I have known Tara for years so I knew this place would be amazing but wow she out did herself! Getting to press your own coffee at your table is an awesome touch. The waffles no matter what flavor are amazing! Everytime you go in you get an amazing welcome from her and the staff. If you haven't stopped in to try one of their amazing waffles you are missing out!

What a wonderful treat! A must stop. We were greeted warmly as we walked in. Small wait to order. We had the Oreo Utopia and it was delicious and served warm with ice cream on top. We LOVE that they use Kirke's Homemade Ice cream. The waffle was cooked perfectly and covered with alllll the yummy toppings. We would definitely come back.

Glad to have this dessert bar in Wheeling. French press coffee is great. I don't know where they get their ice cream from but it's fantastic! Had the chocolate waffle, it was delicious

We got the Traditional Vanilla & Gingerbread Cookie. They were both delicious!! It’s a shame all the construction going on downtown but well worth finding the place!!

Not just for breakfast! You have to try these dessert waffles. Think fancy ice cream but enjoyable even when the weather is cold. The sugar crystals in the waffle give them such a satisfying texture. We had the pumpkin special with spiced graham cracker and pumpkin ice cream. I can't wait to come back and try more of their flavors. The street in front of the building is under construction at the moment but it's easy to park nearby and walk.

First of all I got the vanilla Belgian waffle and it tasted so good. The two ladies there were so kind and played cool music. The place was beautifully painted with boho colors and it felt very calm. Overall I’d definitely go there again.

When I moved to Wheeling , one of the first things I did, was go on the hunt for waffles … They’re my absolute fav breakfast item ! I learned that there were no waffles to be found !! But yesterday, The Belgian Waffle Shop, inc. opened & I had to check it out today ! Wasn’t sure how I would feel about it because : 1. I like breakfast waffles with butter & syrup. 2. I’m not a huge fan of ice cream on warm desserts. But I have to say , this was THE BEST waffle I’ve ever had ! I give it a 10 & 2 thumbs up ! Served very hot , very quickly , the staff was so friendly & the toffee crunch flavor was on point ! Loved the French press coffee! I’ll definitely be back soon!
