"Within six months of launching, The Bougie Waffle has become a full-fledged business and a dream realized. It is a testament to our work ethic, tenacity, teamwork, and, oh yes, OUR FOOD! I am proud to say that The Bougie Waffle is gaining a reputation for having fantastic, unique, beautiful, and versatile food and outstanding customer service.

 

And... we are more than that. The Bougie Waffle supports youth in addressing their immediate short-term needs while helping them discover long-term solutions and self-agency.

​

In the years to come, we will see the FIRST-EVER youth café; a safe space dedicated to and for historically underserved youth, in Minneapolis.

 

Until then, we will continue to grow our business, sell our delicious sweet & savory waffles, and be a rolling example of what happens when you replace system involvement with community care."
