I was inspired after watching last Friday’s episode of Pittsburgh Today Live and seeing all the custom made creations that the hosts made. I knew I had to get down there at some point and try my hand at creating a waffle.
This morning, I did just that and treated myself to brunch at Waffles, INCaffeinated. The chain has five locations in the Pittsburgh area, including the one I went to in North Huntingdon. Located just up from Sheetz and down from Walmart, the place has a nice seating arrangement and really nice decor (very Vera Bradley like). I was seated by the window watching the rain come down.
My server took really good care of me and explained the options when it came to designing my own waffle. The menu was massive in terms of what you could order. It’s not just about the waffles. You could also make your own omelet or crepes. If making your own creation isn’t your forte, there’s other things you can order. You also have a nice selection of beverages, from coffee and tea to water and soda (or pop). Looking at the menu, I even noticed the latte art in one of the pictures. This place is channeling its own inner White Rabbit in a way.
Waffles INCaffeinated has a monthly feature and this month’s was an Oreo-waffle hybrid, called “Waffle’s Favorite Cookie”. Infused with Oreo and Peanut Butter, as well as vanilla ice cream, bananas, and Oreo cheesecake spread and drizzled with chocolate, this dessert waffle will satisfy your sweet tooth.
For Lent, a North American cod sandwich on potato brioche and topped with the works (spinach, sliced tomato, melted Swiss, and spicy mayo) makes for the perfect lunch. It’s not just about the waffles.
Locations include North Huntingdon, Beaver, and four locations in the Pittsburgh area, including the South Side location which I plan to visit with my “fashionable sister” Sara at a future time. Pittsburgh locations also include Downtown Pittsburgh, Upper St. Clair, and Wexford.
Pittsburgh Today Live mugs are also being sold at all locations and I bought myself one as well. The show and the waffle challenge are what inspired me to come here and eat brunch this morning, and I will definitely be back for a sweet waffle and maybe even a craft beer (or one of their amazing custom coffee drinks)
Sorry, Sara, I didn’t see any mimosas on the menu but everything else looks good.
