Post-pandemic eateries have had to truly excel at something to survive, and this Hastings-on-Hudson coffee shop/restaurant does just that, with some of the very best waffles in the entire state. Proffering a long fermentation process that brings out both flavor and nutrients, Wild Culture’s waffles are stuffed with delicious fillings to boot and go swimmingly with the shop’s top-tier cold brew.
