The people were nice, the place was clean and well decorated with a relaxing atmosphere. Their waffles were superior to most that I have had, and it was incredibly delicious. I'm not sure how they do it but the waffles almost have a sweet glaze on them which goes great with a savory selection. read more

I dream about the Audrey. They have turned me into a goat cheese fiend. It's so good, love the cute tables (tho on busy days don't recommend coming with a group because it's quite limited seating). When it was busy our first time, we took our brunch to the water front and drank our coffee and it was really nice. My husband loves the Swanson Sammy. And yes, get the syrup even tho it's extra. read more

"Why would anyone eat anything other than breakfast food?" -Leslie Knope Obviously as a Parks and Recs fan we had to go here and I definitely got and very much enjoyed The Leslie Knope. The strawberries were fresh and the waffle reminded me of the one I had on the streets of Belgium. My husband got the mojo jojo which was also quite delicious. My vanilla latte hit the spot and I'd highly recommend this great little place! read more

The waffles are amazing. Either sweet or savory. Staff are friendly and efficient. It is amazing how fast they get the orders out. A perfect charming. Brunch spot. Highly Recommend read more

Liege Waffles - the secret, not so secret perfectly sweet waffle that is challenging the commonly thought need of maple syrup. Syrup is not the star of the dish, it can make some of the dishes extra enjoyable but again, not a need. Get the waffle: You secretly/not secretly like the McDonalds Mac Griddle - Swanson Waffle Sammy You love strawberry shortcake, strawberry anything - Leslie Knope Like me, you struggle with your insane sweet tooth and are surprised to find that sweet treat that makes you want to change your ways - Mojo JoJo, add peanut butter You need a reason to see your dentist for a cleaning on schedule - Wapple Pie You like fresh pies, look at blueberries lovingly while wishing they had a little extra oomph - JG2 Oooph - just add maple syrup and enjoy the Elvis. I think the Elvis would approve. Find that you're a fan of breakfast that is both sweet and savory. Also, you like the best type of jam (not grape - NOT grape) raspberry - Couve Club (sans syrup) You're elevated, classy, refined and yet still able to wear sweat pants in public (might be me only in the latter sense) Second Breakfast or the Audrey - definitely add prosciutto to either yum You're done reading this ridiculous long review and just want to eat a GD waffle - Annie Fan You're a wandering soul, looking for experience not routine - there's a limited time special for you. Coffee on point. A con for me - the bathroom is a bit removed but it is accessible for everyone (there's an elevator) you just have to get the key from one of the staff. Good luck - pick whatever you want, you will find your "one" read more

This was about as poor an experience as I can imagine at a professional restaurant. If you like average food, delivered exceptionally slowly, by disinterested staff, then it's maybe worth your time. Personally, I won't go back. We were there on a Saturday, mid-morning. Place wasn't too busy. From ordering food to receiving it was a couple of minutes shy of an hour. There seemed to be plenty of staff who looked busy enough, but whatever they were doing it wasn't producing food quickly. The food itself was OK - although nothing that special. Waffles were small (about 1/2 the size of a regular waffle iron), and the toppings were OK, but again fairly standard. There was nothing on any of the plates that our group ordered that we would not have been easily able to recreate in our own kitchens. I left the restaurant feeling frustrated and annoyed that I'd wasted time and money on something I'd have been able to do just as well at home. Your mileage may vary, but this one is going on my 'nope, never again' list. read more

Waffles. I love me some waffles. Liège waffles, Brussels waffles...all the waffles! And these ones are, like other waffles, very good. Syrup Trap offers Liege waffles, the thick kind made with a batter and not the dough. The hubby and I split the Audrey (goat cheese, hazelnuts, and honey), JG^2 (lemon curd and blueberries), and the Mojo Jojo (Nutella and bananas). I got a side of syrup with the Audrey, but it was totally unnecessary. The Audrey was the clear winner of the group. The flavors complimented each other perfectly. It was the most special, and most delicious. Servers were very friendly and accommodating. We had a group of six and they helped us put a bunch of tables together our in the hallway. The food came to us in under ten minutes after ordering. Will I be back? No, this was a lot more money for waffles than I wanted to pay. About $34 for three waffles, not including tip. Yesterday I ate at one of Portland's great brunch places and that was the same cost with tip. But, this was good in the way waffles are always good. Side note: we ordered some bacon and it came to us covered in bubbles. This means it was microwaved. Hmmmmm. Just sayin'. read more

This place has wonderful waffles and friendly service. Cozy place that should be even better with Warner summer mornings.

I will say the food Is always yummy but sadly they close very early. The service can be a bit slow but it will be always worth it. Don't come if you are in a rush as it will take a while for you to take your order. Very cute area, but sadly bathrooms are very inaccessible for people who are disabled. Other than that, everything is really good with yummy maple syrup! read more

Great staff, really fun, almost environment. Snacks were really good and drinks were creative and delicious.

Sweet & Savory! All of it was delicious! I totally dig the order at the counter and self clean up. The atmosphere is light and bright. Very calming and just a wonderful day out brunch place to visit. The sweet Mojo Jojo is of course what I picked. I couldn't pass that name up. May I add "DO NOT" use syrup in addition to this. It'll cause a tooth ache. The savory Couve Club surprising my favorite. I've never had meat with a waffle and now I understand. If you're feeling adventurous, try this waffle combo. Any drink will work with whatever waffle you choose feel free to ask what they recommend. Everyone was very friending and helpful. read more

A must try if you're in Vancouver! The waffles and toppings are so good you'll be licking your plate clean afterward. They offer gluten-free waffles that were both delicious and stayed together which is a feat in its own to accomplish. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's visiting. I will for sure be coming back here; wish they had a location in California! read more

Sweet, savory or in between, there's a waffle for everyone at this casual gem. Great service.

A breath of fresh air! That's how you feel when you walk into Syrup Trap. A very clean and vibrant atmosphere with the lovely smell of waffles and coffee. Who knew that there could be such an amazing smell right!? The customer service was outstanding, the food was brilliant, and the location makes it a unique stop. I had the privilege of indulging on the Mojo Jojo and the Anne Fan. Don't forget to Look for the monthly flavor! I was sad that I didn't see the sign until after I ordered. The Elvis looked amazing! Bottom line--- Syrup Trap can compete with the best of them. Give them a shot! read more

I've been here now twice and both times were amazing! The waffles are perfect with fresh, delicious toppings. What pushed me to write a review was their London Fog!

Cute new little place in downtown Vancouver first impression that it was a neat little spot everyone was very friendly and nice. Samples 4 different waffles 2 reg and 2 gluten free. The 2 reg was the strawberry and the Elvis without bacon, loved the reg strawberry waffle not too sweet very fresh a s delicious, the Elvis I thought was a little too much banana but still good need more peanut better. The 2 gluten-free I sampled was the lemon blueberry which I thought was extremely too sweet and then I also had the goat cheese hazelnuts and I added grilled pears I loved this waffle just thought it had a little too much goat cheese. This place has a lot of potential but needs to have add on eggs and savory waffles like a veggie gravy or a hummus and cucumber. read more

Started with the very friendly owner?/staff? explaining the basic liege waffle. We ordered the Annie Fan and the Second Breakfast and some of their very good drip coffee. The Annie Fan was very very good. The generous amount of bacon wasn't crispy but was very good. The maple syrup worked with the bacon to elevate the entire experience. The Second Breakfast was yummy! The brie added a rich creaminess. Again a generous amount of prosciutto topped the waffle. My only suggestion, not complaint, was the pear. The fan of sliced pear looked pretty but was not designed to make sure you got a balance of the 4 flavors in each bite. Once I cut it up and put it under the prosciutto it was perfect! Syrup Trapdoor definitely worth a return visit. read more

I had a great experience here. The waffles are delicious and there is an array of toppings to choose from. The restaurant is cute, clean, and there is a little play corner for minions to wreak havoc in. I feel that the prices are a little steep for how little waffle you get, but with some heavier toppings (which I opted out of), I'm sure it would be more filling. I don't see myself returning here because of the lack of vegan options, but overall -- cute spot. read more

This place was quiet and cute. Friendly staff. The service was fast. You can tell the produce is fresh, without a doubt. I got a waffle with strawberry, banana, and Nutella- delicious. However, the waffle itself was extremely sweet (I do know that Liege waffles are supposed to be) but in comparison to Waffle Window in PDX, unfortunately this waffle fell short. If they change the sweetness level in their waffle batter, I'd come back. I may give it another shot in a few months. read more

Perfect breakfast/brunch spot w really nice and attentive staff. Only low spot concerns my waffle, cooked perfectly and tasty, but served cold along w hard butter. This is my second visit and same outcome. I will return and ask to try and keep the waffle warm so fingers crossed. read more

Two of my favorite breakfast items on one plate! Much better than what you'd get at the farmers market or street fair. The popularity of the Liege-styled waffle has grown quite a lot in the past few years in the Pacific Northwest. It's a sweet yeasted dough with Liege sugar pellets in the batter. This place was really busy at 9am on a Friday. read more

Syrup Trap - Ann Fan waffle - topped with crispy bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I love this place. I got the waffle with brie and Turkey I believe and I was craving it the next day. Worth it!

I was hungry on a Saturday morning in Vancouver, and not knowing the restaurants here, I went to the Yelp app to see my choices. Once again, Yelp reviewers steered me to a good meal. On the app, I looked at several restaurants, and the one that stood out as being unique from the rest was the Syrup Trap. I was in the mood for something savory, and saw a waffle sandwich called the Swanson's Sammy. This sandwich features filling of egg, Havarti cheese, a sausage patty, and bacon, nestled between two Liège waffle's. For those who do not know, Liège waffle's are made with a yeasty dough rather than a batter, which has a subtly different taste. You can choose whether or not to get the maple syrup on your waffle, which in this situation added a little sweetness to the savory fillings of the sandwich. Delicious! I also ordered a cup of the drip coffee, which was very good indeed. The greeting when I entered was friendly and warm, making me glad I chose Syrup Trap for my breakfast to-go order. I can honestly say that the whole meal was delicious, and I hope to come back soon. read more

These are definitely some great waffles, but they are definitely also meant to be shared! I'm not usually the type to call something too sweet or heavy but these are some powerful waffles (depending on what you get of course). I also love the names of their waffles, so good! Gotta give them a try! read more

I came here on Feb 2, 2020 with friends; three adults, two teenagers, and an eight-year old Maltipooh. I ordered the "Second Breakfast" with added ($1) syrup on the side. The serving was just the perfect amount of food for one person. It was as tasty and flavorful without the syrup. Ambience was great and friendly staff. They have about three tables for outside seating but depending on time of the year, can be cold to sit out. Kudos to one of the staff who noticed our canine companion and allowed us to dine in the "lobby" or receiving area. It is separated from the main dinning. It is the area that separates the restaurant and the barbershop. If one wanted to, he/she/they can plan their meal and haircut conveniently. Street parking is plentiful. I took pictures but will have to find them and post at a later time. read more

This Place is Fantastic. The waffles here are amazing. The coffee here is a 10. This was our first time going here, but we will definitely be back. Ps. Try the Leslie Knope and Mojo Jojo. Don't forget to add strawberries. read more

I'm obsessed with everything on their menu. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the food is even better!

More tables and chairs please! Love the waffle options and toppings. Food was yummy and warm,

Doesn't look like much, but the waffles are incredible with the right mix of crisp and lightly sweet. Had the strawberries and whip cream and my wife added Nutella. Both great!!! Looking forward to trying a savory waffle next time here. read more

Nice little spot. Very friendly and inviting. Short and sweet menu. Yummy waffles. We'll be back next time we're in town.

Meh. If this is your first experience with liege waffles, it's a fine choice. If you've had them before somewhere else, you're not likely to be impressed. Good combination of flavors - we had the Anne Fan and Couve Club. The plates are too big for the waffles making it seem like something's missing, and the waffles themselves are quite bland. Service was good, although they weren't ready to open on time. They ended up serving us an extra drink in error. Early morning confusion? read more

Everything was perfect - even down to the Relevant coffee and espresso options! But Saturday open is at 8, not 7! read more

Basically all I can say is this place is fabulous. Staff is wonderful, menu is varied and everything we ordered was prepared to perfection and tasty. We can't wait to return to try other items. I would say it's a small restaurant with limited seating inside. read more
