    Sunday morning
    Pat C.

    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.

    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

    Chicken and waffles

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As an avid waffle lover I can confidently say these waffles are incredible. Whatever settings their waffle irons are on is perfect. Super fun menu and lots of options for savory or sweet waffle toppings. Great place for a casual brunch or breakfast.

    This restaurant is so cute. The drinks, the cake, and the vibe are outstanding. The cashier was super nice and helpful in recommendations. First time trying and will definitely try again.

    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

I ended up with a slice of salted chocolate caramel cake, which came with extra salted caramel, and it was delicious! I couldn't eat it all so it was nice to have the rest of the piece later at home.

That employee also completely ignored me, despite the fact that I was clearly standing there waiting to be helped. I was there to pick up a DoorDash order for someone else, but based on the way I was treated, I can guarantee you I will not be choosing to spend my own money at this establishment. I ultimately had to ask another customer who was standing in line if they knew where to pick up a DoorDash order. The entire experience was incredibly dismissive and unprofessional.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs.

I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,
