| - Yum! We just moved back to Charlotte and checked out this place for breakfast this morning. I didn't find it tough to find at all; actually w e decided to go after I noticed it while driving on Ardrey Kell. It's in the Cedar Walk neighborhood, close to Buffalo Wings and Rings.
The waffles were delicious and just what I had expected. We tried these delicious types of waffles while in Belgium several years ago and were excited to see them come to life in Charlotte. As others mentioned, this type of waffle is already sweet (dense dough with crystallized sugar pieces baked in) and smaller than what we consider Belgian waffles, so definitely keep that in mind while picking out your toppings unless you are looking for a dessert. If I'm not mistaken, I believe we actually ate them as dessert, fresh out of a waffle food truck, while in Brussels. I chose to top mine with the maple butter, and I was happy that the maple butter came on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. My husband had the nutella and seemed equally as impressed. The waffles arrived quickly and were piping hot.
I have to admit that I find some of the complaints about the waffles being so sweet to be a little unfair. Yes, the waffles are sweet but that's exactly what this type of waffle is. Liege waffles are completely different from their Belgian counterparts, and it's obvious that some people didn't realize what they were ordering, or expected something completely different, and judged their meal based on that. If you are looking for a typical waffle joint with the typical Americanized toppings this place probably isn't it and you would be better off going to IHOP or the Waffle House. I personally love this type of waffle and will most certainly be back!
