Waffleland Cafe

Great little place for a Sunday brunch. I was able to book a reservation a few days ahead and the staff said after 1:30 is not so busy. I booked at 1:30 and was able to be seated at that time.

My friend had Peaches & Cream Waffles (sliced peaches with roasted almonds, corn flakes and once cream. She was in heaven and enjoyed tremendously. I had Nutella with Bananas & Strawberries Waffle. The waffle was light and not overly sweet and a good layer of bananas and strawberries so each bite was perfectly balanced. Both plated nicely. The Americano was very good and was pleasantly surprised-rival some of the better Italian cafes in town. My friend enjoyed her Cafe Affogato.

It was so warm outside today that being in the air conditioned restaurant was a nice getaway from the heat. The decor is so charming like you stepped into a childhood book.

Servers were friendly and nice. If I could make a suggestion: please be more aware of putting more service in like filling up the water and checking on guests. All in all, I would definitely be coming back.

Food: 3/5
The ice cream/gelato was a little icy and pricy but still tasted good.

Small but cute! Good place for a cafe date :)

We arrived at 1010 on a Tuesday, they open at 10am. The waitress was still tying on her apron - I immediately got the feeling we were gonna stay a while.

We were seated quickly and menus were dropped. About 10 mins later she came back although there was only one other party who seemed to have already ordered before we got there. We ordered, and waited. No water, no silverware. 15 mins later she came to say there was no duck, so two of our orders needed to be changed. An earlier notification would have facilitated a quicker turn time for our table but it didn't seem like anyone was in a rush for anything anyway

I ordered the Blue Sky Breakfast which was good.

The whole experience was nearly 90 mins .. seems way too long for a tiny place with limited seating.

The bathroom faucet was of interest - be sure to check that out if you stop by lol

Surprisingly high-quality waffles, both sweet and savoury, with plenty of vegan options that got us in the door.

Beautifully-designed little cafe right on Water St, but with plenty of seating. The back page of the menu lists all the vegan options, including 4 sweet and 2 savoury. I got the Smoked Tofu ($19 plus tax) on a Liege waffle (choice between Liege or Norwegian), which is the fluffier of the two. The dish came out in about 10 minutes. You get one fluffy waffle with 5 pieces of smoked tofu, avocado and hummus, with what seemed like "Everything" spices, with a side of maple syrup. I wouldn't think the syrup would go well with this combo of ingredients, but it actually did. Despite not seeming like much food, it was plenty.

I got an Americano as well ($4.75), which was pretty watery -- they need to use a lower water:espresso ratio.

Very friendly and attentive service. Prices seemed a tad high, but this is Gastown after all.

This place exceeded expectations.

Hi-diddly-ho big back-arenos! On today's food hunt, for breakfast, the fam went to Waffleland Cafe! Literally ate, slayed, the whole deal. But anyways, there weren't many people there so the service was fast. But I will warn y'all that the grub is a bit pricey, worth it though! I would personally recommend the blueberry lemonade and the more bang for Nutella Belgian waffle. It was enough fruit to the point that where you didn't feel like a biggie, but sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. It was a cute place, and I liked it overall. With much consideration and thought, I think I can officially award this joint with the Stamp of Slay!!! Soooo.. yuh. That was lit. PERIODT!

We had several of their breakfast items and they were all great. We also had latte efficient was pretty good. The service was super good and attentive. Parking can be tricky. It is a small setting so large groups will need to wait a few to get seated. The place is fairly quiet.

This place is amazing! This was our first stop when we came into Vancouver and it set our trip on such a high note. We were able to beat the rush hour and got great seats as a group. Waiters were so nice and helped with recommendations, and the whole vibe is so cute. If you're a Instagram girly this is the place to be for some cocktail brunch pics! The waffles were absolutely delicious and the cranberry mimosas were AMAZING. I LOVE this place and will be returning 100% with more friends to experience this gem of a spot

Shall I need to say this is the best place ever for waffle? Lol
After craving for waffles, I gave a shot to Waffleland Cafe. The place is cute inside and out. You feel like you are in the movies, specially with their menu and food.

Tons of options like savoury, dessert and vegan too. My favourite one was the cinnamon stick waffle with cream cheese a side! That was so yummy!!! For savoury, my favourite one was the salmon with Brie!!!! The Gastown Branch was gooodddd toooooo... Loved loved loved!!!! To harmonize the meal, of course I ordered mimosas and coffeee as well! My friend ordered the Hazelnut Hot chocolate and it was so good.

If you have any questions about the food, the waitress was amazing, she provided some good options and she was super friendly!

I hope you enjoy this place!!!

Cheers

If you love waffles, you gotta try this place. It focuses on two types of waffles - Belgian liege and Norwegian traditional heart shape.

There are both sweet and savory waffles on the menu. They are very nicely presented and look really pretty.

I really like the Elvis dish. It has banana, pb, honey and bacon. So yummy. My friends like their waffles too. Prosciutto charcuterie and s'mores.

I think the drinks are not as good. At least the mocha I had was so-so. My friends did like their matcha latte. Maybe it depends on what you order.

The place is also quite charming and pretty. Like a tea shop.

Good place to stop by for tea and brunch or snack with the girls.

I HAD NO IDEA. Literally pages of waffles. Did you know you want duck with your waffle? I didn't order it, but did have the Holy Trinity. Holy cow was it good!
Service was ok; coffee appeared to be made from instant. Not terrible but a drip/pourover/French pressAmericano/
Still, it was a delicious experience.
