It's A Wow for Wow Wow Waffle

The North Park neighborhood of San Diego is home to all things artsy, funky and just plain fun.  Thanks to Marilyn and Sue, our breakfast bunch group visited Wow Wow Waffle for a fun and delicious morning of great waffles, and a short walking tour of the beautiful Craftsman homes in the area.  I would never have found this place on my own.  It's on 30th Street, in a mixed neighborhood of residential and commercial.  Most of the businesses are housed in old bungalow style houses.  Wow Wow Waffle is one of these.

Wow Wow Waffle began in 2011 as a food truck, with a presence all over San Diego at the local Farmer's Markets.  They developed such a following that they decided to open a brick and mortar restaurant.  The only item served at Wow Wow Waffle is, you guessed it, waffles.  They serve sweet and savory waffles.  I enjoyed a waffle topped with goat cheese, smashed avocado, and candied bacon for $7.  They offer a parfait waffle, topped with greek yogurt and fruit.  Other waffles included one topped with Nutella, another fruit and whipped cream.  They also make waffle sandwiches, like the turkey sandwich, which uses waffles instead of bread.

If you go to Belgium, you find street waffles everywhere.  It's a snack that people pick up at kiosks on the street, much like the crepe in France.  In America, we're not there yet, but waffles are definitely catching on.  Wow Wow started as truck, and is now a free standing restaurant.  Everyone in North Park knows about it, and  now you do too.  The food was great, the staff was super friendly, and the ambience was eclectic.  If you're in the area, try it for breakfast or brunch.  Be sure to check their hours, as they're are not open all the time.  All I can say is, WOW, after eating at Wow Wow Waffle.
