Puffles

Caleb Deng is the founder of Puffles, a South Florida–based dessert brand known for its Hong Kong style egg waffles, creamy ice cream, and bubble teas. Born and raised in New York City’s Chinatown, Caleb grew up enjoying egg waffles from street vendors, a simple but special treat he looked forward to after Chinese school. Those moments became cherished childhood...

Years later, Caleb and his brother came to South Florida as young, aspiring entrepreneurs with a shared dream of bringing a piece of their childhood to a new community. With no investors, no roadmap, and no idea what to expect, they opened their first Puffles location in Hollywood, Florida. What started as a small family venture quickly gained local buzz for its fun, eye-catching desserts and genuine hospitality.

Today, Puffles has grown into a beloved South Florida favorite, serving crowds at major events like the Miami Open, Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, and Hard Rock Stadium, and now expanding through franchising across the East Coast.

More than just a dessert shop, Puffles is a celebration of family, culture, and creativity. Through it, Caleb proudly shares his Asian American heritage, honoring the flavors and memories that shaped him while inspiring others to dream big and build something meaningful of their own.
