OMG the brunch food here is absolutely phenomenal!!! The waffles are Belgian style and also so amazing! I got the Turkey Florentine Benedict ($13.95). The turkey is not your deli turkey from a package, it was real shaved thick turkey breast. The eggs were perfectly poached, avocado was fresh and the Hollandaise was lemony and perfectly rich. Coffee ($3) was also surprisingly great, free refills too! The cheddar and leek waffle itself it came on is dense and doughy and flavorful and like nothing I ever had. Menu consists of lots of items, sweet and savoury waffle sandwiches and creations. It's located in this cool marketplace, good amount of seating too! Staff is very nice read more

Wake Up And Waffle - Turkey Florentine Benedict ($13.95) and a Coffee ($3). Love the mug :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD!!! i never leave reviews, but downloaded yelp specifically for wake up and waffle. although it WAS a little pricey, i can't recommend the food enough. my husband and i spent $50 for the two of us, but i have no regrets. their turkey club (without bacon) was DELICIOUS and their waffles are the best i have ever had, no joke. i ordered the strawberry one! their red-skinned potatoes also have a unique seasoning compared to any place i've been to. great service as well. try Wake Up And Waffle!! especially if you're in the area for cedar point. i don't think you'll be disappointed read more

Wake Up and Waffle is one of the newer breakfast offerings in downtown Sandusky and we are glad it is here! This isn't your typical breakfast place and these certainly aren't your typical waffles! Waffles here are Liege waffles made of dough not batter and they include tiny cube of sugar to make them sweet. Additionally they offer chive and garlic waffles if you're wanting something savory. When it comes to drinks there are some unique offerings including fresh squeezed orange juice and carnival lemonade (you literally watch them make it in front of you). The milk comes from Hartzler Dairy in Wooster served in nostalgic class bottles. They also offer several beers, wines, and other spirits. Whether you are getting a basic waffle, eggs Benedict, the monte crisco, or the Elvis, you'll be satisfied. Just be prepared to wait a bit as the service is a bit slow. Pro tips: 1) put your name in about 30 minutes before you want to eat and come early 2) if you're interested in waffle donuts you have to order them a day ahead read more

Just returned from breakfast at WU&W and WHAT A TREAT! The ambiance is comfortable, the service was exceptional, and the food was spectacular. We enjoyed the eggs with potatoes and waffle option. The eggs were perfectly cooked, as were the potatoes, but, as promoted, the waffle was really special. We lingered over a quite fine, freshly brewed cup of coffee (and got one to go). Highly recommend. read more

We popped in here on a Sunday morning and were able to get a seat immediately. Our server was wonderful and everything was prompt. We had planned to order their traditional Benny but the waitress shared they had a sausage gravy Benny special. My husband and I both ordered that and were kinda disappointed. What we thought was an entirely savory dish, was not. Their sausage gravy is almost unbearably sweet...maybe there's maple syrup or something in it. Everything else was good, just don't recommend that menu item unless you like sweet gravy. read more

This is a cute little bistro brunch place. I've been here a couple times. Service is fast and they are all very attentive never an issue. Today my order was Just maybe not what I expected. I figured the sandwich would be more melted like panini style. The waffles were good and the soup was nice and hot with small chunks of tomato in it and velvety. Definitely be back. read more

Wake Up And Waffle - The tomato bisque and triple grilled cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

In general really bad experience, the host and server extremely rude, it took too long for the food, when we wanted to leave they obliged us to wait until they finish the food and take it Togo, also the quality of the food was awful... if someone is looking for good places to eat please don't go there! read more

So sometimes when you try a new place you kinda have a blame on yourself of why didn't I venture there sooner? Yeahhhh that was totally one of those with this right here! This spot is the front shop in the awesome marketplace that's downtown basically walking distance to anything that's in the area. Of the many different options I totally went with a garlic waffle, with cheddar cheese, pickles, bacon, and eggs it was a scrumptious mix of everything that was just whats good as each element was perfect in it's own way. I've had waffle sandwiches at a good amount of places but they didn't do it right the waffle wasn't the right consistency but that is not the case here at all as my waffle was prefect it held up the sandwich and was full of flavor just the way it should be! Overall this is an awesome little spot that's close to home so you know I'll be back here again at some point this time I'll make up a new waffle concoction because there's a ton of yummy possibilities with all the goodies that they have. read more

The food was good the service was very friendly. We didn't have to wait long at all for our.

If you are looking for a great breakfast, on the water, you found the right place. From the Bloody Mary's to the amazing waffles. We had the Elvis, strawberry and Cookie butter waffles and had a hard time deciding which one was the best. Rarely do this but highly recommend. read more

A great place to try in downtown Sandusky! We ordered take out due to Covid, but the inside looks great! We went with the Wakie Waffle and the Eggs Benny. I think next time I'll try the Cuban. It's a great place to stop in for breakfast or lunch. read more

Food was fresh and tasty We were staying at cedar point and wanted some local food. It was a easy pickup and fair price read more

Food was amazing! Their waffles are freshly made. They make their own dough, adding Belgium pearl sugar balls to order (you can ask to withhold the sugar), then they place it in a cast-iron presser. Freshly squeezed juice, breakfast and lunch options. I would definitely eat here again! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Excellent service! read more

Lovely decor. Attentive waitstaff. Good location downtown. Their homemade sausage gravy on my gravy Benedict was surprisingly sweet. Not my groove. I think sausage gravy should be savory going to peppery if anything. More a heads up than anything else. read more

Best waffle I've ever had and really enjoyed the rest of my breakfast and freshly squeezed oj. I personally felt good vibes here and our server was funny and friendly and attentive. My gf said the eggs were the best she's ever had and also loved her waffle. Was also nice to sit outside. read more

A cute little breakfast spot in downtown Sandusky. We went on a Sunday and were sat right away even though it was pretty busy. In looking at what others ordered, I think we should have tried the chicken and waffles and one of the egg dishes. We ordered a strawberry waffle sundae, strawberry waffles and a waffle sandwich. The food was all okay...we weren't blown away. I felt like the waffle in the strawberry waffles tasted oniony like it was made in the same waffle iron as a savory waffle. The waffle breakfast sandwich was also just okay. I think we would go back again, but try different things next time. All of the bloody Mary's and mimosas also looked great, but I did not try any of those. read more

I enthusiastically recommend this gem to anyone looking for a delicious brunch. The waffles are the best I've ever had, with a crispy outside and a rich, chewy brioche speckled with crunchy Belgian sugar pearls inside. Top them with strawberries and whipped cream and add a side of chewy bacon and fresh-squeezed juice, and it doesn't get better than this. The service is friendly and fast. read more

Sunday 11:00 ish 15 -20 min wait . If you order the flight takes awhile to make. Which makes sence with amount of work goes into it. The verde and garden BM definitely not my favorite but unique fresh flavors. I liked the sausage gravy Benedict but should have ordered the classic. Very unique flavors with gravy waffles eggs etc. cute cozy great atmosphere. Looks like it's "owner operated" always the best places! Solid A read more

Fantastic breakfast option. Very quick and efficient kitchen; food was tasty, particularly the waffle - worth the upgrade from toast. Friendly and attentive staff as well. Kind of a funky downtown feel as well. read more

This review is for brunch on Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. We found Wake Up and Waffle based on a recommendation from Hotel Kilbourne. service: Erika and a guy whose name I didn't catch took care of us. Very professional and knowledgeable. bar: Unfortunately, no booze before 11am, but I can say their virgin Bloody Mary was exceptional. Serious kudos for the house made sweet pickles and beet pickled egg garnish. food: My wife went with Wakie Waffle and a couple scrambled eggs with cheese. If I need to complain, the eggs were only average. Seems like some cheese was just dropped on top? I seriously over-ordered with the Sausage Gravy Benedict. I will say, you won't get much waffle wonderfulness for all the sausage gravy goodness. details: Plenty of surface parking right outside. Schedule some extra time and walk through the Marketplace at the Cooke. Axe throwing, duck pin bowling, and high end bakery - all under one roof. Restrooms for Wake Up and Waffle are in the marketplace. read more

Changes... Changes in the atmosphere and attitudes. Changes in the way the food is presented. Some are positive, some less so. First, some positives: The waffle is thankfully unchanged. The carafe if water at each table is welcome. The addition of more bar drinks adds choices. The seating is comfortable. Now some less positive things: My English muffin wasn't tosated as much as warmed through. Zero crunch. My scrambled eggs were more like a plain omlette. One giant slab of egg. The new dining room layout is less pleasing on the inside, less welcoming. I recognize that they needed to add streamlining to the process of serving. It feels. clinical. Eat outside if possible. The atmosphere is way better. All of this being said, I still recommend eating here. Good food and reasonable pricing. I long for the good ol' days though when it was fun too. Eat here. Your mileage may vary read more

Very cute place in an old renovated building. The decor was a cute miss match of table and chairs. The menu had a lot of delicious offerings. We ordered our kids the strawberry waffle and whip. It was delicious with homemade whip on top, the only thing to make it better would have been fresh strawberries. I ordered the egg plate scrambled with sausage and potatoes. The potatoes were very well seasoned, almost over the top. My husband ordered the Monte Cristo which was phenomenal!!! It was the perfect blend of savory and sweet with the raspberry compote. This place is a great place for breakfast before going to the Islands or Cedar Point. read more

What a great find! The waffles were phenomenal, and the option of sweet vs savory made for a great variety of breakfast options. Great atmosphere and loved how synced the staff was in taking care of the customer. It was a team effort and that made for a wonderful dining experience. They are located in a great little mall with shops and historical photos of the area lining the walls. Highly recommend and will visit again the next time we are in town. read more

The food was worth the wait!! If we had not had to wait so long they would have got 5 stars from me!! The Monte Christo was so yummy!!

We were staying on a boat and craving a hearty breakfast before a day at Cedar Point... boy did this place deliver!!!!! We got breakfast sandwiches and the kids got waffles and bacon. The sandwiches were the best breakfast sandwiches we have ever had. The indoor dining space is clean, beautifully decorated and accommodating to an intimate atmosphere or a group of people. I was welcomed immediately and provided such exceptional service. We do not get to frequent the Sandusky area often, but I will always makes sure I get here. It's one of those places where you want to tell everyone, "YOU HAVE TO GO!". read more

Came here with my big family of 7 and we got seated really quickly! Service in general is super fast and easy. The food is 10/10 quality, but a bit pricey for the portion size. Super cute place, would recommend! read more

I loved everything about this place. It's a cute little vendor inside the marketplace, which has tons of Sandusky history and other vendors to look at while you wait for your table. They were super busy, which I consider a good thing, and the service was super speedy too! My girlfriend and I both got the Grilled Cheese sandwich that comes on a garlic and chive waffle and man was that the perfect brunch item! I absolutely loved that they have all of the random mugs you have in your home as their coffee mugs (one person next to me got a Christmas mug lol). Emily our server was super sweet as well. read more

A lovely place to enjoy a delicious breakfast with tasty savory and sweet waffles. Eggs Benedict served to order with hot coffee to warm you up on a cold morning. Our party ordered several different items from chicken and waffles to Eggs Benedict. One of our party required special preparation for medical reasons which they handled easily without complaint nor upcharge. We have been there twice and it is on our list of favorite places. read more

Ok, now I know what sadness tastes like. The "Wakey Waffle" was the size of my palm, just my palm, and I don't have big hands. And it was chewy, and undercooked. And awful. Even with syrup. The bacon was limp, cold and greasy. Nope. The OJ was good and fresh. The coffee was hot and good. But damn, the waffle AND the bacon sucked and I rode my bike here to get a really good breakfast. I am sad. read more

Excellent service and the best waffles! It is tucked inside a big building but definitely worth it to seek it out.

Such a neat idea of a waffle place. I'm not necessarily the biggest waffle person but I had the eggs Benedict waffle and it was amazing. And if you're not a waffle eater they do still offer other options as well as the fresh squeezed juice. It was a great place to eat before leaving town. read more

Phenomenal service, even better food! Literally so in love with this place. I will visit every time I come back to Sandusky

Food was delicious, service was phenomenal, super quick and that was on memorial day.
