    The service, the ambiance and the food "Great". I haven't been here in years and now that I'm back on the west... I had to revisit this place. It just as I remembered and the dishes are still hitting'. Definitely a must to make a spot here if you're in LA. Vegans are welcome... you won't be disappointed. Good spot as my go to here... Live, love and laugh - Sha

    My daughter was so excited to bring us here. She's been here a few times. We don't live close and so it's a bit of a drive but so worth it. Service was friendly. Our server was great.. When I really enjoy food, it's not just delicious, it's DA-LICIOUS! We sat outside instead of inside so I don't know what the inside looks like. It was a beautiful sunny day in LA so had to sit outside instead. We ordered the blueberry and lemon waffle breakfast, a banana nut waffle, vanilla latte. AMAZING. We also got Vegetarian omelet and chocolate waffles that were also Yummy!! Wish this place was close to us but we'll definitely return.

    I think it's time for ya'll to update your online menu because there's no way I would pay $150 for cream cheese frosting. I know this is a typo!

    I was so excited to try a waffle spot that has GF/V option. I believe they used corn meal in their GF option because it is a corn bread texture, very crumbly. Presentation was nice and they offer half or full order. Unfortunately, did not like the texture. (Not the kind i have tried in other spots that are airy/fluffy inside, little crisp on the outside.) I also tried their house made maple sausage and it was just ok. My Hubby did enjoy his regular pancake

    My in laws pass this place every weekend, so we decided to finally give it a try while visiting. The restaurant itself is super cute from the outside and offers both outdoor and indoor seating. The indoor area has a really fun retro diner vibe that makes the place feel unique. The line honestly was not too bad for a Saturday morning, but the service took forever. It took a long time just to get seated because one girl was handling check ins, checking table availability, and seating everyone herself. Once we sat down, it also took awhile to place our order and we quickly realized asking for anything extra probably was not going to happen. I will say they do have a lot of plant-based breakfast and lunch options, which my husband appreciated. Overall though, for the amount of waiting, the food was painfully mid. Nothing bad, but nothing spectacular or mind blowing either.

    The Waffle is a great location for quality brunch in Hollywood! You know how sometimes the closer you live to something, the longer it takes for you to actually end up visiting it?! This is one of those spots that I always see when walking or driving in Hollywood, and yet despite living nearby, hadn't actually gone until recently. What I found was that I have definitely been missing out!! Visiting for brunch on a Sunday afternoon, there was a bit of a wait, but still got some patio seating in nearly no time at all. I personally really enjoy the vibes here and being able to street watch/people watch from its expansive patio space, amply covered with umbrellas for shading. Service was very quick and friendly, with the mimosa flights we ordered being brought out so fast! The food itself is generously portioned and very delicious! I did a breakfast plate and upgraded the biscuit to one that's basically biscuits & gravy, which was SOOO good! The rest of the plate was very solid breakfast items. My partner loves the waffle sandwiches here and gets them for lunch sometimes - and this visit was nothing different when it came to him thoroughly enjoying it! We left in a great mood from the various mimosa flavors in the flights, the hearty plates of food that left us full AND with plenty of leftovers to finish off later that day! If you're hanging out in Hollywood and wondering where to have brunch or lunch, this is definitely the spot!

    Mimosa :) YUMMY

    Loved this drink ! What a treat . It's made with real espresso a total pick me up sweet drink resembling an espresso martini!! Perfect for a fun Friday

    Waffle flights - red velvet, dulce de leche and chocolate on both! Differnt - chocolate chip and lemon blueberry. Mocha coffee drinks

    I found this place online bc my husband was craving waffles during our trip. We parked on the street nearby the building. We sat outside since the weather was nice and they had umbrellas on the table. Indoor seating was packed anyways but the place was clean. We both got the waffle flights. We enjoyed the tres leches, chococolate, chocolate chip and red velvet. The size was cute, and we liked that we were able to try a variety. The waffles were soft but also had crisp edges, and were very filling. I also got the lemon blueberry but wasn't a huge fan of it. Portions were decent for the price. For drinks we both got the mocha and it was good, nothing crazy or extraordinary. Not sure if they were short staffed, but service was a bit slow. The menu has a good variety.

    Classic Malted Belgian Waffle. Slightly sweet and subtly nutty with crisp edges and a soft interior. Goes great with syrup and butter.

    You can add yourself to our waitlist by heading to https://www.thewafflehollywood.com/. This waitlist gets activated once there is a line formed. Other than that we are on a first come first serve basis.… 

    Do they offer bottomless mimosas?

    Are the waffles vegan?

    We do offer a Gluten-Free Vegan Waffle that we serve with Smart Balance butter!

    Are they closed on rainy days?

    They have a large indoor seating area so I doubt they would close for rain.

    Is the upstairs bar open at night for food and drinks?

    I've honestly never seen it open unless they had a private party that had reserved it. They also aren't open that late anymore.

    We stopped by during brunch one day because I was craving breakfast and we must have came just the…read moreright time because there was not a lot of people, but shortly after we were seated people started coming in and they had to wait a bit for a table. We sat inside and I ordered a simple brunch with just 2 strips of bacon, 2 over medium eggs and waffles. The server asked me if I wanted a full size waffle or half size and as I was watching the other people order I noticed people were not hesitating to order the full size option and I thought dang, they are not gonna finish that, so I opted for the half serving which was 2 pretty good sized waffles. Once I took my 1st bite, I suddenly regretted only ordering the half size option. I instantly knew right then and there why people ordered the full size. A waffle is a waffle right guys? Wrong... not this waffle. This waffle will make you feel love inside that you didn't know existed. As we were walking inside the restaurant I actually was picking a fight with my husband for no apparent reason... possibly because I was hungry but after I took my first bite, I forgot about the argument haha. I told him he needs to bring me here ALL THE TIME. I am yet to come back a 2nd time and I already anticipate loving it the 2nd time. We drove by one day hoping to have a 2nd try here and it was really busy so we didn't make the stop. I look forward to coming back and the next time around I will not hesitate to order a full size waffle order. The staff was really nice, our server was this young lady who was waiting on all the tables inside and some outside was on top of it. She was really pleasant and the gentlemen in the back were also nice. The restaurant was clean when we visited and the service was really quick. We parked down the street, the walk wasn't too bad, we didn't know where to park but I read some of the other reviews and I guess there's a parking in the back somewhere. If you live nearby and you haven't visited, do yourself a favor and try them out. If you travel from far away like me and you're looking for a breakfast or brunch spot with delicious waffles, this is the spot.

As soon as we sat down, the menus were brought right over. Our server was incredibly quick and attentive, immediately checking if we wanted coffee (heck yea!). She gave us plenty of time to review the menu without feeling rushed. I ordered the traditional breakfast with eggs, bacon, and hash browns, and added a side of waffles topped with strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. Everything was prepared perfectly: * The Waffles: Incredibly light and airy. * The Fruit: Perfectly sweet and fresh. The whole breakfast was just done right. The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating. I loved that they even set up a table outside with water for people who are waiting for a table. Our server was very nice throughout the entire meal. I will definitely be back!

I've been here twice and on the first visit, it took awhile to get seated.

My boyfriend loves their breakfast tacos (super hearty, 2 would be enough but a 3rd was taken home). Super generous portion with their cooked meat on top - SO good (classic bacon, or their mole and barbacoa). The Chipotle chilaquiles were absolutely delicious! I've never had an authentic Chipotle sauce taste like that... super creamy, and homemade, not overtly smoky like you usually have at other places. We also had their cafe de olla cold brew (since it was a hot summer heat wave), and it was good - classic with their cafe de olla spices - but I'm sure their classic hot cafe de olla is even better. I believe I've gotten their other regular brunch items, but wish I just opted for their Mexican favorites since that's their bread and butter here. Great business. Great service. Love to support!
