The hype is REAL. These are the most ethereally divine waffles that we have ever had in our lives. Honestly, we may never eat waffles again after eating here because: why bother?
One Gaufrette etc. kind of has a little conglomerate in this area, so we're not even sure exactly which location we're leaving a review for, but whatever because we went to both. at the first location (adjacent to their ice cream parlor) we got one sugar waffle, one cinnamon one, and one of their fruit ones (cherry). When we got outside we saw the OTHER location, across the street and immediately feared that we were missing out on waffles, so went to that location as well. *THIS IS THE LOCATION YOU WANT* and for one very simple reason: they offer to hear up your waffles for you. TAKE THEM UP ON THAT OFFER and change your life. We got one sugar and one cinnamon all crisped up and sat down on a bench back on the other side of the street and DEAR GOD you have never had a waffle until you have had this HEATED/CRISPED waffle. It's hard to describe: almost like a sweet bread but in crispy waffle form with the pearl sugar and words fail us. The cinnamon one is the best, and obviously we ate the "room temp" ones as well, but the heated ones are NEXT LEVEL.
Here's why we're landing on four stars: after coming back to earth after polishing off the "regular" waffles, we started in on the cherry one and just: NON. It was soggy, limp, and honestly, just plain gross. But the worst part was that when one of us but into it, she hit a pit!! Zut alors! She went back into the shop to let them know (merely as a cautionary tale for other Belgians' teeth, speaking in half decent French [shoulder; dust; even knowing the word "noyaux"!!!!] but they were unfazed. Ah well.
Anyway, long story short, stick to the good stuff. And then go up and down Montagne de Bueren, which is just around the corner, to offset your indulgences. read more
