- foodMy family and the employee's have been in touch for almost the whole time I've been alive, and I've never been more sincere in recommending this place. Food can be as simple or complex as you want and never fails to hit every mark of satisfaction. Coming in feels more like visiting an old friend rather than stopping by a restaurant.
- wafflesThis is a family-owned and operated establishment, and the staff are incredibly friendly. The waffles were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a wide variety of toppings available. The scrambled eggs were amazing, and the coffee even exceeded my expectations!
- waffleBoth the waffle and the scrambled eggs were incredibly light and fluffy. The waffle had the perfect balance of sweet and crispy, which complemented the savory eggs and ham beautifully. It was purely delicious!
- FoodFood came out quickly and was good.
- breakfast sandwichThe breakfast sandwich is delicious and satisfying.
- coffeeGet a boba or smoothie or just coffee.
- eggsMy first experience at this restaurant was positive, thanks to the good food and a great recommendation from a gentleman. He suggested the Breakfast included waffle and eggs with bacon/sausage. I would recommend telling them to melt the butter as it doesn't really melt on the waffle.
- smoothiesMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the great waffles and yummy smoothies. The servers were super friendly.
- baconFrom the moment we walked in, we were greeted with great customer service. I ordered the breakfast special, which included a Belgian waffle, two pieces of bacon, and two eggs. The food was quick and delicious.

Frequently criticized
- baconBacon, like everywhere else, is expensive at $1 per very slim slice.
- coffee00, I expected much better. The coffee was lukewarm and served in a styrofoam cup, and the overall impression was that of a low-quality, budget establishment like "Smart and Final, " with hash browns, plastic spoons, plain forks, styrofoam cups, sausages, and paper-tasting bacon. I considered giving honest feedback to the owner/manager but opted not to.
- foodthe food was served in a paper plates
- hash brownsHash browns, plastic spoons, plain forks, styrofoam cups, sausages, and paper tasting bacon.
- paper platesThe breakfast was terrible, with the waffle being under cooked. To make matters worse, everything was served on paper plates. I do not recommend this place!

- breakfastThe breakfast was terrible
- butterButter goes with waffles idk what you are serving you cook with Crisco not serve it on your food
- chocolate chip waffleMy kid didn’t get his chocolate chip waffle because when we opened it was a chunk of butter on it melted
If youre craving delicious waffles and hearty breakfast options, this place is definitely worth a visit. While a few items might need a bit more seasoning or a closer eye during cooking, the overall quality and customer satisfaction suggest youll likely enjoy your meal.

- staffI'd equate the style of service as a combo of fast food and restaurant: you order at a register, find a place to sit, and they bring everything to you. Everyone we engaged with was so nice; this definitely seems like a family place. We got there around 11 am on a Sunday and there were plenty of tables, but it quickly filled up after we arrived.
- serviceMy wife and I had been noticing this storefront restaurant for a while and finally decided to try it. We were incredibly impressed with how good the food was and how great the service was. To say we were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement.
- customer serviceBest thing the customer service was great!

Gem of Centennial Hills!
Waffles Cafe in Centennial Hills is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. It was clear this is a true neighborhood spot, as multiple customers came in and were greeted by name, which says a lot about the atmosphere and the people who work here.
We ordered a peach iced tea that was perfectly refreshing and not overly sweet, along with a taro boba milk tea that was clearly brewed fresh with rich taro flavor and wonderfully chewy boba. For food, we tried the mixed fruit waffle and the egg and cheese hash brown waffle, and both were outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well made.
The staff mentioned they pride themselves on making their waffle batter fresh daily using quality ingredients, and it absolutely shows in the taste. You can tell there is real care put into both the food and the customer experience. If you are in the Centennial Hills area and want great waffles, excellent drinks, and genuinely friendly service, Waffles Cafe is 100 percent worth a visit.
We will definitely be back.

Delicious Brunch Find!
After a visit to Gilcrease Orchards, we looked up breakfast/brunch places and headed to Waffles Cafe with no knowledge about it. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. I also had a smoothie with watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe.
Yum! My dining mate enjoyed her mango iced tea. We live in Henderson, and we need a Waffles Cafe in our neck of the woods.
Pleeeease!
