I agree with Courtney, "If you are visiting the city add Waffles INC to your must do list". We ate here 2 of the 3 mornings of our visit. We opened up the place at 8:01AM the 1st morning. One guy was before us the 2nd day. LOL. Three (3) Warnings: #1. You will order to much food. #2. You will eat more than you planned. #3 You will love it! But........YOLO. The plates size is huge, like platter size big. The service was fast, efficient and friendly. The prices are reasonable. The decor is pleasantly painted in wake up colors. the ladies restroom was very clean, at least at 8-9AM. There's not much else to say. Tip: If you like coconut, order a waffle with coconut in it. DELISH. read more

Waffles INCaffeinated - Receipt: Very Reasonable Prices - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

First time for me! We were greeted and seated right away! Coffee was some of the best you'll find. The food was incredible! My only complaint is that I saw our order sit under a the warmer while our server, took and order from a table, sat another table, took a drink order from a table that he just been seated. Then, by chance, she walked past the kitchen and the food kind of appeared to catch her eye prompting her to bring it to us. The food was phenomenal!!! Had it been brought sooner, it would have been hot instead of warm. Again, it was phenomenal! I think a food runner was needed though. The whole area was filled with other orders that needed to be run. I would definitely go back and would definitely recommend to others. read more

Didn't think I would like crab meat and a waffle infused with eggs Benedict but it did greatly. Waffle with ham, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, then crab and scallion on top. I really liked this. It was prepared perfectly. The server was excellent answered my questions about the meal. She told me it will be quite different than I've had. She was right. Still good. Had a coke. The place is smaller than it looks. There was a small wait but not bad at all. read more

You can't go wrong!!! One of the most unique & best breakfast places within Downtown Pittsburgh. If you are visiting the city add Waffles INC to your must do list. The breakfast is perfection every single time. My favorite is the Funky Monkey; it's absolutely delicious. The restaurant is Covid dine in safe & all precautions are followed. I felt comfortable & safe during all of my frequent visits. Add it to your list. You won't be sorry! read more

What we liked: The little window where you can see the cooks making your food was nice. The home fries were delicious with a surprising dose of healthy mixed in, rather than just greasy potatoes they had peppers, onions and I believe sweet potatoes mixed in. The tomato was delicious as well! The servers were friendly. The location was right downtown in walking distance from our hotel (right over the bridge from the baseball stadium). We were sat right away and did not have to wait. What we wish was different: The coffee cups were TINY, it's no wonder that the table next to us came in with Starbucks. It would take like 5 refills to get a normal amount. Although we liked that you could see the cooks, we did not like seeing our food sit in the window for literally like 10 whole minutes. Even worse, we saw two other servers come look at the food and walk away (probably when they realized it wasn't their table). I came very close to getting up and grabbing my own plate, I probably should have too because by the time I got it it was luke warm. Oh well, probably just a bad day for the servers, I will only deduct 1 star and hope for a better experience next time. read more

The food here is amazing with very little wait while it seemed packer. And our waitress Airica C was so great and attentive to us on a very busy day. We saw her hard work and hope everyone can appreciate her :) read more

No wait. Open tables. Nice, clean space. Expensive (median $16 meal before tip/tax). Nice presentation read more

25 minute wait (given, it was quite busy at the time)but now waiting more than 30 minutes after ordering, with no check-in for more coffee, water, whatever, and no food. The place has filtered out to only about 10 tables with patrons, and most of them do not have food in front of them. I am sure there are better options in the area. Save yourself the hassle and go someplace else. read more

Fantastic large plates of food! A must visit when I. Downtown Pittsburgh! Mixed berries waffle with a side of crunchy bacon is the one to get! You will not be disappointed. read more

Dirty! Toilet and bathroom floor look as if they haven't been cleaned in weeks. Revolving door as well- covered w streaks and fingerprints. Again- not cleaned in weeks. I wonder how often they clean the kitchen??? Yikes. Can't remember ever seeing such a dirty restaurant. read more

We stopped here during a work conference at the convention center. It's close, walking distance. The menu is extensive and has lots of tasty options, we could barley choose just 1 meal each! We didn't have to wait, but we went during the week. I can imagine this place is probably busy during prime time on the weekends. The food was really good! Made quick and tasted great. Our server was very sweet. My only complaint would be that I ordered the "French toast" actually anticipating French toast. When I received a waffle I was a bit bummed. Same with the "biscuits and gravy".... Waffles lol. I mean.. I know it's waffles incaffinated but they may have taken it a bit far for me personally. Everything was still really good though! read more

Oof... we made the mistake of not getting to the restaurant until mid-morning on a Saturday. The wait was about 40 minutes, which the length that the manager predicted. But we made the right decision to stay and not to try somewhere else. The waffles were worth the wait! Light, tasty, perfectly cooked, great toppings (I had all berries but my wife was a little more adventurous by having sausage gravy on half and fruit on the other half). Of course they have (what is now standard) chicken and waffles but there are so many more choices. Our server was pleasant and helpful, and the manager made sure to check in on all the customers. I'll call ahead to get in the waiting list earlier next time, but I will be back! Go check it out!! read more

Visited on a Wednesday around 9 am. Was seated quickly and ordered the Breakfast Magic waffle. Waffle was served in about five minutes. Maybe the best waffle I've ever had. Fluffy, crispy and delicious. Egg was cooked perfectly. Next time I'm in Pittsburgh, I'm coming back. read more

We have been eyeing this place for a couple of days and decided we'd come in for an easy Monday Brunch. Kassie (the hostess) was a gem, very sweet and attentive, she sat us right away only for servers to run circles around us. Once our Server (Megan S) finally came over she did not seem very happy to be there. Not only was she rude I also never saw her again after our food was delivered by Kassie. I walked up to her and asked if she planned on continuing to serve us today she then rolled her eyes in my face and said "what can I get you" I just walked away because I'm from Miami and I have experienced awful service before but Megan was almost impressively awful. I asked for the manager but he was working in the kitchen and did not want to both him with nonsense. Moral of the story, I believe Megan should find another career path and Kassie needs to be promoted. read more

Everyone was hustling. The staff were literally running, but it was over 10 minutes before someone came to our table. When we finally ordered, it was an omelet for one order and two eggs with spinach for the other. That's it. No drinks were ordered. We left after about 50 minutes and had not been served and our waitress only came to our table once during that time. They don't have the capacity to serve the number of tables they have. read more

Our experience here was totally five stars. We had a large party coming to town and called a few months ahead of time to see if they could accommodate a large group reservation. They were totally able to support our group, and provided prompt and attentive service while we were visiting. Everyone in our party found something they liked on the menu, including the gluten-free and vegan guests; The gluten-free, dairy-free megaberry waffle was one of the best breakfast dishes I've had at a restaurant in ages. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything by going gf/df. I also loved that they have almond milk, and they made a great latte. We had other party members get chicken and waffles, and omelettes, and everyone was happy. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm looking to feed a group! read more

The food was amazing as always. Our server Airica was great and was super helpful. This is a wonderful breakfast spot!

So happy we went here! The food was delicious and they give you a lot of it! I ordered a regular latte which had a brown sugar topping which was a nice surprise. I also ordered the BC breakfast but substituted the toast for 1/2 waffles since I had to try them but didn't want the sugar overkill. I also don't eat eggs so they were great at letting me substitute for that too. This is definitely a great place to go for breakfast! read more

I was walking around downtown and wanted some breakfast. I was a five-minute walk from this spot and went for it. They specialize a lot in menu items with waffles, but I wanted a regular breakfast with just eggs and a side item like bacon. The server sat me down and took my order immediately. I went with BC breakfast. The mushrooms were a great addition, and the three eggs made my meal. Generous serving of bacon and I got white toast on the side. Orange juice was good. Overall good service and food. Simple spot to stop in and have a solid breakfast. read more

This place was great. My entire calorie budget for the day but a nice treat. It's a little cramped for space sometimes but if it's nice out it's perfect. read more

When my wife and I spent a night adulting in Pittsburgh, we needed a little pick me up the next morning. I turned to the ever trusty Yelp app and Voila...Waffles INCaffeinated appeared. Now to be up front an honest, waffles aren't my go to, but after looking at the menu, curiosity struck and we had to try it. I opted for the Crab and Waffle Benedict, while my wife chose the waffles and gravy (picture coming soon). To say I was impressed is a gross understatement. The amount of crab on my plate was insane. The flavor of hollandaise, infused with crab, and a perfectly poached egg was heavenly. But that waffle....wow! The texture was not that of a normal waffle. It was slightly crispy on the outside, and pillowy and soft on the inside. The perfect vessel to absorb the gooey goodness of the dish. My wife's waffle and gravy were just as good. A great flavored pork gravy that just soaked into the waffle that ate like a biscuit, but with an unmistakable waffle taste. Then. There were the potatoes. You wouldn't believe me if I told you they were the best roasted potatoes we ever had, so you'll have to try them for yourself and see, it they definitely were the best! Every time I come back to the 'burg, Waffles INCaffeinated will be on our list to stop at! Thank you to each and every employee working there to make our visit so epic! read more

Speedy service and good food! Perfect for busy professionals to get a good meal in short time!

Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. My wife had The Country Mile and loved it. I had the Country Mile sandwich with wild mushrooms and a side of potatoes. One of my top 3 favorite breakfast sandwiches I've ever eaten. Our waiter Chris was friendly and attentive with a great personality. The only downside (and the reason this isn't a 5 star review) was the loud, irritating noise the kitchen door made each time it opened. Think nails on a chalkboard meets squeaky brakes. It was annoying and reminded me of the old movie Inner Sanctum. Hopefully the owner has it fixed soon. Assuming that happens, don't miss this place for breakfast. It's a real treat! read more

My husband and I had date night, so we traveled to Pittsburgh. In the morning as we headed out, we found Waffles, Inc. so, we are first timers. The restaurant has a cozy dinner vibe about it. Parking is tough to get, and on this morning, the wait was short. Our server, Chris, was amazing. He made us feel comfortable, provided us with recommendations, and made us laugh! He made the visit worth every penny. The food was great! We had the chicken and waffles and the Country Benedict with a side of potatoes. Everything was great! Food portions were filling, and the food was seasoned well. I especially liked that the side of potatoes were a combo of potato varieties with onions and peppers. Plates were cleaned! Five Star visit. We will be back. read more

The service here is top tier. The staff is so nice. My friends and I got the country mile breakfast sandwich and it was HUGE. Like you can't bite into it. Still delicious though. My only qualm would be that their coffee is not very good. The iced lattes were all milk and overly sweet and my plain coffee came in a teeny tiny mug. If you're going to put "INCaffeinated" in the name you need to perfect it. Overall great food and service. read more

I didn't eat all of these waffles in one visit actually it was hard to finish one. The Sausage Gravy on a Waffle outstandingly good reminded me of what I used to get at the Army dining facilities (SOS) and yes that's a compliment. The French toast comes with a cinnamon whipped cream on the side but it looked so much better cut up so I took the picture. Every morning I could eat the peanut butter and banana waffles magnated menu. read more

Food was great. Delivered to the table fast. Wait staff was very polite. Cost was good for the area and quality of service and food.

The food was so good! We had the funky monkey waffle. The Country Benedict and the veggie scramble with the breakfast potatoes, everything was delicious! Our server was London she was really sweet and recommended all this goodness! There was a large party who was waiting on there food before we got seated and while they were getting all there plates out we thought ours would get delayed but not at all the kitchen was fast and the quality was great! read more

I admittedly was disappointed by this spot. I really wanted to like it. This four star review is being generous, but is a compromise between my family's 4.5-5.0 rating and my 2.5-3.0 rating. It's a great downtown location, with at least 3 parking garages that are a short walk away and several more that are a moderate trek away. We arrived at around 10am to about 4-6 of the 25 tables full, and many of the remaining tables dirty. Our service was mediocre, at best. The food was ok, but nothing to write home about. Though, my kids loved the Funky Monkey waffle. My husband liked his Country Mile sandwich. My French toast was like warm and dry, and came out with zero toppings. I asked for the toppings, which they did bring out separately. We asked for syrup, which took quite awhile to come out "because they were being refilled." I was surprised the syrup was cold... if I pay $13 for a waffle, I expect warm syrup. The inside was dirty. Not filthy, but even for a street side restaurant it definitely needed some TLC. Maybe our visit was just a dud, but I won't be returning here any time soon. read more

Short walk from our hotel and their website allows you to put your party on the waitlist ahead of time. Once we got there, I informed the host and they were seated within a few minutes. There was a great selection on the menu, both sweet and savory! Everything was delicious and we would definitely go back the next time we visit Pittsburgh again! read more

The food was delicious. Portions were smaller in size than we expected based on photos. They were seriously understaffed. The server had been there 2 weeks. She was attentive and polite. Unfortunately, she didn't know the food too well. We would return again! read more

Food served on dirty plates and pushy waitress I am visiting Pittsburgh and came here today for breakfast. I ordered a southern waffle and it arrived surprisingly quickly. The food and toppings appeared to be strewn about and the dollop of cream cheese was smeared on the side. But worst of all, the plate was certainly not clean. Since I ordered a savory waffle there was no need for cherry cream, but noticed bits of it on a corner. Also found that the plate had a thin brown caking on the center, where the waffle hadn't touched. Having a dirty plate felt disgusting To make it worse, my waitress Chelsea brought the check while I was barely halfway into the food, even though the place was half full and kept checking on me to finish. Will not recommend read more

Love that you can get a beer with your breakfast! The servers are nice and the ambiance is great!

Was very impressed with the meal here. It's a small spot right in downtown Pittsburgh that we heard good things about so decided to try. The omelets were delicious and very flavorful. The Mayo sauce drizzled on top was SO good. The home fries were a mixture of potato types and very crispy and tasty! If I am ever in the area, I would definitely come back to try their waffles or other types of food read more

Atmosphere - just OK. located in a portion of the former Kaufmann's store, the restaurant has an modern, almost industrial, feel. We were greeted promptly and seated at a 4 top. The restaurant is fairly small, with about 15-20 4 tops. The one wall is all glass, which makes the restaurant bright. Chairs are molded plastic. Service - average. Our server was not overly attentive and we kept having to ask for things. Food - very good. Although the restaurant has a focus on waffles, Omelettes and French Toast are two of a few alternative offerings. I ordered a waffle with "blueberry sauce", which I enjoyed. The waffle was light and airy. Coffee is served in small (6 oz?) mugs, so we were frequently asking for a refills. Value - average. Breakfast came to over $30 for two. Which is a little steep considering the limited amount of food ordered. read more

We managed to get ourselves on the waiting list for a table for brunch at Waffles INCaffeinated. We arrived at the restaurant just as our table was ready. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. For our food, we each ordered a variety of their waffles. One of us ordered the Benedict, one the breakfast magic, one the chicken and waffles, and I myself ordered the sampler with a little bit of sweet and savory. I enjoyed being able to sample a little bit of four different types of waffles. We all agreed that the waffles texture was so light and fluffy. When the mood for a waffle strikes, this would definitely be my go to spot in the Pittsburgh area. read more

Was not expecting much of this place, but it was pleasantly surprising! The chicken and waffles were the delicious. The chicken was juicy, and the waffles were fluffy and delicious. Coffee was really good too. Service was great as well! Overall 10/10 read more

Decent breakfast spot. There was a good size menu centered on waffles but they also had other options as well. Lots of sweet AND savory choices. The lower stars is because the food took quite a long time to get out. Also our server was unfortunately not great. We went without drinks or refills multiple times despite having asked. Really nothing too special about the ambiance. It could definitely use some more character or warmth. I do recommend the house latte. Very good. read more

I was downtown anyway and was in the mood for a waffle. I had a mega berry waffle. The service was excellent and super fast. The waitress was extremely friendly and upbeat. I do not particularly care for the location as it is hard to park. If you are downtown anyway and nearby it is definitely worth a trip. I personally prefer the other locations of Waffles Inc that are not downtown as there is no parking issues. read more
