Woke up Saturday morning and wanted a waffle. My husband said get dressed I found a place. Ok, say less. We pulled up to The Foundry. We were going to Press Waffle. The menu looked and sounded delicious. I was excited and I ended up ordering the Chicken and waffles. I forgot the name of the waffle my husband got but it was the one with Strawberries, whipped cream & Nutella. The latte I ordered was supposed to have a toffee flavor but they were out of it. I opted to add the salted caramel instead. I really wanted to like it. Because who spends $40+ on food you don't want to like? However, that was not the case. I ended up eating the chicken and not the waffle. The flavor was weird. I couldn't get past the aftertaste. My husband ate most of his. He didn't really care for his waffle either. The strawberries & whipped cream were delicious. Our lattes arrived and I was excited, then upon tasting it I gagged. I have no idea what caused that. It just wasn't good. The ladies working the counter were super nice and the service was good. The Foundry that early in the morning is actually kind of peaceful. I probably won't be back though. read more

Press Waffle - Plain Liege Waffle - Waffles Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Stopped here one evening to have a nice sit down dessert. Unfortunately, when we arrived there were a number of toppings missing for some of the menu items, which really narrowed down our choices. I ended up getting the Southern Belle, which would have been a lemon curd and blueberry waffle, and asked for ice cream on top. Unfortunately, they were also out of vanilla ice cream, which would have been perfect for this dessert. While I agreed to get the chocolate ice cream (the only other available flavor), it made this dessert too sweet and I couldn't taste the lemon flavor. Our order taker was very nice and apologized for being out of so many things, but I wish I was able to have enjoyed this more. The price wasn't bad for the portion size, but this was an unsatisfactory experience for my partner and I. read more

I was walking around the foundry and smelled something sweet. I headed towards the smell and found this place. I'm not typically a waffle person, but I couldn't resist. I ordered a waffle with Nutella cookie butter, strawberries, and banana. It came out warm and fluffy, the fruit was fresh and I would 100% recommend an order again. read more

It should have been a giveaway when there was waffle cakes and stuck to the waffle iron. I ordered a build your own with cookie butter, chocolate chips and a scoop of ice cream. The waffle was SO incredibly dry and the only saving grace was when the ice cream melted it made the waffle somewhat moist. The sign advertised the waffles were sweet with sugar pearls. I couldn't taste the sweetness, but could definitely taste something burnt. For $12 I wish I would have selected a sweet treat from one of the other vendors in the food hall. Skip this place. read more

Found this place in a bustling food hall in St Louis while I was looking for a little lunch. It didn't disappoint. The food hall and the surrounding area are both thriving and loaded with a variety of shops and restaurants all in a nice walkable area. If you're considering visiting, just go ahead and do it. Parking is easy and free and there's something there for everyone. Now onto this waffle...or waffle sandwich. I couldn't decide between a taco place or this waffle place until I saw that there was a waffle monte cristo. I was sold. They cooked it up fresh and got it to me quickly and the thing was packed with flavor. So good. What's not to love about a monte cristo waffle sandwich? Great food, cool atmosphere and surrounding area, decent prices...what else can you ask for? read more

Opens at 9 am. We arrived at 9:10. Sign on register says opening late. We decided to wait. Now it's 10:01and still no sign of life. The girl that was here when we arrived, left shortly after we arrived and hasn't been seen since. I was unaware the waffle business was so lucrative they don't need the business. I guess we'll give our money to one of the other businesses. read more

You really only need to eat here when visiting City Foundry Food Hall! Belgian waffles- made with dough and sugar pearls like the real deal in Belgium!

I just was not overly impressed with my s'mores waffle and I'm letting the food lead this review. My son added Oreos. The waffle was served warm. I found what I had average. Find them in the Foundry. Friendly counter service. 4.5 rounding down. I would try again and select another waffle. read more

Press Waffle - Waffles Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Best waffles I've ever had in my 27's years of existence. 10/10 I definitely recommend coming here to eat, I will be back.

I love a good Nashville hot chicken and waffles! Living in Nashville, I knew ordering this would be a disappointment. I guess I was missing home. Hahaha. Anyways, as mentioned I tried the hot chicken and waffles with red hot riplets was Nashville meets STL (with the red hot riplets). Great concept, just not my cup of tea, price rage with tax was close to $20. Very expensive if you ask me, it was two tenders on a waffle, you can see the size compared to the pickle spear. read more

Delicious. Whatever you order is going to be frickin' great. The Belgian sugar pearls elevate these waffles beyond waffles I've ever had. Staff is friendly. The only issue I have is they're never open on time. If you're supposed to open at 9 AM or 10 AM, you need to be ready to serve right then, not drag-ass until 30 minutes past. If I were the owner, I'd be pissed. Luckily, I'm more laid back as a customer. read more

Yummmm. I love waffles & I love dessert. Come here if you're like me to find your happy medium! The churro waffle did not disappoint! Also added the scoop of vanilla ice cream on top it off!

Definitely recommend trying out Press Waffle if you're in the Foundry! read more

Amazing waffles with luxury toppings! We got the Southern Belle (lemon and blueberry) and the popular The House waffle (strawberry and chocolate). Both were very good, but the Southern Belle in particular was extremely delicious. I would recommend eating them right away--the waffles harden if you try to save them!! read more

Very quick service and order is plentiful. I had the STL waffle and it was ok, all of the extras overpowered the waffle flavor.

I always have the House Waffle and am blown away. It was absolutely amazing. Nutella, cream, strawberries, banana, and more. It wasn't too sweet for me. The combinations of textures and flavors worked together really well. The only ding is I feel like the waffles decreased in size over the years. Nevertheless, it's a staple every time I go to the Foundry. read more

Came here last summer and loved the Nutella waffle. Just came back tonight- 20 minutes before they closed and workers said they had already closed for the night. Very disappointing since we live 40 minutes away. Not sure we will be back read more

I'm not too much of a sweets person, so when I saw this option I was ALL in. While this was being made my mouth was watering as I watched. When it was served I had a big ole cheesy smile on my face- One bite and I was in heaven! I even yelled out that she did a great job- definitely recommend stopping by and trying this flavor sensation! read more

This place is such a treat! It's so different from all the other restaurant sites in this location. I got the breakfast waffle. The egg was perfect and the waffle had this amazing crunchy outer layer and the tasty soft inside layer. They had a good variety of items. Not really sure if you can mix around what's on it or not but I'm sure you can. Definitely should try if you are ever in the area. read more

Press Waffle - The American - Waffles Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Fabulous! The waffles are perfect if you care for them to be soft and cooked well. I love a sandwich so decided to go for the Cristo even though l am not much of a jam fan. The blend as is was exceptional. I would not change anything. Waffle as the sandwich filled with ham, turkey, white american cheese, and a berry jam spread! This is a recommendation if you are not starved but need something light. Depending on my appetite next time I would reorder this or try their chicken and waffles. read more

Visiting the city for a conference and after dinner was looking for something sweet and came across this spot on Yelp, of course! It's located in the Food Hall of the City Foundry which appears to be a newer area still being built out with shops and businesses. There's an Alamo Drafthouse, City Winery and other shops as you walk up. In the Food Hall, there are plenty of options for food and sweet treats. Unfortunately when we got to Press they had just ran out of vanilla ice cream. Of course, our choices were to be paired with vanilla ice cream. We just got the cinnamon roll Waffle and I got a waffle ice cream sandwich with chocolate ice cream and caramel syrup. They were okay. The cinnamon roll waffle would've been better with vanilla ice cream and I would've gotten the churro waffle that comes with vanilla ice cream. It may be worth the drive over but not sure based on our experience. read more

I love Belgium style waffles. This is a good option when in the mood. I have one problem; pre-baked waffles. I get it......during peak hours they have to keep up with demand. And so baking a batch and using a toaster/micro machine to warm them up makes sense but during lower volume times, why???? You can taste the difference.....pre-baked are stale and tougher to cut thru. Come on now! Do better! read more

Look, you've never had waffles like this. I've had some great savory waffles in my past, and some great sweet ones. I also make both styles for myself, and I was blown away, which is a rarity for me. I had never heard of this place before coming here. My son had been up to The Foundry before, and raved about this, so we had to come. The line was one of the longer ones, but not for lack of trying. These guys were hustling orders in and waffles out like a machine! Less than a few minutes after our order, the hot waffles were being delivered. Our selection was a plain, a Nutella something, the Blueberry and Lemon Whip, and a plain waffle. I'll start with the plain, as it sets some amazing expectations. They provided it with powdered sugar on top, but that's normal. The batter was the right amount of flavor, warm, with the right crisp, and then you discover little bits of sugar crystals... like morsels of candy inside. This base layer is there for all of them, and it's worth it just as it's own. Start throwing more toppings on top, and it turns into a new world. The Blueberry and Lemon Whip was an EPIC FLAVOR EXPLOSION. The layers of flavors were amazing, and the textures well thought out. The Lemon Whip was something to write home about. The way they pulled that much flavor out was brilliant, and the way that it worked off the blueberries was genius. I won't speak to the Nutella as I didn't try it (not a fan of Nutella), but the rest of the family loved it. (Go check out their trip to Shark Tank, and the reactions of the Sharks devouring this amazing waffle!) read more

So yummy! I didn't know if I wanted sweet or savory and this was the perfect option for me. I can't pick a favorite part of the dish I got (The American. Has bacon crumbles, egg, and cheese on top a waffle and has maybe some syrup on top, and a fried egg and I got mine runny) because I loved it all! The waffle was so perfect. Soft and not dry at all. Definitely recommend trying this place when you go to the Foundry! read more

Press Waffle - Waffles Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Thoroughly impressed! order: + churro waffle + vanilla ice cream (opted out of whip cream) worth noting: * the wait time -- lightning fast! After I ordered, I sat down and immediately got a text/heard them call my name and had to pop right back up. This was also during a lunch rush! They probably had 5 people on staff? We love to see it! * the waffle was SO fresh, warm, and tasted like home. Too cheesy? But it really did. * I wish I took a picture first but it would've have been able to capture the mouth-watering, like-home taste anyway. You definitely have to try it!! read more

Press Waffles are different than other waffles because they are Liege Waffles. This is a completely different type of waffle, and it shows. Liege Waffles are made with dough and not a batter. The combination of this waffle with their bacon jam and chicken is amazing. My group has eaten Chicken and Waffles all over the South and back and this one is by far the best any of us have had. We asked for the syrup on the side so we could cut and share this easier but next time I would just get it smothered. The syrup with the bacon and this style waffle is a match made in waffle heaven. The chicken is perfectly fried and just adds that extra je ne sais quoi. This was by far the best thing we had on our visit to City Foundry. I will return. read more

My first time in this food hall, I stopped by this waffle shop and ordered a savory and one sweet waffle. I got the chicken and waffles and the Nutella with strawberry waffles.

There isn't anything better than Chicken and Waffles with some sweet syrup! I was so glad that I made the decision to get this for my lunch yesterday as it was savory and sweet and just the right amount. The chicken tender was breaded and friend crisp and juicy and the waffle was the best waffle I have ever had. I don't know how they make their waffles taste so good. I was hooked after just one bite and while the portion size was small for the price I paid, I guess it was filling. I was just expecting a full waffle, but this was more like half a waffle with 2 chicken tenders which was just enough. The perfect amount. I can't wait to go back and try another kind of waffle next time! read more

My friends and I always save room for these waffles when we come to the city foundry. Yes the lines can be long, and the price can be more than I'd like, but all waffles are made to order (plus some of them require a lot of toppings), and honestly everything these days is going up in price. All that aside, these waffles are delicious!! The texture is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I really like The House waffle; it's the one with strawberry and Nutella, and you can't go wrong with that combo. It's pretty filling for just two people to share. Excited to try the other waffles they have! read more

This is a great spot if you're in the mood for a waffle. The food hall atmosphere is fun. There was plenty of seating. My food came out very quickly, and the workers were kind. I got the Elvis. It's Peanut Butter, Banana, and bacon crumbles on a waffle. It was pretty good, but kind of expensive to not come with a drink and for the portion size. This place would be a 5 star if it wasn't for that. read more

YUM! I'd never been to City Foundry before and looked at all of the possible food booths before setting our sights on Press. They describe it as brioche batter, but it is thick like dough. It doesn't pour like batter, they scoop it out of a big bowl with an ice cream scoop and smash it into the waffle iron. I had the Cristo which was devine! It wasn't as rich as a full blown Monte Cristo sandwich and it was so good and filling. For this one they sliced a waffle down the middle to fill with turkey, ham, melted cheese, and a touch of blackberry jam and turned it into a sandwich. A-Mazing. The jam added a special sweetness to the savory waffle. My mom had the chicken and waffles and said the chicken was just the right amount of crispy. This one is a good find! read more

The waffles here are very cute and aesthetic. There's a good variety of salty and sweet. The sugar pearls in the waffles are very good and add crunchy texture. Our waffles, however, felt a little undercooked and lacked flavor unless eaten with the toppings. Still worth trying since there aren't a lot of similar places in STL. read more

My daughter and I were in St. Louis for the weekend, and were excited to try these waffles on Feb 4th. We arrived around 9 AM, when they were advertised to open. We approached the counter to look at the menu and order, and were quickly told by rather rude female employee, "they would need 15 to 20 minutes to get ready to take orders." Although we were disappointed to hear this, my daughter wanted to try the waffles badly enough that we decided to walk around for a bit while while we waited. We came back at about 9:15, and returned to the counter. This time, we were completely ignored by both female employees, who had still not turned on the menu TVs, and seemed in no rush to open. Even though they realized we were waiting, one of the girls said, "I'm going to go to the bathroom, then I will turn the menus on when I come back." Around 9:22, she returned from the bathroom, slowly sauntered toward the counter, and turned on the menus. Then, treating us as if we were bother, she finally asked us what she could get us. Frustrated by now, I was still looking forward to a good waffle. I told her that I would like to have the Elvis. She told me that they were out of bananas, which is a staple of the Elvis. She told me I could pick another fruit, but I explained that the Elvis is Based around the combination of the bananas and peanut butter, so I would pass. My daughter and I both ordered something else and waited for our food. We got it rather quickly. While we were eating, we noticed that both of the girls on staff walked away from the food stand together, toward the coffee shop nearby. They were gone for nearly 10 minutes, and then both returned together with coffee drinks. The booth was completely unstaffed during this time. I know that it is difficult to find good employees today, and we were definitely there during non-peak times, but I was very disappointed by the customer service and the professionalism of the staff (seemingly college age girls). The only one who ever spoke to us was rather rude, they both acted as if we were a bother, and in my opinion, they both looked as if they had simply rolled out of bed. I was also concerned that the girl who said she was going to go to the bathroom, came back so quickly that I am not even sure she would have had time to wash her hands. I also did not see her put gloves on before prepping our food. We will definitely be returning to the foundry, but I am not sure that we will spend our money at this location again. I will say, both of the waffles we had were delicious.... Hence three stars. read more
