| - Waffalonia is a small shop, where the old Dozen Cupcakes used to be in Squirrel Hill, that serves up authentic Liege waffles. The space is tiny, enough for a prep area, cash register, and two tiny breakfast bars to eat inside on - which is interesting because I haven't really seen a good to-go method from here.
The variety of simple selections is made complicated by the menu - naming waffles after various regions of Beligum and associating toppings with them. To make things easy, you pick a waffle, and optionally spreads, ice cream, whipped cream, and fruit toppings. There is only one important option: Speculoos, a sort of graham-cracker-butter imported right out of Belgium. If a hearty smear of this on top of a warm fresh waffle doesn't turn your worst day around, you might need to see a psychiatrist.
The ice cream comes from Dave and Andy's. I've had it once and, not being the biggest ice cream fan, thought the portion way too much - but people enjoy ice cream(you presumably would if you ordered it..) will probably rejoice over this. A plain waffle costs $3, and toppings are about $1, but an unlimited-topping waffle is $6, so prices stay very reasonable. Also, be on the lookout for seasonal specials: The pumpkin waffle(with Speculoos AND pumpkin pie spread was out of this world).
