9 Go-To Waffle Spots of Every Waffle Lovers Within Metro Manila

For me, waffles are the best. They always hit the spot because I can enjoy them in two ways. When I crave something sweet, they are perfect as dessert with chocolate, fruits, or ice cream. When I want something filling, they work just as well as a savoury snack with chicken, bacon, or cheese. Crispy outside, soft inside, and always satisfying.

Metro Manila is full of spots where waffles shine. So, I have asked fellow waffle lovers what their own go-to spots are. Here are some of the most recommended!
