The emphasis at the Beverly-Fairfax newcomer Shaky Alibi Coffee Bar & Wafflerie is on the dense, latke-sized waffles from the town of Belgian town of Liège (in contrast to the larger, lighter waffles of Brussels), which arrive dusted with sugar, slathered with a variety of chocolate and caramel spreads and topped with ingredients like bananas, pecans, strawberries and whipped cream; the vibe is old-school cafe with a bright orange awning and a red-brick exterior covered with vines.
