Waffle Me Up
204 N Capitol Blvd, Boise, ID
Crema's Take
“This Boise spot celebrates authentic Liège waffles with genuine creativity, offering both unexpected savory options like the beloved Bobacado Deluxe alongside classic sweet variations that go well beyond what you'd find at a standard brunch spot. The owner Hector clearly cares about his customers—reviewers consistently praise the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere and his genuine attention to dietary concerns and allergies. It's the kind of place where you'll linger over coffee and a surprisingly inventive waffle that makes you want to come back and try something new.”

I've enjoyed some sweet waffles in the past, but today we got a savory AND a sweet and oh my goodness, NEW FAVORITE! The Bobacado Deluxe was absolutely fantastic! My daughter lived in Liege, Belgium for a bit and said this is the closest thing she's ever had to waffles from Belgium. 100% recommend!
The combinations were fun and interesting, but the waffles were a little too doughy for my taste.
This was our first time coming to Waffle Me Up. Legit amazing! I have a severe banana allergy, and the owner, Hector, took absolute amazing measures to make sure the place was extra clean and disinfected before making our food! That right there is enough reason for me to want to come back again and again! The coffee was super hot, just like I like it! The food was incredibly delicious! And the service was exceptional. Overall, it was a great experience. If you haven’t checked them out yet, you definitely should the next time you’re downtown Boise!
Waffle Me Up specializes in Liège waffles named after the Belgian city in which they were invented. They differ from the classic Belgian waffles because of the heavier yeast-risen brioche batter. But unlike that part of Belgium, this Idaho version is most certainly not eaten plain. And the toppings are remarkably diverse and clever. In a very popular and vibrant store, boisterous crowds enjoy these freshly made waffles with custom ordered toppings. I personally like a good waffle with melted butter and copious amounts of powdered sugar. Unfortunately, cookie butter was the only alternative. And while delicious, it was closer to cold, uncooked batter than the melty goodness I prefer. And their version of a double dose of powdered sugar was what I would call a half dose at home. But it was still a delicious waffle, nonetheless. It's too bad there isn't a station to control your own butter and sugar quantities. But customers would probably abuse that. The waffle itself wasn't quite as good as my expectations after reading the sign's impressive description. But this is an excellent place for breakfast or brunch.
Waffle Me Up is an interesting food and coffee shop with all food related to the waffle topic, the idea is creative and the food is fun and delicious. Whether you are a big fan of waffles, you can always find something you enjoy here. The shop shares the dinning area with Boise Fried Company, it’s has a stylish, cozy and artistic vibe inside, but can be noisy sometimes. It’s noticeable that the prices have risen up for the food and deserts here, so the prices on the menu photos are not accurate, whether it’s worth the new price is up to your budget.
