Portland Eateries Part I: The Waffle Window

It definitely seems like my blog is naturally becoming one centered around food, and I'm fine with that.  I realize that there is no way at all I can become a professional blogger - one who updates things regularly - since my last post was over a month ago!  Whoops...

Anyhow I decided to make a series called Portland Eateries!  Is this going to be a weekly thing?  A monthly thing?  A whenever-I-feel-like-it-thing?  I have no idea.  But what I do know is that The Waffle Window on NE Alberta St. is amaaaaaaazing.

Whenever I have friends visiting Portland I am often asked, "What food place should I try in Portland?"  I always say "The Waffle Window!"  The Waffle Window has two locations - one in SE Portland and the other in NE Portland.  I've only been to the NE Alberta St. (NE Portland) and it's because on both occasions I wanted to sit down and eat.  From what you can read on yelp, the SE Portland has a dining area that it shares with an adjacent restaurant.  The NE Portland location however is more like a cafe-esque type of place where you can sit and happily munch on your waffles.  They have SO. MANY. WAFFLES.  From sweet to savory and to even waffle sundaes (what???) with seasonal specials, there's something to satisfy everyone and anyone.

Now for some beautiful waffle images:

The "Three B's" Waffle - Bacon, Brie, and Basil

Look at how beautiful that is!  I somehow always wind up getting the Three B's.  Even when I feel adventurous and want to try something new, I end up asking for it.  There's just something so magical about the harmony between crunchy, salty, sweet, and savory tastes that form in my mouth with every bite.  It also comes with a big heaping of their house-made peach jam.  I die.  I'm kicking myself for not knowing the exact price, and not all prices are listed on their menu, but I believe it was less than $9.

More waffles:

Nutella and Fresh Banana Waffle looking all delicious.

I'm not a big fan of sweet things, so the waffle above was happily devoured by my boyfriend.  I had about two bites and it definitely reminded me more of a cake than a waffle.  The whipped cream wasn't too heavy nor did it taste like it came from a can, and it was topped with delicate cinnamon-sugar and fudge.  Again, I'm not too sure about the prices but I'm positive this one was less than $9 also.

They also have some hand-crafted lemonades like blackberry basil and green tea mint.  I'm a devout fan of green tea so you can guess which one I always get.

So basically if you want to eat something different, delicious, and satisfying, definitely try The Waffle Window the next time you're visiting Portland!  You'll spend less than $10 a person and leave happy!  Are you a fan of waffles?  Have you visited The Waffle Window before?  Let me know what you think in the comments below and don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin`!
