| - I remember I was sooooo excited when I saw signs of this place opening up. Being a mega fan of waffles, it was disappointing that Calgary didn't have a designated waffle cafe, UNTIL NOW.
While they definitely had a rocky start on their first few days, I felt it might've left a couple of people disappointed and quick to judge. It took them a while to find their footing, but I felt like they were successful! If there's one thing Buttermilk knows how to do, they know how to make a damn good waffle. Soft and fluffy on the inside with a crisp exterior. They have their own creations of both sweet and savoury as well as a build your own waffle, in addition to their waffle of the month. I also like the presentation of the waffles being on a baking sheet. I usually stick to the flavours that I know and love, but I tried their lemon curd and goat cheese waffle and was really surprised as to how much I enjoyed it. My favourites however are their Village waffle as well as their Fruit waffle.
The place itself is cute and trendy, with old school waffle irons and kitchen tools decorating the place. They host both movie nights on Monday, showcasing classic and popular movies, as well as a board game night on Wednesday. While I do think the board game night is great idea, I found that the movie nights were difficult for me as I was just not able to get comfortable on the hard chairs, so I've only done it once. A great thing about the events is that they're free and you're not obligated to buy a waffle if you don't want to, except I don't see why you wouldn't nor how would you be able to resist.
The only downside of this place is that I find it to be a little overpriced. It's cheaper to get 2 waffles instead of a single, so either go with a date or go super hungry. While I love fresh orange juice, $4 for a small glass of warm juice is not worth it.
Overall, I think it's a good stop for waffles and cute place for a quick meet up or date if you're in need of an idea.
