    Liège Waffle
    Michelle Z.

    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!

    We really enjoyed the waffles, they were quite delicious. I chose to add blueberries, and they were fresh and amazing. Our order was ready almost immediately. There is a sign that says "take out only,' however there were 2 little tables just outside the entrance.

    I've been to Bruges, Belgium and had this exact waffle. A little bit different vibes, but if you are in the mood for a sweet treat, I highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

    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. Service was fast and friendly and the shop is very cute and comfortable. The waffles are not incredibly filling but they were a nice treat!!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    My new sweet addiction! Waffallonia is a convenient treat for snacks, breakfast, and dessert! Personally, I like the classic homemade whip cream with the waffles! Also, they offer packs of waffle to go. I bought a 4-pack waffles for friends that were visiting and they were easy to heat up!

    Waffle with biscoff and chopped strawberry
    Anokhy D.

    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!

    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.

    A small waffle place on Murray Avenue. They serve Belgium Liege waffles, ice cream and shakes. We got a waffle topped with sliced bananas and whipped ceeam. It was delicious but very sweet. The service was fast and friendly.

    For a quick, calorific snack, Waffalonia is the place. Make pretty much any combination of waffle, toppings, and/or ice cream.

    I was having a real "Pittsburgh Proud" moment at this ice cream spot. I loved reading about the…read morehistory of the business and looking through all of the vintage advertisements and memorabilia outside the shop. My first thought after visiting was that I should have come here sooner, and my second thought was already deciding what I want to order next time. I am already planning to order the peanut butter soft serve with warm fudge and a warm cookie after being inspired by their chocolate chip cookie sundae advertisement and will need to ask about what the strawberry shortcake situation is all about as well. For years, I watched the long lines outside and wondered what all the hype was about. Sometimes you don't get it until you "get it" - and now I get it. Fortunately for us, there was barely any line when we arrived even though it was a hot summer day. Even better, it's only about a one-hour walk from my house. The service was also fast and friendly and the employee who helped us was pleasant the whole time which added to the overall experience. I was especially impressed by the peanut butter soft serve. The flavor was rich and pronounced without compromising the smooth, creamy texture of the soft serve. It was everything I would want peanut butter soft serve ice cream to be. I was also surprised by how many soft-serve flavors they offer. Most places have only a few options, but there was plenty to choose from here. That said, it's hard for me to order anything other than the peanut butter soft serve now that I know how much I love it. One thing to know is that they do not offer free samples because the flavors are made to order. Something else to know is that the small sized cone held noticeably more ice cream than the small cup despite being the same price - so if you can I suggest the cone over the cup if you want more ice cream for the same price. I originally chose the cup because my hands weren't clean, but I later realized the cones come with a plastic protector around them anyway. All in all, this is one of those places that lives up to its reputation, and I highly recommend coming here if you are an ice cream aficionado.

    Came on a rainy Sunday and the line was not too long! It moved quickly and the workers were really…read morefast and efficient in trying to get everyone's order. I got the strawberry shortcake sundae and it was huge! I did not expect it to be so big so if you're looking to share something this would be it! It's a staple and delicious. I will be coming back to try to different flavors they got going on.
