Belgian waffles are finally back at Mr. Crepe. $2.75 each. Yum.

Yay for waffles!

[wallacestreet.livejournal.com]

Woo Hoo. Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if they have them all the time or just occasionally?

[ron_newman]

They should have waffles for a few months until they decide that winter is over. I can't remember when they stopped selling them last year -- probably some time in April.

Weird, I don't think of waffles as a seasonally associated food. Any time's the right time.

[ron_newman]

Somehow it's connected to the Waffle Haus locations that the same owner runs on various ski slopes.

I wish I had a waffle NOW. My Cafe Horrible sandwich was vile.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you keep going there! :)

When the weather is really awful at work and I don't want to venture into Kendall, my choice is that or the candy machine (or bring my lunch, if I had any foresight).

For those wondering what Cafe Horrible is, it's Cafe on Main near Kendall. WORST! FOOD! EVAR!!!!!

[ron_newman]

isn't au bon pain just across the street? And some other place around the corner on Third St., begins with Z?

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Au Bon is a few blocks away, and I do go there if its not utterly miserable out. But today I just couldn't bear the weather, and instead bore the epically awful offerings of Cafe Horrible. I should have braved the weather.

Oh, and Zigo is slightly closer, but I melt if I get rained on. :-)

traditionally liege waffles are sold outside on the street in winter. hence, it's a seasonal food.

Seasonal waffles??? What fresh hell is THIS?!

[richips.livejournal.com]

perhaps there should be a Davis waffle meetup.

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

This means I'll go there more often, since I'm not a fan of their crepes. But if they have waffles, I'm there.

[mrpet.livejournal.com]

I have been going in there every week and yelling WAFFLES, I'm glad that they finally heard my cries!

[ron_newman]

Me too, and the staff told me many others have been asking as well.

[voodoocheese.livejournal.com]

I'm one of the others- I'm glad I wasn't the only one hassling them.

Are these the amazing stroopwaffels they had last year?

[ron_newman]

I don't know that word, but yes, same as last year.

[wallacestreet.livejournal.com]

They are not stroopwafels (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=stroopwafel&btnG=Search+Images), which are mighty tasty, but gaufres de Liège (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=gaufres+de+Liège&btnG=Search+Images) which are even better.

[annalauwa.livejournal.com]

well, they're pretty much two different things, when you think about it :)

nevertheless, i am in love with both.

[dani-namaste.livejournal.com]

this is excellent news. And I'll be down there on Friday morning!

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

Do they have at least 5 signs up telling you what to do with the waffles once you get one? Otherwise, I might get confused.

[winterhill.livejournal.com]

win!

[ron_newman]

They actually would benefit from having a sign out front advertising the waffles.

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

I love the signs in Mr. Crepe. I hate having to figure out where to pour my extra coffee, or which bin to put my plate in. I find the signs comforting, like Mr. Crepe is watching out for me personally.

This says far too much about my crazy WASPy childhood, I guess.
