    Blueberry cheesecake
    Adam C.

    These waffles are amazing!! I love that you are able to get a free waffle for your birthday as it makes for a special and delicious treat! I'm a huge fan of the cheesecake waffles, I would highly recommend trying one of those, especially with the blueberry compote! The cheesecake pudding is incredible, the blueberry adds a yummy sweetness, and their whipped cream is the lightest and fluffiest whipped cream I've ever tasted. Mom got the strawberries at midnight and holy smokes there was a lot of chocolate! She cut me a big chunk and while it was probably too much chocolate for me, anyone chocolate lover would be in heaven! Another solid choice. The fresh strawberries were wonderful too! The staff that works there is always super friendly and provides a relaxing and chill atmosphere if you choose to eat inside. If you're in the area this is a must stop. And make sure you sign up on their website so you can take advantage of a birthday freebie! I'll be back again for sure :)

    One of the breakfast places that I was excited to go in Portland was The Waffles Window. Their waffles looked amazing, I thought it is such a cute concept to get them over the window. To our surprise, when we got there, the window was closed. I was so sad, until we realized that they are actually in full operation in the inside. So, the "window-serve takeaway joint" was inside the cafe, which worked out great for us. It was nice to have a table seating. Inside the cafe was very large, with lots of tables and chairs. They offer sweet & savory Belgian-style waffles. I love Liege waffles, and excited to see how they do it with Portland Twist. Their menu was big, there is something for everyone. We decided to order one sweet, and one savory kind. We got Seasonal Special item, Rose City made with Strawberries, Rose Cream, Rhubarb Sauce, and Whipped Cream. It was super beautiful, the tart rhubarb sauce went great with the sweet strawberries and whipped cream. The waffle was amazing and fluffy, super tasty! For the savory kind, we went with Three B's. It is made with Thick Cut Pepper Bacon, Brie Cheese, and Fresh Basil, service with House Recipe Peach Jam. It was delicious! The combination of pepper bacon and brie was amazing, and basil added that extra flavor to bring them all together. Delicious! We had a really nice breakfast here. We loved the waffles we ordered, we enjoyed every bite. I wish if we could try so many more!

    Fried chicken and waffle with gravy (dont get syrup) is the best omg
    Larry C.

    I love their fried chicken and waffle with gravy. It is so delicious. Half order is enough to get a delicious taste of their best item on their menu. But everything else is very good. Friendly employees. Very casual dining. Bus your own table.

    It was an interesting concept because I think there was another restaurant next to it, but you have to buss your own tables. Get your own waters. But the fried chicken was so good like seriously I can tell that their oil is clean. You didn't feel heavy after eating it. The strawberry waffles were amazing. I got it in the morning time so it kind of felt like breakfast. The waffles themselves however, I have personally had better in Portland. not bad at all satisfied my cravings 8.5 out of 10.

    The kiddo was in the mood for a waffle and boy did we find a good one! He's pretty picky about crisp, chew and fluff and he was happy as a clam. Piles high with fresh strawberries and cream with just the right amount of Nutella!

    Strawberries at Midnight
    Irma K.

    Must try! One of our favorite places to go for breakfast when in Portland. My favorite is the Three B's (Bacon, Brie and Basil). For a sweeter side try the Strawberries at Midnight! Waffle Bot is filling if you need more to fill your tummy. Good service. You can order at the window or eat inside the restaurant if you prefer sit down especially during cold rainy days.

    Pulled Pork Waffle
    Renaldo M.

    Ordered "to-go" as a road trip meal back to CA. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was ready very quickly. Ordered the Pulled Pork Waffle and Half Order Chicken & Waffle. Unfortunately the Pulled Pork Waffle wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. The meat could've used more seasoning or more punch in the blackberry sauce. You also have to eat it fast because the coleslaw in-between will make the waffle soggy. On the bright side, the Chicken & Waffle was delicious! I'm addicted to Roscoe's, and this came in 2nd. The sweet & savory flavor was spot-on. Stayed crunchy, and just the right sweetness. I'm glad I ordered both because this really saved my experience. I'll definitely return for the Chicken & Waffle and rather than the pulled pork, try a sweet waffle option.

    Outdoor dining area for Waffle Window
    Ashley F.

    Amazing food and service! Seating available inside and outside. Nice, comfy breakfast spot (for any time of day). The waffles are delicious and can easily be turned into a larger meal by adding eggs, potatoes and/or bacon. I do wish they had a veggie bacon option, but otherwise a perfect experience. We will be back!

    Peanut Butter and Chocolate Waffle
    Kyle P.

    This is kind of an odd spot. You don't get to order from the waffle window itself, you have to go inside Bread and Ink Cafe. There, it feels like a covid-era throwback where the main dining room is cleared out with a makeshift ordering station set up on a folding table. Other rooms have people sitting and eating Bread & Ink's brunch. You have to stand in line with all the brunch people to place your order, which defeats the purpose of the "window" aspect. Also, the waffle was not packaged in an especially mobile way. You definitely have to sit down to eat it. I dunno, I was expecting the Waffle Window to be a walk up window where you could get an eat-on-the-go waffle. It's now just basically the waffle menu of the sit down restaurant Bread & Ink.

    Pearl Sugar Waffle

    Nothing has changed! Came back recently and loved everything as always. I feel like it's a good sign when a business is consistently doing everything right and that's definitely them!

    Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle
    Jenny T.

    A popular waffle spot in Portland, The Waffle Window, serves savory and sweet waffles to satisfy your cravings! There were so many options, I didn't know what to order, I knew I wanted something sweet so I asked for recommendations and I ended up ordering a strawberry cheesecake waffle. Let me tell you, it was delicious! I loved every bite of it. The waffle was crispy, the cheesecake pudding was creamy and smooth, and the whip cream topped on top was perfect!

    Bananarumba
    Shanez S.

    This place never disappoints! The service is always warm and friendly. The space is very chill, with lots of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The waffles are perfection! Crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. Tons of vegetarian options, especially on the sweet side. I've tried several, but the Bananarumba keeps calling me back. Pro tip: sign up for the Waffle Club on their website to receive a free waffle around your birthday.

    Half chicken and waffle
    Karen W.

    I tried their chicken and waffles. It came with the options of gravy and syrup. I got both! The sweetness of the waffle and the savoriness of the fried chicken make this a perfect combination. I will definitely order this item again. It is highly recommended.

As i approached the building, I noticed that it was full of people. I fell into the street. I was in and out of consciousness.

He told me that they would clean off a table for me. WOO HOO. I bursted out crying at the thought that I finally got my seat. As I sat down a soft chair graced my bottom. Beautiful. I looked around and the scenery was beautiful. As I looked at the menu, my eyes sharply turned to the chicken and waffles. Deliciously perfect choice. I ordered my food and got a coffee. My chicken and waffles arrived and I took a bite. I started floating. My soul left my body. I looked down at my body as I floating away, I was enjoying every bite. I reached the heavens. A loud voice said "Its not your time yet. Return and enjoy the rest of your meal." I ascend back to the chair and every chicken and every waffle was gone. The servers were SO kind.

The first thing that hit my palate was the blue cheese and caramelized onions. Delicious combination. I was happy to see that the omelette was overflowing with caramelized onions as I love them. The accompanying roasted potatoes were cooked perfectly. I also got an espresso martini to wake me up and give me a buzz to start my day.

It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll.
