Hollywood royalty just made a surprise stop in Vancouver, and this time, it wasn’t for a movie set.

Angelina Jolie was spotted at the new-ish Nero Belgian Waffle Bar in South Granville, casually dropping by like it was just another Tuesday.

According to the co-founder and owner of Nero, Eilnaz Taagholi, the Academy Award-winning actress walked in with just her driver and ordered an original Liège waffle paired with an oat cappuccino.

And she didn’t stop there.

She also grabbed a box of seven waffles, including the beloved custard-filled one that’s a local fan favorite.

Talk about knowing how to treat yourself.

For over a decade, Nero Belgian Waffle Bar has been a go-to for authentic Belgian waffles in Vancouver.

Founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife duo Jan and Eilnaz, the brand has expanded to three locations, with its latest outpost in South Granville serving as a hub for its signature mini Liège waffles and specialty coffee drinks.

This visit from one of Hollywood’s biggest stars is definitely a moment to remember.

The owners were understandably starstruck but also thrilled that Jolie showed such genuine interest in their craft.

“It was hard to believe it was her at first,” Elinaz shared.

“Who would expect Angelina Jolie to just stroll into our shop? But she was humble, sweet, and genuinely interested in how we make our waffles fresh every morning.”

Jolie, known for her roles in films like Maleficent, Girl, Interrupted, and Tomb Raider, has spent recent years balancing her Hollywood career with humanitarian work, directing, and raising her kids.

With Nero’s South Granville location already bringing a sweet touch to the neighborhood, this visit just solidifies its status as a must-visit spot.

If it’s good enough for Angelina Jolie, it’s definitely worth a stop.
