    Mixed Berry Waffle with Sausage and Eggs
    Gino W.

    While visiting family in Rochester, my niece mentioned The Waffle Factory as an option for breakfast. It's a house that has been converted into a restaurant. Because of COVID, there was outside seating. I was okay with that. The ordering was swift, but the breakfast took some time to arrive. At least I knew it wasn't microwaved and ready in under 5 minutes. Plus, the texture was not microwaved tough. I had the banana and caramel waffle with scrambled eggs. The waffle came topped with a heaping of bananas and a caramel drizzle, but underneath that the waffle had been drizzled with a glaze that reminded me of cinnamon role glaze. A friend had mixed berry waffle that didn't require syrup because of the cinnamon role glaze. My niece had the moon cakes that were topped with what looked like chocolate and Nutella. I get the hype. I do. Whenever I get back to Rochester, The Waffle Factory will definitely be an option for breakfast.

    Absolutely amazing waffles! Very unique waffle experience with a much thicker doughy batter that's delicious. Also, they have fresh squeezed orange juice! You have to try it out!

    Really delicious waffles at a cute spot in Webster! The waffles with fruit are usually loaded with fruit which I really appreciate. It is quite small inside and sometimes difficult to find a seat.

    2 stars for online ordering, 6 stars for the food. Grubhub, Venemo and PayPal didn't work as payment options and I'm petty sure AMX is not acceptable seeing as I couldn't place my order with that being my primary payment. Very frustrating and annoying process that took me 20 minutes longer then it should have. The walfels were PHENOMENAL! Light think and fluffy exactly how you would want it. Bacon was perfectly cooked and we were surprised with a sausage pattie even tho the website said they were unavailable (not a complaint). The over easy egg was excellent! Decadent tasting food and a must have!

    I ordered a Sausage Benedict waffle and it came out with bacon. I told a worker about the error and they quickly fixed it. Unfortunately the meal was still not great. Sooooo much hollandaise sauce on top it was like I got a bowl of soup, yolk was broken, and the sweet waffle didn't pair well with the rest of the food. Whipped ice coffee and the vibe of the place was great though.

    12. Apple Pie Waffle
    Brenda O.

    This place is awesome! This is the second time I've been here. The first time I ordered the cinnamon roll waffle (Delicious) and this time I got the apple pie waffle. Omg! So Good! The waffle was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It's was topped with warm apple pie filling and buttery graham cracker cookie pieces . I got a side of vanilla ice cream, it had real vanilla bean in it. I ate the ice cream with each bite I took and it was Amazing. My daughter got the Strawtella waffle with raspberries added, it was a waffle with fresh strawberries and raspberries on it then Nutella drizzled all over it. I can't wait to go back!

    This place is awesome. I ordered the below and was not disappointed. The Waffles have caramelized crisp edges and they are thick enough to pile on other flavors without getting soggy. The Home fries are crispy potato wedgies that are soft in the middle and covered in herbs. The moon pie is HUGE and thick, it's more than enough for two people. The Bacon is cooked perfectly, crispy but bendy.

    BBQ pulled pork waffle w/ an egg
    Sarah S.

    Came again and did takeout. Everything was flawless and delicious. I got the route 250 this time and even though it looked a bit plain at first, it was far from it. The cheese, plus the flavor of the waffle.... I live so close that I'm going to to be coming here way too often. And I'm going to get super fat. :( My boyfriend is 6'4" and does not fill easily. He got the pulled pork, which had so much meat that it filled him right up. Honestly, I'm just looking for excuses to come here again whenever I'm free.

    Sooo many waffle combinations to choose from ! Both my faves together on a Belgian waffle Def will be back next time I'm in town

    Benedict, Nutella and banana
    Marissa N.

    I wouldn't recommend the waffles with the savory toppings cause of the inherent sweetness of the waffle. Small location with tight quarters. It was difficult to walk through to the bathroom. If you want sweet on top of sweet and a drink of sweet it's the place to be.

    Let me just start off by saying how amazed I am by the variety....literally there are over 50 different versions to eat your waffle. It was so hard for me to choose! And it's the cutest little spot ever. I got the RASBOREO'S which had generous amounts of raspberries, strawberries, and Oreos on top of a Belgian waffle (which btw was a great size). I added vanilla ice cream and to me, that was such an amazing combo ($10 total, $2 from the ice cream). Pictures don't do it justice, but that waffle was pretty big! It didn't taste too sweet or play-dough like, which I get from some waffle spots unfortunately. But they are definitely doing it right here! My sister got a side of BACON for an additional $2.99. We did not expect anymore than 3 pieces because it be like that these days lol but we actually got a fair amount with a lot of meat (again, pics do not do it justice!). They have a crazy selection of shakes too that are pretty sweet so I recommend sharing. Doesn't feel like a complete visit without getting one to try! BOTTOM LINE is that this place is good and fairly priced for the amount you're getting. I love the set up here where you pay first, then get seated once there's a table open. It makes it so much more efficient! It's not too big but holds plentiful of tables. I went close to an hour after they opened, which beat the crowd and I only waited an overall 10 minutes after ordering!

    Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
    Samantha C.

    45 minutes to get a waffle, very small and uncomfortable quarters, loud teenagers. I was really excited to come here thinking that maybe they'd made some improvements since the last time I came right after they opened. I'm sorry to say nothing has changed. But the food is good. The waffles are very sweet and filling and they have a variety of sweet and savory toppings to choose from. I got the Benedict waffle. The hollandaise is delicious and homemade and eggs were cooked perfectly. The ham is very thinly sliced and would be nice if it was a bit meatier. The fresh squeeze orange juice is great. I'd like to try different waffles but I won't stuff myself into that crammed building. Good thing they're on Grubhub! Probably why our order took 45 minutes.

    Gluten free options?

    Sorry Norm. I don't know

    Are you able to get any besides waffles here? Going here with friends for a dinner in a couple of weeks and I don't eat waffles lol?

We DoorDashed the order and the food came nicely prepared and packaged with order labels and our names written on top of the lids. Pleasantly surprised to discover that Shaloka is a food court stand in Eastview Mall. The quality of their bowls exceeded my expectations of typical food court food. What sets Shaloka apart from Tai Chi is their fruit bowls (Açai and Pitaya/Dragonfruit) and also their Signature Bowls. The fruit bowls are super refreshing and are akin to a smoothie in a spoon and bowl format. Their Signature Bowls also take the guesswork out of it. They are recipes that have already been tested. They are still customizable and you can even build your own like at Tai Chi if you wanted to. I got their Signature Hawaiian Classic bowl and it was delicious. Ahi tuna, salmon, avocado...enough said. It was yummy and I actually really loved their brown rice. It was short grain and had some good texture. Overall, it's the best poke i've had in Rochester, which isn't saying too much because there aren't too many other options. But still, the bowls are well-composed and feel more like a whole dish than a bunch of toppings thrown on top of rice.

I tried the 16 oz Khaleesi bowl that was very delicious and equally filling. A little pricey, my 16 oz speciality bowl after tax came to $14, but worth it in my opinion. You also have the option to create your own bowl, smoothie or parfait along with being able to add/subject any ingredients for the speciality items on the menu. There is seating at the main level and also in an upstairs loft overlooking the first level of the business. Upstairs seating definitely helped to set the vibe while enjoying great music which seemed to be the Crumb's own personal playlist. A big downside for me was the containers and cutlery, which were made from plastic and thrown away after use. There is no option for reusable dishes and cutlery to minimize waste. Parking wasn't an issue for us at 2p on a Saturday - we were able to find on street parking right out front of the business. Although limited parking, you are able to find more parking spaces around the block on the street. If you're downtown in Oswego, give it a try. I will definitely be trying Crumb Açaí Bar again!

My husband ordered fish and chips the first time - I thought the batter was tasty and enjoyed it though I think the filleting of the actual fish could have been a lot cleaner. This item is the only reason my review is not a one star, I thought it tasted good. The second time he ordered clam chowder and a salad that had chicken, fruit, nuts. The salad was fine nothing wrong but not a stand out either it seemed similar to something I'd get as a salad kit from the store. The clam chowder though was awful, so thick and gelatinous it seemed like it was canned which is already a red flag but one of those canned soups that you're supposed to add water to and like they forgot to do that part. On top of being weirdly thick it was also cold you can tell they didn't heat it thoroughly whether that was in a microwave or not though I can't really tell. I truly don't understand the hype or reviews for this restaurant given we've tried multiple items and for the most part fell flat with the sole exception of the fried fish.
