Ordered: Megaberry, BC Breakfast Came here at around 11 and was glad to have some brunch. We ordered the Megaberry Waffle and the BC Breakfast. The Megaberry Waffle was amazing. Waffle was fluffy, berries were sweet and tart, and nothing was overpowering the other. Instead, the flavors blended perfectly together. If you like sweet breakfasts, this is the one for you! On the other hand, I also enjoyed the BC Breakfast, but was kinda sad when our bacon came out extra extra extra crispy (burnt). On me for not asking for a new one, but we still enjoyed our breakfast nonetheless. Toast was buttered, eggs were runny, mushrooms were mushrooms, and the home fries were a nice touch. Service was great, our waiter was really nice and welcoming. The place is pretty decently sized and there's plenty of seating.

9/18/2025 Ate List: B.L.T. - 8.3 Berry Waffle - 8.1 Breakfast spot for lunch. Was pleasantly surprised that their BLT delivered on my cravings. Would absolutely have again. We also split their Berry Waffle - felt like we couldn't not get a Waffle from a spot with Waffle in the name. Super sweet. Very delicious. Could see this one satisfying a craving too.

Arrived on a Sunday right at opening. Plenty of seating. The staff were friendly and super attentive. It was almost impossible to decide on what to order, as I wanted to try many things. (I'd suggest going with a group to share and sample!) Decided on the PB Cheesecake Waffe - YUM! The waffle itself was fluffy & delicious. A perfect combo of PB and chocolate toppings. I did spoon off some of the PB cheesecake topping as there is ALOT and I didn't need it in every bite. You won't regret trying this place!

Leggo my Eggo? No. Leggo the Eggo and get a REAL waffle from Waffles INCaffeinated! I met a new friend for a casual Sunday brunch and even though it was poppin inside we were sat right away - twice even, as we were both sat independently of each other! When we finally paired up, there was too much good stuff to choose from so I went with the Waffle Frolic. One quarter had chocolate and berries, and one had like a peach cream cheese frosting. Pretty dang epic. But wait, it gets better. Every had a savory waffle? One quarter was covered in a damn fine version of sausage gravy, and one had bacon, cheese, and green onions both inside AND on top! My friend had the classic Chicken & Waffles, which was made with boneless chicken tenders - bonus points for that. The "caffeinated" part of their name was excellently represented by their signature latte: hazelnut, vanilla, and - a favorite of mine - maple mix with espresso and milk, complimenting both the sweet AND the savory parts of my dish. The service was friendly and prompt, even though it was a little busy. It's my first 5-star review in the Pitt, and I will definitely be back to try their crepes!

The big kitchen window that everyone can see & hear what's going on in the kitchen. Not a pleasant view when trying to eat peacefully.

I am VERY disappointed in how this place runs! First, let me start off with the good. Our female waitress was very genuine and attentive. The food was amazingly tasty. I ordered half a waffle with Nutella & banana, it was just the right amount of drizzle. Now let's get into the bad... I noticed a white male behind the kitchen, which I believe appears to be head honcho being EXTREMELY rude to his chefs & staff. Mind you, everyone in this restaurant can see & hear what is going on through the big kitchen opening. I couldn't enjoy my food while being triggered on how this man was treating the staff. Our waitress along with another female waitress were running around rushing orders while this man was yelling "order ready". Look sir, if you see these poor women behind & want this business to run smoothly then why don't YOU step up & help out by delivering those plates yourself. I couldn't help but feel heartsick & concerned for these workers.

The ambiance of this place has so much potential. Super bright, attention-seeking orange walls, great graphics on the wall, good music playing. It's a welcoming location indeed. Our server, Amber, was the sweetest also! Super attentive, always asking my table if were okay and if we liked the food and/or needed anything. Which of course, is always appreciated. Outside of that, the food... was okay. I ordered the waffle with gravy. My boyfriend ordered another one (I'll add the name if he reminds me), and I wish the chefs left my waffle on the maker longer. Like was it good? Yes, but because you're putting heavvvvyyyy gravy on top of my waffle, I think they should have been kept in the maker for the full (estimated) 5-minutes, to give the customer more time to enjoy it without it getting soggy. I felt the same for both my and my boyfriend's food. If it isn't eaten in the first 20-minutes, it just all becomes one big mush. MAYBE this was due to us arriving under the last-hour of the location being closed on a Saturday, but... upon visiting Pittsburgh the entire weekend, we only went once. If that says anything. : )

StrawNana Cheesecake Waffle and BC Jr breakfast.

Amazing! Everything went well. I highly recommend the strawnana cheesecake waffle. Also, the BC breakfast is a great choice. Chase G was a great server, really on point. He was very attentive and checked up on use often to ensure we were pleased with the food and service.

Waffles Incafeeinated was one of the pleasures so far on my trip to Pittsburgh. A nice cozy place serving large portions of what else - waffles and other tasty breakfast items. Waffles are made in an infinite variety and are soft and succulent. The syrup is not too sweet but savory, with a hint smokiness. I did not indulge in the Waffles, but they serve a wide variety of other breakfast staples, including omelets ,home fries, and other items. The breakfast combo was a hearty 3 eggs, a large amount of potatoes, and delicious well made bacon. My friend had link sausages with her order that had a savory taste with a hint of maple infused within. The service was great, and we were well taken care of, even though they were swamped due to the furry convention (yes! ) occurring that weekend. It is a great place, and we'll stop by again for breakfast while we're here, as it is one of the best places in the downtown area.

Didn't love my meal here. At face value, the place sounds great. made to order waffles with your choice of mix ins and toppings. The concept is fantastic, the execution struggled. I found the waffle to be a bit brittle. It would just crumble to pieces every time I tried to cut it. There were lots of little details that seemed off too. -the maple syrup was very runny, as if it was watered down to make it last longer - I asked for some butter, got what looked like a slice that was cut off of a bigger stick and put into a plastic carry out sauce cup....it was wasteful and disappointing. I was hoping for some nice whipped butter that would melt into my waffle - that brings me to the waffle, as I spread the butter on, it came nowhere close to melting. Odd that a Fresh made waffle wasn't warm enough to melt butter -the apple topping was just chopped up red delicious apple pieces. At a place like this I would expect to get a nice warm gooey cinnamon apple topping...I guess not I got great service, the waitress I had was great. but noticed other tables around me seemed to be ignored and have long waits to order coffee and meals Will definitely seek other breakfast options next time I come to town

The ambience in this place wasn't the best, but we needed to eat. I really wasn't in the mood for waffles with a bunch of stuff on it, so I ordered the Southwest Omelette with home fries and an iced chai. My hubby ordered the country benedict. The iced chai arrived while we were waiting for our food. I was so confused when I tasted it. I can only imagine the expression on my face when I took a sip and it tasted like apple milk. It was disgusting! I had my hubby taste it and he had the same response, and then waved down the server and then he took it away and removed it from our bill, which was nice. My hubby enjoyed his country benedict. My SW omelette and "home fries" were weird. The omelette had those cheap sausage nuggets in it and the pico did not taste like pico. The "home fries " were sautéed soggy potatoes and sweet potatoes with lots of peppers and onions. The texture of the potatoes was soft and one of the sweet potato pieces was so bitter I had to spit it out in my napkin. Didn't really like the vibe of this place, or the food. I gave them 3 stars because the server took care of the iced chai and my hubby liked his food. Will go somewhere else for breakfast next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

Mildred O.

We came on a Tuesday morning so it was not as crowded. The inside of the restaurant is bright orange. Our server, Laura, was very friendly and helpful. Laura and made some recommendations so I tried the Waffle Frolic. For those who can't decide then this is the way to go as you get 4 different waffles. They also have mimosas and lattes! Be prepared to walk off those waffle choices....

The Benny was a fun new twist on eggs Benedict. I had to add salt, but other than that it was delicious. I was concerned about the accessibility .

I will absolutely come back to Waffles INCaffeinated next time I'm in Pittsburgh! I got the chicken and waffles- it was hands down the best I've ever had The chicken tenders were just that, tender and not too much breading. I could tell they were hand breaded and fresh. The waffle was light and fluffy, and soaked up the delicious maple syrup perfectly. I appreciated the lightness of the syrup, as it doesn't have corn syrup in it. The pecans were the perfect touch, and what brought it to the next level for me. Our server, Loraleigh was the best! She welcomed us in with a smile and offered excellent service. Very attentive and kind throughout our visit. You're in good hands with her. 10/10 read more

Best waffle ever! It melted in my mouth but it was not mushy. The waffles flavor is tough to describe maybe except your going to love it. Eggs, bacon and sausage were delicious. Even the home fries were tasty and I don't really care for them at most places. All the staff was super friendly. I wish I would have taken a photo! read more

Nearby garage parking, easy to locate, super fast ordering system, indoor seating and delicious food. Collectively, we ordered the following. - A la carte: Bacon, Home Fries and Blueberry Toast - Amazingly tasty. - Chicken and Waffles (boneless breast): Perfectly prepared and yum. - BC Breakfast - 3 eggs, 2 slices of toast and choice of meat (Cranberry Chicken Sausage Links) w Home Fries and Fruit: Plentiful and flavorful.

I'd probably give this like a 3.5/5! I might have just ordered the wrong thing though. Usually I love chicken and waffles, but mine was super dry and also didn't come with the toppings that were listed on the menu, which was weird. My boyfriend got the southern waffle and that looked really yummy I was jealous lol. I think next time i'd either order the berry waffle or the tasting option that included 4 different quarters of waffles. Both of those looked super good. I thought for almost $16, my waffle should've had a little something extra to it rather than just being a plain waffle with some pecans and chicken tenders on top - but I digress lol. I would definitely come back here and probably just order something else!! :) read more

I've wanted to try this restaurant for awhile, without knowing too much about it other than there were waffles and breakfast food! There are a lot of choices here, but I love the combination of bananas and peanut butter, so I went with the Funky Monkey. It was very tasty. Maybe not the healthiest option on the menu, but I didn't regret my decision! The home fries I had on the side were a mix of different colored potatoes, which made for a nice display. They were fried with a few onions and peppers. The service was very efficient. Overall recommended! read more

I'm not sure if it's just the culture of the city, but everyone was a bit short and unwelcoming. The service was incredibly slow. We were a party of 4, and I had my toddler with me. I had to explain to her how waiting this long (about an hour) was not normal and applauded her ability to be patient. If you have a few hours to spare, this may be a good spot to come. But eat before you come. By the time you get your food, it'll be time for your next meal. read more

It was on a whim that i strolled over with a coworker, since the sandwich shop was overflowing. It was a win win of great customer service, easy seating, nice ambiance for a busy afternoon. And after devouring my chicken and waffles with gravy, the waitress mentioned it's her favorite also. I apologize the photos wouldn't have done it justice. And I sent kudos to the chef! Made every bite worth it. (I did like the hot sauce mixed in with the gravy but that's my personal preference.) yum! read more

This is the third waffles location we've tried and let me tell you they don't miss. We were celebrating and started off with a boozy hot cocoa that really warmed us up from the inside out. I'm a sucker for the sampler waffle because I just can't make up my mind. It has two savory options and two sweet options. Everything is made fresh and exactly how you'd like. The breakfast potatoes are one of my favorites!!! read more

Let me just start by saying this is the perfect place to end up the morning after a night of drinking. The food was perfectly greasy yet somehow balanced. I got the gluten free chunky monkey waffle and a side of bacon. The waffle was excellent and not at all as dry as I expected. Two of my friends had their BC breakfast platter with eggs, choice of meat, and two sides. They loved the potatoes and the fresh fruit. My last friend got the strawberry crepes with Nutella. We are all in agreement that this is one of the best breakfasts we've all had in a long time. The waitress was kind and efficient. She brought over three of their different syrups: vanilla, bourbon, and maple. I had the maple on my waffle and it was a nice touch. The inside is slightly bare, but it is a great place for breakfast. It appeared as if many locals were coming and going too which surprised me for what appeared to be somewhat of a chain. Definitely check it out if you are in the area or have a restricted diet due to allergies!! read more

Specialties

A breakfast and lunch cafe specializing in gourmet Waffles. From savory to sweet creations, these aren't your grandma's waffles. The Waffle revolution has begun!

History

Established in 2010.

At Waffles, INCaffeinated, we believe breakfast should not be excluded from fine dining. We offer unique, delicious, and artistically plated dishes from scratch using various ingredients. We start with a sourdough waffle, perfectly prepared, buttery, crispy, and deliciously golden brown. Next, we create sweet waffle dishes such as the Megaberry with blueberries and raspberries, topped with strawberries, raspberry sauce, and whipped cream. Or we make it savory such as the Breakfast Magic with bacon, cheddar cheese, and scallions inside and out, crowned with a fried egg. We even have a Build Your Own option where YOU design the waffle! Additionally, our waffle dishes may be requested as We offer gluten, dairy, and soy-free. Also, vegan, low-carb, and no added sugar options. But we aren’t just waffles! We have omelets, French toast, sandwiches, and sides. “Wake up” your meal with one of our gourmet coffees and teas. We also offer custom cocktails, sparkling wine drinks, and craft beer.

She responded "well, how do you know that" to which I responded "we watched you take their names down after ours and sit them before us".

Nicky's Thai Kitchen

Seated via Phone Call (Dinner option only). Food allergy: Nuts…read more Food & Drink: - Mixed Drink(s): 4 / 5 "If I was a cow, I would tell all the other cows that this flower is toxic, so that I could keep it to myself." - My favorite distraction Presentation is everything when it comes to the drinks ordered at Nicky's and I absolutely love it. Not only do they look great, they taste great. It's always great to find a location that takes pride in their mixed drink selection. The only flag I have is if you order the Honey Bee Martini be prepared to feel like a bee is stinging you every time you take a sip. I enjoy spice, but even this had enough kick to make me savor it periodically. Disclaimer: Taste the flower at your own risk. Remember the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat". - Food: 4 / 5 Appetizer - When you think American cuisine, what do you picture? A hamburger? Hot dogs? An American Flag on the back of a Ford F-150 with a bald eagle in the driver seat? Even though all those can be true, I think of Crab Rangoon. Even as a non-crab person, I do enjoy popping one of these bad boys into my mouth after dipping it in the provided sauce. Nicky's uses a homemade pineapple sauce that adds just a slight tang on this small delight. Entrée - Bread wasn't the greatest creation of mankind. Actually, it was spice because that allowed Thai food to flourish. It has always been of my opinion that if you know how to use spices, then you can make any dish pop. We had the Pad Phet and Basil. Both dishes were absolutely flavorful and made each bite as enjoyable as the last. If you get a box, make sure to get two and a paper bag for reinforcement because if you have sauce left, you are going to want to pour that over your leftovers. Dessert - The sticky rice mango is definitely an interesting dish, but it had something in it that tasted like half and half and ruined any flavor that the mangoes held. The ice cream saved that sweet taste, but the sticky rice that lay below reminded me of a Rice Krispie treat that you found in a corner of your kitchen that was there for months and a friend dared you to take a bite. Disclaimer: You cannot eat the banana leaf...don't ask how we know. - Service: 4.25 / 5 When dining with someone who has a food allergy, you always worry about cross-contamination. Luckily, at Nicky's, even without disclosure, we had no issues at the end of the night. However, as the restaurant gets busy, the service definitely becomes slower, but if you have a great companion you honestly don't notice it. Nicky's also does a great job of not rushing you out the door as soon as the dessert has been finished and it seems each server helps the other servers if it becomes really busy, which isn't a bad system. It's worth noting there are standard charges including a pre-calculated tip, which is fairly common for restaurants of this style. - Vibe: 5 / 5 Nicky's is the exact reason why I started doing food reviews. By that, I mean I wanted to find interesting restaurants where you could sit down with other people, have a great conversation, enjoy some good food and just relax in the unique ambiance. - Overall: 4.25 / 5 My momma always said, "Thai food is a great indicator for a vibe check" and for my own personal add-on, "Great Thai food is how memories are made". If you are ever on the fence about certain people in your life, take them to Nicky's. By the end of the meal, you'll know where they stand. Recommend? Why is this even a question? Of course!

MEHHH.. super disappointed. This place was recommended by a hotel staff member when we asked where we can get a quick breakfast. The wait time to sit was 45 mins to an 1 hour. No biggie to me, I just was short on time and placed an order to go thinking I didn't have to wait as long. WRONG. After 40 mins of standing by the hostess area where I placed my order (breakfast magic I believed I ordered?), I asked her when my food would be ready. "Oh it's ready now, let me go get it" *eye roll* Sooooooooo you knew my order was ready to go but left me waiting how long extra since it was made just for me to bring it up to youuu???? So annoying. I had max 5 mins to eat the thing once I was able to sit outside by a bench and once I opened it, it ended up being a lousy regular waffle with a simple egg and some bacon crumpling on top. Cold obviously and the overall taste was just blah. I wasted 40 mins for this? A waffle takes literally 2-3 mins to make on a waffle maker and an egg another 2 mins.. I threw most of it out. I feel nausea now just thinking about the taste. read more
