    Admittedly, I've never had real Belgian waffles before but this place blew me away.  We tried a Liege Waffle (carmelized on one side) and a chocolate dipped Brussels waffle (a little heavier).  I preferred the Liege.  Both were pretty dense (these are not Eggo frozen waffles).  I took another one with me to go for our flight back.  Delicious.

    If you have ever walked North on Yonge from Dundas you must have definitiely come across Wanda's and incase you have not followed your nose to her doorsteps you must have definitely been hit in the face by the sweet wafting aroma that is a freshly made waffle.

    It's a tiny narrow shop with a few tables and seating in the back with a flat screen tv. This establishment is not really meant for dining in however they do lend the option. Everything is served in clear plastic takeout containers with plastic cutlery ready to eat on the go. The simple menu offers waffles, crepes, ice cream, toasted sandwiches, and hot/cold beverages.

    I was here strictly for the waffle. A smiling face greeted me at the enterance and asked how can I help you. I think she assumed were taking our waffle to go. We acknowledged we were here to stay so she proceeded to the back counter to assist us. She cheerfully went over the menu options including the various ice cream flavours and toppings offered.

    I decided on the:

    Wanda's Original Vanilla Waffle w/ icing sugar topped with Chocolate sauce and Chocolate Ice Cream.  =$5.98 including tax.

    We took our seats and she told us she'd bring it over when it was ready.

    The waffle arrived hot and crispy, dusted with icing sugar, drizzled in the hot belgian chocolate sauce topped mounds of creamy chocolate ice cream and drapped with more chocolate sauce. There is something so devine about cold creamy ice cream paired with a sweet hot crispy waffle. It's like a heaven on earth experience especially when you drizzle it with belgian chocolate sauce that is melting on the hot waffle but hardening on the cold ice cream. The contrast of textures and temperatures is something everyone needs to, no Must Try!!

    What they lack in decor here they definitely make up for in taste and quality! Delicious crispy hot waffles, that smell doesn't lie, it is truly worth following your nose for!

    Extra information:

    *Specialize in Waffles and Crepes
    *Can get it to go or Dine in

    Wanda's Waffles is everywhere, if for some reason you can't see it? you will def smell it. I was excited to see these everywhere when I first arrived in Toronto because I am a sucker for fresh waffles with icecream.

    After lunch at Salad King, I decided to head to Wanda's for some dessert since I was already in the area. When I first walked in, I found the store to be very cluttered with things going on everywhere.

    There weren't much interior going on, plus I could see flies everywhere (figures when they serve so much sweet stuff and the smell doesn't help either). The cashier was very friendly and she patiently waited as my sister and I were trying to figure out the menu deciding on what to order. They make waffles and crepes the moment you order them so it will take some time but at least you know they are fresh.

    Ordered: ICE CREAM CREPE 2.5/5
    *Crepe with chocolate inside and served with Vanilla icecream for $6.49
    *Crepe was a little too doughey but it was ok with the icecream
    *Good crepe should be light and chewy, this was too heavy and felt like thin pancakes
    *Nothing special

    Ordered: ORIGINAL WAFFLES W/ STRAWBERRIES
    *Waffles with icecream for $6.49
    *Waffle was again, very doughy, rich and heavy
    *Texture of the waffle was almost like pound cake with lots of butter and cream
    *Served with caramel, lots and lots of whipped cream and strawberries
    *So many good things going on, waffles, whipped cream, chocolate and ice cream...but it just isn't good.
    *Felt like i was eating a giant sweet dough with whipped cream and vanilla icecream

    To be honest, I was actually warned by fellow food bloggers about this place how their waffles are a little too rich and heavy. I took note of it, but still wanted to try it anyways. Well, they were right, basically, afterwards I felt sick as if I drank a bottle of liquid syrup and a ball of dough....and that's not a good thing :(

    Summary: Despite the sweet scent that drew me to this place, I was disappointed with the quality of waffles/crepes served and I won't be going back.

    My boyfriend and I shared a regular waffle, which came with mounds of whipped cream and a mountain of strawberry along with some chocolate sauce, and a crepe with vanilla ice cream and mixed fruits.

    Although the coffee was not as strong as my boyfriend's liking, I thought both crepe and waffle were delicious. The crepe was perfectly prepared: pale in colour, not too thick, not too thin, and slightly chewy.

    You may find cheaper crepes or waffles, but for the amount of whipped cream/fruits you get along with a waffle/crepe, I am OK with paying a little bit more.

    I've walked past this little shop many times when I'm downtown but have never gotten a chance to try it out. Today was the day that I decided to try out some waffles at Wanda's.

    The place is very small and there are about 3-4 tables for guests to sit at. However, me and my friend dropped by when it was empty so we didn't have any issues with seating. I think it's pretty cute how they have an open window at the front of the store so people can just order right from the sidewalk.

    I ordered their original waffle with ice cream and it came out to $5.74. Btw, they will charge you if you pay by credit card. I think it's a bit pricey but the deliciousness made up for the cost. My friend got the same thing but she added strawberries to hers and it was ~$10.

    The waffle tasted yummy, cakey, and sweet. I've only had waffles at Demetre's before and it never had any flavour compared to Wanda's.

    I would definitely drop by here again when I'm in the area but not all the time because I don't want to get fat lol. Now I am going to look for a waffle maker so I can indulge in the comfort of my own home =).

    Expensive but oh so delicious!!!

    Two types of waffles are available, with or without sugar. And then you can load on the toppings. I had ice cream and caramel sauce, my friend had strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate fudge. Just the sound of that makes my mouth water. The place is pretty small, so don't expect to get a seat during busy hours. Service is a little slow, and they will charge you extra for using your credit card.

    Love the way it is hot toasty, smells like heaven and has bite. The original is good but the ice cream and caramel sauce doesn't hurt.

    I wish they upped a notch on their decor and served it on plates rather then plastic containers and cutlery.

    Wanda's Belgian Waffles - every time you walk by and smell the aroma of butter, eggs and vanilla - you just want to go in there and experience one. Today I finally did!

    I had purchased a TeamBuy ticket not long ago when Wanda's was doing a $7 for a panini, chocolate dipped waffle and beverage.  The server/cashier was so sweet!  She was very helpful and had a great sense of humour.  The level of customer service here is definitely 5 stars.  

    We ordered a roast chicken panini.  I didn't try it as I had overindulged this morning at the Hoof Café, and was still trying to digest that.  From the looks of it though, it looked pretty tasty.  The waffles themselves are a bit disappointing.  It smells wonderful - but is virtually tasteless.  It was really dry, and a bit on the salty side.  The chocolate was not silky smooth and kind of left a filmy texture in my mouth.  I could also taste a bit of the baking powder/soda.  I guess its one of those things that smells better than it tastes!

    We had placed the order all together and by the time we got around to the waffle, it was already cold.  The server/cashier was such a sweetheart.  She apologized not knowing that we were eating it as dessert, and made us a fresh one!  Again, I loved the amount of attention, care and sincerity that was displayed at Wanda's... Now if only they could find the recipe for the perfect Belgian Waffle!

    This place really is fantastic! They get me every time I want by even after I ate....

    It is expensive though and if you like the ice cream fruit and all that jazz...it's around $12?  I think...

    Good but expensive!

    Smells great when you walk by, but that's just about it.
    If you like the waffles from Wanda's then you've never had a real Belgian waffle and you're missing out!
    Not only was the waffle flavorless, dry, it probably came from a mix.
    Service is slow and inefficient, having worked in the restaurant industry it kills me to watch people work slowly like that. And who doesn't use biodegradable containers these days? It just goes to show how much this owner cares. Way too overpriced. I will not return.

    Apparently this place opened 8 months ago. WHERE HAVE I BEEN? I have never noticed Wanda's until the other day when I was running - ducking a rainstorm. In the middle of my concentrated running, I was interrupted mid-step by the most alluring aroma, the scent of freshly-baked-something. I needed to get whatever it was in my mouth PRONTO!

    Back tracking our steps, Marie B. and I finally discovered what our taste buds were craving all along. FRESHLY BAKED BELGIAN WAFFLES! (IT'S ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME!)

    Even though I was mad full from my Salad King dinner and yes, this place is as big as a walk-in closet, there was no way I wasn't going to try some kind of waffle - no matter how small it needed to be. I ordered the chocolate dipped waffle and saved it for home time.

    I regret not bringing more home. The chocolate was a tad sweet, but good quality chocolate was indeed used. However, the next time I attend a potluck, I'm bringing a bunch of Wanda's naked Belgian Waffles to the party. Everyone is gonna think I'm a savior!

    It was my first night in Toronto, and I was on the prowl for some dessert. Near the cacauphonus intersection of Yonge and Dundas (there was a huge stage set up with a Celtic-Indian fusion band), I stumbled upon a waffle shop. Being an American, waffle shops have only existed in my dreams. I've heard tell of them before, but I have never felt the thrill of a warm, Belgian waffle with powdered sugar in a little wax paper holder. It is a small storefront, with cramped standing room for 2 or 3 people inside the door.

    It must be a new restaurant, because many people stopped to gawk at the menu, but few seemed up to the task of ordering. Flavored waffles? What? Toppings? Huh? Trust me, order anything, it doesn't matter. During my short stay in Toronto, I tried plain, strawberry, and maple waffles and every kind of topping. Caramel, chocolate sauce, ice cream... This stuff is healthy, right? I figure waffles are breakfast, and breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so a second breakfast is like twice as healthy.  The warm waffle, the soft ice cream. Incredible.

    There were a lot of people outside the storefront deciding whether to order or not, and if I hadn't been stuck inside waiting for mine, I probably would've been shilling for Wanda's on the sidewalk. "No, you have to try it! Just order one! It's so good!"

    The delicious aroma of Wanda's lures you in.  I don't know what Wanda's official hours are, but we happened to be passing by one late night and there were 2 lonely waffles left - the perfect late-night snack!  We even got a deal because they were the last ones!

    I love the portion size, the perfect crispiness and the variety of toppings they offer.  I chose the simple powdered sugar so that I could easily walk with my waffle.  If you're looking for a quick, affordable, portable, delicious dessert, Wanda's offers just that.

    The only thing that tops a big thick made-to-order Belgian waffle is having a gigantic scoop of ice cream on top of one. I guess a dip into some gooey caramel doesn't hurt either - unless you've got an unfilled cavity, that is.

    Besides coffee, the cold beverage selection is surprisingly dizzying. Of just aloe drinks, there are original, blueberry, strawberry, and mango to choose from. I found this to be a bit of a culture flavour clash, but I
    had to try the blueberry, which was actually quite good.

    It would've been nice to sit outside on this beautiful warm night, but there are only three street facing stools and they had already been taken. Although too bright on the border of feeling sterile, the inside is air conditioned and filled with the heavenly smell of waffle batter.

    I stopped in to Wanda's looking for a sandwich, oddly enough. I left with my sandwich and a maple waffle with a side of banana. No regrets!

    As Connie mentioned, the maple waffle is a special treat with maple chips worked into the batter right before it's made to order for you. Maybe the best waffle I've had, especially with the side of banana. The variety of choices this place offers is pretty fantastic, and I look forward to patronizing it again to check out what else is waiting for me.

    As far as my sandwich went, it was underwhelming. I'm pretty sure I received poached chicken where it advertised roasted, and there was just a random mish-mash of vegetables tossed into my panini (seemed more like a salad sandwich than anything). It was definitely tasty, but nothing at all exceptional. Go for the waffles and you won't be disappointed.
    Frankly I was impressed that the off-season strawberries I saw getting piled onto other people's plates looked so good!

    I remember my first impression of this place

    it looked good, as I ordered my chocolate waffle with ice cream I looked over at the counter, I noticed something odd.

    a montecristo cigarillo box

    I opened it and to my surprise found 4 tiny delicious Cuban cigars, I quickly shoved the box in my pocket, paid for my waffle and left.

    The cigars were delicious, and the waffle was equal. Knowing the good fortune this place has brought me I will be back again for sure, delicious warm chocolaty waffles with ice cream for $5 (big ass waffles too) what more could I ask for?

    I frequent the Yonge & Dundas area quite a bit and whenever I'm there I get this massive woft of waffle goodness up my nose. So with a few friends I decided to follow the sugary scent to 331 Yonge Street. Wanda's storefront is a tiny space which could house maybe 3 patrons standing, truly designed for high turnover.  

    The waffles are very rich and hold a great texture. You can order your waffle plain, with powdered sugar, with maple or chocolate sauce, with ice cream, with fruits, or all of the above. I decided to just about do all of the above.
    I ordered a waffle with maple sauce, ice cream and strawberries. Aside from strawberries they have blackberries, raspberries, bananas and probably a couple other fruit toppings. I must say the waffle definitely hit the spot, it was made ready to order and the ice scream scoop and amount of strawberries was more that I thought I'd get, but then again it did cost about $8 everything in.

    I've had waffles in Belgium and I must say that this experience did not quite match up to my experiences over in Brussels, but at the same time it was not all that bad either. My mates and I rather enjoyed this rich treat whilst swing dancing at a Luminato special at Dundas Square. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to satisfy a raging sweet tooth, or anyone who is dying to know where that intoxicatingly sweet waffle smell is coming from.

    Goed Eten in Kensington is my next waffle stop, apparently they pwn waffles.

    This cramped stand popped up recently, just north of HMV, appeasing my waffle-obsessive needs. In fact, if there's another reason we need the Y-D scramble, it's to get me to my waffle... FAST.

    The doughy desserts are freshly pressed into the waffle iron as you order, which is great, feels really street-foody and, therefore, more tasty. The maple version (with huge maple chunks in the batter) is my absolute fave, hands down, period, shhh.

    I recommend the naked versions, which range from $2-3. The deluxe cream/whipped cream/chocolate sauce/bananas/super treatment each adds anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 per topping. Sure makes the small dessert tray you get a bit of a financial investment, especially when you're forced to haul and eat it down the block at Yonge-Dundas Square.

    They're best enjoyed plain anyway.

    Just finished an all-you-can-eat dinner at the Korean Grill House down the street when I stopped by Wanda's Belgian Waffles. Had passed by it on the way to dinner and promised myself I would come back afterward. The shop is aromatic and unavoidable. Ordered a regular maple waffle as well as a regular waffle topped with caramel and vanilla ice-cream. Delicious!

    The place sells sandwiches too, but waffles are what it's known for. The shop is small and cozy. There's no place to sit, and even the standing room is very cramped. There's usually a small line leading into the shop. Waffles are made fresh. An impatient man asks you what you want, and then throws the mix onto a waffle grill.

    Worth the wait. Worth the impatient man's attitude. Worth the $3 waffle and $2 toppings. Well worth the obese look in the mirror!

    The delicious aroma was deceiving. Or maybe it's because I opted for the plain waffle.

    After almost burning myself with it out of my own negligence (it comes out steaming from the waffle iron), I escorted my waffle down to Yonge-Dundas Square and found a seat to enjoy it.

    I was disappointed to find it was heavy and doughy and had only tiny wisps of icing sugar on top. Certainly not the light treat I was expecting.

    I will gladly return to my obsession with cupcakes instead.

    $2.61 for a plain waffle, including taxes.

    To put it simply: come for the waffles! Just the waffles.

    The waffles are good, fresh, hot waffles on a cold day are especially favorable. It has a nice crisp and I like that it's thicker cause regular waffles to me is like just one bite and it's like you're biting into nothing. Another big plus: the price, the waffles there are pretty cheap considering the price of waffles these days.

    But don't get any of the toppings. I had a strawberry thing and it was literally, just waffles and fresh strawberries with some whip cream and chocolate syrup. That is worth extra three dollars? I don't think so. And with no seating it makes the whole thing a bit hard to eat while walking down the street.

    I won't say I'll specifically seek the waffles out but if I'm around the area I will definitely walk a block or two to get it.

    On the prowl for dessert we headed for this little dessert cafe.

    I ordered a waffle with half icing sugar and half chocolate along with a coffee.

    At least the coffee was good.
    And so was the chocolate.
    As for the waffle... it was still...waffle-esque.
    It was still..the shape of a waffle...
    Smelled like a waffle...
    Crispy on the outside...
    Hot...
    ...But different that what I would expect of a waffle... it was very dense...heavy...
    The complete opposite of light and fluffy.
    And I don't like the plastic takeout container it comes in.

    Anyways, if you want delicious smelling hot dough in a clear plastic box, this is the place!

    Wanda's has a friendly staff and great food. I went there every morning on my last trip to Toronto. The waffles taste great and are made fresh. My friend got a panini and it was just as good as the waffles.  Once they began to recognize me, they started hooking me up with little extras.

    After walking around Yonge street in the cold at night, belgian waffles were great to eat. Around 10 CAN you can get a belgian waffle with fruit and chocolate. When you sink your teeth into that waffle, its heavenly.The warmth, taste, and different textures make walking around not so bad.

    But, being from the U.S. I didn't realize how expensive it was. I spent $30 USD for 3 of them.

    A Wanda's waffle makes for a tasty treat.  There are now at least two locations (at Yonge and Wellesley and at Yonge and Gerrard).  The Yonge and Gerrard location (361 Yonge Street) has a small seating area.  The smell is amazing - you know you are about to see a Wanda's location by the smell that you encounter way before you get there.

    I like the street-food atmosphere - the storefront is basically right out on the sidewalk - you order through the window, pay, and your waffle gets passed back out to you when it's ready.  I ate my waffle standing on Yonge Street while I people-watched.

    I had a chocolate dip waffle, which was $3.99 plus tax.  It is not really chocolate "dipped" - they actually pour chocolate sauce over the hot waffle before they give it to you.  At first I worried they might be using Hershey's syrup, but the chocolate turned out to be better than that.  The waffle was very hot, dense (as it should be), and crunchy on the outside.

    Wanda's also serves waffles with ice cream or with fruit (or both), but next time I will forgo that and try one of the maple waffles that some previous reviewers have mentioned.

    I couldn't resist the scent of vanilla waffles when i walked down Yonge street.... when I stepped in... I had to order one of those... and It was reasonably good (cant be compared to the waffles they have at the Rich Tree downtown)... they also serve Illy coffee which is wonderful. The service was good and friendly...  

    you can give it a try if you are in the neighborhood

    The crepe seemed to have been average compared to other places we've been even though we had heard alot about this place being good. I guess maybe they are better at waffle's as it seems to be in their name. Crepe was average....Quick and good service though.

    Delicious!

    Okay, I'm a bit of a waffle-holic after spending the summer in Scandinavia. In Reykjavik there's an amazing little waffle wagon that serves delicious waffles into the wee hours of the morning for the partying crowds. This is the closest thing I've found to that in North America.

    This place offers lots of different options for your waffles. My first time I went with the cinnamon waffle and cream topping. The second time I had a plain waffle with ice cream and maple syrup. I probably took a few minutes off the end of my life, but oh, was it worth it. They were very good! I especially liked the cinnamon one.

    The prices vary quite a bit depending on what options you get. Some of them are probably overpriced, so just be sensible and look at the prices before you order!

    I was a little disappointed by the size of the waffle. I was expecting a full rectangle, but they just put a dollop of batter on so you don't get a full waffle. Still, in the end it was actually a pretty good portion and more might have been a bit too much.

    My only other real complaint is from an environmental standpoint. They put the waffles in kind of ridiculous plastic clamshells, and then one can walk over to Eaton Centre and see a garbage can full of these things. I think a very minimal paper tray would have been sufficient. Maybe they could offer both options.

    Anyway, bottom line: Delicious waffles! Be sensible and don't order something that's going to cost an arm and a leg.

    I have always depended on the kindness of strangers when it comes choosing what to eat and it really upsets me when my own faith in humanity comes back to bite me in the ass.  I went to Wanda's Belgian Waffles with all the hope in the world, I took a brief look at the menu and asked the proprietor what he would recommend.  He paused then recommended the most expensive thing on the menu. I expected to spend about $3-5 and I was hit with an $8.50 bill and food that was not worth the price.  For my small ransom I got a small waffle that was at best mediocre; it was under cooked in the middle and a bit greasy, with a side of cheap ice cream and a handful of out of season strawberries.  It upset me the most because I really thought that he would recommend to me the best he had to offer instead of the most expensive.  But even if it wasn't for this insult to humanity I still wouldn't recommend this waffle place because they're not very good and let's be honest you probably shouldn't have a waffle covered in chocolate as a snack anyway.

    This was one of the best things I ate on my 10 day trip.  I ordered the maple waffle with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.  White chocolate hot chocolate was on the menu, so I had to try that as well.  Boy, I'll tell you what, this place changed my life.  I'll never look at a waffle the same way.  It was thick, flavorful, rich, dense, and the ice cream was fabulous too. The hot chocolate was to die for.  Literally.  I almost died drinking it, it was so good.  I'd for sure hit this place up again if I had the chance.  Yum!

    Frustrating that they wouldn't accept visa for under $20. I believe this is not legal but will be following up with visa. Otherwise, good experience. The server on  a sat afternoon was particularly friendly and helpful. My daughter spilled water on her jacket and the server helped clean it. The waffles were tasty but I was irked by the visa thing.

    freshly made and perfect toppings.  they'd get a 5 if it wasn't so over priced.

    I recently visited this hole in the wall stand near Dundas Square, and I have to say they make some really goodt waffles. They may be a bit expensive, but  they're worth the every penny. I recommend the maple syrup one with bananas. .it is really delicious! During my stay in Toronto I kept complaining I couldn't find a good Bagel (being a New Yorker!) but now I'd glady trade any bagel for one of these darn delicious waffles. Highly recommended
