This Exists: Edible Coffee Cups

For coffee lovers: What’s the only thing that would make your favorite cup of espresso or macchiato better? If that cup were an edible waffle cone triple-dipped in chocolate, of course.

Alfred Coffee & Kitchen in Los Angeles recently started selling these edible waffle cups off a secret menu – customers need to say they want the “Alfred cone” to get one.

“People love them, adore them,” store manager Ashlee Lawson told USA TODAY Network. “They’re kind of like a pick-me-up, a little snack with espresso in there.”

Lawson says they sell about 50 to 70 Alfred cones a day. An espresso costs $8 and a macchiato costs $9.
