on a delicious journey where every bite and sip brings joy and satisfaction!

Specify: During the first six months to a year of opening a business, the owner or operator should be hands-on and oversee daily operations. Once the groundwork is laid and staff are trained, you can hire a manager or operator to run the operation. However, we've observed that when ownership or management isn't directly involved, the quality and operation tend to suffer. This setup works well when there's a motivated manager in place who follows the company's guidelines and protocols diligently.
