    Apple Strudel Waffle
    Diala A.

    I am surprised to see that Black has a 2.8 ranking on Yelp - it was absolutely epic when I was in undergrad several years ago. I came back last week while in town for a wedding and it maybe has declined a bit but not more than 5 stars to 4 stars honestly. The waffles are still flavorful with plenty of toppings! The service was a touch slow, but it did seem they were short staffed, so not a big deal. The cafe has decent seating but the booths definitely need some updating. Overall, I enjoyed going back for the nostalgia! I think it's definitely more of a 4 star spot than the 2.8 it has currently!

    The 'naughty waffle' was a bit dry, and needed more almond butter or syrup. There was enough toppings otherwise. My bestie said the 's'mores waffle' was missing something. Could be whipped cream, or something extra besides mini marshmallows and some chocolate. I was happy with my 'baked potato waffle'. It was heavy pepper and I was good with that, but might be too much for others. I will say I think they have one of the BEST London Fog drinks here. You definitely should try it. The service wasn't anything to brag about. We didn't get a welcome, a thank you, or a goodbye. The few workers that helped us were not personable or very friendly. Personally, we felt like more of a bother. This may be small to some people, but these things mean a lot to me. I think these types or interactions or the shortcomings are more memorable than the dishes.

    I was at Rosedale mall with my daughter and niece. Started to crave coffee since we can smell the aroma in the air. I knew that I was feeling tired and decided to go sit at the food hall while the kids shop. First thing you see is this coffee booth at the entrance. I only order a white mocha, however I did notice the waffles looks delicious. There were a few tables eating the waffles. I will have to come back and try their waffles next time.

    As other reviews have mentioned, the waffles are delicious but the service is terribly slow. The service gets 2 stars, the food gets at least 4 stars, so I settled on an average of 3 for this experience. We came on Memorial Day around 12pm. They had several people dining in but there were still open tables and there was no line at the counter. We ordered some coffees and our waffles then went to sit down. Our coffees were brought out within 10-15 mins which wasn't too bad. I got a vanilla latte, my standard order at most coffee shops. This one was actually better than most vanilla lattes I've had! The vanilla flavor was strong without being overly sweet. My friend ordered an almond latte, it was supposed to be served iced but they brought it out hot. After fixing this mistake, she was super impressed with how good her drink was! Then the waiting began. The guy at the counter originally told us it would be about a 20-30 min wait, so I was expecting at least 30 mins. Once it got closer to 45 mins, it started to feel like a noticeably long wait and my husband went to ask how much longer it would be. We were informed that they were starting our waffles now, so not much longer. It took about a full hour before we got our food. This wouldn't have seemed like a terribly long time had it not been an order-at-the-counter place, plus they really didn't seem to be excessively busy. Luckily, the food was all really good when we did finally get served! I got the Apple Strudel which comes with baked apples, cinnamon, caramel, and whipped topping. The baked apples were soft and tasted delicious when combined with the caramel drizzle. The waffles themselves were soft and filling. I love that they came with tons of whipped cream on top too. My husband got the Fat Andrew which had peanut butter and bananas on top, he really enjoyed his as well. The waffles are very reasonably priced at $10 each despite being a pretty large serving size. If they could figure out how to be more efficient with their time management, I think this place could easily have an average of at least 4 stars because their coffees and waffle products are quite good. However, people come to a place like this for a quick breakfast, not a wait time that is more expected at a dine-in restaurant.

    A group of us visited on a Sunday mid-morning around 10:45am. Walked in and quickly learned its seat yourself. Thankfully we found a large table right when we walked in; it's like it was meant for us. What I was very disappointed about is we never received any type of greeting when we walked in especially because staff were not busy helping other customers. A simple hello goes along way in my book. Even when I went up to the counter to order my meal/beverage, the gal wasn't friendly and very robotic in her response. I ordered the s'mores waffle and London fog. Unfortunately, the s'mores waffle was not what I expected it to be. It was missing something like whip cream and maybe butter. Just meh. This is the first time I've had a London fog and it was the perfect amount of spice, cream, and very tasty. The restaurant is seat yourself. Menu is on the wall near the counter where you order. I felt the restaurant was a bit cluttered with plants and seating.

Of course it seemed to only take like 5 minutes for my order. Considering how busy they seemed was not a bad wait. I couldn't wait to devour my crepe. What more could I ask for with sliced strawberries, and some whipped cream, and chocolate drizzled all over my wrapped up crepe. It was almost like trying a rolled up burrito, but even better, especially since it was having breakfast for lunch. I did not leave any leftovers for later. When considering going out to eat, I felt that was a good thing. I so want to go back again, and maybe try a waffle, or two. To see what the other half of the menu tastes like. Maybe have a smoothie with my meal, since that was on the menu as well.

The inside of the shop isn't anything to write home about but it's cute and great for the atmosphere we were looking for. More of a chill vibe where you can hang out and talk, think cute coffee shop meets diner type vibe. The food was good, not amazing, but still pretty decent. A little bit speedy for what you get. in my opinion but overall pretty good. I got the biscuits and gravey which maybe had a little too much greens added on top. It messed with the texture of the rest of the dish but the flavor was there and overall I enjoyed it. All in all a solid breakfast spot. A little bit spendy, but feels pretty in line with a more traditional sit down restaurant pricing these days.
