These were honestly, unexpectedly amazing. The place has both waffles and ice cream, as well as a few other items and different combinations of the two. I decided to get the Antwerp with Nutella ice cream. It was just stellar. The waffles here are not the typical soggy grocery store ones. No, they are made in house and are liege waffles. So, more chewy and sugary with bits of crunch at the edges. The ice cream is also so so good. Super creamy. A pretty nice amount of Nutella flavor (could always be stronger though). Just really good and a really fair portion. When the two are paired together, it's just exquisite. read more

Waffallonia serves Belgian Liège sugar waffles, milkshakes, ice-cream waffle cones, coffees, hot chocolate, and bottled sodas. The menu lists waffles in several flavors: plain Liege; Antwerp with ice cream and chocolate sauce; Bruges with strawberries and whipped cream; Namur with bananas and Nutella; Charleroi with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella; Ghent with bananas and Speculoos cookie butter; and Waffallonia with an unlimited number of custom toppings. Toppings include whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, Nutella, Speculoos, Belgian chocolate, caramel, dark chocolate shell, and the business's small-batch flavors of ice creams. During my recent visit, an employee promptly and politely served me. I ordered one Ghent waffle for $6.31 plus tax and tip. The employee made the waffle fresh in a reasonable time. Some indoor tables and chairs were available, so I sat down to eat. My Ghent waffle was nicely chewy and was topped with delicious Speculoos/Biscoff shortbread spread and slices of bananas. I rate it as 5 stars. Waffallonia's website says that 100% of their electricity is supplied from renewable sources and that they use compostable plates and recycled materials--other reasons to like them! read more

Waffalonia never fails to satisfy any Belgium liège waffle cravings! I love eating these waffles during ski trips and these make me so nostalgic. You walk into a small shop and there's only 2, 4-top tables and 1, 2-top inside so the space is a bit tight for larger groups. They have different types of waffles based on different cities in Belgium, and you can add different toppings for an extra price. Waffles are made fresh for every order and the place smells delicious. read more

Waffallonia - Bruges - Desserts Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Love this place so much!! Every time I walk by it smells SO good I'm really tempted to walk in just because of the glorious sugary buttery belgian waffle smells wafting outside. This place serves up beautiful and huge belgian waffles with all the toppings you can imagine -- nutella, various ice cream flavors, whipped cream, fruits, you name it. Personally I'm a fan of whipped cream and ice cream, because it goes so well with the hot fresh waffle. You order inside at the counter and you can also see them making the waffles in front of you. There's limited seating inside and since covid it's been taken away, so it's more of a grab and go situation. The workers here are fantastic and very friendly. They were really accommodating when I brought a huge group here and did a mass order of waffles! It's definitely not a light dessert, but if you have the stomach space for it it's sooo worth it! read more

my daughter and I drove here from Mercer PA. We were so excited to try it out. We got here an hour early. We stood out front till 1215. The place never opened... it was dark with no lights. we called the number and it said something like you have to order pick up, but there was no one even there. this was on Friday!! we ended up going to the diner two doors done. What a wasted trip I would never go back.. read more

It's definitely a nice treat and you could realistically have one waffle for two people but what's the fun in that? I wish I had went a little more crazy quite frankly. I went with the most basic waffle, but it was still delicious. It's a bit cramped for my liking, but it's still a nice treat. read more

No matter how full I get eating dinner on Murray I can always slam a waffle from these fools.

My favorite dessert in pittsburgh. Ever since my first bite in Schenley Plaza (they used to have a kiosk there!), I knew I was sold. The fresh out of the iron waffle with cold icecream with hits of fruit always hits the spot. And it's not just a plain ol' waffle, it's a liege waffle, a superior more delicious version. I usually get the WAFFALLONIA where I can have unlimited toppings. A waffle with nutella topping, speculoos icecream, strawberries, and bananas is my favorite go-to. It's the perfect balance of not too sweet but sweet enough to satisfy that sweet tooth after a good meal. I'm salivating now just thinking about it. Additionally, I don't think I've ever had a poor service experience there. They've always been friendly, patient, and helpful when you're unsure or indecisive on what toppings to add to your waffle. I miss their kiosk in Schenley Plaza because of the unlimited seating. But I'm just thankful that they still have this location open. They are a small shop with only 2-3 tables both inside and outside so it's not ideal for large groups. Another unfortunate aspect is that because of how small the shop is, the entryway is also small and it's a step-up rather than a ramp so it's not very accessible. tldr; food 5/5 service 5/5 price 3/5 accessibility 1/5 read more

This was yummy! I am waffle fanatic and they were delicious here. I loved all the different topping options and how they're named after places in Belgium.

Two words, COOKIE BUTTER! I've been meaning to write this review for a year but I end up wolfing down my waffles and never take a picture of the warm, slight crunch of the cooked sugar, and fluffy waffle. It is the ultimate sweet tooth satisfaction. They do have ice cream and I've seen folks get ice cream but I get the cookie butter. It adds the razzle dazzle to an already spectacular treat. By the way, the decor is really cool and there is so much information on the cork board read more

I can't believe I've gone this long without a liege waffle in my life. This was the most melt in your mouth delicious treat I've had in a long time and it's so unique from any other type of dessert out there. These are made to order, aka hot and fresh and decadent in the best way. I can't wait to go back and try every flavor combination. read more

I'll let Kanye introduce this place, despite his crap political bullcrap. N-now th-that that don't kill me Can only make me stronger I need you to hurry up now 'Cause I can't wait much longer I know I got to eat Waffles 'Cause I can't get much hungrier Man, I've been waiting all night now Now I want Waffallonia! You know how long I've been comin' yeah Since Prince was on Apollonia Since O.J. had Isotoners Don't act like I never told ya So when you're in Pennsyl-vonia Whether with friends or alone, yuh If you want a waffle boner Then come straight to Waffallonia WHAT. I've had a lot of bad waffles in America and most of the American-style ones are that. I've had some good ones here and there, and then I've had a few that were so great that they could have been sold in Belgium, and still made a splash and still tasted good. This is one of those truly exceptional ones. Sure nothing will ever be as good as the heaven of the waffles in Brussels, but when it comes to the American version, you have the one in New York City (Wafles And Dinges, now a chain), and then you have this one. None of the others around the country have ever had have been as good or authentic. You would not expect to find such a perfectly traditional Liege Waffle in Pittsburgh, but come here and get it with Speculoos, and you'll see for yourself that you don't need to go to Belgium to get this absolutely incredible treat. What to get: Liege Waffle w/Spekuloos Spread. What else: I want to recommend more things but I don't want to spread myself too thin. If you have never been to Brussels and tried the heaven that is churned out at Maison Dandoy near the main square, the greatest Liege Waffles in the world, then this is a very very good attempt at giving you the joy without the travel expenses. It's not as good as Maison Dandoy, and is second in the USA (probably) to Wafles & Dinges of Manhattan, but other than that, it's the best version of a Belgian Waffle that I've ever tried outside of Belgium. And the fact that they serve Spekuloos (the amazing, delicious traditional Gingerbread spread which has to be imported from Belgium itself) on their waffles (make sure you ask for it) just adds to the experience (I love parentheses) (you can probably tell) (anyway I think this paragraph is just about done, don't you). Seriously, though, the name is very clever. Wallonia is the name that the Belgians call the Southern (French-speaking) part of the country. One of these days, Belgique-Belgie may split into two... the Flemish and the French. That would be a shame, but if it happens, it won't be unexpected. The title of this dessert spot is a play on the word Wallonia... one which I myself would be proud of. The price is not too bad, considering it's in the most expensive fancy part of Pitt, right next to Murray & Forbes. So grab one of these, and you're all Squirrelled away for the day in the best kind of way. It's a tiny little place with not much room to eat (just like the places in Belgium), service is fine, sometimes really friendly, sometimes curt (I mean literally my boy Curt works here, so...), and in general, it's perhaps the best dessert you can try in Pennsylvania. Pencil it in, because I hope I'm not writing this review in Vain, yeah? Get it. Pencil. Vain, yeah. No more bad jokes, or jokes in general. We're done. Not in this review anyway. Besides, this Waffle is so good, that if you eat too many of them, this Waffle'll Own ya. Hence the name. Anyway this review is so so long already. I need to end it. And again I'm sorry for waffling so much. read more

Stumbled upon this amazing find while in the area for dinner! I have an obsession with Belgium waffles and crave the authentic taste that I had when I visited Belgium. This place brought the authentic taste that I hadn't had in ten years! The place basically only does takeout. There are a couple tables outside for you to eat but we ordered to go We ordered the Antwerp and the Charleroi. They both were DELICIOUS. The liege waffle was definitely the highlight of every bite. I wished that I had just gotten the regular liege The chewiness of the dough, and the sweetness was absolutely done to perfection. I'm so glad that we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommend! read more

Very tasty! I had the Namur: banana and Nutella and it was served warm and tasty! I think these waffles may be just as good plain as the Liege waffles. It is hard to taste the sugar waffle itself with the added toppings, so I would be glad to return and go for the simplest experience. I'll say that the wait also, despite a long line, was very quick and efficient. A good first experience! read more

I love Waffallonia. Can they please have a chain in California? When my friend suggested that we come here, I was a little hesitant because I wasn't a big fan of waffles. Little did I know what I would stumble upon... Bruges with Nutella- Who created such a perfect match? The waffle is absolutely delicious. It is a mochi donut texture when you first bite into it, but then come the little crystals of sugar which add the most amazing sweetness. The Nutella was perfect with the strawberries which were a little sour paired with the sweet Nutella. The whipped cream was super fresh and had the most delicious milky taste. I would 100% recommend this place to everyone and I would even make a detour for this place. Also, be sure to check into the restaurant on Yelp because you get a free topping! read more

Stopped in on one of those false alarm spring days (you know when it's magically 50° in February) and ordered a waffle with biscoff and strawberries. It was (not photogenic but) super tasty and reminded me of another waffle dessert shop out of state that always had a long line on warmer days. With this, the waffle spot on walnut, treats and beans, and smashed waffles in town, I'm living my waffle dreams! read more

It always smelled so delectable every time I would walk past so I finally tried it and I wasn't disappointed! I got the build your own waffle that you can put as many toppings as you want on it. It was such a great way to end the night. The waffles had a nice sugary crunch, the ice cream was so creamy, and the fruit was super fresh! There's only one employee working at a time so it takes some time, but they were so kind!! There are only 3 tables inside because it's a small place. read more

Waffle is a good imitation of a Belgian liege waffle but it's not as crispy. Don't mix this up with the big round "Belgian" waffles you'd get at a breakfast joint. These are made with pearl sugar and they don't need any additional syrup because they're perfect on their own. Buttery sugary yeast goodness. Normally they have a bit of a crisp on the outside due to the sugar caramelizing on the waffle iron but this one is on the softer side and lacks that crisp. Flavor wise, however, the waffle is good and on point. You can add toppings or get ice cream with your waffle. We tried the plain one to compare to what we had in Brussels and it was close! They make them fresh as you order. Not much seating so it's more of a walk in and walk out shop. Different types of ice cream also available in case you don't like waffles. read more

Waffallonia introduced me to the joy of Belgian Liege waffles (made from dough with pearl sugar) with years ago. I haven't had a batter-based waffle since then. I've stopped into Waffalonia recently during the COVID-19 lockdown with my wife, and it was just what we needed to break the monotony and bring some joy to some tough times. As always, the shop is clean and the staff was friendly and quick. On our first recent visit, I had a waffle with Dave and Andy's vanilla ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream, and a little caramel syrup. This is my go to at Waffallonia- when you combine these ingredients together, you essentially have the perfect dessert or sweet breakfast. This waffle was so tasty that when we were driving through Squirrel Hill a week later, I brought up Waffallonia to my wife and she answered "How did you know that I was thinking about it?" Needless to say, we stopped again and grabbed a takeout 6 pack of waffles to keep us going for awhile. We went home, added some strawberries and whipped cream, and were good to go. Well what about the leftover waffles, you ask? Freeze them, toast them for a bit, and they taste just as good as they did coming right off of the waffle iron at the store. If you like a sweet, tasty waffle, journey to Waffallonia and change what you know about waffles... forever. read more

Just ok. The waffle looked and the texture felt not-done inside. We showed the clerk and he said that's how it's supposed to be.

Waffallonia is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall restaurant with an absolutely amazing menu. The waffles are cooked to perfection, and their pairings of toppings are delicious. I visited with a group of friends, and we all tried the Charleroi, a perfectly golden-brown Belgian waffle topped with Nutella, banana, and strawberries. It was such a simple dish, yet so well-crafted. It was the perfect mid-day treat and will definitely satisfy your sugar cravings. While the indoor seating is limited, the decor inside Waffallonia is also delightful. I love the map of Belgium along the back wall (it makes for a perfect background for photos), and the furniture is simple, yet functional and attractive. The service was also delightful and quick. read more

** Super addicting and tasty waffles, a definite must try. Tastes great with ice cream and well worth the price. Waffalonia has changed my life for the better, and how many places can you say that about? No matter how full I am after dinner, sometimes one friend in my group decides he wants to stop by, and once I step in and smell the fresh dough, there's no turning back. You have a separate stomach for dessert and waffalonia proves that's a fact. The waffles are always nice and warm off the oven, super soft, and nice and sugary. They're so good that they'd taste amazing on their own, but I usually order it with their speculous ice cream. I love how the coldness of the ice cream contrasts the warmness of the waffle, and each bite is just heavenly. The speculous ice cream is my favorite.. it just complements the taste of the waffle beautifully and though it's really sweet every bite just packs a punch. Another option is to add fruits, but from my personal experience speculous ice cream is the definite way to go. My friend described this place as "dank af" and I believe that's the best two word summary you could give it. I'm craving it now just writing about it... read more

Hello fellow Yelpers!!! This place is AMAZING. Super recommend the Belgian waffles! They are made fresh, they are crisp on the outside and then fluffy and chewy on the inside. honestly unlike any American type waffle we've ever had! We've had to step away so that we don't get diabetes!!! It's so good! One of us prefers just the waffle, others have preferred getting ice cream of speckaloo on it! Speckaloo is just cookie butter! The waffle maker guy is no frills and doesn't talk much and can feel a little intimidating, but man are the waffles he puts out magical. Always the same guy grinding those waffles out by himself! Amazing. The cashiers are usually really nice though! Stop on by while you're in the squirrel hill area and want some dessert!!! read more

Service and food were great. It is a very small place with only two tables for dine in. It was empty when we got there and quickly filled up. We let the party behind us order first because we had no idea what to expect. We each ended up ordering one of the standard menu options and we were each pleased with the results. The waffles are probably the best waffle I ever ate. The tiny, crunchy, sugary bits were a pleasant surprise. My waffle was called "the Charleroi" and it had Nutella, bananas, strawberries, and I added a scoop of cinnamon ice cream. Don't leave out the ice cream! The waffle is warm, the Nutella and ice cream sort of melt over it and the fruit adds a nice freshness to the dessert. Both of my kids enjoyed their selections too, but I think they regretted not adding the scoop of ice cream. Definitely check this place out - you will be enjoy it! You can make your own combination or just get the waffles plain! read more

Ok, better than what I had imagined! FYI- the Yelp check-in for a free topping does NOT work anymore...take it off!!!! +1 Delicious, fresh waffles. +1 Yummy ice cream! Pretty heavy though. +1 Decently priced ($5.33 for the whole she-bang) for the quality and quantity. +1 Pretty solid service. Really quick and friendly. Seating: pretty limited, more grab and go. Menu: simple and easy to understand. One thing I do have to say though, is that they are very literal with "sugar waffle"- I literally ate teaspoons of sugar on that waffle...feels like they just dumped the sugar jar on it. Overall, fun area and lots of eateries! Never knew waffles could taste this good! Bye bye, Leggo my eggos... read more

Well, it's one of the few non-bar places open in Squirrel Hill after 9pm, which counts for something. But I didn't think the waffle was that remarkable, nowhere near the flavor or crispiness I had in Belgium years ago. And the chocolate sauce tastes more like sauce than like chocolate. read more
