Inside

3 stars because it should be illegal that they don't have a bathroom. Food is good, you order at the bar then they bring it out. I noticed after my meal, there was no bathroom and asked someone at the counter and they let me know sometimes around the corner you can access a bathroom but otherwise they don't have one for the restaurant.

We were greeted immediately upon our arrival, with the gentlemen being very helpful in our selections. The coffee was very good. As I the prefer more savory side, I had the Couve Club waffle which has a slice of havarti cheese, very thinly sliced turkey, thin slightly crispy bacon and a dollop of raspberry preserves atop. Wow. Just WOW! Every bite of this was absolutely delightful. The only slight preparation modification I would have liked would be to have the cheese a bit more melted. My companion had the JG2, which comes with a generous amount of fresh blueberries, heavy drizzle of lemon curd and real whipped cream. I was told this was very good. The dining area isn't huge and it got a wee bit loud as more parties came in, but they were playing great music that wasn't too loud and they helped a bit. There was significant road work being done outside, with the road completely closed off, but we parked around the corner and walked over and I'm so glad we weren't scared off by the street issues; it was worth a little effort to have this really delicious breakfast.

Menu on the wall

Visited here for the first time on a sunny Saturday morning around 9am. I would definitely recommend getting here early since the restaurant filled up quickly after we ordered. Lots of families with little kiddos and couples and friends catching up over some yummy fluffy waffles. It was a little smokey in there when we were there and they actually don't have a bathroom in the building they are in but the friendly staff took the time to walk me next door and gave me the ladle key to access the bathroom in the adjacent building. You order at the counter and when I ordered the small hot chocolate I was asked if this was for a child and if so they are able to make it less hot and put it in a cup with lid. What a thoughtful gesture and much appreciated by this toddler mom! My friend and I and my toddler ordered the Audrey (goat cheese, honey, walnut), the Mojo Jojo (Nutella, banana, whipped cream), and I got the original waffle with whipped cream as well. The Belgian Liege waffles were crispy and fluffy but just dense enough to fill you up! I loved the suggested combos but you can also build your own too! (Although I did think $3 for a few pieces of strawberry were a little steep as a topping) but I think their suggested combos are the way to go. I even brought the original waffle home and it was just ask good toasted the next morning with my own toppings. This was a nice treat on a weekend morning. Go enjoy some sweet or savory waffles!

JG2 waffle

Syrup Trap is a cozy and cute breakfast spot. We went at 9:30am on a Sunday morning, so seating was a bit limited, but the service was fast. I got the JG2 waffle and loved the lemon curd and fresh blueberries as my topping, however I wasn't too impressed with the waffle itself. It was decent, but it was much more dense than other liege waffles I've tried. My boyfriend got the Elvis waffle and enjoyed it, while also agreeing the waffle texture wasn't his favorite.

I'm giving this place five stars for service! They employees are so welcoming and helpful. I had a nice conversation with the person at the register and there is a great vibe in the restaurant. I wish the seating was laid out differently to make it feel less cramped into the small space. Nonetheless though they've got the theme down perfectly! The waffles were super crispy, I notice normally the waffles from other spots I've had are more fluffy. Definitely come down and try these waffles, just keep that in mind if you like a more fluffy waffle!

Mojo Jojo

Delicious and authentic liege waffles with the perfect balance of sweet and crispy outside and soft on the inside. We tried the second breakfast, the Van Clucky, and the Mojo Jojo. We ordered two lattes as well which complemented the waffles. The interior is cute and very clean. Service was quick and friendly. We will visit again.

We needed to stop somewhere for a quick bite and decided on Syrup Trap this morning. This was actually my second time here, but a first for my husband. He loves anything sweet for breakfast so I figured he would like some of the menu items here. When we got there, it was about 1pm or so. There were 3 different tables of other customers when we arrived. Not that busy. We ordered a sandwich and a plate of waffles with Nutella. My husband loved the mojo jojo and devoured all of it. My sandwich was just okay. The waffle was really dry and overcooked in my opinion. It was not that soft when I was biting in to the sandwich. Establishment was cute and small. It's a buss your own table type of place located in downtown Vancouver so it's all street parking.

Stopped in about 10 minutes after opening on a Sunday morning. Only two tables were occupied, so it was a perfect time to visit without a line. The inside is small with only a few tables and bar seating in the window. There were a few bistro tables outside the entrance as well. You order at the counter, they bring you your food, then buss your table when finished. They also have a complimentary water and creamer station for convenience. After reviewing the menu, we decided on the Swanson Sammy ($11.75) and The Original with strawberries, bananas, and nutella ($11.75). My husband also ordered a 12 oz drip coffee ($3.25) with free refills. The guy at the counter let us know it would be a few minutes for the waffles because the irons were still heating up. We didn't think a 'few minutes' was too long, so we agreed; however, a few minutes actually meant 20 minutes. The wait was much longer than we anticipated, but the waffles were well worth the wait! They were nice and crispy on the outside and sweeter than normal waffles. We didn't need or order any syrup. My husband thought next time he may order the syrup with the sandwich because it was a little dry. Mine was perfect! I may opt for whipped cream with the berries next time. I would definitely order the same thing. Overall, we enjoyed our first visit and look forward to trying other menu options. Would recommend!

Nutella waffles
JemuelnleAnne M.

The food was delicious! The staff not so friendly. Cute spot. My kid loved her CC waffle plate!!

Try the Swason Sammy...egg, ummy bacon, sausage, havarti cheese in a waffle. I put Organic syrup on mine delicious!

Food service ambiance all plus! Coffee is done right! I'll be back for more... I had this pop-up while I was leaving the comment here, in order to leave a comment on yelp you need to have at least 85 characters to leave a review.

Leslie Knope

Got the Leslie Knope to go, oh em gee, this is the best waffle I've ever had. Service was quick, they were so kind and the restaurant itself was clean, and pretty chill!

The Elvis Waffle - gluten-free version
Rose D.

Update from my original review - I'm not sure when they changed this, but they now have syrup dispensers on all the tables, so you can have syrup on your waffle at no additional cost. Yay! Everything else from my previous review still stands, and I'm so glad they gave a gluten-free waffle option. I only wish they had a bigger location with more seating. Many times when we've wanted to come here they are packed with no open seats, so we end up going elsewhere. I'm glad they are doing so well!

The Elvis
Angelica A.

Okaaayy Trap Queen! Serving up some strong' & loyal' .... waffles! You can smell the handmade waffles from outside! Small inside dining - plan accordingly! Came around 11:15 on a Saturday and it was perfect! The Nitro Cold Brew was smooooth - had to add some sugar. Wish there was flavor addition options. We split the Elvis & the Waffle Sandwich. The Elvis needed a 'WOW' factor in my opinion - with the bacon being so subtle. Still felt like a healthier version of the Waffle Window. The Waffle Sandwich was deliciousssss. If you want to go on an adventure - ask to use the bathroom haha. This has serious potential - have to come back for more to uncover!

There was only one table available in a small room with 3 other four-top tables. It was super loud with that many people in such a small space. They definitely try to make use of every inch they have. We're not really 'crowd' people, nor do we enjoy high volume environments where we can't have a conversation without raising our voices. That part of the experience left little to be desired. The staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. Our water glasses were refilled promptly, and considering how busy they were, our food came out timely. We ordered the club sandwich with fries and a bacon Swiss burger with chili. The food was good, but nothing outstanding. They offer generous portions at affordable prices. Overall we enjoyed our meal, but given the loud and crowded environment, we're not sure it's a place we'll frequent in the future.

The staff is super friendly and interactive. They were also super polite for being so busy. The coffee shop is quaint and small.

It was a Thursday morning. There was only 1 person ahead of us in line. The person who took our order answered all my questions. (They do keep a steady stream of customers it seemed.) We got our food and headed upstairs to find a seat. It looked crowded when we got up there, so we went back downstairs to sit outside. Someone came out and grabbed us and told us about a seating area they had that was kind of hidden. It was perfect. So, we had a nice, cozy spot to eat. The place remained pretty busy and it seemed like patrons stayed a while. The food was great - we had the jalapeño bagel, biscuits and gravy, and an egg scramble. We were all very happy with our picks. For drinks we had a golden milk latte, pumpkin spice latte, and a strawberry lemonade. All of them were great. We loved everything about Brewed and we just really appreciate the service and yummy food and drinks.

We were there as the last 4 of the first 100 customers so we got the goodie bags, cute jar of milk tea and some croc charms and keychain, no more stickers. Line got busy quickly and they did a 40% discount today as well. They did forget 2 out of 7 of our beverages so while we were waiting for all our drinks they just spaced out and forgot and continued on with processing more orders. So our other 2 tests didn't come until 20-30 mins later. I would say as they continue on with their business and get the hang on it will be better. Always room for improvement! would recommend letting them know if you've been waiting for more than 10 minutes to remind them as they're very busy with processing walk in orders and takeaways like uber eats etc. Very cute decor and it has very limited seating and space to stand to wait inside. Parking lot is shared with other shops and businesses nearby. Ordered their original bubble waffle as they're out of icecream or there was some technical issues so it doesn't work well. I custom made my drink as I sampled their rose milk tea and really loved the rose aroma but wanted refreshing drink on a hot day like today. I ordered paradise fruit tea with fresh fruits like a passion fruit seed, chia seed, strawberry, lemon/lime and watermelon etc and added a hint of rose syrup with extra jasmine green tea and had it overall less sweetened from other sweeteners. It came out perfect! Would recommend giving it a try if you like rose scent and flavor and enjoy a good fruit tea. we also got a galaxy drink, avocado blended shake, taro blended shake, peach lemongrass tea, sugar cane drink and my fruit tea. would come again for sure when in area, very cute place!
