Patrick & Kat at the front of house were phenomenal. Even with a ton of orders, they managed things flawlessly and were super polite. Every order is obviously made fresh and takes some time to come out of their visibly small but efficient kitchen. But boy oh boy, the food was everything I hoped for and then some. We ordered one sweet (half moon, chocolate sauce, nutella, powdered sugar, strawberries) & one savory waffle (half moon tater tot, scrambled eggs, sautéed onions & peppers) and they were worth the 15 minute wait. It does get randomly busy on weekend mornings so plan to wait for a table. What an experience in RVA read more

Went here on a Sunday morning. There is no dedicated parking space; it will on the street. The spot is cozy and I imagine when it gets busy, there won't be enough seats for everyone. There are a variety of waffles to choose from. You can also customize your own. Their waffles were good but not extraordinary. Piggy egg berry waffle had bacon, eggs, strawberry and blueberries. Grandma waffle had eggs, breaded chicken strips, strawberry and blueberries. House chicken and waffle is breaded chicken tenders with Cap'n Crunch on top. You can get the waffles half or whole. Service was quick and staff were friendly. read more

I paid $27 for two waffles. They opened up three bags: one for the frozen premade tenders, one bag for tater tots, and one bag for pancake mix. I gave this place two stars because, honestly, for the price we paid, we were really let down. We had a tater tot waffle and a plain waffle (just dusted with powdered sugar), plus chicken tenders, and it was all just reheated frozen food. The tenders were cold on the inside and tasted like frozen tenders dropped straight into grease. One bright spot was there was one super friendly person inside, but the rest of the counter staff were pretty dismissive and rushed us through ordering, even though we were the first ones there and excited to try. If we were looking for a new go-to spot, this is definitely not it. read more

Fantastic! They have gluten free waffles on a dedicated waffle Iron with GF chicken nuggets. Super friendly staff that are knowledgeable about gluten allergies. Food was very tasty! read more

I love places like this - local, creative, low key and friendly. On a long walk with the pup and craving something sweet. It was by chance we were near the place and decided to try it out. There is a huge menu of all kinds of creative waffle with fixings. There is sweet, savory and sweet savory! I chose the latter with a captain berry waffle. It has captain crunch, blueberries, chocolate sauce and bacon bits. I like the mixture of savory and sweet, though I didn't get any flavor out of the powdered form captain crunch. The inside is, just like any old building, tight and busy. So I enjoyed sitting outside with the pup on a beautiful sunny day. read more

Great location . Really good coffees . Went to Richmond downtown and was looking for a good coffee spot and wanted breakfast .. found this shop. From outside it didn't look like a breakfast restaurant but the indoor was really good . Lots of seats inside and outside to sit and eat . Asked for a latte with extra shot and it was really good . They obviously had tons of waffles but I'm not a big waffle guy :( I like bagels and other breakfast varieties but they didn't have it. Wish my kids came for waffles here , since there were tons of varieties and not that expensive ... parking was tough. Had to park few blocks away (paid parking) to come to this place . Nice experience overalll. read more

Hidden gem for some breakfast right in the heart of downtown Richmond! I went with the double liege pearl sugar waffles with strawberries and powdered sugar and these gems were an amazing option. Fresh and bursting with flavor, you'd never get tired of going back to these waffles time and time again. Another guest in our party had a full Belgian waffle that came with Oreos, M&Ms, strawberries, powdered sugar and whipped cream and my, oh my, was this waffle something to marvel at. Despite a valiant attempt, about a quarter of the waffle was left standing by the time the white flag was raised. Another guest has a Belgian Waffle with blueberries, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal crumbles and whipped cream and big praise came with this offering, as well. We also split a quarter hash brown waffle for the table which was dynamite and left us wondering why we have never made this at home ourselves. Time to give it a shot! Super friendly staff and the service was fast. Cute little spot with some tables and chairs, some counters and stools and a great music playlist being played while enjoying breakfast. The menu is impressive and includes savory and sweet options and scanning the room it was pretty much split down the middle in terms of what people were going for. read more

I loved this meal so much. The waffles are fluffy and light. The half moon is the perfect amount for breakfast. I got the chicken and waffle with egg and chorizo. I already want another one. My friend got a gluten free waffle and was very pleased as well. It's a small shop so keep in mind you wanna be in and out semi quickly. I did not get to try their lattes this time but they all sounded delicious. Everyone working was welcoming and helpful. I would recommend this business to others. read more

We didn't grab any photos but trust me, this quaint little place is fabulous and has historic charm! Perfectly crunchy waffles with high quality toppings. I purchased the 1/2 western which has queso, tons of spicy jalapeños, dried tomatoes and a green pepper onion medley with soft scrambled eggs on top of a half waffle. The flavor blend was a 10/10. My husband and kiddos got the country breakfast waffle with fried chicken and gravy on top of a waffle and it was fabulous too! The coffee selection is pretty tasty too. You won't be let down if you get a pistachio latte! Their staff is friendly and efficient! They will right anything it if it isn't made to perfection and do it joyfully. They operate as a cohesive happy team! Check it out and let me know if you faired just as good as we did at this small business restaurant in downtown Richmond! read more

This place was great! I'd give 5 stars but we had to wait quite a while for food ( more than 30min - but, we couldn't be upset because it was crazy busy)! The staff were friendly and accommodating. Standing room only inside (but we were able to eat outside), and the waffle dishes were die for. My kids proclaimed them the best waffles ever (x2 make your own with whipped cream, sprinkles and assorted kid toppings); my husband got the half meats and I got the half veggie. I practically inhaled mine! Definitely a must eat if you're in Richmond. read more

This was our second time having breakfast at the Waffle Shop. The food, first and foremost, is amazing. Traditional and innovative dishes are always available. I tend to go more for hearty traditional, but my dining companions definitely went for the sweet treats. Seating is very limited, but be patient as the turnover is quick. Also, they have baked goods available, but they sell out fast. read more

A unique experience and great waffles and coffee in a quaint old space downtown. Service was good, but it was self serve.

We are always on the hunt for good Waffles and Capitol Waffle did not disappoint It was a hard week for us with the loss of a precious family member, rushed travel from Florida and the emotional drag of grief So for those who don't know I am Vegan so rushed travel means no time to research and no time prepare food for travel. so I went without a real meal for 3 days and having a tossed salad is not a real meal yet for 3 days that was all I had. One meal per day and it was a tossed salad So finding Vegan waffles for breakfast was such a treat! I had multiple choices and my husband who wanted chicken and waffles could order that as well. The hours are perfect for breakfast and the coffee was excellent The service was very good, the young lady at the front explained the options and the service was quick and perfect for the morning read more

The waffle batter is boring can make these at home with toppings.

People who love to eat are always the best people. ~Julia Child #yelpreview #richmondva #sanvalentin Happy Valentine's Day-- this past weekend, I spent it in my dad's hometown of Richmond, Virginia. My final morning, my friends and I decided to brunch at the @capitolwaffleshop. What an excellent choice!! It's an intimate breakfast spot that specializes in waffles sweet and savory, coffees and mimosas plus other brunch related items. You arrive and can order either at the counter or with the QVR Code. I use the code because it looked much easier and faster, especially with a line at the counter. Torn -- I was torn between ordering a sweet waffle with fruit, ice cream and whip cream or a savory waffle topped with eggs, sausage and vegetables. I decided to be adult about my selection and order the savory waffle with a pineapple mimosa to keep it company. The prices were reasonable, the waffles were freshly made and the service was cheerful and friendly. I'm glad my friend happened upon this place and we made a plan to eat here, it was an awesome brunch and very satisfying experience. If you are visiting Richmond, I recommend you stop and enjoy this delicious brunch spot. Travel often, eat and live deliciously. read more

This is my new favorite breakfast place downtown. The people here are very friendly and the waffles are delicious! I got the hashbrown tot waffles, chicken and waffles, and the for meat sake waffles. My favorite was the hashbrown tot waffles, and the chicken tenders were sooo good. The meat waffles were good as well but was a tad bit salty for me. Overall, loved this place and will definitely be back to try their other waffles! read more

Really great waffle. Texture was soft and they were generous with the fruit toppings which is sometimes hard to come across. The only thing that would've made this five stars is if the syrup couldn't been heated up. I was informed they didn't have any microwaves or anything and I guess not everyone prefers very hot syrup with their waffles but I do. read more

Best hangover food in RVA! Delicious waffles with super unique options. I love that they offer both savory and sweet choices. This is a place where you order at the counter and seat yourself, giving it a super chill vibe (though it may be difficult to find a seat during rush hours). The coffee is great as well (I personally like the raspberry latte) and the service has always been outstanding. read more

I've been here a couple of times and I really like the waffles here! They have a lot of different choices on the menu, from savory waffles with chicken or eggs and cheese, to sweet flavored waffles with Nutella and fruit. They have a lot of different toppings and the flavors are all so unique. You can also build your own waffle! The plates are reasonably priced, ranging from $9-12. This is definitely a great spot for a brunch out with friends because of the price and everyone can find something they like! I got the Western Waffle with eggs, queso, jalapeños, and sun dried tomatoes. It was really good and very filling. My only complaint is that there is not a lot of outdoor seating and it does take a while for the waffles to come out, but with staff shortages overall and it being a busy Saturday morning, it wasn't too much of an issue! read more

Very small quaint restaurant. It was packed and the employees were doing their best being they were short staffed. I ordered an iced tea but was given an option of juice or soft drink because the tea was two days old per the employee. I thank her and got something different. I just went simple because the menus is a bit overwhelming but I loved that there were options! I just got the waffle with fresh strawberries. read more

This was a surprising place to visit. We initially were looking for breakfast sandwiches but decided to try this waffle place. The location is small but they have maximize their space and do have indoor and outdoor seating. Right downtown you'll need to find parking on the side. Service was great! Staff was really nice. You can order up on the counter or via QR code. The food was just perfect. I had a Chorizo and queso savory waffle. It's a half a waffle with chorizo, queso, and eggs. Every bite was perfection. They have $5 mimosa pints. Decided to skip on the mimosas but will definitely try them next time. Will be returning! read more

Good waffles and friendly staff but the breakfast was really just OK. The chicken and waffle dish that is the mainstay was oddly lacking in flavor or sweetness given that it was covered in powdered sugar. The western waffles was good, but also not great. The peppers and onions were overshadowed by sun-dried tomato and jalapeños. Also, it was another dish that sounded great but generally lacked flavor. And to eat it you just get a super cheap set of a plastic fork and knife that make eating the waffles a chore. The staff was great and I like the ideas they have on the menu but execution could be better. read more

Food and portion were very good, you do have a wide range of varieties. The service was ok, one thing they can improve is to clean the table after a customer leaves. It should not be my job to clean my own table. Yes I will go back for some great waffles read more

Had so much hope for this place but was a little disappointed with the not at all crispy waffles. Both waffle dishes we tried came with very soggy waffles -- and I hate soggy waffles. Maybe I didn't order their best. We tired 1 spicy chicken waffle and 1 southern waffle. The spicy chicken was just regular fried chicken, they put jalapeños rings on it. read more

Super delicious and definitely recommend. I walked here but there's street parking and parking garages around. Staff was super friendly and the service is really quick. You can either order up front or through a QR code on the table. I ordered a house mimosa which was $5 and a For Meats Sake Waffle which came with egg, Chorizo, bacon and fried chicken. Came super loaded ane everything was so good, the meat mixture by itself was a tad salty but combined with the large, crispy waffle was perfect. They had individually wrapped silverware and a large bottle of syrup on the table. I ordered a Raspberry Machiato to go which was also really good. I loved it here and it was a great brunch experience! Cute decor and they sell t-shirts as well. read more
