Euro Wafel Bar

This adventure started with two young people, awake, famished, and ready to have some delicious waffles. They took and Über and found what may have been the correct door. What they did not find was — waffles. Theses brunchers wandered the halls of Tower City. I called this number on Unilocal — voicemail. What was going on? Bruncher #2 suggested going on their website. Said site said they were located in University Circle. Further confusion and desperation ensued. I called the number on the website, and… They’re only in Beachwood?! There are not enough emoji to describe the despair these two adventurers experienced. Alas, waffles were not had.
Tldr; THE WAFFLE IS A LIE

I love this concept of a waffle bar! It’s so unique and you won’t find many places like it. There is plenty of variety for every palette, even the adventurous ones. The cookie butter is a must try, especially if you are a peanut butter fan (or not). The texture is similar, but of course it is much sweeter. The waffle is made from dough so if you like your waffles a bit softer, go with the liege waffle option. I also recommend trying the Rising Star coffee.
The service was great. The owner is personable and very attentive. He likes to have conversations with his customers and get to know them. There is also a lot to choose from on the menu, so he is very helpful in picking out something that you will like.
My only complaint about this place is that it’s hard to find. There is no clear sign outside the building saying «Euro Wafel Bar.» When you map it based on the address, it takes you to the front of tower city on Huron rather than the public square side, which is where this is located. My friend and I wandered around Tower City for a minute to find it. The best way to get there is to go in the door to the left of the Renaissance Hotel in public square. It’ll be to the left once you go in.
Summary: A great hole in the wall place worth finding and worth returning to!

I would definitely check out this place again! A lot of options and you get more than what you’d expect from a typical waffle bar! The service was great — the owner is very personable with the customers and was helpful in choosing what kind of creation I wanted. Next time I’ll be tasting the coffee because the waffle alone leaves you full and satisfied!

Delicious, well prepared wafel. They know waffles. Variety of coffee is small but each brew is delicious. I would like to see a store front, with a bigger menu but for Belgium wafel restaurant in Tower City and Beachwood Mall your not going to find anything like it in the city. Its pricey until you eat it, the taste experience in the area make it well worth the price I think.

Words can not express the greatness of this waffle. Just watching the man make it, made my taste bud start jumping. It was made with so much TLC! Delicious… That’s all that needs to be said about it!!!

Went to the pop up shop inside Rising Star Café of Little Italy on a Sunday afternoon just before it began down pouring. I wasn’t upset we had to stay inside after smelling Whodafa’s (first name of the owner) waffles.
My boyfriend got the stuffed cookie batter and I got Nutella. I recommended trying the cookie batter because it was so much better than classic Nutella.
He makes them with a soft dough rather than a thick batter like most do. The batter allows the waffle to be crispier and thinner while still being fulfilling without excess dough. This difference along with the fresh made to order aspect really makes these waffles worth returning for.
Be aware as other commenters have stated, the waffles are pricy starting at $ 9 but they’re worth every penny! And who wouldn’t be happy helping out an entrepreneur enjoying himself as much as Whodafa does by doing what he loves?

Located just inside the entrance to the Terminal Tower near the doors to the hotel. This little Euro style Belgian waffle counter is the real deal. Mixing up the best batter and using the secret ingredient of a «true» Belgian waffle this little gem reminds me of the best places tucked into those cobblestone streets of Europe. Great variety and super friendly staff. Don’t miss getting a little taste of Europe in Cleveland!

The service is great. The guy is friendly and attentive. I thought it was pretty pricey for a place with no sitting area. Around $ 7-​$ 9 for waffle with fruit and chocolate.
They really need to improve their presentation too. Looking at the display is pretty sad.
They offer Rising star coffee which is great!
I really miss good Belgian waffles so I see myself coming back here often. I am happy they exist! I really hope they put more thought behind presentation so they can get more costumers. It is hard to find them. You have to walk towards the Reinnassence Hotel entrance from the inside of Tower City.

The newest addition to Tower City is definitely a wonderful one! It’s located in a small stand towards the Tower City entrance on the Public Square side — on the side that has the door leading to the Renaissance hotel. Although small and unassuming, with just chalkboards filled with menu items lining the walls, this place has some VERY delicious dessert options (breakfast? late night bite? whatever you consider these waffle delicacies) to offer!
I finally wandered over to Tower City for breakfast after reading the existing raving reviews about the waffles. I’m not even exaggerating when I say I walked around tower city for 10 minutes before finding a couple eating the waffles and finally getting good directions from them as to where the stand was located. I tried calling the owner a few times before this, but there was no answer– and when I got to the stand, I understood why. He was the sole person manning the stand and the line was about 10 deep.
The owner had a food truck before opening the shop and now has two– one here in tower city and one in university circle. I was reading an article on him, and the owner discovered this style of waffle while traveling in Europe. Rather than using batter, he uses dough. You can see him preparing your fresh waffle and he literally presses it into the iron until it’s cooked to perfection — and I can definitely taste the difference.
I opted for the Parisienne savory option AND the Heavenly sweet option. I figured I would eat half of each for a taste (we won’t get into the fact that I ended up finishing both leftover halves an hour later…) I also ordered the Nutella Macchiato to give it a try (and I’m always down for anything Nutella). The Parisienne had brie, honey, and maple syrup and was DELICIOUS– could have used a little more syrup, though. I folded it up and ate it like a sandwich! The Heavenly waffle had nutella, strawberries, and whipped cream and was just as delicious. These waffles just have a tiny hint of sweetness alone, so they are easily able to be paired with sweet toppings to satisfy any sweet tooth without overdoing it! The coffee (I believe they use Rising Star Coffee!) was really good, too. I didn’t taste the Nutella much, and I realized why when I neared the end of my cup and opened the top and saw all the nutella stuck on the side. Coffee tasted just fine without it, so Im not upset by it.
Overall, I did spend 23 dollars for my 2 gourmet waffles and macchiato — which is a bit steep in my opinion. However, I think it’s definitely worth it, and I will definitely be back for treats — I just don’t think I’ll be here daily for a waffle fix! They reopen at night and offer delivery so I can definitely see myself coming by for a late night waffle after a night out!

PS don’t try to be fancy and eat this with a fork and knife, just pick it up and indulge :)

So how is the food at Euro Wafel Bar? The most important thing you need to know is it’s about to be one of the best places in the city.
We ordered the speculoos which is a cookie butter and it had strawberries, whip cream, and heavenly powdered sugar… so simple but so damn good! The wafel is made with dough and it definitely is a unique texture that will make you just mmmmm as soon as you eat it. Euro has taken the wafel crown! It’s like the Candy Land of Dessert!!! The menu is filled with absolute ridiculousness, including items from the Strawbana with strawberries, banana, and whip cream, the Brasilliene, which has caramel, speculoos, whip and ice cream on the menu. If Parisienne with brie cheese, honey, and maple syrup and caramel pretzel pancakes don’t sound crazy enough, a simple but delightful wafle will do the trick!
My only suggestion for the owner would be to go local with his ice cream, he said he uses Pierre’s ice cream, but i’m all about keeping things simple, small, and local.
Here’s what Euro Wafel Bar is not: a terrible tasting wafel place, with bad customer service… When I called the delivery number to find out where it was located in Tower City, I spoke with the owner and he told me where and said they would be closing soon, we were eating dinner somewhere else and he was kind enough to wait on us after his location closed. And ladies the owner is very easy on the eyes, so watching a handsome man make your wafel is definitely a perk!

I’ve been craving a waffle for like eight months now and haven’t been able to find one that satisfied my craving… until now! We called ahead to see what the hours were and the owner said they’d be closing between 7 and 8pm, but he stayed open until we could rush over there which was really nice of him. Once inside Tower City we couldn’t find the stand right away, but another quick call to the owner and before we knew it, voilà! delicious Belgian waffles for everyone! The owner was very friendly and readily provided information about his unique product.
We both got a waffle with speculoos (cookie butter) drizzled over it with fresh cut strawberries, a big shot of whip cream, and a light dusting of powdered sugar. The waffles are made with dough instead of batter which gives them this nice crispy outside and a soft doughy inside. I’ve never had speculoos before, but this stuff is delicious! The strawberries added a nice fresh cut to the other toppings, and this waffle was just overall a very pleasing yummy treat!
I didn’t have a ruler with me, but I’d say the waffles are about 5×4 inches big and mine came to $ 9. I think this is a little pricey even for a fancy dessert waffle, but it’s downtown Cleveland and the waffle was damn tasty. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

Four stars vs. 5 is more an indication that they are still working through startup issues. I fully anticipate they will be up to five stars soon. My Parisienne wafel (correct spelling, it appears) was great, and I look forward to trying their other offerings. Rising Star coffee was an added bonus.
A navigation tip: Euro Wafel is located in the corridor connecting the Renaissance Hotel with the rest of Tower City.

Authentic Belgian waffles and a much-​needed gourmet coffee offering in Tower City. Proprietors are nice chaps who really care about what they’re doing. This started as a pop-​up but now has a more permanent home. They’re tucked away by the newsstand, so easy to miss but well worth seeking out.
