Attended the soft opening of The Waffle Bar tonight. The grand opening is July 15th. This was originally a prep kitchen for the Liège-style Belgian waffles that Jan, Valerie and their partners prepare for hotels and restaurants around Toronto, but they decided to open it up to the public after much lobbying from the neighbourhood. People were tired of breathing the sweet aroma of waffles that they could not buy!
They carry Greg's Ice-cream like burnt marshmallow and coffee toffee, but so far only dairy-based ones(come on dairy-free chocolate!) and they make their own waffles cones in house, of course. You can also order waffle sliders with various toppings that come in cool compostable banana bowls and sugar-covered beignets. Waffles are also available in to-go packages along with a bottle of rosemary and salt infused caramel sauce.
If you can't make it to the east end, you can find them making fresh beignets and waffles at the Brick Works Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings.
