Wafels & Dinges brings you the real deal — wafels the really Belgian way

~ Brussels Wafel: Light’n crispy. This is the «Mother of all wafels» and it

first came to New York for the 1964 World Fair. Now it’s back, better than ever.

~ Liege Wafel: Soft’n chewy. This is the «other» Belgian wafel, the one the Belgians kept secret from the world. Sneaky little Belgians.

Everything baked on original Belgian cast iron wafel-​makers. Served with a Belgian accent and a big smile.

Don’t forget to ask for some «dinges» on your wafel. Dinges is Belgian slang for «toppings». There’s a lot of choice — everything is premium fresh stuff, and there’s even some awesomelike bizarre Belgian speculoos topping… don’t ask, just try.

Meet the Business Owner

Thomas D.

Business Owner

After 12 years as a management consultant for IBM, Thomas DeGeest, 38, looked ahead and saw a choice: a continuation of a cushy and predictable corporate career until retirement or… an adventure in an unknown and unpredictable direction. The native of Belgium could have continued in a solid, but less fulfilling, career or follow the American Dream. He chose the latter and decided to become, of all things, a full-​time street vendor!

Leaving a six-​figure salary to begin a start-​up business wasn’t easy. Thomas pulled money from his IRA and has put vacations with his wife on hold. He now makes a living by selling his favorite childhood treat — authentic Belgian waffles — on the streets of New York City. Thomas founded Wafels and Dinges in October 2007, and began selling freshly made waffles from a yellow 1968 Chevy food-​truck.
