Food is phenomenonal and the service is exceptional, especially if served by Bridgette! Instantly feel like family. Welcomed, greeted and seated. Come hungry, leave comatose and satisfied. The Creme Brulee Waffles literally will have you in a food coma because of a foodgasm! Beyond delish! Custard oozing out of the center with the signature glass bruleed top on each waffle. Comes with fresh strawberries, which are definitely needed to break the richness and whipped cream. The Smores will send you to Heaven and back! Mounds of toasted marshmallows with drizzled chocolate. The Honey Pecan has a waffle filled with chopped pecans, honey and Maple syrup. The juices are organic. We enjoyed Guava (FAV) and Mango. They have a bevvy of alcohol-infused brunch drinks, like the Mocha Gin. Think Hot Chocolate with drizzled chocolate, whipped cream and Gin. This place is serious about Waffles, Service and creating a fantastic experience for you to savor! Only 1 bathroom so govern yourselves accordingly. Street parking available. Great, peaceful and chic neighborhood.
Outstanding food and excellent service!! They have a wide choice of savory or sweet waffle dishes on the menu, or you can just build your own. Their waffles are the best I've had - the perfect sweetness and texture to go with everything on the menu. I had the eggs benedict waffle which was delicious! They also have a great selection of artisan teas and specialty coffees. I highly recommend checking them out for an amazing breakfast or brunch!
This place had a ton of potential. They serve whole and half waffles which is perfect for sharing and tasting multiple menu items. The waffle combinations all sounded great and most of the ones we ordered were lovely. The issue was the food took an extremely long time (waffles were the only thing that required cooking as the toppings were pretty standard) and by the time they came out, they were pretty cold. Pesto Chicken Waffle: the chicken was shredded and mashed with the pesto which was AMAZING. It had great flavor but the cheese was already hardened and the whole waffle was cold. Prosciutto Cheese: this one was probably my favorite of the ones we got. However, there was barely any topping on the waffle. It would have been great warm and with more topping. S'mores: this was pretty bland in my opinion. The chocolate was overpowering and it was not worth it in my opinion. Guava and cheese: I was super excited for this one and was disappointed. The cheese was just hard cubes thrown on. The guava paste was the same and was very artificially sweetened which was too much in my opinion. Could have scraped it together myself with cheap ingredients.
Stopped by at this place for some breakfast/lunch and my boyfriend and I got a orange and mango juice. They were really good drinks! The orange juice tasted freshly squeezed. I then ordered a full waffle with Nutella and strawberries and it was very good. I also ordered a side of eggs and bacon. I wouldn't get the bacon it was really hard like it was over cooked and it was sitting on a plate for a long time before I had even ordered it. Overall this place was expensive for some waffles and eggs. It's good but not to die for. If you don't come to this location your not missing out on much.
Great locally owned spot!! Amazing service and quality of food. The owner was so kind in getting to know us, sharing about their restraints history, Puerto Rico and explaining the food options when I shared I had some dairy restrictions. Their vegan waffle is amazing and well balanced in the sense it can be paired with savory or sweet. I had a savory dish with the egg and I was so surprised. I will miss these waffles when I go back home.
The best food I ate in Puerto Rico!! I arrived about an hour before closing an went to pull open the door which I found to be locked. Turns out due to Covid, the restaurant has their customers order online. You decide if your going to dine in (which I did). Online you'll enter your table number an how you want to pay. You get several emails confirming your order, that your order is being prepared, an when it's done. Very simple! All the waffles are half size portions for roughly $7.18. I chose a savory (Gorgonzola Basil) an sweet (Creme Brulee). It was Sooo good! I also got an ice Chai tea which was the opposite! The hostess/server was a sweetheart! I will definitely be back next time I'm in Puerto Rico. My order totaled $20 with tip an if your looking for a place to park, try the La Puntilla Parking. It only cost me $1.75 for about an hour an is a 9 minute walk to the Waffle Era.
Amazing waffles! They have a vegan and Fluten Free batter --- but it runs out, so call ahead. If you're lucky enough to get a GF Waffle, you'll be in heaven! They've got a huge tea selection, and some of the best Ice Coffee in Old San Juan. They have good COVID protocols - including ordering from your table via QR code.
So I had been eating to try this place since we arrived in PR we finally made it our 3rd day here. Upon arrival it was wait but they have no reservation system you just stand outside the restaurant (no one is let inside) and wait tour turn until a table is ready. It took about 30 min then after about 5min of being seated the waitress told us we have to order online they only bring the food out to you that's it. So we ordered and pairs online and probably about 30 minutes later she finally brought our food. I order the cream cheese with pecans half waffle and bacon. The meal was delish but the waiting process could be a deterrence.
Food was amazing we had a party of 5 and all together we tried the chicken pesto waffle, the Elvis, crème brûlée, Bridget special, spicy mañanero, and caneloide. They were ALL AMAZING. The plates were empty in 10 minutes. Service was great they explain the menu thoroughly and you can tell they are passionate about the food they bring out. There pesto sauce was great, and they make all there sauces in house! I'm upset I can't bring this restaurant back home with me. Definitely stop here and grab some waffles!
We had a really nice breakfast here this morning. We both had a half size of the big breakfast, which had the best Manchego cheese and prosciutto with an egg on a waffle. It was hard to decide between the green eggs and ham, and the big breakfast, but the big breakfast won. The coffee was delicious and service was extremely good. Our server was Nicholle and she was great. The space it was really lovely, and we felt very at home. I'm sorry we waited until the last day to come here because I'd love to have a return visit. One more reason to return to San Juan. This restaurant is on San Jose, very close to the Plaza del Armes. It's a great location.

I was craving a long time for a waffle pesto so we went to Waffle-era. We were greeted at the door and asked for a table, waiting time as 10-15 mins tops. At first a I had a chamomile tea and my wife had Jamaica flower tea. Their tea selection is really good. I had a waffle pesto, with tomatoes, spinach, prosciutto and feta cheese. My wife had Nutella waffle with banana, yogurt, strawberry and blueberry. They were so delicious! Way beyond my expectation. The service was excellent, the waitress was very attentive. We will definitely come back with our friends ! read more

The upsides of the taste and novelty are worth the few downsides of a longish wait and smallish but sufficient portions. The place and concept are original and work well together. It is a unique breakfast and lunch concept meets cool tea house funkiness. Kids had dessert waffles (smores) and I had a lunch waffle with pesto, goat cheese and chicken. All were somewhere between good and great. The Hibiscus Mimosa tasted like a small glass of alcohol-free Hibiscus Tea. Not sure if that is good or bad... I'd go back but wouldn't rush back. read more

I'm not one to try new things, but my husband is lol. I ordered a half, plain waffle with bacon and strawberries on top. It was very good. The waffle itself is delicious, even without all the sugar filled toppings. My husband on the other hand had the el caneloide. It was a waffle covered with pecans, cinnamon, cream cheese, maple syrup, and honey! He absolutely loved it. I couldn't get a picture of his because he ate it so fast lol. read more

Service was very good. Food was so perfect. There's a clear glass into the kitchen that way you can see all the food thats prepared. The restaurant feels americanized (if that makes sense) and they had such a large variety of delicious tea's. read more

Staff was very pleasant, waffle batter wasn't my favorite a little too cakey/sweet. I prefer my waffles with a little crisp. I would how ever return as there aren't many waffle spots on the island (maybe I'll ask for a well done waffle). I had a simple waffle with strawberries and my partner had the s'mores waffle which had heads turning! read more

I came to this place today for a late breakfast/brunch since i was craving some waffles and pancakes. This place has 27 different flavors of tea and without too many thoughts I got the assam tea since I am just biased towards Indian tea. It was a little light than the tea I am used to but it was great nonetheless. I got the savory waffles for a change and got the regular ones with green eggs on top and it has been my best breakfast in PR so far. Its got a great ambience as well, low lit but not dull and definitely worth a visit if you are in Old San Juan! read more

As we walked down Old San Juan on a beautiful Sunday morning I decided to go on Yelp to see what was within distance to enjoy a nice breakfast. Waffle era showed up and we decided to check it out. It was a cute little place in which was truly a "tea room" they have many different teas and your food is ordered on top on either half a waffle of a full waffle. It's absolutely delicious and would recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and awesome ambiance in the heart of old San Juan! read more

Such a great waffle joint! The possibilities are endless and you can split waffles to try more than one recipe. The coffee wasn't the strongest we've had here but was very smooth and looked to be siphon brewed. The desert waffles were great. The service was very attentive and yet humble. The only downside was lack of air conditioning but it may have been a temporary issue. read more

Unique restaurant in that it's pretty much everything waffle. Waffles were too hard for my taste and the service was mediocre. Had to wait a while after being seated to order. Wouldn't probably go back, but worth trying. read more

Pretty good, but took an hour for them to come out with half waffles... Though the restaurant was not even busy... Don't come here if you have plans for your day. Other than that, waffles were great (though they didn't have the bread pudding waffle we wanted, and they waited 20 mins to tell us that) read more

If you are a waffle lover - definetly a place to come too! Came for a Saturday brunch, Very attentive staff and the waffles were delicious. I had the Pami Breakfast 1/2 waffle - with an addition of almonds. Simply delightful! The 1/2 waffle was more than enough for me and I am a good eater lol. The menu was full with great options from savory waffles to sweet and fruity ones too. Their eggs are ONLY served poached in case you are craving scrammbled or sunny side up - you might want to try another place for that. The interior Decor was simple and reminded me a bit of Spain. Shying away from the five stars because their coffee game could be bumped up a lot. They only had three options: cappuccino? pocillo-Demi (very light coffee, my BF had it and we are coffee lovers), and ice coffee (I ordered it and it had a good taste). That being said for waffles there's nothing like having the option of an espresso! read more
