Every waffle
is a formula
worth solving.
We obsess over the details—butterfly-crisp edges, custardy centers, locally roasted espresso—so you get a morning that actually feels worth the alarm clock.
Our Menu
Built around the waffle,
finished with everything else.
From our signature buttermilk classic to seasonal fruit tarts, every item on the plate starts with a commitment to quality ingredients and precise technique.
The Classic Buttermilk
—Our original recipe—light, custardy interior with shatteringly crisp edges. Served with whipped butter and pure maple syrup.
Chocolate Hazelnut
—Cocoa-infused batter studded with toasted hazelnuts, finished with a dark chocolate ganache drizzle and sea salt.
The Deluxe
—Double-stacked with mascarpone cream, macerated seasonal berries, and a whisper of vanilla bean. Our most ordered plate.
Single-Origin Coffee
—Rotating selection of single-origin pour-overs and espressos from roasters we trust. Ask about today's origin.
Fresh Pastries
—Butter croissants, almond pain au chocolat, and seasonal tarts—baked every morning before the waffle irons heat up.
Smoothies & Juices
—Cold-pressed juices and blended smoothies made with whole fruit, Greek yogurt, and superfood add-ins. No concentrates, ever.
Menu items rotate seasonally. Please ask your server about allergens and dietary accommodations.
Our Story
We started with a
single iron and a stubborn standard.
Waffle Lab opened its first kitchen in 2014 on the Lower East Side with one conviction: a waffle doesn't need to be complicated to be extraordinary. Just the right ratio of buttermilk to butter, a iron that runs hot, and the patience to let each batch reach full crispness.
Today we operate four locations across New York City, but our kitchen standards haven't shifted. We mill our own flour blend, churn our own butter, and roast our coffee in small batches. Every ingredient earns its place on the plate—or it doesn't make the cut.
Our Midtown Manhattan kitchen at 32nd Street serves as our flagship, where the line moves fast but nothing leaves the pass without a second look.
