Zinneken's Belgian waffles | Glastonbury — Restaurant in Glastonbury

This was my first visit today and it wasn't very impressive. It's located in a very old, outdated, dangerous (parking lot layout/needs a lot of repair) plaza and this is someone's first impression of this place from the outside. There are then only two whacky sized parking spaces reserved out front. The inside is the total opposite of the outside; it's so beautiful inside so, great job there. When I made my order, I said it was "to go" and another employee came out of nowhere with a special map because "to go" and "online order pick up" orders have to be picked up from a drive thru window that's only accessible via following the map. That was very, very weird and confusing because when I did find the pick up window, it was behind and then around the building a little in this insanely narrow one way drive thru/exit area. What made that area worse is that traffic seems to be allowed to go through there but can't if someone's waiting at the drive thru. This whole part of this first trip at this was just so confusing and weird. Oh! Also, let me mention the GIANT potholes and blind exits that you'll encounter on your entire visit here. Don't get into an accident and/or damage your car! Finally, the food. It was okay. I got the waffle loaded with berries and added whipped cream for a small additional amount. The waffle was ok, the berries were cold and just added in as a side basically, the whipped cream was home made and delicious, and there was no syrup added. Altogether, I feel like this place rushed in here and opened without being completely ready. I might be back but I don't know. Especially since the...

Editing to add recent experience as of January 18th, 2025. I will NOT be in a hurry to come back here ever again. Believe the reviews about bad staff, rudeness etc. Went there today and had the absolute worst experience. It's not cheap enough to overlook or go back. It seems things really changed in the last few months as we had been several times and had great experiences. Upon reading recent reviews, our experience is now common. Whatever changed change it back. Your staff stinks now and so did our whole breakfast. Also, you may want to look into at least having your staff point out proper tables for guest numbers. Several of the individual or duo seats were open while the actual tables were taken up by single or couples diners. Two women ran as fast as they could to cut off our 4 top. You shouldn't have to talk to another customer to get a seat or experience that type of rudeness. Will likely not be back.

These are quite possibly the best waffles I've ever had, the breakfast, coffee and service are equally good! I've tried a little bit of everything except the hot tea and can highly recommend it all! The only drawback is the space is small so plan accordingly but the staff is very efficient and keeps things moving. If you have a large party I would recommend possibly calling ahead for accommodations. Absolutely wonderful stop and we will definitely be back. You just need to build one closer to us in...

Belgian waffles made by actual Belgians but with a welcome sign in French.....Bonjour located in New England, USA. I was lost!!

Not sure about their origins but they sure do bake one of the best waffles I have eaten in USA, which is outside Belgium....did they just save me a trip to Belgium that I had in mind to just go to Belgium to eat their waffles?

Apparently the owner, Nhon, has roots with both his parents owning a world-renowned restaurant in Belgium, while his mother being the only female Asian chef to attain the coveted Michelin Star Award. Nhon did well learning and tasting the waffles baked by his mom and let us experience the yummy, crispy yet chewey Belgian waffle.

Menu has the Brussels waffle, which is light and crispy made from a delicate batter and their signature waffle, the Belgian Sugar waffle (aka Liège waffle), made from a dense dough encrusted with imported pearl sugar from Belgium. We got 2 Liege and one Brussels waffle which are baked right in front of you and then topped with your choice of various toppings which include fruits, chocolate, nutella and others. We went with the raspberry and blueberry on one, nutealla on one and plain on the other. If you like lot of toppings, go with strawberry and banana as the customers across us got that and they were loaded.

I would definitely go back there again, if you haven't, make sure you go give it a try, you will not be...
