The Waffle Iron: Best waffles I’ve ever had

Waffles. They’re just a simple breakfast food, right? That’s what I thought before I took a step into The Waffle Iron in Logan, and I have never been more wrong. I noticed I had enough points on my Pocket Points app (an amazing app that rewards you with coupons for not using your phone in class). I had 30 points, which was enough for a buy-one-get-one-free waffle, so I gave it a shot. I have never been happier with a decision to go to a restaurant in my entire life.

The minute you walk into the building, you are surrounded by the sweet smell of their Liege waffles, a type of Belgian waffle that is thicker and denser than the standard Belgian waffle. As soon as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a friendly staff that asked if I had any questions about the menu.

I was intrigued by the environment; it was a stark mix of rustic and modern. The floor is this distressed hardwood that looks like it has been there for 80 years, and the walls are a modern black and white with old bricks showing through by the entrance. There are stunning art pieces hanging on the wall that were painted by an artist from Logan. Already, I knew this place was somewhere I would come again, just to experience the environment one more time.

Looking at the menu, I was excited. There were so many options and I wanted to try every waffle. I looked at the menu, debating which ones I wanted to try, and finally decided I would try one sweet waffle and one savory. I ordered a ham, egg and cheese waffle and a chocolate truffle waffle. I hardly had to wait three minutes. I went to pick up my waffles, and I looked at them, stunned; they were beautiful.

I sat back down and looked at the waffles. They were almost too perfect to eat, but I finally stopped staring at their beauty and took my first bite. I chose to eat the savory one first because I wanted to save the best for last. As I took my first bite, I had experienced something I had never had before. I was speechless. I couldn’t find the words to describe the pure deliciousness of the waffle I had just tasted.

As I continued to eat the waffle, each bite tasted better and better. From the blend of waffle and egg to the ham and cheese, there was no overpowering flavor. It was perfect and I didn’t want it to end, but alas, it did. I was so sad it was over, but then I remembered I had a second waffle, one that I was even more excited for. I took my first bite and was surprised to find out the waffle was stuffed with chocolate on the inside. The way the strawberries and cream worked with the chocolate and waffle was amazing.

I loved my experience at The Waffle Iron, and I would recommend it to anyone.
