Is it just me, or are crepe and waffle shops popping up everywhere? I just keep noticing them and consequently entering their doors. Or, in the case of Provo's latest sweet-stop, entering their stand window to order. The Awful Waffle, just south of BYU campus, serves up crepes and waffles--both true to Belgium style. Their equipment and recipes come straight from Belgium. I have to say, I haven't had such a delicious from a restaurant in a long time. The texture was perfection and flavor of the batter was great!
We stopped by a few weeks ago for a date-night treat and were 100% satisfied. We tried a raspberry, Nutella and whipped cream crepe and a Belgium waffle with cinnamon sugar, strawberries and whipped cream. This waffle was slightly crisp on the outside and soft and pillowy yet dense on the inside. I loved it. I was reminded of a churro with the crunch of cinnamon and sugar atop.
The Awful Waffle had a nice assortment of toppings and topping recomendations, so I imagine everyone can find what they like. As much as I'm into cookies, cakes, doughnuts and cupcakes...I think I'll head out for a Belgium Waffle in Provo next time I'm in need of a sweet-fix.
And bonus: The Awful Waffle is right next to J-Dawgs, so make it a polish-kraut-special-sauce-meal with a Belgium waffle dessert. Sounds like a great date night to me!

Oh yummmm. We used to sometimes go to The European Connection for crepes. They were delish. I wish they hadn't disappeared. We've also tried that waffle place by Pioneer Park in SL and it was pretty tasty, but we walked out feeling like our stomachs were full of grease!
I'll have to give it a try some Saturday morning. Sounds fun.
That looks like a great place to eat some good waffles!
