Breakfast of Champions: The Best Waffles in Sharqiya!

Who knew we had so many waffle spots?

The moment I sunk my fork into the waffle I immediately cringed: it was crazy soggy. But, man was I pleasantly surprised when I pushed through to my first bite. Hands down the best waffles I’ve had in town! The reason it’s not crunchy is because it’s drenched in heavenly syrup, but the corners still keep their crunch.

Served with strawberries, their crazy-good ice cream AND drizzled with Nutella, G Glace’s waffles dare you to say anything bad about them. They had a very unique wafer-like flavor and the crunch was great. Only thing that made me confused was that I was served three quarters of a waffle. Don’t get me wrong, it looked gorgeous, but where’s that fourth quarter?

This came as a huge surprise to me, but Waffle Way’s waffles are actually pretty good. The waffle itself was perfect, but the chocolate drizzled on top was not exactly high quality. Still, it didn’t stop me from enjoying them. Good job, Waffle Way!

It was served exactly like the picture on the menu, so five cool points for that! The ice cream on top was very delicious, and if you like fruits on your waffle this will make you happy. The waffle itself was decent, but nothing special.

Presentation was nothing special, it tasted slightly eggy, but the crunch was on point. It’s served sprinkled with powdered sugar and maple syrup on the side. Overwhelmingly underwhelming.

It was love at first sight, until I bit into it. I think the sound of my heart breaking was audible to those sitting around me. Way too crunchy that it felt almost hard, tasted like too many eggs were used in the batter and to top it all off (or actually not), definitely not enough syrup served.

Have Krispy Kreme donuts laying around but craving waffles? Waffle them! Not your average waffles, but they still taste pretty good and are a nice twist on a staple. The crunch is out of this world!
