If I could give this place more then 5 stars I definitely would!! I took my student to VolksWaffle yesterday as she was craving something sweet and I'm so happy that I did. Owner made us super welcome and took his time to explain how waffles are made and also added extra Nutella! It's looks very clean and neat and don't get me started on the waffle, it tasted amazing, it was melting in my mouth! I decided to pay this place a visit one more time today just to treat myself! Not to mention that huge bonus is that it's literally one minute away from my home! As an European woman I can definitely tell the difference between actually Belgium waffle and fake stuff they made here in USA! One thing I forgot to mention, after my student and I got our waffle yesterday, Terry came out to give us complimentary bottle of water for the road! Thank you!! read more

Sweet, with a hint of crunch on the outside, my waffle oozed deliciousness today. I had heard about this place a long time ago and since moving to the area, I saw it while driving by the other day and had an appointment nearby and stopped by. It's a drive-thru and walk-up kiosk and is very cute, although there is a walk-up door, if the shade is down, you can just walk up to the drive-thru window and order there. I ordered "Most Wanted" and it was topped with strawberry slices, whipped cream, and Nutella, and was (I don't use this word often but it seems to fit here) scrumptious. Every light, fluffy bite of waffle was a treat and it was big enough to fill me up without feeling like I overdid anything. There is a good selection of waffles and a large drink menu as well. I already had a drink with me, otherwise I would have tried their matcha drink. I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

Twp private parties later and I'm still enamored by the delicious simplicity of these mobile creations. As far as I'm concerned, the gentleman who runs this little portable food truck (a uniquely converted volkswagen) is a local food scene treasure, and his waffles are something everyone should experience. Last year, we ended up hiring him twice for two children's birthday parties. On both occasions he was prompt and expedient in his waffle service. Apparently, the dough comes all the way from Germany, giving it its unique flavor. He'll do a number of toppings by request but he likes to stick to the traditional whip cream with fruit like strawberries or blueberries and a caramel drizzle. A lot of kids request ice cream, which he will provide, but the ice cream-free version is his preference. I think his only requirement for a private event is a certain number of people - 20 or so. Other than that he is laid back and flexible. We hired him once at a private residence and once at a public park. read more

VolksWaffle has a way of pulling you in magnetically & then holding you there for a moment in time, like you've just transported to another land to taste waffles made from infancy. They are deep fluffy pockets of delectable gooeyness that screams, "dessert waffles"! So far in CA, for me, I've only had waffles this good out in Monterey (but who wants to drive there from Sac?) Not much for veganism.... but if you're craving chocolate, fruity, filling food on the (drive thru) fly...... make the trek out here. Easy to spot. Check hours under the pictures, tho. I believe they're usually closed up by 2-2:30 pm daily so plan accordingly. read more

The waffles are AMAZING here. Volkwaffle was working at one of my company's annual summer party just today and I loved it sooo much I decided to sit down and write a review. I really enjoyed their waffles and customer service. I got mine with whipped cream, strawberries, nutella, and a bit of powdered sugar and oh my god, it was the best waffle I ever had in my life. Life-changing. My bf ended up going back 3 times within an hour because it was absolutely amazing. I wish I took pictures, but honestly it was just too good I completely forgot. Terry was the guy operating the volkswagen, and he offered exceptional customer service and I had an amazing time talking and getting to know him. Also, this whole concept of a super cute red volkswagen food-truck serving the best Belgian waffles is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. I would definitely recommend this to everyone I know. read more

One of the few things that catches your eye at the Sacramento Farmer's Market is this bright-red VW bus converted into a waffle kitchen. Where the trunk would be is a small freezer/fridge where oblong mounds of uncooked waffle sit at the ready. Where the back seats would be is now a mini-preparation area lined with reflective copper panels. A few waffle irons here, containers of add-ons there, and a big container of powder-sugar is all there really is to it. With a quick spritz of lubrication on the griddles, the pre-measured mounds find a warm home to cook, crisp, and crystalize. Out of the two options, I decided on The Most Wanted: one of their waffles topped with strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate. There would be a slight wait in its creation from refrigerated mound to crispy, golden, oval waffle-ness. Now I thought it would be your standard vanilla-flavored waffle, but it turned out to be a leige-style/Belgian waffle with chunks of sugar crystals packed into the batter and occasionally scorched by the cooking process. It doesn't need syrup and makes for more of a street snack. The strawberries lent their bright tartness to the table while the chocolate and whipped cream provided a bit more sweetness for your tongue to swing between flavors. It's a very satisfying and dense little sucker from an intriguing little...food VolksWagon. I fail to call it a food truck since it's not really a truck. Either way, if you can hunt it down, I'd try it. I give it a fabulous 5. read more

My 2-year old was asking for waffles all morning while I was rushing to get ready for work. The freezer was out and my box of Bisquick was near empty. *If only there was somewhere that sold quick, hot waffles.* I thought to myself. And then I remembered VolksWaffle. That little red box I drove past everyday on my way to work. What fortuity. Divine providence. My son was in luck. Aiming only to appease him, I ordered one waffle with a light drizzle of cookie butter. It is only Tuesday after all. Once we arrived at his daycare, before I sent him inside with the sorry-I-go-to-work-and-let-someone-else-raise-you-guilt-waffle, I took a bite. I have never tasted something so amazing. Perfection. Not just a waffle. This was a real Belgian waffle. Sweet sweet salvation. And to think I had to relinquish this to my toddler that usually eats frozen Eggos straight from the freezer. Throwing pearls to swine. But I'll be back. This little red box is a true Carmichael blessing. read more

We enjoyed our order aside from noticing that portions appeared to be smaller (see images of the fair oaks burger and carrot cake). During this visit we noticed that there was a discrepancy with the charges. We asked a server because our server was busy attending to other tables and we needed to pay. We were told that it had to do with an automatic "service charge" and the other was if you paid cash you get a dollar off? For example, the Lido Shuffle on the menu says $16.95 but on the receipt we were charged $17.46 and then the burger stated $12.95 but on the receipt it was $13.34. We just think that there can be better transparency as to why there is an upcharge on items. Or they can perhaps update the menu?? When we asked the server, it appeared as though she did not know truly know the answer. While we like the food here, despite the decrease in portions, it's important for customers to know what they are paying instead of being misled.

Both cheeses went well with the entire crêpe. I was going to try one of the dessert crêpes, but after this thing, I was full. Next time I will come in specifically for a dessert crêpe.

It was fun trying somewhere new as we usually go to our favorites. For the past several years we've been going to Scott's for celebrations, but that has gotten old so thankfully we found somewhere new and loved it. I highly reccomend this restaurant. The ambiance is spectacular. If you can get one of the side tables under the overhang with the wine bottle chandelier you'll love it. Here's what we ordered: Borscht with Beef: Traditional red soup made with beets, beef, garden vegetables topped with sour cream- To me it didn't look appetizing, but it's a traditional dish so we split a cup. We didn't have much hope that would be edible. We were blown away trying it. It was actually good. We were shocked. It was so good. It was filled with pieces of tomatoes and beets and huge tender chucks of beef. Spinach Blini-Gluten free, vegetarian, 6 blintzes filled with spinach and creamy white sauce. We really enjoyed these Spinach Blini. They were very rich. I could only eat two to them and took the third one with me to share with my husband. He really liked it and wish there was more. I really wanted to get the Cherry Blini, but we were too full even though we shared an entree. I'm so disappointed as they looked so good. We needed a couple more people at our table so we could have tried more dishes and eaten everything family style. Beef Stew-Tender chunks of beef meat, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and this good things stewed in perfectly hearty cheese gravy baked in clay pot and served with tortilla on top. We split this dish and it was the perfect amount for us. It was really good. The chunks of potatoes and meat were huge, the mushrooms were firm, and the flavor was really tasty.

Volkswaffle in Carmichael is a TRUE hidden gem that every waffle lover needs to discover. This cozy spot offers an incredible selection of waffles that are both creative and delicious. I opted for the Purist and the Belgian chocolate most wanted, and it they were both absolutely heavenly--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with a delightful hint of sweetness. The toppings are generous and fresh. The service was outstanding. The owner took time to explain the history of how Volkswaffle came to be and how he makes the waffles so unique. He was friendly, attentive, and passionate about the waffles. The prices are reasonable, especially given the quality and creativity of the waffles. Portions are satisfying, and you definitely get your money's worth. Volkswaffle is a must-visit for anyone in Carmichael. Whether you're a waffle enthusiast or just looking to try something new, this place will not disappoint. read more

This is by far the best waffle available in California! My wife and I went this morning and shared something with caramel and strawberries and all sorts of goodness on it no. But this guy explained how they fly their dough in from Belgium and all that stuff like every few days and they keep it frozen at a certain temperature and then they anyways all these details are definitely come out in the favor because it is amazing! Also cuz it took a little bit longer he gave us a free coffee and water and a treat for our doggy It is definitely family owned and operated we love the volkswaffle people! read more

The owner was incredibly welcoming and amiable, it was a pleasure to learn about our food! I can't say much for the coffee as neither me or my friend got any, but the waffles were beyond fantastic, they tasted amazing and they were decently priced too! I will definitely be visiting more often! read more

Yuck! Worst thing weren't the waffles though, which were pretty frickin terrible. Unprompted, the guy running the place went on a rant about immigrants being violent free-loaders. Completely tone deaf. I'm wondering if the whole Volks thing is because dude is actually a Nazi. Never going there again, and I'd encourage anyone else to stay away. Not really worth it. Empty calories without any enjoyment. read more

I'm a waffle guy, not a pancake guy, let's get that out of the way. These guys have a couple different options, and I ordered the purist. While the flavor is pretty good, I am big on texture. These waffles were sweet, but very dense. I personally prefer less dense waffles. read more

It is always busy with lots of customers coming and going. So that equals waiting. But if I am driving to or from Sacramento on Highway 50 I can take the Zinfandel exit in Rancho Cordova and literally be at a much less crowded Crumbl store in minutes. I have been here many times now and the service is always excellent, the shop is clean and inviting, and there is plenty of parking. Best of all, I have my choice of the same, wonderful and delicious cookies as the Folsom location. And... there is never a wait! So all you Folsom and El Dorado Hills peeps traveling up and down Highway 50 corridor... know that if you want a quick Crumbl Cookie fix without a long wait... head on over to the RC location.

It would be nice if they offered both at the same time - like 3 flavors in thin-style and 3 in cakey-style because I know other people prefer their original style.
