Goat in the Headlights
Ashley M.

I'm not sure why it took us so long to go here! So if you've been hesitating, this is your sign to go get a killer waffle! The goat cheese, avocado, and egg waffle was soo savory, creamy, and delicious. A fun alternative to breakfast bagels!

Super friendly staff, the waffles were fresh and delicious. We got seated right away and the food came out 5 minutes later.

Tiramisu waffle

Overall not impressed. They have savory waffles, in between and sweet. Every the savory items are on a sweet waffle which is very odd. I had the goat in the headlights and it wasn't great. Coffee is tasty, side of bacon good. Service nice. My friends had the tiramisu waffle which he said was way too sweet. The authentic was good and simple. Overall wouldn't come here again.

Menu 10/2019

I love waffles (it's in my top 5 foods) so whenever we go anywhere on vacation, waffles are always one of my top searches. Off the waffle showed up on my yelp search and after checking out the menu, I was like yup, we going here. There were things I knew all 3 of us were gonna love. It was pretty busy when we got here on Sunday around 10 but I guess people sleep in and eat breakfast later. We are actually early eaters but this place was on the way to where we were going so 10ish just happened to be the time we ended up here. We got a table outside since inside was full but luckily it wasn't too cold out. My son loves Nutella (and so does my husband) so we got the wiffle for him which was Nutella and bananas. I ordered the Brie prepared which was had pears, Brie cheese, and onion jams with maple balsamic drizzled over it. One of the workers suggested the goat in headlights so my husband ordered that. We shared all the waffles... let me take that back. My husband and I shared but my son ate his wiffle all by himself. We did sneak a bite tho and it was yummy. I wasn't a fan of the chèvre cheese on my husbands waffle but I'm not the biggest soft cheese fan. The waffle itself was great alone and I'm wondering if maybe I should get a plain one next time we go here. On second thought I'll probably get one of the signature waffles and then a plain one on the side. Can't ever have too many waffles!

We ordered a dish called, A goat in the headlights, which was very tasteful. Loved the flavor, it was different & left me wanting more lol!! Our first time trying this place and won't be our last. Features both indoor and outdoor seating, However we took our order to go. Just a note, limited staff so be patient! Oh, don't forget to get a sticker.

Savory and plain with strawberries and syrup.
Veronica A.

Delicious! Friendly and fast service. I ordered the savory and my sister had a plain with strawberry and Vermont syrup and we both cleaned our plates. All of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. it doesn't look like much from the outside but we spotted it from the side of the road and especially liked the picnic tables on the side to be able to sit outside. We were super happy with our stop.

This place was DELICIOUS!! Good food and good portion. We got: Waffle topped with pear, carmelized onions, melted brie cheese with maple balsamic reduction with a side of braised pork belly. Waffle with chevre, avocado, two sunnyside up eggs, two bacon strips and real Vermont maple syrup Would definitely come here again!

Goat cheese avocado .. hid brown avocado under the eggs .. no thx
Jon W.

Was excited to try this place with my kid on his birthday .. had 5 people and all liked there food . I got the goat cheese and avocado item on the menu . Most of it was good but I cannot excuse hiding gross brown/black avocado under the eggs I would have paid more for actually good avocado . The pics I posted looked pretty good but I didn't even feel like posting the gross middle of my half good breakfast because it just made me sad . Who does this nonsense ? Save your pennies but I will save money by not coming here again . Shame because I liked about half my breakfast .

The orange juice is so amazing, fresh squeezed and you can TELL!
Kira A.

Alright, so this place is good, but don't get my stars wrong up there.. maybe Pinterest, blogs and such hyped this place up just a bit too much! Xx Upon walking up to this place I was excited, this was on a road trip bucket list.. and we were finally going!! It was a Tuesday morning around 12pm and not very busy- about half the restaurant was taken up. We were all excited to order so we sat at a table and looked over the menu. I saw they had orange juice that was freshly squeezed and it was the best part of this experience. (Pictures attached) It came within 30 minutes and looked great but wasn't our full order- it came out half and half about 5 min apart and our orange juices came AFTER our food LOL. My husband ordered and actually paid for two extra syrup glasses (1$e) that didn't come and my meal didn't even come with one for a 10.50$ waffle. Ugh. So we enjoyed our meals- I will say the waffle was good but it does seem pre maid and refrigerated beforehand. The outside wasn't as expected, I was expecting a sugary light but crispy crust as described.. it was almost too soft on the outside and grainy inside. My children's omelet egg wasn't cooked fully and we normally don't eat undercooked eggs from a establishment when traveling. I was disappointed. My husband and sister in law liked theirs though. A cool thing is they have waffles for purchase to take home right in the front! They're 15$ for 6 plain waffles. (I wouldn't pay that, but I am a decent cook). After finishing our meals we were getting ready to go, we had paid! We paid good money for breakfast! We were told we bus our own tables. After already tipping our 20% I was a little ticked off to be honest. I have paid way less for a meal and received better service. I will not return when visiting our family in Springfield OR. Sorry y'all! Stick in your PJs at home and hang out!

The self-fulfilling prophecy and strawberries and cream with nutella

The service was amazing! Such a kind server taking care of everyone. The food is such a classic and delicious. So glad they are open again. Made my morning.

Goat in the headlights! Goat cheese, over easy egg, avocado and paprika with basil chiffanade on top. Amazing flavor burst!
Melinda G.

Was craving a good waffle. Stopped in here to kick off Spring Break. I had the "Goat in the headlights". Nothing short of spectacular flavors with a perfectly cooked waffle. I had my egg over easy instead of the sunny side smiling. It had goat cheese and a special paprika blend with basil chiffonade on the top. Wow! I practically inhaled that goat. I highly recommend Off the Waffle. You can have a sweet, savory or somewhere in between off their menu. Unique and definitely makes you crave more. The service is always superb.

New to town, asked a coworker what are some must-have restaurants this place was near the top of his list! Was not disappointed! I came in late on Sunday morning atmosphere is so simple and cute, staff is very friendly and respectful that I was not feeling too social. Menu is very straightforward, I went for the local favorite the "Goat in Headlights". (liège waffle topped with goat cheese, avo, 2 eggs, spices, and honey) I got my self serve water and coffee (love) and sat in the corner booth, by the time I could open my book and finish one page my food was out hot & gorgeous! Recommend this dish and dining experience 10$ well spent thank you!

See all

The 2540 Willamette street location is closed. The space is for lease. Off the Waffle downtown is still open and great.

The waffles are fun. That's pretty much it with this place. It's kinda expensive for the total lack of good service.

While we were on the wait list for dinner across the street at Gianni's we decided to walk around…read moreand take a look at the other stores in the area here by the UO campus. I had the intentions just to browse until I saw their cheese cake brownie. I had no idea what Gianni's had on their dessert menu and I didn't care to wait and find out. I chose that before we went to eat, and we had dinner I dug in and it was love at first bite. Since I'm not a coffee drinker I never step into small cafes on my own or look around to check out pastries, but I'm glad I made the exception here.

Sweet Life Petite is the mini-version of the original Sweet Life. This one's located on Campus…read more(well, not technically on campus but like right by campus). It is indeed pretty small; there's an "in" door and an "out" door so and since the line can form pretty quickly. They're pretty fast though, so even if the line is close to the door (which it was once when I visited) you'll still be out within about 10 minutes or fewer. One of my favorite things from Sweet Life are their morning pastries--specifically, their cinnamon roll and the lemon cream bun. Both are amazing, and whilst the cinnamon roll is my personal favorite, if you have to choose get the lemon cream bun. It's different from something you've tried before; you can't get one of these everywhere and it's amazing. Their tiramisu is good too, and the some of their other cakes. Check out their specials--there's always something good to choose from. This location has no dedicated parking, just a few spots on the street (shared with Prince Puckler's, the pizza place, and other businesses around). There's a lot of outdoor seating, nice for warm summer evenings.

How can one turn down homemade ice cream? Not me! I had a single scoop of banana caramel in a cup…read moreand I think I will never have a banana ice cream anywhere else but here. The ice cream here is so creamy and full of natural flavor. In my ice cream, you can taste the fresh vanilla, bananas and the super gooey caramel sauce. Yum!

There are certain places that don't just serve food they serve time itself. Prince Puckler's Ice…read moreCream is one of those places. I'll never forget my grand adventures here as a teenager. We're talking early 80s... a whole different world. You had folks still hanging on to the 70s like it owed them money bell-bottoms, wild personalities, and people that were just downright funny without even trying. I swear, half the entertainment wasn't even the ice cream, it was just sitting there watching humanity stroll by in all its glory. But let's not get it twisted the ice cream absolutely hits the spot. This is that soul food for the student grind. When studying runs too long, when the day's been rough, when the Oregon heat sneaks up on you, or when you just need a little reset... this is the place. Scoop after scoop, flavor after flavor, it never lets you down. And being right there by the University of Oregon? Come on. There's just something about grabbing a cone on campus that feels right. Timeless. Like it belongs there. Customer service has always been solid, the vibe is iconic, and the whole place carries this charm that refuses to fade. Some things change over the years... this place just keeps being exactly what it should be. Five stars. Always has been. Go Ducks !!
