Wafels & Dinges
“The only thing better than a waffle topped with speculoos ice cream, hot fudge, and strawberries is such a waffle made by Joe.”
“My boyfriend and I stopped by Wafles and Dings and got De WMD with Nutella, chocolate syrup, strawberries, and added a scoop of ice cream.”
“I'm pretty simple, not wanting it to be too filling or overly sweet, so I just got the regular belgian wafel with powdered sugar.”

Initially, my friends and I were on the hunt for a quick breakfast spot in NYC… We found this! I was a little apprehensive to order because I was craving a heavy, hot breakfast and not sweet, dessert waffles. I was proven wrong! They had a nice selection of breakfast items from breakfast sandwiches to waffles with bacon! They have a nice set up right next to Macy's and I also found a food truck of them near Astor. Overall, a really yummy waffle joint!!!
No trip to/through/around NYC is complete without a liege with dulce de leche. My last trip here was in the middle of a train layover and we literally sprinted to Herald Square, devoured a wafel, and ran back to the train. I felt like I had no other choice. And this is coming from someone who is generally pretty neutral about sweets.
On a whim, I decided to order an iced hot chocolate. I don't know why. I'm not a huge chocolate person, and I feel like "iced hot chocolates" are usually disappointing. The iced hot chocolate here, however, was out of control delicious. Deep, dark cocoa, not overly sweet, and lightly frothed. It was seriously perfect. I'm getting nostalgic just thinking about it.
TL;DR – liege with dulce de leche and an iced hot chocolate. You're welcome.
Rude AF people working here! I ordered an ice cream and they gave me the wrong flavor. When I informed them of the mistake, the lady actually tried to fight with me about it!
I also had to ask for my change back as I don't think they were planning on giving it back.
My ice cream was great – but the service was bad!
The waffle itself is good, not great. The batter used is cake-sweet on its own so be aware that it will get even sweeter with the powdered sugar and toppings.
My least favorite of the "dinges" was the dulce de leche. Was far too rich for my taste. The Nutella is self-explanatory.
The spekuloos topping is one of the better ones. It has a nice genuine spice to it that you just don't normally get outside of the imported jars.
Because the waffle is sweet on its own, I would still recommend the classic syrup.
It's a decent stop when you have the specific hankering for waffles and sugar, but the quality and price ($6 per waffle) just doesn't justify it over cheaper and better homemade waffles.
Luckily I got lost looking for a specific bagel place and stumbled upon Wafels and Dinges instead!
I didn't want the complicated-looking numbered creations, but had noooo idea how to order otherwise. The nice guy at the register explained how the toppings worked: your first is free, and you pay per topping thereafter.
I ordered Nutella and walnuts on my wafel, along with a small coffee. It was something like $9 – a splurge for sure, but pretty large in size.
Holy. delicious. warm. melty. sugary. goodness! There was also powdered sugar on the bottom. Messy, indulgent – did I mention sugary?? – start to my day! om noms!
Why don't we have Wafels and Dinges in Chicago?! This needs to be remedied!
I'd definitely return when I visit NYC again!
I really don't know what the hype about Wafels & Dinges is all about. Was all excited to try it, but it completely let me down. The speculoos spread is nothing to scream about either – I've tasted similar ones, or better. The waffle itself tasted a little dry and doesn't compare to real Belgian waffles. Didn't help that it was kinda pricey too.
I'm sorry Wafels & Dinges, but no more for me ):
Yes!!!! Finally got to try it out!!! I was super hype when the one by Bryant park opened up!!!!
I tried their famous one. I forgot the name but it has speculoos, melted chocolate and whip cream. It was soooooooooo sweet. The wafle was too fresh and hot that it quickly melted everything. It became a sugar mush. I didn't like my wafle but my bf got a plain wafle with strawberries. It was soooooooooo good just eating it plain like that. Next time I shall do the same. Wafle is made from a dough and then pressed to cook and its not like a wet waffle baffle you make at home. Definitely love their wafle!
Beware seats is impossible to find. This one is located outdoors in a park. Finding a chair is impossible.
Leave it to the enterprising Dutch to take a food that is literally €1 in Holland, cut the portion in half and charge six times as much.
Also, had a cold brew coffee from here the other day and it tasted like water. I've never had such flavorless coffee. And the cup was covered in stickiness even though I didn't get any sugar in it.
Maybe their hot coffee is better, their $5 coffee and dinge special from 8-11 is a decent enough deal for me to give it a try.
