Review from Kenneth E.

Anything in Steveston is a hidden gem if not on the main strip :( or ;) lol.
Nice little mom and pop w/ bright orange painted walls, and an open kitchen/bakery so you know it's fresh.
Nice Frenchmen and japanese wife possibly, friendly. Explained a bit of each waffle in display case. all kinds, so chose the caramel, but not to get too excited w/ caramel oozing out, but rather, added to the dough. this was yummy.
Other white chocolate, a meh, melted over on top.
there's also creme brulee too which I try next time.
nice and clean place.
Also have breakfast waffles too. -

What a perfect light dessert or mid-day snack! The consistency of the batter is well-balanced - not too heavy but enough to give you some chewy goodness. There are a variety of flavors: from chocolate covered to Matcha green tea to apple to maple. My fave is the cinnamon one ~ a light tasting waffle perfect with a mocha or hot chocolate!
Buy a box of 6 for $12 (with 2 chocolate covered waffles max)
A nice, quaint place to catch up with friends. Plus it's a cute bonus with the owners' kids just peeking over the counter as you pick your waffles =) -

Mmmm....waffles!!
Located in the heart of Steveston Village, this is in a small strip mall, with a very plain storefront. Many would drive/ walk by without even noticing it. But follow the sweet smell, and it will lead you to this hidden gem.
Inside, the owner's children roam around, but your attention will quickly turn to the perfect round fresh Liege style waffles. They are smaller, sweeter and denser than "Belgian waffles". They make their waffles in house, without eggs and preservatives. They're made with real butter, honey and a special sugar from Belgium called pearl sugar. Vanilla (original) , Cinnamon, Maple, Matcha (Grean tea). Dark , Milk or White Chocolate. The plain ones are $2.25, and the ones dipped in chocolate are $2.50.
There's a couple of small tables and seats for customers that want to eat in. Since they were closing, I decided to buy some to take home. The owner recommended that I reheat it my toaster, to get the outside a little crisp, and the inside warm and soft. I bought a matcha and a vanilla one.
At home, I made some tea, heated the waffle up, and savoured a delicious afternoon snack! -

Great waffles. Yasuyo came here and brought some home one day. She's always wanted to come and try it. I had a taste but it was cold and so we heated it up in the toaster a bit and voila! Wonderful! We also had some sweet ones, but I couldn't really eat them.
So this write up is more her than me.
Vincci L has a good review and this about sums it up.
Another little gem in the Steveston village just off the beaten path in a little strip mall. -

okay, okay, i admit i have a soft spot for family-run establishments.
an even bigger soft spot if the proprietor's kids are inquisitive/adorable and the food is unexpectedly delicious.

i had heard a rumour that the waffle batter from a certain belgian crosstown breakfast/brunch restaurant was actually from damien's so, i decided to come and see if the rumours were true.
sure enough, they are, and lucky for me, i now know that i can come to damien's to get a variety of fabulous waffles (my favourite is their caramel flavoured one) and nice french press coffee.
not sure how long they'll be running the breakfast special for but if my metabolism allowed it, i'd be here everyday - your choice of waffle, served with berry compote, whipped cream, maple syrup and french press coffee or tea - for $6.
like vincci stated, it is located in an unassuming strip mall and the interior of the store is more of a kitchen (or perhaps a factory like the name suggests?) than a cafe. if the weather is nice, there are two bistro tables set up out front.
waffle-wise, i personally prefer damien's over patisserie lebeau. even though PL has a much bigger selection of flavours, i find that their base waffle itself to be too sweet and oilier than the waffles at damien's.
