    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.

    Megaberry, BC Breakfast

    Ordered: Megaberry, BC Breakfast Came here at around 11 and was glad to have some brunch. We ordered the Megaberry Waffle and the BC Breakfast. The Megaberry Waffle was amazing. Waffle was fluffy, berries were sweet and tart, and nothing was overpowering the other. Instead, the flavors blended perfectly together. If you like sweet breakfasts, this is the one for you! On the other hand, I also enjoyed the BC Breakfast, but was kinda sad when our bacon came out extra extra extra crispy (burnt). On me for not asking for a new one, but we still enjoyed our breakfast nonetheless. Toast was buttered, eggs were runny, mushrooms were mushrooms, and the home fries were a nice touch. Service was great, our waiter was really nice and welcoming. The place is pretty decently sized and there's plenty of seating.

    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.

    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!

    Chicken and Waffles
    Hannah M.

    I will absolutely come back to Waffles INCaffeinated next time I'm in Pittsburgh! I got the chicken and waffles- it was hands down the best I've ever had The chicken tenders were just that, tender and not too much breading. I could tell they were hand breaded and fresh. The waffle was light and fluffy, and soaked up the delicious maple syrup perfectly. I appreciated the lightness of the syrup, as it doesn't have corn syrup in it. The pecans were the perfect touch, and what brought it to the next level for me. Our server, Loraleigh was the best! She welcomed us in with a smile and offered excellent service. Very attentive and kind throughout our visit. You're in good hands with her. 10/10

    The waffle sampler and loaded fries was BOMBBBB!!

    I have to say the service was F******* horrible! But the food was amazing, but the experience I had I wouldn't go back

    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.

    Went here for breakfast. The place was small yet clean. The server was very nice and attentive. I thought the food was just ok!

    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.

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.

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.

Just really good and a really fair portion. When the two are paired together, it's just exquisite.
