Cuisine: Belgian

Imagine the torture of going past a waffle place every day on your commute, knowing there was nothing you could have. Then imagine the delight of spotting them using #vegan online! Yes, it turns out that Wafflin is extremely vegan friendly.

It operates as a build-your-own-waffle spot, and also serves a set brunch. The build-your-own waffle option is incredibly exciting, largely because I love placing my order by ticking a list! Everything is in both Czech and English, and the vegan options are clearly marked (don’t forget to tick for vegan waffle at the top as well). There are so many vegan options – fruit, speculoos biscuits and spread, Oreos, chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup…you can really go to town. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have any vegan whipped cream, but instead they offer Alpro vanilla pudding, which is a very pleasant alternative.

Basically, you can go big on these waffles. And if you fancy something savoury, well, look no further than the brunch menu.

Yes, there’s a vegan set brunch menu as well! I’m not crazy about having sweet and savoury things on the same plate, but I handled it well. We shared this between two of us, but you can get an extra waffle if you think you’ll need it. The savoury toppings were sun-dried tomatoes, salad, baked beans, olives, hummus, cheese, and ham – all solid options. And the sweet things were jam, strawberries, fruit, and speculoos spread. It was quite exciting, but I think I’d probably go for a crazy, indulgent, sweet waffle again next time. Which hopefully will be soon!

Sweet or savoury, what’s your favourite waffle topping?
