Both are the same price $5.99. The menu describes the differences between the two waffles. Liege is dense, sweet, crispy. Brussels is light, fluffy, less sweet. I can't remember if there's seating inside, but it's more of a pick up and go type of establishment. I'm drooling for another liege waffle as I type this review.

If you're a fan of Belgian waffles then you have come to the right place. They offer the two most…read morepopular types: liege which is very dense and sweet with a somewhat crunchy coating and the Brussels waffle which is very airy and fluffy on the inside but very crispy on the outside. I would recommend eating the liege waffle as is with a cup of coffee as it's quite sweet on it's own but if you want to jazz something up with all the fix-ins then the Brussels waffle is your bff. I like mine with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and bananas sprinkled with icing sugar and if I'm feeling really indulgent then adding on the scoop of vanilla ice cream too! To bring it home you could hold the strawberry compote topped on the ice cream on the side...yummmmmmyyy. Their service is great and super friendly. It's a cute and quaint cafe but quite a tight space.

This was hands down some of the best breakfast I've had anywhere. The food was so freaking delicious, and the lavender London fog was the best I've ever had. Seriously, I'm still thinking about it. The restaurant itself has so much character and is filled with beautiful art, making it just as fun to look around as it is to eat. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive even with how busy the place gets. If you're visiting Victoria, GO HERE. Honestly, go to Victoria just for The Blue Fox. It's that good. 5/5 without question!

So nice we went there twice!…read more Line queues up on the sidewalk. They bring people in based on the size of table available. Sunday morning we arrived at 9:20 and waited ~40 minutes. Monday morning arrived at 8:15 and were seated immediately (last 2-top). Service is great! Super friendly staff and some of them are a little cheeky! Food is great. Lattes are perfection and in really cute mugs. Each order comes with a lot of food! The avocado toast was huge. Eggs and protein come with a generous helping of potatoes and 2 slices of toast. Highly recommend, it's worth any wait you encounter!

The salmon main was absolutely delicious. The salmon roe added a texture were your mouthful just popped. The duck main was cooked perfectly. Did not taste gamey. The black rice or risotto in this dish was very tasty. The dessert of Panna cotta was delicious and had a citrus finish. The dessert feature of rhubarb cake was just meh. The white frosting had no taste and was thick on the cake. You finish out the meal with some jellies and some caramel Service was good but here is the reason for the low rating.... The main of the flat iron with arugala on the top with fries. They plated it and served it with a slug in it. The slug fell from inside the salad onto the plate . A baby slug. But it was living and moving. What followed was poor response and gaslighting of which this restaurant should be ashamed. In order not to disgust the others I stopped a woman that was working the floor to remove the plate. When I pointed to the slug why gave a small chuckle and half smile and stated, "well, it is farm to table." That is gaslighting. Right there that was a poor response. I see signs saying Michelin on this restaurant, but really...if you had served a slug to a someone rating you for a Michelin, you think you would get that rating? Highly doubtful. That should never have been served. Yes the restaurant cooked another meal which took longer. They cooked it just fine too....however their lackluster and empty words of well we do say it's farm to table doesn't replace an apology or an assurance of we will do better.

A solid spot with its own distinct vibe and an impressively long menu…read more Great for groups since there's something for everyone, and the portions are generous. Almost too much for one person. One thing that stood out: unlike most diners that only offer one brewed coffee option, this place lets you choose between regular and dark roast. Small detail, but appreciated. I went on a weekday morning, so there was no wait, but the space isn't very large, so I'd recommend making a reservation during peak hours. Staff were friendly overall, and the atmosphere is worth experiencing. That said, while the food was consistently solid, it wasn't particularly memorable. I ordered the Valentino, smoked salmon and poached egg on an English muffin with avocado, but the avocado was completely unripe, which brought down both the texture and the flavor. With a menu this wide, most dishes land in the "good" rather than "great" range, and execution details like that make a difference. If you're going for variety and the overall experience, you'll be satisfied, but if you're hoping for something exceptional, it may feel a bit underwhelming. Bottom line: a reliable brunch option for groups, as long as you're not setting the bar too high on the food itself.

Steve, myself and some in-laws went here in the morning after our overnight stay. There were a lot of good options to pick from sso we decided to share some of our meals with each other to try out a little bit of everything. I ordered just plain waffles, nothing with too many bells and whistles other than butter and syrup. The waffles were wonderful! Nice and airy where they needed to be and a very nice texture. Prepared to perfection actually. We also had the Rotisserie Chicken Hash also which was amazing. We were told to try a chicken dish while visiting Victoria and so we made sure we did. So very fresh and flavorful! Steve's sisters had good meals as well which made this a very enjoyable breakfast dining experience!

I love diners, and this one is fabulous!…read more Located right downtown by the inner harbor, on Government Street, this restaurant is large, with two separate doors 1/2 block apart. I loved the spacious interior with the retro diner aesthetic. I loved how it opens at 7am and has a lot of breakfast options, and all are reasonably priced. I love the booths, the soda counter, the chalkboard message board with daily specials on it. I love the cheery and attentive server we had. And, lastly, I love the food here! (I was here for breakfast and my eggs and bacon were EXACTLY how I ordered them, and they also made me a fantastic iced vanilla latte, too). The restaurant and the bathrooms were super clean, too (bonus!). I checked out the extensive menu and realized, heck, I should have come here the day before for lunch. They have so many sandwiches and burgers available. Just wow. IMO this place would be perfect for breakfast or lunch, or a late night snack. (I think they're open until 9pm). If you like traditional diner fare, this is the place to be, for sure.

The atmosphere was alright with dimmer lighting than other similar places which was nice for the mood, and the place was surprisingly louder than expected for the little people that were there. The waitress we had was friendly and nice, but also came by frequently to ask if we were done looking at the menu, with our food, wanting the bill. It felt very rushed despite there not being many other customers in the area. We were only in the restaurant for about 45 minutes today. The food was mediocre. I had the fried chicken and waffles, which looked good but tasted generic. The fried chicken was a bit dry and just tasted like it was seasoned with salt and pepper and that's about it. The waffle tasted like something anyone could make at home. My friend had the Caesar salad, which was drenched in sauce but otherwise looked alright. Overall, the food is on the pricier side, relative to the portion size being served. Expect to spend at least $30 to be full, not including drinks and dessert.
