Waffleton — Restaurant in Idyllwild-Pine Cove

What a terrible place to visit. I rarely leave negative reviews, but our visit to Waffleton was incredibly disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the man at the register ignored us completely - no greeting, no acknowledgment. When we tried to ask a couple of simple questions about the menu, especially regarding the gluten-free options (which were very important to us due to my 4-year-old daughter's severe gluten allergy), he responded by just pointing at the menu in a condescending way, without saying a word. He seemed distracted and in an awful mood - one that my family and I did not deserve.

We chose Waffleton specifically because they offer gluten-free waffles, which seemed like a great option for our family. But the lack of basic courtesy and the dismissive attitude made us feel completely unwelcome. For a place that caters to dietary needs, you'd expect at least a bit of empathy or understanding.

We ended up leaving without ordering. It's really unfortunate, because we were excited to try the food - but we won't be returning. If you value basic decency, I would suggest that you avoid this...

Wow wow wow!!! Waffleton is AWESOME. My girlfriend and I visited Idyllwild this past weekend and had such a wonderful time. The hikes, the mountains, the people, the vibe and the food! It’s such a great, artistic, friendly mountain town. One of our favorite spots was Waffelton. We liked it so much we went there three times! We had the loose leaf tea and home made hot coco the first time. It was so good we went back the next evening for more beverages and tried the soup. It was AMAZING… a home made recipe all the way from Spain. Finally on the third day we went and tried a sweet waffle. 🤯🤯🤯 So so so good.

Paula brought this waffle machine all the way from Europe and it is worth it. Really dug the vibe, the food, the people, the dog. Highly recommend next time you are in...

Tried this place we'll hear on assignment a couple of my guys from the truck. Their tea is amazing You should definitely give that a try It was just plain iced tea I enjoyed it. We all tried variations of their grilled cheese and we were not disappointed by any of them The food was delicious. They also have waffles we did not get a chance to try those unfortunately but I bet they're delicious too. They have an array of different drinks and coffees as well. Stop by give this...
