On our hunt for the Met on our NYC vacation, we ran across the Wafels and Dinges cart. Cute! It was an unexpected surprise on a slightly chilly day as we journeyed to find the iconic museum. Hubby had "de Bom" while I had a waffle cone with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also got a Belgian Hot Chocolate...best hot chocolate I've ever had! They serve it with a mini cookie to dip in your cocoa. I wish I could have sampled a few other items but I wanted to save my appetite for Joe's Shanghai for some soup dumplings after. But every sweet treat on the menu looked absolutely scrumptious! Great little unexpected treat to satisfy my sweet tooth on the walk through Central Park!
Wafels & Dinges is a food stand/truck that specializes in Belgian waffles. I happened upon them near Midtown. If you spot them, you'll be in for a sweet treat. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - It's a yellow food truck normally located in a public area. Honestly we were simply walking when we found them but you can follow them on twitter. I happen to love food trucks, so I also love these setups where you can walk up, place an order, & get some tasty grub. There were a number of chairs & tables around so eating was easy. 1 Star. Service - There was only man in the truck, but we fast & quick. Not much else can be said - our transaction to food time was no more than 5 minutes. 1 Star. Food - Of course we went with the WMD consisting of whipped cream, chocolate syrup, bananas, & strawberries. It was super cold that day so unfortunately we didn't get to experience the hot, soft wafel mixed with our dinges. Instead, it was a bit hard - but the fruit (also cold) did soften it up. In the future, I think I would rather order a wafel plain so that the flavor of the batter would stand out. In our WMD, the other toppings over powered it. Hey, we were ordering what looked good in the photos! Still a tasty treat, but $10+ for a WMD & bottled water. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Only if I happen upon another food truck. I won't actively seek one out via twitter, but if I spot a Wafel & Dinges cart I will surely line up. Not the best wafel I've had, but certainly the best from a food stand/truck. You won't be disappointed if you are lucky enough to hit one up. 1/2 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score.
Most awesomest wafflest waffles ever!! I had bookmarked this cart before going to NYC, but when I saw that it was a cart I thought it was gonna be a moving food truck that I would never find. But walking out of Central Park on the way to the Apple store, lo and behold there it was right there!! When I passed by the cart and read the name, I squealed of excitement while the bf wondered what was wrong with me. He got the waffle ice cream sandwich with gingerbread waffle, or was it gingerbread ice cream?? I got the WMD waffle with unlimited dinges! I just asked the worker to make me something, whatever was the best combo. They were super nice by the way! He put spekuloos spread, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate and powdered sugar. Bomb-diggity-bomb! The spekuloos spread is made of gingerbread I think. The texture is kind of like a runny peanut butter or almond butter. I think it would have been even more delicious with some bananas. I posted pictures of both items. A must try if you are in NY!
Who doesn't love a good story about someone who quits a desk job to start a food truck business? Not just any food truck, a waffle truck. I mean... wafels. & the toppings are ... dinges. I don't know what makes a Belgian waffle Belgian, but I've heard that the liege wafel is the one to get. Tried the... Liege Wafel with Spekuloos Spread: The wafel was warm, soft, and chewy. I wasn't expecting to like it so much, but it was delicious. The first dinges is free. Each additional dinges is $1. Each wafel is about $6. It's a bit too pricey for me to snack on regularly, but great if I want to indulge myself.
I mean, who can say anything bad about a waffle that is topped with bacon and syrup? I did remove one star because my friend and I waited 15-20 minutes for our order, and the girls on the truck seemed to be in disarray. Not sure if something happened to their computer system or what, but the ordering and giving out of orders seemed to be haphazard. Everyone has an off day. The waffle was cooked to perfection, and the bacon was thick and crispy, topped with syrup and powdered sugar for added sugar high. It was definitely enough for two people to split as a snack, which was what my friend and I did. Price was $8.50; that hurts though. Overall, great to treat yourself, but I don't think I would really chance the truck down.
We had spoiled ourselves today with speculoos! Littlefoodie got the "de S'mores Wafels" with marshmallows, speculoos , and melted chocolate fudge. Bigfoodie got the "de bom" with classic vanilla ice cream, speculoos. We really had a sugary day It was amazing dessert to have as the fall leaves fall.
I don't know how, but they forgot about my order, even though I was standing right there. The guys were really sorry about it though, and gave me a free scoop of ice cream. We made the mistake of ordering the WMD, with all of the "dinges" minus nutella, syrup, and butter. Even so, the waffle disintegrated into a soggy mess in the time it took us to dig through all of the toppings. What a yummy mess it was, though. I wish the waffle was bigger, especially for orders with more toppings, and to match the higher pricing. They have a daily trivia or trick to getting a free waffle, but make sure you check their twitter for the right one, else you'll end up doing the wrong thing, like the poor guy that salsa-ed in the middle of Columbus Circle, only to find out that was the wrong challenge.
Popular and nice dessert or snack while relaxing at Bryant park. There many made pre-selected combinations or you can choose your own toppings to put on. They staffs are nice. They have beverages like like coffee or lemonade as well but I personally suggest only getting the waffles and drinks somewhere else. A little pricey but you can't expect cheap in NY. The waffles are good. Goes well with the toppings. It's hard so little difficult to eat with plastic utensils.
There is no way you can pass by and not be drawn by the aroma of fresh wafels. It is a must try! Especially their rich Belgian hot cocoa!
Crack-On-Wheels I've never been so happy to see a vehicle in my life. This truck is one of the best hidden gems I've ever discovered. It literally is the best waffle in the World. Props to whoever thought of this....hopefully they make a S'MOREZ truck next!! I got the soft and chewy w/ peanut butter, nuts, chocolate drizzle, and powdered sugar, it was phenomenal to say the least, can't wait to go back and try the light and flaky. PS The staff is hilarious as well.
One of my all time favorites: the Wafel with vanilla ice cream and Nutella (only if my wafel is freshly made). Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside is what keeps me coming back for this dessert.
After our trip to Belgium, I slowly became resigned to the fact that I would probably never taste a proper Liege waffle again until we returned to Brussels. *cue quiet weeping* Lucky me, I was wrong. I WOULD taste another Liege waffle before our next hop across the pond - and that waffle came from Wafels and Dinges. My husband and I stalked them on Twitter and we found them at the southern tip of Central Park. Waffle Heaven, yippie! The first time we found the truck we got plain Lieges with powdered sugar, which were divine. They were sticky on the outside (from the caramelized sugar) and dense and fluffy on the inside. If heaven was ever incarnated in a food form, this is it. The next time we found the truck (we are total freaks) we got the Liege waffle with Speculoos Spread. What is Speculoos Spread, you ask? It's crack in spreadable form. I say that about a lot of things (I love nut butters), but this was truly one of a kind. It's basically gingerbread cookies ground up into a spreadable paste. Really. It's as good as it sounds - it gets all melty when it gets warm, too...so it's perfect on these waffles. I'm trying to procure some of this stuff for my personal stash...it's incredibly good. If you are in NYC you need to seek out this truck, and prepare to have your mind blown. FYI: They also have REALLY good iced coffee. But come for the waffles.
crazy sweet but super good! don't forget to add fresh strawberries and ice cream to your wafel :D

You really haven't experienced heaven in your mouth until you had one of these damn waffles! The BEST waffle I have ever had!!!! After walking in Central Park, There is a great food truck sitting there and tempting everyone to buy the most fattening delicious thing ever I got the "Elvis" and it was AMAZING! It had bacon, peanut butter, bananas, and powdered sugar for around 10$ and worth every single penny! My sister ordered "The turtle" and it has walnuts, powdered sugar, and chocolate. They were both AMAZING!!!! Definitely worth the price and the stop! read more

Best belgian waffle I've had hands down. The waffle is served hot and crispy but so satisfyingly dense.Try it simple with dulce de leche, it's my favorite! I know I'll be making a stop here next time I visit NYC! read more

My friend and I had some good wafels here, but nothing amazing. With speculoos spread it was too sweet to taste much wafel and I was a little disappointed. Doesn't seem like enough effort is put into the wafel batter to make it stand-out delicious. I like the setting and location though! read more
Wafels and Dinges. Possibly my favorite food truck. The belgian waffles never fail to make me smile. I've had both sweet (usually nutella, bananas and powdered sugar) and the savory (topped with pulled pork or the bacon wafel) and both are amazig. The pulled pork was a little iffy, but the bacon one was to die for! Not to mention the really good speckuloos spread! If it's snowing I like to get the hot chocolate. Nothing is better. You even get a speckuloos cookie with it! I once surprised the boyfriend with a cup of hot chocolate when he came out of class because it had started snowing and he loved it :) Don't forget to follow them on twitter for chances to get free dinges (toppings) and if you check in 10 times on foursquare? You'll get a free jar of their glorious speckuloos spread ;) read more

After watching Bobby Flay and his throwdown making Belgian waffles and losing to the owner of Wafels and Dinges, I knew I had to try it. My first waffle I ate was from the cart in front of Columbus Circle, the second time was from inside of Central Park, and my last two times was in front of the Century 21 in Lincoln Center. Every time I had it, it was just SO DELICIOUS in every location. Pay for the toppings you want, and enjoy a savory waffle with great texture and flavor. I personally love a speculoos and banana Belgian waffle with whipped cream. I cannot believe it took me this long to discover this. Definitely note it as a place to go on your to-do list :) read more

I was actually on the way to a Starbucks, to grab a coffee and wait for some friends meeting me in a few, when I passed a cart. The air around the area just smelled like delicious coffee and waffles and my business was quickly persuaded their way. I had a waffle with just banana slices as a topping and a latte. So delicious, not overly sweet with just the fruit topping. It was a great choice and I will stop at one of these again soon! read more
OH MY! Without a doubt, THEE best waffles ever I have ever had. EVER! These waffles are little pieces of heaven, I'm not even exaggerating. The waffles are sugar coated and crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the side. You're allowed one side with your order..my fatty self got butter because butter makes everything taste better. :) I'm so sad they only serve New York, I really hope they would consider expanding to California. Wafels & Dinges, if you're reading this, PLEASE CONSIDER EXPANDING TO LA!! read more
My first NYC food truck experience and I loved it! The waffle was fluffy and made fresh, topped with your choice of spread and whipped cream. My husband got the bbq pulled pork on waffle, which I thought was delicious, but my husband thought the combo of Belgian waffle and pulled pork was weird. Oh well, when I come back to NYC, I will come back again! read more

Waffles are about my favorite thing in life, and these really hit the spot! I've always wanted to go to Belgium for the waffles, and this is exactly what I imagine it being like. I got the thicker waffle (can't remember the name) topped with strawberries, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. Truly phenomenal! read more
Can't go wrong with Belgian Waffles. This food truck spits out very good belgian waffles. We ordered the throwdown waffle and the WMD waffle. The throwdown waffle is a waffle that comes with spekuloos spread (Trader Joe's Cookie Butter) and whipped cream. We decided to add some dulce de leche on it since... come on, it's dulce de leche. The WMD has whipped cream with strawberrys and chocolate syrup. Both waffles were amazing. Crispy, airy, soft, and tender, this is how waffles should be. The spekuloos spread complimented the waffles very well. Chocolate + strawberries + waffles?? Game over. Wafels and Dinges, you the man bro read more

Pros: (+) Waffles & Nutella?? Heck yes!!! (+) Spekuloos (+) Outdoor seating (+) Near Central Park (+) Inexpensive (+) Coffee & shakes (+) Option for unlimited toppings (+) Open late Cons: (-) None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My review is based on the cart. It used to be located at Columbus Circle but due to issues with taxis it was relocated here. I came here for a quick dessert to take home before hitting the train and was surprised that at 11:30pm at night they were still open! Yes!! Try the Spekuloos and Nutella - it's worth it. My fav is the Nutella with strawberries - yum! It's near Central Park so perfect to grab a dessert to take to the park in the afternoon. There is also seating around the area so you can just pick up a quick bite while chatting it up with a friend. If you're visiting New York, it's worth the hype to try this place out. #waffelsanddinges #waffles read more
What a great food cart! There's apparently a traveling cart and this one is the permanent location near Central Park. The waffles make for a great delicious snack and the lady working there was super friendly! I got the Liege waffle with spekuloos and strawberries. The spekuloos was a unique, yummy spread that was not too sweet and went well with the waffles. The great thing is that you can buy a jar of the spekuloos spread to take home with you! read more
I ate a hearty breakfast and a tasty snack before we ended up here. This was when my hollow leg kicked in. The waffle with the spekuloos spread is sinfully delicious! My friend and I shared one and he managed to get powdered sugar on his shirt. So while he was busy cleaning his shirt, I took bites of the waffle. At a certain point my discipline kicked in and I handed it back to him exclaiming that "This is so freaken good, it must be laced with crack!" Good thing I stopped because we ended having Roberta's pizzas with other visiting West Coasters afterwards! read more

I bookmarked this place before my NYC trip but never think I would have time to try it because I only stayed there for four days, Randomly one night, I passed by this place and was so excited! I got the one with fresh strawberries. OMG it was so good. The texture of the waffle was perfect. Crunchy at the edge and soft in the middle. The strawberries were sweet and fresh. Just PERFECT. Wafels and Dinges, I miss you a lot! read more
Knew I had to try this place while in NYC earlier this year, and glad I did! The waffle is warm, dense, & chewy. I topped my waffle with a thick layer of speculoos spread, a drizzle of chocolate, and powered sugar. Sliced bananas or strawberries would have made this waffle even better though! read more

The waffles were as good as reviews claim! I had the basic waffle with speculoos+bananas and enjoyed my food :) The waffles are dense and chewy but not so much that they can't be cut with a cheap plastic fork and knife. Friends ordered the bacon waffle and the pulled pork waffle. Both are sufficiently meaty. The bacon waffle seems to have tiny bacon pieces inside? And I think it's cooked with bacon fat. Seems a bit plain considering the price, but it definitely tastes like bacon. There's just no chunk of meat... Which would have been nice haha The pulled pork waffle was... Confusing. It was too sweet despite trying not to be. What does that mean? Well I think they tried to make it a meatier, more meal-like entree but the BBQ sauce is rather sweet and the waffle itself was sweet so the overall effect was "meaty-dessert" instead of "meal" Speculoos... Could have been spread with a more generous hand considering the high prices they charge, but was still an appropriate amount. I had enough for each bite. Since I wanted a sweet item and it was served piping hot on a frigid winter day....I have only one real complaint: the prices are too steep. read more
