  1. Waffles for breakfast?  Check.  Belgian wafels? Double check. Had the breakfast special which was $5 for a wafel and coffee. Not expecting much I bit into a hot crispy waffle  that was sweet and tender. It almost taste it like there were nuggets of carmelized sugar in it . Next time I would order one with ice cream for dessert… Or maybe for breakfast.

  2. Wafels & Dinges is one of the first food trucks to popularize in NYC. They specialize in sweet Belgian wafles, but their menu has now expanded to include ice cream wafel cone and savory wafels, which I have yet to try.

    I typically get the Liege wafel (vs. Brussels wafel). It's rounder, sofer, and chewier with pearl sugars embedded throughout for that additional kick of sweetness. "Dinges" are their term for toppings, and it ranges from something sweet like spekuloos crumble and maple syrup to healthier toppings like walnuts, bananas, and strawberries.

    You should follow them on Twitter, because they sometimes have a "trivia" for free dinges!

  3. This is a really great food truck.

    The wafels themselves are amazing.  Great taste, texture, everything.  By itself it would be a very high quality snack.  Sweet and a tiny bit crunchy but with the perfect consistency/doughiness on the inside.  The topping are applied very liberally.

    This is a strong 4 star review, call it a 4.5.  This place is great and jussssst shy of a 5-star experience.  Definitely would recommend.

  4. Great place to stop by when you're craving something carb-y and sweet. They have a mini waffle version if you're not very hungry also. You get two toppings I believe with your waffle! The service has always been super fast whenever I've gone also.

  5. Delicious little treat.  Love the texture of the waffle – slightly crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside.  I can't believe this is my first time trying this place after seeing it all over NYC for so many years.  Very tasty stuff.

  6. Quality, authentic, hot and fresh Belgian waffle with all the fixings and topped with fresh whipped cream. This is one of my favorite treats and luckily these food carts are very accessible throughout the city! About $6-7 and definitely worth the splurge. Big enough to share… Or not haha!

  7. Waffles are about my favorite thing in life, and these really hit the spot! I've always wanted to go to Belgium for the waffles, and this is exactly what I imagine it being like. I got the thicker waffle (can't remember the name) topped with strawberries, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. Truly phenomenal!

  8. Absolute favorite food cart chain.

    I've been a fan since foreeeever (forever being since 2009, before they won the Vendy Awards) and truly watched them grow into the multiple vehicles they have now amassed and even running their own tours in Gowanus (highly recommend any fan to do that! It's like $5/$10 and you can make your own wafel!).

    I love the WMD – my recommendation is just to get the Liege waffle with any toppings your heart desires (and the speculoos, please get the speculoos). I prefer the Liege over the Brussels, as it is softer. The Brussels is denser and harder to sink my teeth into. If you want a waffle + ice cream creation, get the speculoos ice cream. (SPECULOOS EVERYTHING, ESSENTIALLY.)

    The staff are the cutest, always smiling while making my heavenly creation.

    Tip: Look online as to how to get a free dinges! Usually it's a silly/random question/challenge. 🙂
