Nice place to try famous Belgian waffles. We stopped by Waffle Factory in August 2023 during our day trip to Brussels. The place is tourists-oriented, fast-food style, but we found it good for Belgian waffle experience. Though more upscale and fancy places may have better waffles we only tried them in Waffle Factory and liked it. The waffles were fresh and tasty with a good selection of toppings. We left completely satisfied and put a bold checkmark against "Try Belgian waffles" item on our "Things to do in Belgium" list :) We recommend this place if you are looking to try Belgian waffles in the center of Brussels.
Who goes to Brussels without getting waffles? There are tons of waffle options in the city and this is more of a chain/fast food waffle restaurant but the waffle was amazing. You can customize your waffles to be savory or sweet. I certainly went heavy on the sweet! A must try if you are in Belgium
Europe 2023 - Belgium A quick taste of Belgium waffles. The waffles here are sweet and crisp. Drizzled with white chocolate for more sweetness.
Should have gone with my gut and gotten waffles from somewhere else. The place was busy and service was slow. Staff wasnt overly friendly either. You order at a kiosk and wait for your food. We ordered two different waffles and both was mediocre. They seemed a little under cooked. I wish they were crispier but i think it was because they were so busy that they were trying to get them out as fast as possible.
Very fast service! I got two waffles and sweet one and savory. You order took a kiosk and pick up your food at the counter! Very yummy waffles! There are so many different kinds and I will definitely be coming back! Good upstairs seating for good people watching!
This is a corner waffles shop just a minute away from Grand Place. Therefore, it is a good idea to grab a waffle and sit in the huge square, enjoy the treat, and people-watch. I thought the waffle here was pretty delicious, not the best in Belgium, but still pretty good nonetheless. Be sure to get some dark chocolate and whipped cream on top!
Belgian waffles were must-tries on our trip to Brussels. We went to the first waffle shop we could find, which was Waffle Factory. The place was popping with customers, so we figured that if the place was that busy then it must be decent. Waffle Factory did not disappoint. I got to try the Liege Waffle and Brussels Waffle. I chose to get them plain (or without the toppings) so that I could ger a basis of each. The Brussels Waffle was what I tried first. It comes in a rectangular shape and has powdered sugar on top. The dough is much more airy and light, and the edges of the waffle were crispy. The Liege Waffle was better than the Brussels Waffle. It's a lot like a homemade thick waffle. I loved the slight sugary sweetness on the Liege.
When in Brussels this place is a must stop for Belgium waffles!! The ambiance inside is nice and relaxing and the staff is very friendly. I had the Liege with Nutella with whip cream and it never disappoints. The trip prior I had the same, but with bananas. Both are amazing. Especially with an espresso coffee. Whenever I'm in town this is always the 1st stop for me! If you plan on walking around the Grand Palace and you are close to The Manneken Pis then drop by this Waffle Factory instead of all the other places you'll see. You won't be disappointed! It's right on the corner near that Manneken Pis. Less than a 3 minute walk from it.
They have easy to work kiosks you order from. We also tried a savory waffle which was interesting because it was stuffed but overall pretty good. Belgiums known for their waffles and this didn't disappoint.
This is a pretty solid 4 rating! The waffle itself was so really crispy and good! However it was a little cold and clearly wasn't freshly made. However the toppings that we got made it so flavorful and amazing. I recommend getting Belgium dark chocolate and hazelnut cream with strawberries or banana on top for the extra toppings. The only thing I would say that's bad is the employee(there was only one), was not very enthusiastic and just looked like they wanted to go home. Otherwise I would recommend!
A pretty good option for someone wanting to try Belgian waffles while in Belgium. There are a few different 'meal' options, and I opted for the savory waffle with a sweet waffle - both yummy! I tried the Norwegian and the salmon tasted fresh & complimented the cream cheese well. The sweet waffle was a Liege waffle with the popular sauce topping that I cannot think of (it was a sweet topping as well). I'm sure there are other places to find delicious waffles, but overall, not a bad one and it hit the spot for the craving. Prices aren't terrible.
Jan. 4, 2023 Wednesday ~ 16:00 - Server was friendly despite busyness! - Waited a few minutes for my waffle Orientale- chicken emmental curry tomato was so hot (hand warmer) and delicious not too oily nor salty! this savory €7.10 waffle! - expect to use credit card or EXACT CHANGE in cash!!! - didn't go upstairs since I ordered to go
Very trendy place so prepare for the wait. Wanted to try Belgium waffle but disappointed because it is not what I expected. I got waffle with white chocolate and banana and the dough was not cooked. The waffle was chewy and had too much white chocolate. They are too fast to make it and waffle is not cooked all the way. Would definitely try another waffle place.
Casual spot for a waffle in Brussels. The service is super quick and for 5.9 euros I got a Belgian waffle with Nutella and whipped cream. They have liege waffles as well with plenty of topping options to choose from. The waffle itself wasn't my favorite. There wasn't anything that stood out to me. I tried a liege waffle elsewhere and preferred that over the Belgian one. There is plenty of seating available here. read more

The service is pretty fast. The food is mid. This was the first waffle I had while in Belgium and it was just OK. It wasn't as fluffy inside as I thought it would be, but it was good. It just wasn't as soft and fluffy as I thought. Takes a couple minutes to make the waffle, but generally pretty fast. There's indoor seating downstairs and upstairs you could also take it to go if you don't wanna dine in. Easy to order and they also have kiosk so you don't need to order at a register. read more

Good casual spot if you are looking to quickly grab some affordable yet tasty Belgian waffles in the centre of Brussels. Turns out they have both savory/lunch waffles as well as sweet dessert waffles. I got a full meal combo consisting of one of each. Crocwaf- This lunch waffle ("lunchwaf") had ham and cheese inside so tasted more like a sandwich. At first, I was a bit hesitant to try a savory waffle, but it ended up being tasty and great as an actual meal. Liege Banana Split- Unsurprisingly, this liege waffle topped with chocolate sauce, banana slices, and whipped cream was delicious and a great pairing with the crocwaf. It was €17.50 for these two waffles plus a drink, which is a decent deal for the combo. The place has a casual vibe with a decent amount of seating. You order on the screens by the entrance and take a buzzer which alerts you when you should go and pick up your order. The service speed is pretty quick. The restaurant is located very close to Mannekin-Pis and Grand Place, so a super convenient location. Overall, I wouldn't say Waffle Factory was a 5 star experience but it was certainly a solid 4 star experience, especially considering the location and value. read more

Being in Brussels, you need to try Belgian waffles. This was the first place we tried waffles in our three day stay. My mom liked them a lot, I just thought they were ok. The other waffle places we ate at were better. We ate a lot of waffles in our visit, so having a ton of options was worth it. However Waffle factory is extremely close to the square. They have upstairs seating with windows to enjoy the view. The waffle I ordered was sweet with a bit of cream. I did not want any other toppings. However, they have a ton of options with fruits etc. In drinks, I ordered a latte that was strong and aromatic. Overall, it's convenient to stop here to get a taste of waffles. Side Note- They do make them fresh and usually are busy. There is sometimes a line here. ~ read more
Waffle Factory has a great selection of Belgium and Liege waffles. The liege ones are smaller and less fluffy than the Belgium counterparts. We had the waffle with chocolate (Nutella) and it was incredibly fluffy, warm, and delicious! There is not much seating outside, so expect to stand or walk around with your food. read more
This place was recommended as 'the best place to have waffles in Brussels'... so I had to try it. It is a fast food-like hole-in-the-wall, with endless lines and an open kitchen. I tried the Liege waffle with strawberries and a cup of coffee. People are nice and very energetic - have to satisfy a large volume of customers. I had to wait in line for 10 min, but turnaround was quite fast. I wasn't impressed by the waffle though. It was a little overdone, with burned sugar and quite dry. I've had a better one from a local waffle truck... Verdict: it's an OK place ... but certainly not the best waffle experience in Brussels... read more

Tried the liege waffle and it was prepared very quickly. I didn't do any toppings as it was my first waffle and I wanted to have a good idea of what the base should taste like. The liege waffle is definitely more dense and chewy but I was left wanting more. Service was great. Waffle factory is good for a quick waffle on the go but not the best waffle I had in Belgium. read more
Liege waffles are the way to go, with Nutella! The waffle "cookie" was interesting, crunchy and warm filled with chocolate. I think it would be amazing if there were ice cream. The Belgium waffle (more fluffy) was just as good. But my heart is with the liege waffle, I just can't pass the chewy dense interior surrounded by a crisp buttery crust. Lines get a little long, even in the rain so be ready! read more
Great waffle place in the touristy part of Brussels, right by the Grand Place. When you peek through the window, you can see the baker making fresh waffle dough. It was great to watch them make my waffle from start to finish. I got the waffle with chocolate syrup, nutella, ice cream, strawberries and whipped cream on top. I know it's a lot but it was dessert time and I earned it after hiking around Brugge. It was delicious, hot, perfectly cooked and the toppings just made my evening a bit sweeter. It's a great little stop for something sweet. I didn't try their savory waffles, but I can definitely vouch for the sweet kind. read more
This place is annoyingly crowded. A tour group was in here when we went. They have two floors. You have to order downstairs and find a table if you wish to eat here which I don't recommend. There were people next to us who were just hanging out and didn't order/eat anything...they were there for the free wifi. The place is smokey and hot eventhough it's cold out. The ventilation system sucks. You'll leave smelling like smoke. But do they have good waffles? Well, yes but not as good as Dandoy's a few steps away. However, they have Nutella and Speculoos waffles here. Not only do they have Brussels and Liege waffles, they also have waffine which is like a thin waffle with filling in the middle. As an afternoon snack, we tried a Brussels waffle with Nutella, strawberries and banana; a waffine with Nutella; and a waffine with Speculoos. They were all good. I finished the 2 waffines and half of the waffle - I had to take a late dinner. So heavy! read more
Good waffle. Fast service and informative. Speculoo with the waffle is a must try if you've never had speculoo (the spread). 4€ for a flavored waffle, a little expensive but it fills you up. I would come back. Good variety of flavors. read more
Touristy spot for waffles. I thought prices were fair compared with other center city spots. The wait can be quite long and it's hot inside, so split up your party and claim a seat outside. They very clearly did not have enough people working to handle the small crowd. Inside and outside surfaces were dirty. My waffle with banana topping was good, if in desperate need of some kind of syrup; the cheesy lunch waffle was very tasty. I think the latter is worth a look, but if you're just going for a check-the-box waffles in Brussels experience, you can get one off the street and have a more pleasant time. read more
You are in Brussels for a short time. You have a limited amount of calories allocated to waffles. You want something good. Avoid this place. It's very touristy. Liege waffles are way too doughy and don't taste fresh. I get much better waffles than this in NY. read more
It's a nice waffle place. I ordered the combo with 1 savory & 1 sweet waffle. Savory waffle: I loved the tomato, cheese & basil flavor. It was fresh, warm & perfect for a rainy day. Leige waffle: I ordered Nutella & strawberry for toppings. I normally get the Belgian waffle, but tried leige waffle, as I had heard it was sweet & a crisper than normal waffle. But loved it. This place is centrally located, self-service kinda place. Seating is upstairs. Should come here for savory waffles. read more

Items Ordered: Liege with Melted Chocolate Brussels with Speculoos Ice Cream Although the Brussels Waffle and Gaufre Liege can be found on any number of streets in most of Belgium's major cities, it was Waffle Factory and its several location that seemed the most "chain-like" or "quick-casual" of all the shops visited during a recent trip, the process streamline by big boards and suggestions for customization while the results were actually on par with many others at a higher price. In this particular instance visiting the corner store at Rue du Lombard 30, a number of English speaking tourists just finishing up an order as the options were perused, a credit card friendly environment was a welcome change compared to places like Belgaufra or Le Funambule and taking the opportunity to double up on both styles of dough the process from entry to ordering to exit took less than ten minutes with the total tab just €7.50. Saying yes to Powdered Sugar, the dusting added before toppings including molten Dark Chocolate and a hefty scoop of Speculoos Ice Cream, opening bites of the Brussels version showed a good crunch over light malt with the Ice Cream unexpectedly high quality considering the low pricetag, a taste of the Liege Waffle proving to be even better with the Sugar Pearls melted to form a sticky caramelized base beneath a texture pillow-soft yet stretchy. read more

When in Belgium, you must have a Belgian Waffle. We were walking past and we had to stop. There was a long line out the door. Amazing tasting waffles. Definitely try caramelized waffles while here! Cappuccino was great too! read more

This is a chain that serves sweet and savory waffles and coffee. You can choose from at least two types of waffles: - Liège - what most people think when they hear "Belgian waffles". Thicker texture and sweet, with irregular edges. - Bruxelles - A very light waffle. Larger than the Liège and rectangular in shape. I prefer this one because it has a lighter texture and isn't so overwhelming. Choose from powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate, strawberries, bananas, etc. for toppings. They also have some lunch waffles that are savory and a variety of standard coffee drinks. Pricing is a little expensive, but hey, it's Europe.. probably at least 5 euros for a waffle, depending on toppings, and around 3-4 for coffee. Overall, a decent waffle place for a tourist! read more
