My friend & I tried: -Smashed avocado BRUSSELS savoury waffle (4/5) really enjoyed the taste of the cheese infused crispy, airy, but melt-in-your-mouth waffle on its own. I wished there were 2 poached eggs rather than just the 1. I'd also rather the salad and avocado on the side instead. -Ham & Cheese LIÈGE stuffed waffle (3.5/5) the waffle itself wasn't too impressive, liked the stuffing though -Pistachio & Vanilla custard mini LIÈGE waffles (2.5/5) again, the waffle texture was unimpressive, dense & softer, not crispy. Vanilla custard was nice and you can see vanilla bean flecks. Pistachio flavour was ok Overall, I would come back just for their BRUSSELS waffle and during brunch time as they have the Benedict option!

It's much smaller than the other location, especially in the kitchen, but very quaint! The server/cashier/barista/chef was very kind. This location must be a tough one to work at - I hope they're paid accordingly! She was a one-woman show, and she was doing a fantastic job at handling the many tasks. (We visited about 4:30 on Saturday on Oct 25) They were great lattes, even some latte art! We went all-out on this visit. I had a Banella Brûlée, absolutely perfect. Everything is a bit sweet but that's what you're looking for when you order an ice cream waffle, right?! The Oreo was also a great choice. The tables are a bit small, but it's manageable. If it was full, I may be a bit claustrophobic but I think it's fine if there's some room. Overall, highly recommend for a latte or a sweet treat. They have some seasonal mini leige waffles if you're looking for something on the go!

They have a bunch of savory and sweet options, at decent prices, it was hard to decide! I ultimately landed on getting the Elvis - bananas, peanut butter, honey and bacon with whipped cream. It was pretty good but entirely too much whipped cream, had to scrape some off. Got a coffee with my waffle, nothing special - it was freshly made from a coffee maker. From a service perspective they do disclose that they make everything fresh to order so patience is key... I had to be extra patient because I think I waited about 40 minutes for my order to come out . It did seem like orders after mine came out much faster so maybe I was just unlucky on timing.

There is a decent selection of both savoury and sweet waffles to choose from and they absolutely LOAD up your big waffle with the fillings/toppings! Definitely a novelty sort of food that you don't get anywhere else around here and delicious to boot. Would absolutely recommend trying at least once, and I would say it is a go-to spot if you're fancying a waffle meal!

Their restaurant is not too big so wouldn't recommend it for a big group. My friend and I both got their crispy chicken crepe - hers was tapioca (gluten free) and mine was traditional crepe. Both were soo good! The tapioca one had a different texture - it was a bit more chewy. Not a bad option if you are gluten free! We also got their nutellacino which was basically a nutella cappuccino! It was definitely as good as it tasted. Their menu was a lot different than the last time I came here (around 3 yrs ago) and I really liked all the new items they introduced. I would definitely consider this place again when I'm looking for a good brunch spot! Also their service was really fast! And they had a coat rack too :)

We recently took a day trip to Vancouver for a free Pokemon Go event ... go Team Instinct :). I…read moreused to play Pokemon Go quite religiously but eventually that tapered off, so the event was a fun way to get reacquainted with the game. After walking around for a couple of hours, trying to entice various pokemon creatures into our traps (wait! is that vegan?!), one definitely tends to work up an appetite and this is where the star of our show comes in, WaffleLand Café ! A mere 10 minute walk from the Vancouver Harbour, walking into WaffleLand feels a bit like walking into a culinary pitstop on the way to Disneyland, a feeling that is no accident, completely by design. If you're a Disney addict like me, just having that theming is enough to serve as a subtle transport to a magical (some might say ..the *most* magical) place on Earth! There's just something about the whimsical nature of the storefront and within, coupled with little detailed touches that just serve to tie everything together. Honestly, I could end this post right here and I think it would still qualify as a complete write up lol but ... fat chance, I'm going to tell you about the food :), the food, the glorious food lol. Let's start by pointing out their completely separate vegan menu, I can never say enough about this gesture, it means so much to the community for so many reasons! You get to choose from a variety of waffles, most of them being sweet but not without some "sweet" (so to speak lol) savory options as well. My wife, being of the sweet persuasion, opted for the "Enchanted Forest" .. bananas, strawberries, almonds, a dallop of vegan cream and hazelnut sauce coupled with the thicker, fluffier liège style of waffle! Myself, being a savory character, I opted for the "Smoked Tofu Lover" with all my favorite things, avocado, hummus, smoked tofu, plus maple syrup and dusted with garlic sesame, coupled with a thinner, heartier norwegian style waffle. There's no wrong choices here, my friends! Plus, while I obviously had to put any low carb aspirations aside by agreeing to eat here, that doesn't mean I can't try to make smarter decisions along the way, with the fat and fiber content of my plate at least hopefully helping to slow my body's reaction to the waffle treat! We were both enamored with our respective dishes, just everything about them, the aesthetics, the flavor, the texture and super generous portion sizing! I regret that I neglected to take pictures of their drink menu as they had a great assortment of coffees, shakes, teas, cold drinks, cocktails and shots. I was really inclined to try myself an effervescent Duck Fart (I have issues, I know this....) but alas, twas not to be as the shot wasn't vegan due to Bailey's Irish Cream. So instead, I relegated myself to joining my wife in a delightfully sweet "Mickey in Waffleland", consisting of Grand Marnier, Tequila, and Tia Maria. Cheers! I love places that offer something unique, with superb character, a place with such a special charm that you're unlikely to find something similar elsewhere in your other travels and WaffleLand succeeded in hitting all of those high notes, a magical waffle experience, indeed!

Without a doubt, one of the best brunch spots I've visited in Vancouver. Highly recommended!

I chose to sit outside on the patio instead of inside at the bar to take in that Canadian Vitamin D! It was sunny and hot, but the patio had a great view and was perfect for people-watching. My server, Dursh (or something close to that), was really cool. He asked my name, made me feel welcomed, and gave solid recommendations. He even picked my drink for me, which I ended up enjoying. He suggested a Benedict dish, but I'm not a fan of runny eggs. I had already decided on the El Camino poutine and plot twist....it also came with two runny poached eggs. Even so, it was still delicious, mainly because the yolk texture wasn't an issue with the crema on the dish. That poutine was an easy 9/10. It came loaded with cheese curds, pork carnitas that weren't dry at all, bacon, pinto beans, roasted pineapple for a little sweetness, salsa, jalapeños, pickled onions, salsa verde, cilantro crema, and spinach. The herb potatoes were seasoned so well too. All in all, a great last meal in Vancouver from the food to the service (even beyond Dursh, everyone was helpful) to the patio vibe. Great spot.

I also ordered a dark chocolate covered and matcha covered waffle to go. They had the perfect texture, a tad chewy (just how we like it) with a light coating of the matcha and chocolate.
