Black Coffee and Waffle Bar

The 'naughty waffle' was a bit dry, and needed more almond butter or syrup. There was enough toppings otherwise. My bestie said the 's'mores waffle' was missing something. Could be whipped cream, or something extra besides mini marshmallows and some chocolate. I was happy with my 'baked potato waffle'. It was heavy pepper and I was good with that, but might be too much for others. I will say I think they have one of the BEST London Fog drinks here. You definitely should try it. The service wasn't anything to brag about. We didn't get a welcome, a thank you, or a goodbye. The few workers that helped us were not personable or very friendly. Personally, we felt like more of a bother. This may be small to some people, but these things mean a lot to me. I think these types or interactions or the shortcomings are more memorable than the dishes.

We were reading a lot of bad reviews about this place and though it was pretty dirty inside, the waffles were really good. They didn't take nearly as long as the reviews would suggest at least for us. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was decently busy. This is not a place that I feel like I need to come back to given how expensive it is for a waffle, but it was kind of fun.

FOOD: My waffle was sooo amazing, and they had so many unique and fun flavors! Honestly though, the coffee was the true star. My partner and I both said that it was the best coffee we have had in a long time!SERVICE: Both our food and drinks came out at a reasonable time and the staff was very friendly. AMBIANCE: Loved the vibe! Was very cozy and it made me want to snuggle up in the window booth and read a book!

I was at Rosedale mall with my daughter and niece. Started to crave coffee since we can smell the aroma in the air. I knew that I was feeling tired and decided to go sit at the food hall while the kids shop. First thing you see is this coffee booth at the entrance. I only order a white mocha, however I did notice the waffles looks delicious. There were a few tables eating the waffles. I will have to come back and try their waffles next time.

A group of us visited on a Sunday mid-morning around 10:45am. Walked in and quickly learned its seat yourself. Thankfully we found a large table right when we walked in; it's like it was meant for us. What I was very disappointed about is we never received any type of greeting when we walked in especially because staff were not busy helping other customers. A simple hello goes along way in my book. Even when I went up to the counter to order my meal/beverage, the gal wasn't friendly and very robotic in her response. I ordered the s'mores waffle and London fog. Unfortunately, the s'mores waffle was not what I expected it to be. It was missing something like whip cream and maybe butter. Just meh. This is the first time I've had a London fog and it was the perfect amount of spice, cream, and very tasty. The restaurant is seat yourself. Menu is on the wall near the counter where you order. I felt the restaurant was a bit cluttered with plants and seating.

As other reviews have mentioned, the waffles are delicious but the service is terribly slow. The service gets 2 stars, the food gets at least 4 stars, so I settled on an average of 3 for this experience. We came on Memorial Day around 12pm. They had several people dining in but there were still open tables and there was no line at the counter. We ordered some coffees and our waffles then went to sit down. Our coffees were brought out within 10-15 mins which wasn't too bad. I got a vanilla latte, my standard order at most coffee shops. This one was actually better than most vanilla lattes I've had! The vanilla flavor was strong without being overly sweet. My friend ordered an almond latte, it was supposed to be served iced but they brought it out hot. After fixing this mistake, she was super impressed with how good her drink was! Then the waiting began. The guy at the counter originally told us it would be about a 20-30 min wait, so I was expecting at least 30 mins. Once it got closer to 45 mins, it started to feel like a noticeably long wait and my husband went to ask how much longer it would be. We were informed that they were starting our waffles now, so not much longer. It took about a full hour before we got our food. This wouldn't have seemed like a terribly long time had it not been an order-at-the-counter place, plus they really didn't seem to be excessively busy. Luckily, the food was all really good when we did finally get served! I got the Apple Strudel which comes with baked apples, cinnamon, caramel, and whipped topping. The baked apples were soft and tasted delicious when combined with the caramel drizzle. The waffles themselves were soft and filling. I love that they came with tons of whipped cream on top too. My husband got the Fat Andrew which had peanut butter and bananas on top, he really enjoyed his as well. The waffles are very reasonably priced at $10 each despite being a pretty large serving size. If they could figure out how to be more efficient with their time management, I think this place could easily have an average of at least 4 stars because their coffees and waffle products are quite good. However, people come to a place like this for a quick breakfast, not a wait time that is more expected at a dine-in restaurant.

We ordered over 30 minutes ago, (there was no line), and we still don't have our food. I asked at the counter and they said, 'there's one order ahead of you, it will be about 10 minutes'.I can see how a Sunday at 12:30 pm might have a busy to-go business, but this is ridiculous. Hey friends, maybe get a few more waffle irons?.(Also, we sat at the counter facing the window. The counter was sticky, so we asked to borrow a wet cloth to wipe it down. Didn't make a difference. Permanently tacky). Good times.

I love this place. The waffles are absolutely delicious and it's a great spot to sit and have a coffee break.

I didn't get a waffle or a coffee, but a lemonade. It was almost dinner time. I really enjoyed my lemonade!! The vibes were half restaurant half coffee shop. To me there was nothing special about it.

Super slow service. Why does it take 45 min when I'm the only customer?Nothing special about the waffles. I make better myself
