Belgium Waffle Haus — Restaurant in Laguna Niguel

Waffles are not bad. Ours were a little on the dry side. The waffles were not light and airy like I usually expect from Belgian waffles. They were more cakey. Some of the flavor combinations were pretty good. If you like those fruit tarts, the custard and berries was good. Not sure why they do the seating arrangement they do (fast food style). You walk in and order, then find a seat. Seating isn't ample and if you get there when it is busy, people take a seat before they even order. So you may get your food and not have a place to sit and eat it. Not really food you eat on the go and since it is food mainly for one specific mealtime rush, I didn't think that worked very well. We got a seat but the poor group of 5 behind us ended up taking turns sitting and eating at a table for 2. A little chaotic. I was not impressed with the wait staff. Twice I had to call them back to clean up spilled sticky messes (which they kept missing) and finally, had to get some water and a napkin and clean it up myself. Going back to the food, overall, not bad but a little overpriced - sit down restaurant prices for fast food atmosphere. The kids proportion was not worth it. Regular size portion is 2 waffles. Kids portion is less than 1 waffle. I do think it is worth a try if they are not busy but not someplace I see myself becoming...

This is a proper breakfast spot. As a former chef, I am not easily pleased but I was immediately and pleasantly surprised by their food.. My wife and I have been to many of the more popular/trending spots in socal, and this place beats them all. No huge lines (which is great, but frankly a shame because this place really deserves it), polite & pleasant staff, and hands down the best waffles we have ever tasted.

Ill put it to you this way, I have half a mind to get a moving van and shove the whole lot of instagram-following, line-standing, thoughtless bunch that gathers at these so called "Best Breakfast in O.C." places, into said van and bring them here. If not to wipe the smug smirks off their faces, then to at least let them have one REAL waffle in their likes/follows lives.

I may have gone on a tangent. Belgian Waffle House is genuinely amazing food. You can taste that everything was made fresh and minutes ago. Not unfrozen for your (their) convenience. This place is 100% recommended and became an instant top spot on our list.

Thank you to the staff for being wonderfully patient as we navigated the menu for the first time, and to our server for following us around as we tried to find the patio spot with...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming spot for the first time, and I was immediately taken by its cozy, welcoming vibe—an ideal setting for enjoying a light breakfast with friends. One of the standout items was their gluten-free Belgian waffles, a real treat for those with celiac disease. Of course, as with any restaurant, there's always the risk of cross-contamination, so it's important to be mindful. That said, the waffle itself was perfectly crispy, with a delicious balance of flavors, especially paired with fresh fruit. It made for a light and satisfying breakfast.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the space made for a pleasant dining experience. While I found the matcha a bit on the sweeter side for my liking, it was still enjoyable, and the variety of alternative milk options was a nice touch. All in all, this is a fantastic spot for a relaxed meal, and I’d definitely...
