Location: Wafel & Dinges is everywhere, in Ktown, in Bryan Park and every other street vendor activities. My advice for trying out Wafel & Dinges is to always go to the solid store shops in order to secure the chance that you won’t miss it.
I had in Bryan park. Some seats are out and there’s always outdoor seating.
No decoration.
Some napkins and knives and forks are around
I had Throwdown waffle. Chocolate layer with cream on top of it. Just image first, isn’t it gonna be wonderful when you first bite it. Yeah, and it is more than wonderful than you can image.
Turn down for Throwdown!

Hellooooo spekuloos! Always always always add spekuloos on your waffle! I was lucky enough to find them at a beer garden in Downtown Manhattan during Belgian Week. I don’t follow them on twitter but I should! Waffles and beer = a good time.

Been to other Wafels and Dinges places before. Most of them are good outside of the Bryant Park one which is I think a little bit lower quality by comparison, at least for the waffles.
They seem to hire pretty friendly staff here. WMD is the best deal but otherwise, if you are looking for only ½ toppings at most, the speculoos is highly recommended and I think I’ve had that before with strawberries or bananas on top also which is good. (if you don’t want to buy/​eat an entire thing of the slightly less sweet/​slightly worse texture wise cookie butter from Trader Joes.
I am almost happy their shakes are overpriced because oh my are they delicious.
4.2, I’d give it a 5 for a food cart if the prices were lower.

I’ve only tried it once, but that was more than enough for me.
It’s super heavy — extremely sweet and doesn’t really taste like a homemade waffle. The topping options are pretty standard as well: strawberries bananas chocolate syrup & whipped cream. What was good was the spekuloos (sp?)spread. That was tasty and the guy gave it to us as an extra topping on the side so it was a plus. But the waffles are pricey for something that’s not all that.
They may smell great as you approach the cart in Central Park, but with all of the quality sweets throughout the city, I think I’ll pass.

This was hands down the best wafel I have ever had in my life. It was also the best ice cream I’ve ever had and the wafel was just the right amount of chewy and the right amount of sweet. I recommend this to anyone who loves donuts because the taste was reminiscent of a glazed donut (but the wafel was better). Make sure to get some toppings also! The strawberries added a nice fresh touch and balanced out the creamy/​rich flavor of the ice cream and wafel

It’s all about the spekuloos. That stuff is addictive. I was never a fan of Nutella, but I can see myself covering everything edible with this creamy goodness.
To me it tastes like a gingerbread or cinnamon spread. I have no idea what is really in it, but I do know it’s good. That’s all that’s you need to know.
The gentleman making it was such a delight. He was cracking us up with his jokes while making our order. He seemed to enjoy his job even though it was close to freezing.
Eating a warm waffle with that spread is so nice during a cold day in New York. I would recommend a nice, warm drink to help wash it down because you might be overwhelmed with globs of it in your mouth. They like to pile it on. After a while I had to pass on the rest to the hubby.
It’s a sweet, cheap treat for the times you just want to wander around the city gawking at what it has to offer.

This place has a great selection of dessert treats! I ordered the waffles with bananas, strawberries and ice cream. It was so good. I ate the whole thing myself! Felt very sleepy after, but enjoyed every second of while I was eating. It was a little pricey, but worth it, especially if you’re going to share it with someone.

We visited the kiosk at the Bryant Park (not the corner location). First of all, the lady at the cart was so grumpy and no smiles. I know New Yorkers are rude, but you are a business, does it kill for you to put on a happy attitude? Ok, not even a happy attitude, at least a positive attitude. She certainly didn’t want to be there! I was so tempted to try the corner location at the Bryant Park to see if the product would have taste different? But wasting one $ 10 was enough, so we didn’t try the corner location when we were there the next day.
The waffles were pre-​made and soggy (not because of the topping)! It was definitely a great disappointment. Really nothing special. Not sure how they got so many rave reviews.

Saw these guys at Union Square, or was it at Columbus Circle? Saw them at the Holiday Mart and tried one of their Dinges. I decided to get the Dinges w/​Nutella and we also got just a plain Dinges.
It was pretty good, the dinges itself wasn’t overly sweet, nice & crisp with a little chew inside. For the nutella one, its just nutella on top of a dinges. A good afternoon snack while shopping and walking around.
A bit pricey though, $ 7 per dinges. They will ask you if you like a little dusting of powdered sugar on top too. So I gladly obliged and had them dust away.
Overall, the staff was quick & friendly to get the order cranked out and get you through the line.

One of the best tasting waffle I have ever had!
Perfect waffle every time. My favorite location is the one nearby Brooklyn Bridge.

I honestly don’t know why I haven’t thought of reviewing this place till now!
Okay so here’s a little story which you probably aren’t interested in, but I have the dire need to recite anyway.
I have been the biggest Wafels and Dinges fan since I moved into the city which was almost three years ago. The truck was always parked right outside my campus, and there was a weekly sighting right outside my apartment complex. It basically haunted me wherever I went, probably because it simply knew that it had won over my heart. I’ve been a pretty firm believer in Wafels & Dinges long before they opened their relatively new café. I’ve made every single friend of mine try them out and popped their Wafels & Dinges cherry one too many times. Seriously, best thing ever. This is always a good idea.
Now moving onto more important things…
Try the liege waffle. You won’t regret it. If you’re too full and just want a mini dessert, which is usually the case for me, you can get a mini liege waffelini. It’s like 3 – 4 bucks, I think, and you get unlimited toppings on it. Without fail, I always get nutella, strawberries, and a scoop of Spekuloos ice cream. Now, please do not underestimate the power of this heavenly creation called Spekuloos Ice Cream. Yes, it’ll cost you an extra two bucks, but it is honestly the best thing and your taste buds will be partying all day and night long afterwards. I promise you.
Also, I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t truly enjoy this. It’s a real gem.
Ps. You can track the trucks on their twitter page!

Pretty good snack to warm up in the cold but definitely not the best liege waffle I’ve had. The cart can be kind of hard to find so make sure you cross the bridge a bit.

Awesome waffles!!! It was soft, chewy, and caramelized along the exterior. Cooked to order and drizzled with nutella and fresh strawberries… dusted with powdered sugar. So simple, yet do decadent! I am so craving one right now!

You know, there are nights I lie awake and the thought of speculoos and liege wafel lingers in my thoughts. It’s something of magic, this stuff. The best way me and my boyfriend describe it is: a yeasty donut or brioche pressed into a perfectly sweetened, crisp waffle topped with whatever you want. Great waffles, worth the hype. And thankfully, there are locations all over the city. The portions are admittedly small but this isn’t something I can casually whip up at home. Shareable as dessert if you’ve just had dinner but I’d definitely get my own if I wanted more than a few bites.

Esse é de longe o melhor waffle que já comi na vida, quando vi o truck deles pela primeira vez (na saída da Brooklyn Bridge, do lado de Manhattan), quase chorei de felicidade, e eu nem tinha provado a delícia ainda, essa reação foi só de olhar pros waffles alheios mesmo. Ele é tão gostoso quanto é bonito, ainda mais com sorvete, fudge de chocolate belga, morangos e spekuloos por cima. É realmente deliciosa a combinação, mas se comer o waffle puro também é gostoso, pra você ver como que é bom.
Eles tem os trucks espalhados por Manhattan, você pode rastreá-​los por GPS (tem um no Central Park e outro na saída da Brooklyn Bridge, geralmente), e também um local fixo na Herald Square (perto da Macy’s). O que eu mais gosto é o do Central Park pois você pode pegar seu waffle e sentar no parque para se deliciar, vai ser um programa dois em um. Os valores não são absurdos, os waffles com as coberturas não passam de $ 10, e são bem grandes. Eles também servem uns menores mas não dá pra colocar muita coisa em cima desses, não cabe.

Their waffles are so delicious! I had a waffle with ice cream and chocolate sauce. awesome. Perfect coupled with my latte. It was a great late night snack in Manhattan when most everything around us was closed. The staff was helpful and service was quick. Great location near to Times Square that had a courtyard nearby that we sat at and ate.

I wish they warm up my chocolate croissant. It was still delish!
Great location by Bryant park. We stopped by here before jumping into the subway to LGA. It was a great last stop and being able to enjoy it while at the park.
My little sister had the marshmallow waffle, I tried it and yes it is one of the best waffle we ever had.
Will certainly go back if we’re in town.

Got this truck in park slope for a quick breakfast bite & was so excited! They have so many flavors I had a hard time choosing. Luckily the guy making the waffles made some recommendations.
I got the mini wmd. The can do any flavor you want in a mini serving which is great! Came with strawberries, Nutella & whipped cream. The waffles was moist but crisp. Sweet but not so much that I felt like I had a tooth ache and overall delicious. Price was pretty great too $ 5 for a treat.
I would def get another waffle from this stand in the future

Do not come here for anything but their sweet waffle or ice cream. Everything else is poorly done.
Arrived with a Groupon, that came with 2 savory waffles, 2 drinks, and 2 ice cream cones.
The drinks only deserve 0 stars: tried the vanilla matcha chai and the regular chai, both iced. The lady behind the counter was clearly new, because she kept asking her coworker for help (who was on his laptop at the counter against the window). The chais were straight up just 90% milk & ice, and half a pump of a syrup of some kind. Ours tasted exactly the same, even though we ordered 2 different drinks. For $ 4.50 each, I would have given 0 stars if possible.
The waffles get 1 star. My friend had the Smoked salmon waffle, and enjoyed it. I tried his, but felt the actual waffle was masked by the sour cream. The smoked salmon was a little too brown for me, but he didn’t seem to notice.
I got the «Wake up, Grumpy», with bacon. It was sickeningly sweet, charred bacon bits. The description said it came with a biscuit waffle, but I was served a hashbrown waffle, which was sour. The eggs were good (scrambled) but the meal didn’t match the description.
The ice creams deserved 4 stars. The cones were tasty, and the server offered to fill them with fudge before the ice cream, which was delicious. The spekaloos ice cream is incredible! Tiny scoops, but fantastic.
While we were waiting for our ice cream, I saw 2 huge flies, flying around and landing quite often on the waffles that were pre-​made, on display. I hope to God that those waffles are not served to customers, and they are only for show. I saw those flies hop around to almost every waffle, even when the waitress was nearby. Ahh!
I will give them a positive remark, because they were offering free hot chai to passersby. A homeless man approached, and was physically unable to help himself to the vessel. The waitress kindly helped him get a cup, which I will give them another star for, because it was flat out gracious.
2 stars in total: despicable food & drinks, very good ice cream, flies actually touching the food and no one shooing them away, but kind to homeless strangers.

My favorite mobile truck! Trying their Central Park cart for today.
Their liege (waffle) as advertised that soft and chewy is true. I could attest to that. An included free dinge (topping) will make your meal for $ 6. They have 10 choices of dinges and each additional topping is $ 1. If you are an ice cream lover, you could top it off for extra $ 2. Unlimited toppings is $ 3.
I am okay with one topping and an ice cream. For me, if you over top it, loses the waffle concentration. Oh well, it depends on what you preference.
The location is just perfect, in the middle of the park, close to the Delacorte theater, lots of park benches nearby and easy garbage disposal access.
Sweet staff serviced us today and did not give me hard time claiming my Unilocal deal offer. I got a $ 1 off for checking in. The benefit of being a Unilocaler.

Everyone speaks about how great the waffles are – and trust me they deserve the claim – but there’s never enough credit given to the staff, who in all my times going have been nothing less than spectacularly friendly.
The past time I went, the truck was just south of Washington Square Park, and everyone had coupons – except for me. The worker commented on this, and was nice enough to give me a free small waffle with toppings and speculoos ice cream. Of course the food is delicious, but the staff is truly something else.

Hands down to nos amis les belges !! NO COMMENT

Get the spekulos! SO delicious, im drooling.
