| - For a Saturday morning breakfast, I can't think of anything better. Soon after this little joint opened, a friend said to me, "You HAVE to try this new waffle place!" But I was on my way just as soon as I heard the word "waffle."
These are not, I repeat, NOT like Waffle House. They're Belgian Liege waffles. super dense, chewy -- they're made with dough instead of batter, and imbedded in the final product are crystallized sugar pearls.
Your best bet for a top-notch waffle is going at a busy time...you'll have a bit of a wait, but tasting a freshly ironed(?) waffle is worth it. At non-peak hours, expect that you'll be served a waffle that was made a few minutes ago.
They have an old-school coke machine that you put quarters in. It's a bit tricky, so take the advice of the staff and pull it out quick!! ;)
Great spot for breakfast meetings, and they offer free wi-fi. Apparently their coffee is highly regarded by the readers of Creative Loafing. It's not my favorite, but when you need something warm and delicious to wash down your waffle, it's never a bad choice.
There's a TV at the bar, so you can watch something if you're not keen on conversation. Outdoor seating is a plus, when the weather's nice. I always park in the bank parking lot and walk over. It's easier than parallel parking next to the shop.
Definitely go for the "Extra Sweet" variety with maple butter, sans the powdered sugar. Nothing gets me out of bed on a Saturday morning like the thought of that waffle.
