Very cute shop with great food!! The inside space has some seating, but it is a popular spot so said seating may be limited on availability. The variety of food and drink options is fantastic. Our food came out reasonably quick and tasted delicious. I did take off one star as the seating areas were a bit dirty, the price seems a bit steep for the amount of food you actually get, and one of the two waffle options seems to often be sold out which is always disappointing. Otherwise I love this place and would return!
The waffles are AMAZING and they come with different toppings for you to customize them to your tastes. The seating space is very small but if you came when it’s less busy seating down and enjoying these waffles is a must. I will definitely be back.
I had a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. It was very good, the waffle texture was perfect, crispy and chewy at the same time. The whipped cream was fluffy and not too sweet and the strawberries were yummy. I really enjoyed it. One of the two waffle options was sold out shortly after the place opened. The place is tiny with limited seating options, so consider that when going there. When I went on a Sunday the place was packed, but the staff were nice and the waffles didn't take long, which was amazing.
This location is not suitable for large groups greater than 3 people. There are narrow steps to enter a cozy almost house like feeling restaurant for breakfast. Seating is first-come first-serve so find a spot before you order if you can. The liege waffles were nice and chewy. I got one with Nutella, which had a lot of Nutella but not too much as to overpower the waffle. The waffle plates had great presentation with powdered sugar. The berries on my friend’s waffle looked very fresh. The restaurant has a nice low key vibe and a great aroma. We did not need to wait long for our waffles. I couldn’t find napkins. They also sell coffee and tea here. I would go back and perhaps get a plain waffle since I liked the waffle a lot.
A very good place for dessert. Waffles were crunchy and chewy at the same. It wasn't too sweet for me. We also ordered a Matcha Latte and it has the perfect sweetness. The space is cozy and small. Great atmosphere. The staff were super friendly as well. 10/10
Parking & Seating: If you are coming here by car, good luck finding a street parking spot, this area is always busy and difficult to get a parking spot. The restaurant is very small, the place is also very crowded, probably a small wait to get your table, grab a table if you can before you order. This place is not suitable for large groups. Service: service is very friendly and extremely fast. We wanted to try one of each liege and belgian however the Belgian was sold out at the time, also they were out of raspberries so we had to settle for the strawberries. Food/Waffles: We had 1 a custom waffle with Nutella, strawberries and ice-cream. 2 second one was from their favorite 10, called “the chocolate”. The waffles were brought to our table almost immediately, they were warm, nothing that will amaze you but delicious. We will definitely be back….. enjoy your waffle.
Food: The food presentation and taste was great. Very straight forward menu. Service: No table service. Quick service. The staff is very professional. The seating is FCFS. Atmosphere: The inside is not spacious but the ambience was great, cozy, lively, city vibe. It's right around Harvard university and gets the school crowd. Hygiene: The restroom and restaurant were very clean, tidy and smelled nice. Other: Parking is limited and is on the street.
I love the vibes of this shop! It’s smaller than I expected but super sweet! They offer water and metal utensils. The waffles are $4.90 by themselves and then you can add toppings for $1.00 or $1.25 for fruits. The waffle itself wasn’t anything special in particular. I wasn’t amazed but it was still good. The plating was also very aesthetic.
One of the go-to places for waffles in Boston! I love the waffle texture, taste and the way it blends with the flavors. One concern is the lack of flavors: broadly they offer fruit based flavors added with chocolate and icecream. As a foodie, I would expect something like pistachio, coffee, walnuts, etc. maybe they can keep them as temporary Specials? The seating area is limited, so I’d first call them in case the group is bigger than 5 folks. Rest assured, I’m addicted to their Banana Nutella Waffle with Icecream!
Delicious waffles with lots of options for toppings. I'll be going back again! It's small in the inside with limited seating, but if you find a spot it's great to eat inside.
