| - Finally got to try Buttermilk after passing by it for months. We arrived shortly before the lunch hour and liked the look of the place - clean and bright, modern but not too eclectic.
Ordered the 2 sweet waffles for $14 and a savory for $8. Fresh squeezed orange juice ($5), coffee ($3) and watermelon agua ($5). Placed our order at the counter, took our drinks and sat down with a numbered placard to wait.
The juice and coffee were good, but the agua was disappointing. Barely any watermelon flavour and was meh for the price.
Waffles are served on cookie sheets rather than plates. Our sweet ones came out long before our savory one.
We tried the lemon curd & goat cheese, which was a delicious combination of flavours and there was a good amount of both ingredients on the waffle. The fruit one came with raspberry cream, fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Was good, but pretty standard and could have used more berries. For the savory, we tried the Reuben and I really liked the ingredients used. The meat had the right amount of saltiness, and there was a decent amount of sauerkraut and sauce. The extra sauce for dipping was appreciated and the pickles were cold and crunchy.
The waffles themselves had a nice texture - soft and fluffy on the inside with a crisp edge. I just wish there was more flavour to them since I found them a bit bland.
Got quite busy as lunch hour hit, so I'm glad we got there early. I like that they have movie night, game night, etc. Something different is always nice.
