Portland Waffle Window

When we heard my sisters family rave about the “Waffle Window” we knew we’d have to give it a try.  And we were surprised to see that it actually is, simply, a window– and there is an outdoor seating area under a awning.

Choosing what to order off the menu was a bit difficult–there were so many interesting-looking treats.  And we were happy to see that there were both savory and sweet waffles.  Jeremy declared that’s what made the place a legitimate restaurant, not just a novelty thing.

The first waffle we got was called “The 3 B’s”.  It had brie, bacon and basil on it served with a side of peach jam.

I can’t even describe how delicious this waffle was.  It was my favorite of the day.  The saltiness, along with the deep herb flavor, topped with just a hint of sweet jam–delicious!

We’re seriously considering making waffles like this at home.

We also got a sweet waffle called the “Banana Rumba”.  It had bananas, granola and a banana caramel sauce topped with whipped cream.  It was very good as well, though it was not very sweet.  That would be perfect for eating as a meal because you don’t want to get sugared out, but we got this one as “dessert” so I felt like I wanted a bit more of the banana caramel sauce on top!

The real treat was these chocolate-dipped waffles.  These were what we ordered for the boys.  They are dipped in chocolate on one side and then frozen and wrapped in paper.  They call these (and their plain pearl-sugar option) “walking waffles”  because they are portable and ready to eat on the go.

After living in our town for 6 years we’ve worn out our local restaurant options, it was a lot of fun to try some new places on vacation.  If When we  move to the Pacific Northwest, we will be visiting the waffle window again!
