The Best Waffles In Metro Vancouver

best waffles vancouver

Vancouver is a mecca of diversity when it comes to cuisine.

Originated in Belgium, the traditional waffle has become more and more popular over the years, allowing it to flourish on the West Coast. There are two main kinds of Belgian waffles, the Liege and the Brussels.

The Liege is a rectangular sized waffle, revealing its density and sweet characteristics slowly over time. Made with dough similar to Brioche, it’s created with pearl sugar and thus when cooked on the iron, is left with giant bites of browned sugar.

The Brussels, on the other hand, is known to be lighter, crisper, and melt in your mouth like. It’s made from yeast, which is what gives it its airiness, and is typically sold as a street food delicacy.

We give you a list of the best waffle eaterys in Metro Vancouver, so you can eat your way through all of them and decide for yourself which you like better.

An adorable gem in the Langley farm country, Krause Berry Farms has been around since 1974, when owner Alf Krause planted his first berry. More of a berry and vegetable farm rather than a waffle restaurant, Krause Berry Farms also features a restaurant on-site and one of their specialities are – you guessed it – Belgian Waffles.

They offer freshly made berry waffles that can also be made gluten free. With giant portions, they’re topped with the berry of the day and a ginormous dollop of homemade whipped cream. Perfect for summertime picnics.

Located on 6179 248th Street in Langley. They’re currently open on the weekends 10AM to 4PM, and will re-open for the summer season in May.
