Wafflian – Belgian Waffle and Cupcake Bar

I love this place! I tried both Belgian waffles, and they are awesome and delicious. Also the guy at the store seemed really nice.

Got the leige waffle. It was premade and sitting in the tray. It was heated up in the waffle maker. I expected it to be fresh. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for an almost 4 $ waffle.
There was no sugar topping. Not even powdered sugar. I don’t think I’ll go back.

I was actually disappointed when I received my dessert. I had high expectations on my waffles as I really really love waffles.
I ordered $ 7 strawberry and banana ice cream waffle. The person made it in front of us and gave the dessert to me right after she finished making it. Instead of being put in a plate, the dessert was placed on a styrofoam light weighted plate. This surprised me and gave me a sense of not so good dessert. They also provide us with non reusable knifes and forks, also napkins.
For the food, the waffle were unexpectedly thin. There was barely a thick texture. I can hardly use my non reusable knife to cut the waffle into pieces. Ice cream and the fruits were OK though. The price ($ 7) was not equivalent to the quality of the dessert. I would not come to the shop again; I would rather try out other better quality shops.
P.S The shop had no customers at 16.20 on a Thursday.
The reason why I chose to eat at this waffle shop was that I saw their shop from Mankupu modern Japanese Eatery while having lunch. Therefore I just wanted to give it a try.
Service was OK.
Food choice: lots to choose from

Loved it! Although I do see some space for improvements but its great!
I was actually at the Grange for quick lunch at Mean Bao, and saw the sign for waffles! I had to go back to work because of tight schedule, but came back for dinner.
Itwas pretty quiet when I was there. I grabbed chocolate coconut cupcake and Liege waffle with green tea ice cream.
1. Cupcake.: I was actually surprised to see so many bad reviews of the cupcakes. Mine was totally awesome.
Cake was moist with cocoa flavor and coconut icing had rich and just right amount of sweet flavor!
2. Liege waffle: waffle it self has crisp slightly sweet crust and soft chewy inner dough. I’m so used to eating really sweet Liege waffles, so I would ask them to add more sugar next time, but with my icecream, I think it was just right :)
I would love to try their frozen desserts next time!

I seriously LOVE this place. For $ 2.50 you get a giant waffle with ice-​cream. They have many flavors you can choose from, green tea, vanilla, chocolate… and the list goes on. They have also have lunch time specials you can get as well. I love coming here during my afternoon snack at work, it’s close to my work and I seriously am here every other day getting my ice-​cream waffle!
They also serve mini cupcakes too, which are heaven tasting. LOVE! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a little sweet treat for themselves.

I’m shocked to see how bad the rating here is. Either they have made adjustments or I just had a really good experience with them. I got their green tea cupcake and their Belgian waffel dipped in chocolate with a scoop of ice cream (fatty, yes i know!). I was not too pleased with the green tea cupcake, not to say it wasn’t good but it wasn’t the best. The green tea flavor was not as strong as I hoped and I am not sure if cream cheese frosting is the right frosting to be paired with that.
Now for the main item, the Belgian waffel! I thought it was fantastic! It was fluffy, thick, soft, flavorful and fresh! I could notice the difference in texture between a belgian waffel and an «american» waffel within the first two bites. I also believe they were reasonably priced. We were informed that all their ingredients were imported and all made from Belgian. Definitely a place to try out and get that sweet tooth fix!

My daughter had a bowl of bread soup at this place today. She ate nothing else during the day. A couple of hours later, and she’s suffering from a horrible food poisoning — throwing up, has a fever and feels dizzy. The server at Wafflian did not even give her the receipt! Otherwise I’d file a complaint. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

After I’ve tried Toronto’s cupcakes here, i always come out of other cupcakes shops wanting something like Wafflian’s.
The texture of the cupcakes here are the Least greasy and flaky. Incredibly moist and rich. Buttercreams are so fluffy and light, I haven’t even felt it in my mouth. The chocolate flavour is the BEST in Toronto, can’t even start to describe the richness of the coco.
I seriously endure the bone-​cracking coldness every evening to walk to the foodcourt to get the best cupcake in the world. Go Wafflian!

Hidden deep inside Village by the Grange, I never knew this place existed. Even when I ate at Manpuku several times.
Food & Presentation: My friend and I ordered a Brussels original waffle, topped with chocolate sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they also have the Brussels waffle made with chocolate but we didn’t notice until later. After ordering and paying at the register, they went straight to making it with the waffle press. The toppings were added with care and thin waffle like cookies were added on to look like wings on the vanilla ice cream scoop. The waffle was soft, tasty and gobbled up in no time.
Atmosphere & Service: You can see the sample waffles laid out and they had a display of cupcakes behind a glass covering. The interior of the small shop was really welcoming and well thought out to match a cute theme. The staff/​owners greeted us warmly. The menu is laid out high behind the counter, easy to read. There is small tables for two and one side of the shop has individual seating.
Pricing: The prices are okay, not the cheapest, not the most expensive. Items range from ~$ 3-​$ 8.
May try next time: They had this item on the menu called the Snowflake, by the look of it, it sort of reminds me of the Korean treat pat bing soo. The way they make it is they have shaved ice in a cup with condensed milk, then top off with selected toppings such as strawberry slices, red bean etc, and then a scoop of ice cream on top. It costs I think $ 5.75 or somewhere along that range, it may look cheap to make, but it looked really pretty.

The store looked so pretty and so did their cupcakes. I ordered a red velvet and a green tea cupcake. I thought that no place could possibly have a bad red velvet cupcake but my god both cupcakes were awful. I actually didn’t even finish them (tossed half of them out because it was so bad). They were dry and not very pleasing tasting. Also they weren’t even soft like normal cupcakes. Don’t waste your money going there!

Walked by and saw their big promotion poster outside and decided to give it a try. Ordered the Bread Bowl Soup, turned out to be a total disappointment. I know that I should not have expected much at $ 4.50, but this completely exceeded my expectation. I am surprised they are even selling this to the customers when it is this bad. The soup tasted like the those cheap canned ones, without even being heated; the bread was dry and tasteless. The waffles and the ice-​cream may be better, but I really don’t think I will give them a try after the soup experience.

I have been deceived! While in the Village by the Grange food court, I smelled the most delightful smell… Tempting fresh waffles. I noticed the new business by the ‘grand opening’ sign and despite being full from lunch, I had a wander in. Now, it was the scent of waffles that lured me, and the name also suggests ‘waffle place’, but the cupcakes staring back at me in the display case won my heart.
The display was nothing to be excited about… most flavors had one cupcake ‘left’ so I assumed it was because they’ve been selling out. I grabbed a strawberry banana cupcake, paid for the overpriced sweet treat, and was on my way. One bite into it, the greasy icing slid off the top and into my hand. While dealing with the mess that was spilling all over me, I was also dealing with the unpleasant taste in my mouth. Hard, dry, brick like cupcake with a flavour so artificial tasting it made my childhood memories of banana flavoured penicillin suddenly seem decadent. I can’t go back. Not even to try the amazing smelling waffles. Sorry.

Nice décor and friendly staff, but I can’t say I loved the cupcakes. I went with a friend and we went halfsies on the red velvet and vanilla on vanilla. I have a red velvet obsession and I have to say that this was probably the worst RV cupcake I’ve eaten in Toronto! Both RV and vanilla were super dense, almost doughy if you will and hard. The icing on the vanilla was way too sugary and almost seemed to be crystallized, like the icing wasn’t mixed properly.
There aren’t any other cupcake places in the neighbourhood, so I would maybe return out of sheer desperation for a cupcake fix BUT at $ 2.95 each I would probably just grab a donut or something… I would probably enjoy it more!
I would however return here to try a waffle… but I’m not in any rush to do so.

My review of this place is a relatively short one and is only based on their cupcakes.
My sister and I ordered a few cupcakes, 2 of which were mine: the red velvet and cookies & cream. When I picked them up by hand I noticed immediately how hard they felt. They were also much smaller in size in comparison to other specialty cupcake shops I have been to in Toronto.
Red velvet: the food coloring in the cake was a very vibrant red and it almost looked cartoony. The texture of the cake itself was dense and I barely tasted any cocoa flavors in the cupcake. The cream cheese icing was light and a little gritty and also not very sweet. Overall it seemed as though they put more effort trying to color it red than actually put any flavor in the cupcake.
Cookies and cream: the cake was also very dense and dry, tasting almost day old. The icing was hard and tasted like a basic vanilla icing — nothing remarkable about it.
Overall the cupcakes were very average and the taste and appearance reminded me of grocery store cupcakes. They were not very impressive at all and definitely not worth $ 2.75 a piece. I expected more in terms of flavor and size for that price.
Although my first experience with the cupcakes was disappointing I have read decent reviews on their waffles and hope that those won’t turn out to be as mediocre as their cupcakes.

I had waffle with ice cream — Ok. Nothing special. I wish they have more variety of toppings like mango, green tea shaved ice cream, anko (red bean paste) etc something that ordinary place doesn’t offer. Maybe I will bring my own topping next time lol
Cup cakes — Interesting selection of cup cakes. Flavor is good especially green tea one (I had green tea one and cookie and cream one). Problem is those cup cakes were seating there for a while so it was really hard and crunchy like brick. Cup cakes are in the glass display without proper cover so moisture is sucked in the dry air and make cup cakes very chewy.
If the cup cakes were soft and moist, then I would’ve really liked them.
This place has potential but has a lot of room to grow. I wish I can see this place year after year but for now, hardly likely

It’s a sad, sad day for the Village By the Grange food court.
Actually-that’s a lie. The only thing that is in peril following the opening of Wafflian today is my waistline. It’s a brand new Belgian waffle and cupcake bar in the surprisingly good VBTG food court. I sometimes think I’ve developed some sort of sugar spidey sense-​I actually managed to stumble upon this place on the opening day. My peripheral vision can miss doorways, people, cars etc but managed to spot the sign that promised waffles and cupcakes.
It was pretty busy for the first day and they apologised that they were still in test mode-​only cash payments today and they’d run out of some cupcakes. The people serving were friendly though and the space is bright and sparkly. They had some waffle samples out which were tasty. I decided to get my usual «test» cupcake for cupcakeries from them-​a red velvet. I’m so often disappointed by the offerings. I wasn’t today! It was light, sweet and tasty with a perfect ratio of bun to frosting. And at $ 3.33 after tax it won’t completely bankrupt you. Other varieties I spotted included chocolate peanut butter, banana peanut butter, green tea, chocolate, vanilla…
So-it’s pretty much the worst thing that could have happened in my neighbourhood. A place that serves yummy cupcakes in close proximity to me. And with the aroma of fresh waffles. I’m doomed.
