    Corned Beef Waffle
    Edwin R.

    Couldn't believe this place was empty when I came through but I'm glad I didn't have to wait. Waffle was amazing. Visited around St Patrick's Day and they had a corn bread waffle, stuffed with cheddar and sausage, and topped with avocado... weird but so, so good.

    Berry Waffle
    Jeremy B.

    9/18/2025 Ate List: B.L.T. - 8.3 Berry Waffle - 8.1 Breakfast spot for lunch. Was pleasantly surprised that their BLT delivered on my cravings. Would absolutely have again. We also split their Berry Waffle - felt like we couldn't not get a Waffle from a spot with Waffle in the name. Super sweet. Very delicious. Could see this one satisfying a craving too.

    Kitchen, Where the magic happens!

    Arrived on a Sunday right at opening. Plenty of seating. The staff were friendly and super attentive. It was almost impossible to decide on what to order, as I wanted to try many things. (I'd suggest going with a group to share and sample!) Decided on the PB Cheesecake Waffe - YUM! The waffle itself was fluffy & delicious. A perfect combo of PB and chocolate toppings. I did spoon off some of the PB cheesecake topping as there is ALOT and I didn't need it in every bite. You won't regret trying this place!

    Leggo my Eggo? No. Leggo the Eggo and get a REAL waffle from Waffles INCaffeinated! I met a new friend for a casual Sunday brunch and even though it was poppin inside we were sat right away - twice even, as we were both sat independently of each other! When we finally paired up, there was too much good stuff to choose from so I went with the Waffle Frolic. One quarter had chocolate and berries, and one had like a peach cream cheese frosting. Pretty dang epic. But wait, it gets better. Every had a savory waffle? One quarter was covered in a damn fine version of sausage gravy, and one had bacon, cheese, and green onions both inside AND on top! My friend had the classic Chicken & Waffles, which was made with boneless chicken tenders - bonus points for that. The "caffeinated" part of their name was excellently represented by their signature latte: hazelnut, vanilla, and - a favorite of mine - maple mix with espresso and milk, complimenting both the sweet AND the savory parts of my dish. The service was friendly and prompt, even though it was a little busy. It's my first 5-star review in the Pitt, and I will definitely be back to try their crepes!

    The big kitchen window that everyone can see & hear what's going on in the kitchen. Not a pleasant view when trying to eat peacefully.

    I am VERY disappointed in how this place runs! First, let me start off with the good. Our female waitress was very genuine and attentive. The food was amazingly tasty. I ordered half a waffle with Nutella & banana, it was just the right amount of drizzle. Now let's get into the bad... I noticed a white male behind the kitchen, which I believe appears to be head honcho being EXTREMELY rude to his chefs & staff. Mind you, everyone in this restaurant can see & hear what is going on through the big kitchen opening. I couldn't enjoy my food while being triggered on how this man was treating the staff. Our waitress along with another female waitress were running around rushing orders while this man was yelling "order ready". Look sir, if you see these poor women behind & want this business to run smoothly then why don't YOU step up & help out by delivering those plates yourself. I couldn't help but feel heartsick & concerned for these workers.

    The ambiance of this place has so much potential. Super bright, attention-seeking orange walls, great graphics on the wall, good music playing. It's a welcoming location indeed. Our server, Amber, was the sweetest also! Super attentive, always asking my table if were okay and if we liked the food and/or needed anything. Which of course, is always appreciated. Outside of that, the food... was okay. I ordered the waffle with gravy. My boyfriend ordered another one (I'll add the name if he reminds me), and I wish the chefs left my waffle on the maker longer. Like was it good? Yes, but because you're putting heavvvvyyyy gravy on top of my waffle, I think they should have been kept in the maker for the full (estimated) 5-minutes, to give the customer more time to enjoy it without it getting soggy. I felt the same for both my and my boyfriend's food. If it isn't eaten in the first 20-minutes, it just all becomes one big mush. MAYBE this was due to us arriving under the last-hour of the location being closed on a Saturday, but... upon visiting Pittsburgh the entire weekend, we only went once. If that says anything. : )

    StrawNana Cheesecake Waffle and BC Jr breakfast.
    Cliff M.

    Amazing! Everything went well. I highly recommend the strawnana cheesecake waffle. Also, the BC breakfast is a great choice. Chase G was a great server, really on point. He was very attentive and checked up on use often to ensure we were pleased with the food and service.

    Waffles Incafeeinated was one of the pleasures so far on my trip to Pittsburgh. A nice cozy place serving large portions of what else - waffles and other tasty breakfast items. Waffles are made in an infinite variety and are soft and succulent. The syrup is not too sweet but savory, with a hint smokiness. I did not indulge in the Waffles, but they serve a wide variety of other breakfast staples, including omelets ,home fries, and other items. The breakfast combo was a hearty 3 eggs, a large amount of potatoes, and delicious well made bacon. My friend had link sausages with her order that had a savory taste with a hint of maple infused within. The service was great, and we were well taken care of, even though they were swamped due to the furry convention (yes! ) occurring that weekend. It is a great place, and we'll stop by again for breakfast while we're here, as it is one of the best places in the downtown area.

    Didn't love my meal here. At face value, the place sounds great. made to order waffles with your choice of mix ins and toppings. The concept is fantastic, the execution struggled. I found the waffle to be a bit brittle. It would just crumble to pieces every time I tried to cut it. There were lots of little details that seemed off too. -the maple syrup was very runny, as if it was watered down to make it last longer - I asked for some butter, got what looked like a slice that was cut off of a bigger stick and put into a plastic carry out sauce cup....it was wasteful and disappointing. I was hoping for some nice whipped butter that would melt into my waffle - that brings me to the waffle, as I spread the butter on, it came nowhere close to melting. Odd that a Fresh made waffle wasn't warm enough to melt butter -the apple topping was just chopped up red delicious apple pieces. At a place like this I would expect to get a nice warm gooey cinnamon apple topping...I guess not I got great service, the waitress I had was great. but noticed other tables around me seemed to be ignored and have long waits to order coffee and meals Will definitely seek other breakfast options next time I come to town

    Southwest Omelette with home fries
    Jen F.

    The ambience in this place wasn't the best, but we needed to eat. I really wasn't in the mood for waffles with a bunch of stuff on it, so I ordered the Southwest Omelette with home fries and an iced chai. My hubby ordered the country benedict. The iced chai arrived while we were waiting for our food. I was so confused when I tasted it. I can only imagine the expression on my face when I took a sip and it tasted like apple milk. It was disgusting! I had my hubby taste it and he had the same response, and then waved down the server and then he took it away and removed it from our bill, which was nice. My hubby enjoyed his country benedict. My SW omelette and "home fries" were weird. The omelette had those cheap sausage nuggets in it and the pico did not taste like pico. The "home fries " were sautéed soggy potatoes and sweet potatoes with lots of peppers and onions. The texture of the potatoes was soft and one of the sweet potato pieces was so bitter I had to spit it out in my napkin. Didn't really like the vibe of this place, or the food. I gave them 3 stars because the server took care of the iced chai and my hubby liked his food. Will go somewhere else for breakfast next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

    Inside
    Mildred O.

    We came on a Tuesday morning so it was not as crowded. The inside of the restaurant is bright orange. Our server, Laura, was very friendly and helpful. Laura and made some recommendations so I tried the Waffle Frolic. For those who can't decide then this is the way to go as you get 4 different waffles. They also have mimosas and lattes! Be prepared to walk off those waffle choices....

    The Benny was a fun new twist on eggs Benedict. I had to add salt, but other than that it was delicious. I was concerned about the accessibility .

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.

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!
