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.
Couldn't believe this place was empty when I came through but I'm glad I didn't have to wait. Waffle was amazing. Visited around St Patrick's Day and they had a corn bread waffle, stuffed with cheddar and sausage, and topped with avocado... weird but so, so good.
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!
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
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!
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. : )
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.
Went here for breakfast. The place was small yet clean. The server was very nice and attentive. I thought the food was just ok!
I was downtown anyway and was in the mood for a waffle. I had a mega berry waffle. The service was excellent and super fast. The waitress was extremely friendly and upbeat. I do not particularly care for the location as it is hard to park. If you are downtown anyway and nearby it is definitely worth a trip. I personally prefer the other locations of Waffles Inc that are not downtown as there is no parking issues. read more

It was our first visit here and we enjoyed it. It was a Saturday morning so there was a little wait, which was fine. (Less than 15 min around 11:30am is not bad at all). We didn't realize they had fun drinks for breakfast so that was even better. I had the mimosapolitan which was a take on a regular cosmo and it was great. Our server was very attentive to us during our visit as well. The omelette with the roasted tomatoes in it was amazing. The roasted tomatoes had so much flavor! We would definitely be back. The prices are very affordable as well. read more

I had no knowledge of the fact that there was a restaurant in Downtown Pittsburgh that served the ubiquitous soul food dish of Chicken and Waffles. That is until two friends of mine said that they almost killed themselves by stuffing their faces at Waffles INCaffeinated. What???? Waffles INCaffeinated? I pass the place at least 4 days a week on my way home from work and for some reason, I just assumed that it was a coffee house. I already have a rotation of coffee houses that I frequent and I didn't feel the need to add a new one to the rotation. So, I was surprised to find out that this "coffee house" was actually Waffles INCaffeinated. So when I followed up on a lunch date that I promised a friend of mine, I suggested this restaurant. My friend ordered the CHICKEN AND WAFFLE - A Southern classic consisting of a pecan infused waffle with boneless, thick breaded, fried chicken pieces coated with a maple butter glaze and topped with scallions. I ordered the Caprese Crab omelet with Juicy tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, crab, and is garnished with black pepper. I also had onions and mushrooms added to my omelet and had wheat toast with it. Both dishes were delicious. In fact, my friend couldn't finish the Chicken and Waffles. (He said that the dish didn't look that big on the menu and he can throw down when it comes to food.) I, on the other hand cleared my dish and I was so glad that the omelet had a decent amount of lump crab meat. (I hate when some places open up a can of mystery crabmeat or worse, that fake wannabe surimi crabmeat. Yech!) My only complaint is that our waitress didn't tell me that the addition of mushrooms and onions was almost $5 and that service was a little slow. Other than that, everything was what one of my great-nieces calls "Easy Peasy". So, if you have a taste for all day breakfast/brunch food and you're in Downtown Pittsburgh, please check them out. read more

Arrived on a busy Sunday morning and was told about half an hour wait but luckily got seated in about 10 minutes. The service was very slow and I know it wasn't the servers fault but more so the short staff in the kitchen. I got an iced latte with an in house made syrup which was a combination of maple and vanilla which tasted good. I finished my latte before the food arrived. I got the appletina crepe but subbed bananas for apples. The crepe was filled with peanut butter with Nutella and bananas on top. They did not skimp out on fillings or toppings which most crepe places do. The side of scrambled eggs I got were good as well. Overall good breakfast place. read more

There aren't many good breakfast places in downtown on a Saturday morning so we were happy to find this cute place. I LOVE orange, and this place is painted orange, so naturally I was happy from the start. There are only about 20 tables, but at 9:00 on a Saturday it was packed. Our server was decent, not great. I ordered a decaf coffee and the coffee was excellent!!!! Wish they used a bigger cup, as I had to keep tracking our server down for a refill. It's probably the smallest cup I have ever seen in a restaurant. The menu is varied, and of course there are waffles of every kind, with any kind of topping you can think of. I opted for a BLT, which also had avocado. It was served with chips, sprinkled with something. The sandwich was good, not great. The food came hot and looked nice. I saw many other plates and everything looked yummy. Would definitely return. Also, if you use the yelp app, you can do an on-line check in for a spot in line. read more

Absolutely fantastic food. They do aMAZING THINGS with waffles both sweet and savory. The Southern waffle is so good. That being said my experience was one of the slowest restaurant I've been to in a very long time. 45 mins to get food. I went at 1030 after a 40 min wait. If you have kids - I do not recommend. But if alone - the food is great! read more

We love Waffles INCaffeinated. Great service and tasty food every time! We've been there quiet often, as it's my parent's favorite breakfast place to eat at when they visit. The wait does get long on the weekend, but if you put your name on the yelp waiting list on your way it shouldn't be too bad! read more
Love Love LOVE ! Waffles Incaffeinated brings positive vibes, energy and atmosphere, along with a fulfilling assortment of waffles! I had the "Funky Monkey". This waffle was packed with peanut butter, bananas and chocolate ! Those three make for a field day with your tastebuds! If those items aren't your thing, no worries ! They have about 15 different kinds ! I'm sure you'll find the right waffle for you! If you're in the downtown Pittsburgh area, check them out ! read more

I was so excited when a downtown location was added!! And this did not disappoint at all! The absolute best veggie omelette I've ever had. It was filled with veggies and cheese and topped with feta cheese and a chipotle drizzle. Usually I add hot sauce to my omelettes but this was so flavorful it wasn't needed. The home fries are delicious! This location like all the others are very busy so I recommend either calling ahead or use the No Wait App! read more

Solid brunch spot. Service was fast and the food was delicious! I'm glad they opened one in downtown where we didn't have to worry about being guaranteed a seat. Make sure to get there on the earlier side on Sundays though! We got a bottomless coffee, signature latte, sacre bleu-berry, country mile, and shared the home fries. read more

Amazing staff and delicious food. This is in the old Macy's building on the 5th ave side. You know when your in the right area, when you can smell waffles. This place was truly amazing. I had this sensational craving for waffles and now the craving magnified because these were that good. I kind of want to try all their creations. I have the Chicken and Waffles, and a friend had the Country Benedict. Both award winning and had us hooked on this place. We also tried the Veggie Omelette which is loaded with feta. A Dream come true. read more
The food was amazing. This was my second time eating here. The first time was ok. But this time it was fantastic ! The potatoes are an assortment of different potatoes. Everything is picture perfect. Only downside is not a lot of vegetarian options. I got eggs which I eat once in awhile. Definitely a great breakfast place ! read more

Summary if you don't want to read whole review: I will recommend this place to EVERYONE who LOVES waffles! They were AMAZING . Review: I travel for work and decided on Waffles Incaffenated for breakfast after looking at some of the reviews online. I went in and was immediately welcomed with a warm greeting and placed my order.... Now there is no signage on the inside that says the menu and as soon as you enter there's the cashier, after remembering some items I looked up on their website beforehand, I chose chicken and waffles without the scallions.... I placed a to go order thinking it was like my cafe back home, you place your order sit down at a table and it comes to you. Not in this case, you ask to be seated and then order once a waiter or waitress comes by.. that's my bad, I didn't realize how they were set up. What I liked was once I received my food, I asked if I could eat in since I had mistakenly ordered it to go. The staff was SO NICE and let me dine in once they learned I had wanted to in the first place. Now for the food, it was VERY reasonably priced for a small business! I ordered a chicken and waffle without scallions. There were FOUR CRISPY fried chicken strips on top of a PERFECTLY COOKED waffle with candied walnuts both on and inside the waffle with syrup on the side. It was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, I almost didn't need the syrup! The cashier was an amazing help when I ordered a coffee since I'm not a big coffee drinker and just liked "sweet" coffee. He made my coffee PERFECT! Overall 10/10 I will be coming back! read more

Waiter with the captivating rings was definitely helpful. He showed us to our table for a party of 3 when all the other waiters told us, "it'll be a couple of minutes." However, two different parties that arrived after us were able to go, and there were plenty of seatings. Kudos to the waiter with the rings who helped us immediately after about 15 minutes later and also waited our tables. 4 stars to the peculiar beginning event. Waffles tasted great. I got the sacre bleu-berry and the honey marscapone fluff was yummy! read more

Came here Sunday while visiting Pittsburgh, had a little wait so walked around a bit seeing more sites. Once seated our server was very attentive. I ordered the latte with vanilla and it was very good. For breakfast the boyfriend and i split the chicken and waffles and a funky monkey. The head chef in the kitchen is loud and funny and made it a fun environment. Would definitely come back if in the city again. read more
Honestly, I'm more of a pancake man myself but since I found myself eating breakfast in a place with waffles in the name I felt compelled to go all in. To get a nice sampling I ordered the Waffle Frolic, which gets you two sweet and two savory waffle "quarters". First off, I must say these were much fluffier than the average waffle so that was already winning me over, but the toppings and flavors were real stars of the meal. I was especially impressed with the sausage gravy; being from the south I tend to be skeptical of gravy found north of the Mason-Dixon line, but theirs was excellent! The brewed coffee was very good and my wife enjoyed her decaf latte. In terms of the restaurant itself, it was clean and bright with a large open dining area. We had to wait maybe 25 minutes on a Saturday; the line moved quickly but if you plan to arrive after 10a I'd be prepared for a good wait on the weekend. The servers were very friendly and prompt. There are other brunch options in downtown Pittsburgh, but if you are a fan of waffles I would definitely give this place a visit. read more

Best home fries I have ever eaten!! Service was good All the food was awesome! Definitely will be back for the chicken and waffles!! read more
Great, affordable diner in Pittsburgh. The location I went to is in downtown off 5th. The service is quick, and the restaurant offers weekly specials. There are tons of waffles to choose from - many savory to sweet options - and the portions are plentiful. You can also order other traditional breakfast entrees - which are also big portions. read more
Soooo good!! I love waffles and this place does not disappoint! So many really yummy choices. I was very impressed with my strawberry waffles and my friends enjoyed all of their choices as well. Great food, great service, fast, and affordable. I left full and happy! read more

Stopped here for some breakfast the other day as I was coming back from a night downtown. The hostess and waitress were friendly and they were playing trendy jams giving a hip vibe. I ordered a coffee water and orange juice which all arrived quickly. The coffee wasn't the best and the orange juice was also marginal. I ordered the carnivore omelet which was pretty good. It was a meat omelet topped with another egg cooked in a different style with a side of home fries. It was a creative dish but overall entirely too salty. I would like to return and try a waffle dish as that is what this place is known for! read more
