10 Best Places To Eat Waffles In Brooklyn

10 Best Places To Eat Waffles In Brooklyn

It’s #NationalWaffleDay! On August 24, 1869, a man named Cornelius Swartwout received the first U.S. patent for the waffle iron (though it really was just an improvement on existing designs that go back centuries). Want more history of waffles? Mental Floss did an excellent post last year, check it out!

To celebrate, here are a few amazing waffle places in Brooklyn — in no particular order of course.

  1. Sweet Chick (Williamsburg + Prospect Heights)

This cute shop offers delicious waffles as well as fried chicken, desserts, and cocktails. What a combination! It’s become so popular that there are four locations across the country, from the two in Brooklyn, to one in Lower East Side in Manhattan, all the way across the country to Los Angeles.

Address:1706 Sheepshead Bay Rd

Arbuz means watermelon in Russian. But what do watermelons have to do with waffles, you may ask? “Just like arbuz, all of our products are light, healthy and refreshing,” their website states. This is mainly a dessert shop, with a great waffle selection: Russian Caramel Sauce with Berries Waffle, Nutella and Banana Waffle, Peanut Butter and Jelly Waffle, and Cream Cheese Waffle (along with many more).

7. Jimmy’s Diner (Williamsburg)
