Kitchen hard at work. You could see they take pride in what they do.
Norberto M.

This place was amazing! Chicken and waffles were on point! Very filling. The place was clean and can get a little noisy due to how many people are waiting to be seated along side the ones who are already eating or waiting for food. The waffles were cooked to perfection with the right softness in side and a perfect crisp on the outside. The home fries were delicious. If I ever go back to Pittsburgh, it would definitely be on my list for breakfast. Would highly recommend anyone to give them a try. Lines can get long at certain times. I'd get there early or try calling to put your name down while you head there.

Megaberry, BC Breakfast
Tiffany T.

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.

Corned Beef Waffle
Edwin R.

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.

Berry Waffle
Jeremy B.

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.

Kitchen, Where the magic happens!
Kendra K.

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!

Chicken and Waffles
Hannah M.

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

Signature Latte

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.
Laura V.

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. : )

The waffle sampler and loaded fries was BOMBBBB!!

I have to say the service was F******* horrible! But the food was amazing, but the experience I had I wouldn't go back

StrawNana Cheesecake Waffle and BC Jr breakfast.
Cliff M.

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.

The French Toast was another interesting combination. The strawberry jam with syrup made this the perfect sweet treat. Lastly, my husband left no crumbs with his Patty Melt. He ate it just as quickly as it came! While I wish the interior design had been given more thought--such as displaying pictures, murals, and nicely arranged flowers on the tables to enhance the experience--the food more than made up for what the interior lacked. We both had a wonderful experience here and would highly recommend it to others.

Who'd a thunk, a waffle breakfast sandwich?!? YUM!!…read more Nice, clean and cozy store. Warm and welcoming staff greet you when entering. A bright and fun atmosphere here. Outdoor seating is also available. Ordering is available with a kiosk or a person. The menu includes breakfast sandwiches, a wide variety of waffles, and coffee.

I have seen this store every time that I drive through Oakland. With the bright yellow facade, hilarious logo emoji, and a stellar location on Forbes, they definitely stand out! I ordered a Sweet Waffles 3x Pack! - The O.G. - you always have to order the original and this one was named accordingly. The flavor sounded simple, but this was actually my favorite! The Honey and Cinnamon Sauce paired so well and didn't over power the flavor of the waffle. The waffles are crisped on the edges with fresh pops of sugar and an airy soft interior! - Quilted Pig - the names are so clever! Sweet Maple Sauce drizzled over candied bacon crumbles, this pig piled over the quilted waffle squares! The sweetness was refreshing to the salty pops of bacon! They keep the bacon extra crisp by candying it too. - Chip Chip Hooray - a cookie lovers dream with cookie butter and chocolate sauce slathered over chocolate chips. I definitely could have gone for more Cookie Butter but this delivered on sweetness. More of a dessert, but they do call them Sweet Waffles!! They also run seasonal flavors and Wow Flavors!! I can't wait to come back here and try more waffles!

I didn't want biscuits or an Egg Sandwich, so I chose this cafe because it had the most menu options to choose from. Also, the location was close enough to our hotel, without driving too far, which was perfect. Although the space is small, this cafe has a lot of charm. It was vibrant and full of energy, and the staff was attentive, ensuring our visit was comfortable and orderly. I'm so happy that my husband & I visited around 9am, because we were seated right away. We came hungry, so we quickly placed our orders, and the food arrived shortly after. The food was excellent. We both ordered the Spicy Chicken Omelette and it was very good. The chicken was flavorful and cooked well. It wasn't spicy at all. Even the breakfast potatoes were crispy and lightly seasoned. And our beverage, two Peach Palmers, was lightly sweetened and refreshing. This cafe is a good place to visit if you're in the area. Plenty of street parking, quick and efficient service, and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it.

This business has given me some of the most dismissive customer service that I have ever received in my life. Most recently, I called in late September 2026 to ask about their high tea, and I was open to take whatever their next available weekend date was in the coming months. The employee had a tone as if she did not want to be bothered. She told me that she would call me back, and it is the end of October, and I have not yet received a call back. I give up on this business!

We stopped by this location of Pamela's and instantly, I felt like I was transported into a retro 50s/60s diner. The multi-colored walls are decorated heavily with old-school board games. There's a veil of grease in the air that screamed the classic diner experience. SAUSAGE & CHEESE OMELETTE + Lyonnaise potatoes (side) + whole wheat bread (toast) The sausage & cheese (we asked for Swiss instead of American) omelette itself wasn't anything worth raving about as it was pretty typical. However, the Lyonnaise potatoes were phenomenal. It's that in between "hash and mash" texture, and it was seasoned incredibly well. The potatoes were definitely the highlight here, and the omelette was good protein, I guess. Definitely forgot about the whole wheat bread.
