We went to Just Love at about 11:45 on a Thursday morning. It was not very crowded, which I had…read moreexpected. It is in a little strip mall and has a drive-through. There is plenty of parking in the mall's lot. There is handicap parking, but it is in front of the next store down. There are a couple of picnic tables outside, as well as a couple tables. The tables are pretty close to the drive-through so if that will annoy you, avoid them. Inside is bright and cheerful, good space with plenty of tables for a crowd. A few of the tables seemed to be a little closer to each other than they needed to be, but they were fine. When we first decided to go here, we thought it was a small, independent store, but it is a franchise. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind. There are two all gender bathrooms, cute art, and merch that includes bags of their coffee. My husband had the breakfast burrito and gave it a 7 out of 10. Apparently on the website it said it came with cream cheese, but that is an error because it did come with sour cream. He said it was good, not super fancy. It was cooked in a waffle iron so it was nice and hot. In fact I think everything here is cooked in a waffle iron. He also had a mocha which was very good and chocolatey. I had Nana's cinnamon rolls (also cooked in a waffle iron. They come either with two or with four. They are fairly small so I went with four, which ended up being about one more than I could eat.. They were good. There was a good amount of cinnamon, which is important to me, and the frosting was good. They were sweet, but not overly so. They were not very gooey, but they were good so that didn't matter. I had the "Cha Cha Latte". Which was very good. We will be back.

Visited on a Saturday morning and the place was full. We were getting our coffee to go but I don't…read morethink there was an open spot if we wanted to stay. We opted for two of their signature drinks. They were good, a bit in the sweet side. They seem known for their mini cinnamon rolls which looked good but also very gooey and likely very sweet as well. They did have other breakfast options that looked good. It seemed it was more than a coffee shop but not quite a full meal spot if that makes sense. It's in a strip mall so plenty of parking and they recently put in a small patio which will be good come warmer weather. If I lived closer or am in the area I'd probably try again but likely won't go out of my way for a repeat visit.

Wonderful savory and sweet waffle creations - 5 stars!…read more Tonight I caught up with The Bougie Waffle at Alloy Brewing in Coon Rapids. Everything looked so good, I truly had a hard time picking what I wanted. So I ended up getting 4 different items. Okay...so I ordered 2 of the signature items. First, I tried "The Sweet Chick" with a sweet potato waffle, fried chicken, maple glaze, with spices, topped with a few sliced jalapenos. Wow - heavenly! I also ordered the signature "SMACKaroni" mac & cheese creation with several cheeses including Gouda. Again, a home run. Both of these dishes were a smaller size so they came together in one clamshell box. The mac & cheese functioned more as a yummy savory side. It was perfect. I was so delighted with the flavors, I went back and I ordered 2 more foods to take home. I got the savory "Chicken Dumplin" waffle, topped off with diced scallions. It came with a side of fried rice. And last but not least, I went with a super sweet selection, "Nana's Puddin" waffle with sliced bananas, nilla wafer cookies, caramel, and whipped cream - Ya' Man! Every bite was excellent. If you look closely at the waffles, they're more than just standard waffles. I noticed lots of detailed little ingredients and spices. They're definitely unique and the flavors are nice and balanced, not overpowering. I don't hand out many 5 star reviews but The Bougie Waffle definitely earns it! I love, love, love the food. And I really enjoyed chatting with the owner. She was very nice and cheery, despite the chilly temps and the windy fall night. Burrr!!! According to the owner, she recently moved up from a small vendor cart to a fully outfitted food trailer. I wish them many years of success. Thumbs up! -Maxx

Cute American/Country style restaurant…read more They have maximized seating space, so if there is a wait you will be outside or in your vehicle. They take down your number and call you when your table is available. Our server was very friendly and on top of things. We ate there for brunch - Pro tip: come early to ensure you can get their made from scratch caramel or cinnamon rolls, they sell out! It was big enough for 3-4 people to share. Our food was good and the price was great considering they make from scratch. I would gladly eat there again!

I got the Thursday special, the steak. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The steak was cooked perfectly to my liking!! For an extra fee, I got cheesy hash browns which I enjoyed just as much. Ordered 2 alcoholic drinks, which were amazing aswell. They offer some games for all ages. A very rustic, Ole timey style inside. My only quam with the place is the closing time is at 10:00 pm. They served breakfast only on the weekends aswell.

It's one…read moreof our favorite spots, and no matter how many times we go, we still get excited like kids in a candy store. This time (and every other time), I treated myself to the Strawberry Dream--a heavenly combo of fluffy waffles, fresh strawberries, and the perfect drizzle of sweetness. Hubby went for the PB Love, which was pure peanut butter bliss! Every bite was chef's kiss perfection. If you haven't been to Waffle Bar yet, what are you waiting for? It's a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Waffle bar is a small place in an uptown that doesn't have a lot is seating but good ice cream…read more Located right in Lyndale across from the world street kitchen, it has a small parking lot and a few tables inside to have your ice cream. The first thing you notice is the smell of fresh waffles. And it's lovely. They have a selection of different creations and specials that you can order from. And if you are not in the mood for nice cream, they also have some interesting drinks you can try like bubble tea and smoothies. But try the ice cream. The ice cream is creamy and delicious and the creations, while not cheap, are very tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful and will assist you if you have questions or not able to decide. We like this place for a sweet treat or a special celebration.

The Buzz is a great place to stop by for waffles and more!…read more I first discovered this cafe through a vegan friend - The Buzz has a secondary vegan waffle menu that is full of tasty options, and not limited like many breakfast places are! I have been back numerous times to try their vast menu of waffle choices and coffee. The small cafe is always bustling with visitors on the weekend - if you are looking to dine in, arrive early or be prepared to wait for a seat. I highly recommend for anyone to check out! I have never been disappointed by the quality of food and service. They even have punch cards for frequent visitors!

I tried both coffee and waffles the most recent time I came and both were tasty. I will say though their waffle menu is quite extensive - dare I say a bit overwhelming. The prices are super reasonable though (especially compared to other local shops). I would highly recommend checking it out to catch up with a friend or just hang out!

Really solid breakfast on our first visit. The biscuits and gravy full size portion was huge and…read moreine of the best we've ever had. Eggs benedict was with ham and was really solid. Meat and eggs, we got kielbasa, was good as well though we didnt care much for the american fries, they were kinda soft and needed a little more cook time as with the english muffin which could have been a little more toasty. The inside space is a lot bigger than you would assume from the ouwell. Prices are very reasonable. Plenty of parking in the lot. Service was good as well.

Not sure about nutrition but the shakes were amazing! I just think it was a little odd that for a…read morenutrition store there was nothing you could find or get straight answers about what was actually in the shakes, the nutrients or the calories. She also said there was no sugar but she added a ton of chocolate syrup and asked if we wanted whipped cream. Don't get me wrong this place was DELICIOUS, but as for nutritional value I feel like I am still in the dark so I feel like I'm unsure I would go back if I want something healthy. Usually places tell you what is in the smoothie and calories etc. The service was awesome and the girl was super nice, she just had almost no information about what we ordered which isn't her fault. I think if there was transparency about nutrition etc I'd be coming all the time. I have no idea if I just consumed 800 calories in one sitting and what I just consumed. Delicious? Yes. Nutritious? Unsure.

Coming here when visiting the mall, was a good lunch choice. I mean, I have been here before, but…read morethought it would be fun to try a different menu items. I could see that since last time I was here this location has gotten a little busier. Since this restaurant is located, next to Sustainable safari, which is a tropical style animal petting zoo. Of course when I walked up, I knew exactly what to order, and that was the strawberry crepe. It seemed to have the perfect meld of dessert and lunch rolled into one. Of course it seemed to only take like 5 minutes for my order. Considering how busy they seemed was not a bad wait. I couldn't wait to devour my crepe. What more could I ask for with sliced strawberries, and some whipped cream, and chocolate drizzled all over my wrapped up crepe. It was almost like trying a rolled up burrito, but even better, especially since it was having breakfast for lunch. I did not leave any leftovers for later. When considering going out to eat, I felt that was a good thing. I so want to go back again, and maybe try a waffle, or two. To see what the other half of the menu tastes like. Maybe have a smoothie with my meal, since that was on the menu as well.
