I was charged $5 for gravy on the side for the home fries. I checked with the manager, and it is indeed the correct price for a side of gravy. I said that it's unreasonable and they said that's the way it is. Cool hill to die on. Won't be back. Edit: See sassy defense from the owner below. Plain homefries and gravy cost a ton for what it is. It wasn't a poutine. Just a side. Additionally none of the cups were clean and the fruit included with the crepe was rock hard. Typically it's good form to just take the feedback and thank people for providing it. Not double down :(

Really enjoyed the food and location. Really only reviewing so others will see and have a heads up that it’s not super intuitive how things work when you get in with no sign or greeting (at least not while we were here) . We saw a few that got frustrated and it probably coloured the rest of their experience since they planned to relax and decide on food and enjoy that process. The process: The menu board is on a wall to your right and you can select what you like and then further ahead on your left they take your order at the cash and you pay in advance. You probably want someone to go save a table while you are in line. After that, everything’s great.

This place is a local vibe restaurant but very delicious food. We tried western and florentine omelette and Banana split waffle. And their chocolate cookie is mouthwatering. Waffle were soft, fresh and delicious and quantity is good. But this restaurant isn’t for you if you want a fine dine or proper restaurant vibe. Its a local and opened in a house but food is delicious.

*updated* Disappointed to say the least Upon entry no greeting until a couple minutes went by of staring at a server - no signs saying order at counter instead of order at seating The price for Hollandaise was 3.99 plus tax for two tablespoons … wild My kiddos orange juice wasn’t filled all the way and our coffees were bitter For the price of this place you expect wait staff at your table not a takeaway place, a hundred dollar meal for 3 people consisted of over easy eggs preperred, browned and over done. Sunny side up eggs were under cooked - no consistency. The sausage over done (hard) and Nutella banana crepe had barely any Nutella. Over all this place had so much potential but instead was a complete let down. I used to love this place but now, mediocre take away food for eat in prices. Expected to tip before you even get your food? What? Bland, overpriced and not worth the visit.

Food was fine. They have a good variety of food and taste pretty good. Theres just one thing thats somewhat not acceptable. Can you believe they charge $1.5 for mayo!!!!!! Who does that? Is our economy that bad that you need to start charging customer for mayo? I was very disappointed when I heard this.

The value for money of the plates is very reasonable. The person at the checkout had not put on his customer service smile that day, made no effort to understand us, in short, not friendly.

First, the good: the waffles are truly excellent. They are light, fluffy, and cooked to perfection with a variety of toppings that cater to every palate. From classic maple syrup and butter to more decadent options like strawberries and whipped cream or savory choices like bacon and cheese, each waffle is a treat. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite, making it clear why this place has a strong reputation for its waffles. However, the ordering experience leaves much to be desired. Despite the gourmet quality of the food, the process felt very much like a fast-food restaurant. The ordering system is quite impersonal, with a counter service setup that rushes you through your choices without much interaction. The ambiance lacks the cozy, welcoming feel youd expect from a place serving such high-quality waffles. Instead, the environment is more reminiscent of a fast-food chain, which detracts from the overall experience. In summary, Sweet Belgian delivers fantastic waffles that are worth every bite, but the ordering experience feels too much like a fast-food joint. If you can overlook the rushed and impersonal service, the waffles themselves make it worth a visit.

I ve been to brunch here with friends on a few occasions and it s always a pleasure. There s many options to pick from for breakfast or lunch, and their drink menu is expansive! The price is on par with many brunch spots in Freddy, but the quality is impeccable making it a standout (plus their hollandaise is to die for if you like something on the richer side)! Their FOH staff are wonderfully helpful and the service is quick, making Sweet Belgian Desire a go-to for my friends and I, as they also do their best to accommodate our group (~4-8 people).

This use to be my favourite place. I have been a client since the days they were down on Charlotte. But the bizarre setup where there is congestion in the entry way with the menu that you have to order before seating and you can t see if the restaurant is full or not because the menu blocks it out is the most bizarre concept I have ever seen. If they had a wider entry way it would work but does not accommodate more than 6 people and there is usually 10-15 people. Not sure how this works in the winter. I use to come here weekly before the pandemic and a handful of times since 2020 but honestly I can t be bothered to wait just to be told there is a 30 minute + wait when before I could just look in the restaurant and make a quick judgement call. Now you have to wait to get through the lineup. Order. And then told the wait.

Food good but don t like having to pay AND tip before you are even seated. I ordered an extra egg but they inadvertently didn t put on my order. They later came to me and said I wasn t charged for the extra egg and if I want the extra egg, I owe them $2.50 (as I already paid). I decided to forget the egg. Not the best customer service.

Stopped in today for breakfast. My girlfriend specifically asked for gluten free waffles and the toast on a separate plate as to not touch her food and somebody else could eat it. Not only did she get served normal waffles because they didn t ring it in properly but they put the toast directly on top of the rest of her food. And after all of this informed us that we have to pay the difference for the gluten free waffles from their screw up.

On top of this, Sweet Belgian Desire was fast to adopt smart and effective covid policies that make dining here safe AND expedient. Be sure to get breakfast here.

This was the best breakfast meal Ive ever had. Everything was perfect! The best part was our server, Leo. At first, I was a bit taken aback by how young he looked, but I was soon impressed by how well he did his job. He knew the menu inside and out. He offered to have my scrambled eggs made with milk and even suggested coffee when I had forgotten to order it. He anticipated our every need.

Portions were a little small. I ordered typical breakfast eggs hash browns and toast.

Others with me had waffles and eggs Benny and enjoyed that. Plus were the big mugs for coffee and tea@

I have gone to this restaurant for over 6 years. I visited about a year ago, and I couldn t drink my coffee as it tasted like Maxwell House. I figured it must have been an off day at the restaurant, as I expect high end coffee from a restaurant known for Belgian waffles, delicious and beautiful food. The last time I visited, I asked prior ordering what coffee they brew and I was advised Maxwell House, the cheapest coffee I can find in the stores. Very disappointed to say no to coffee with my breakfast. The service was not what it has been known for Needing to order and pay for your meal prior to the service being rendered? Am I at a fast food restaurant now? I like to be seated, take my time while seated to order the food at my own pace without a lineup waiting at the door. I always give a second chance, but after being served the cheapest coffee, having to order and pay like a fast food restaurant and the food being okay, I unfortunately will not return. If the coffee can become delicious again, and the service can be rendered at the table, only then may I consider returning.

It seems to me that this place is pass its glory days. I have read good reviews, but our experience was mediocre. They only offer half service, which is not ideal. I have asked for fresh orange juice and California Benny. I got a small glass of the Tropicana juice, not freshly squeezed (for $6.5.....) so that was a bit of a disappointment. My poached egg was slightly overcooked and hollandaise sauce was not exactly to my taste. But some people might find it OK?....?

First, I was greeted by the friendliest staff. They have a quick service set up so I was able to order within 5 minutes of arriving and my drinks were at my table less than 5 minutes later.

Sorry. They have a terrible policy whereby you order and pay before even being seated. We had a large party, so it led to lots of confusion. If youre paying by debit, this means youre prompted for a tip before you receive any service at all. Theyve received other reviews here complaining about their backward policy and have responded by essentially saying, If it aint broke, why fix it?. Its broke.

One of the best brunch places in Fredericton. The menu is too good to select from and the Staff are always very welcoming.

December 22, 2023

I am so unbelievably appalled by the service today. Me and 3 of my friends ordered food for take out. Their pricing online is in no way shape or form accurate. Every single price have increased by $3 for EACH THING. To upgrade fries to a poutine is $6.99 to add onions to a sandwich was $2.99. A meal I though was going to be $19 is now $30 due to the price changes! No mention of price increases. No mention of extra charge for onions (which see photos their chicken panini is pathetic the amount of bacon and onions are something to be ashamed of) The extra 6.99 charge for a poutine to get all of 4 cheese curds and a dollop of gravy. Then when I call all I am told is there has been a price increase and it s not updated online yet. They took my name and number for a call back but what we thought was going to be a $67.78 bill taxes included was instead just shy of $100 that is absolutely and utterly NOT ACCEPTABLE. The food tastes ok but honestly never in a million years will I return with those prices that s just insanity.

The food was absolutely delicious, probably the best food Ive ever had at a restaurant. Everything was perfectly cooked. I ordered The Dream. Bacon was thick and cooked firm (not crispy or rubbery). Poached eggs (medium) were exact, hollandais was delicious and flavourful. And the cookie was the best cookie Ive ever had. Came to $25 with drink and tip. Absolutely an amazing place! Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is on the left side, and is fully accessible. Due to the steep parking-lot, Id recommend mobility-reduced people park behind the building up top, instead of infront of the building down low.

I always used to love going here until covid. My partner and I used to frequent it as it had a great selection for my diet and restrictions. It was so relaxing and inviting. Now we find it less inviting. When you arrive you must order and pay before being seated. It makes you feel rushed and well I also like seeing how my service is deciding how much of a tip I am leaving. The food, well I had a GF Nutella waffle, it had a strong feeling taste of egg, which just was not that enjoyable, the bacon however was perfectly cooked. The specialty coffee was amazing as always and service was just ok. ( super friendly staff upon arrival.) My partner had a basic breakfast which he enjoyed.

Tried this restaurant for the first time on a very very busy Sunday after church. It was packed and there was a line up. Good indicator of what to expect. Very friendly wait staff and in spite of the crowd a table for 2 was ready in about 5 minutes. Service was quick and efficient and ambience was good. Food came quickly considering the crowd and was hot and delicious. The wait staff kept apologizing for the delays..this was not necessary. Nice selection on the menu. Oh, BTW.. you order at the counter before seating and pay , this was a bit of a surprise and seemed confusing to the couple behind us who couldnt understand why they took our order first as we had stepped off to the side to make space.. oh well.. live and learn

Wanted to try here but didn t get a chance too, we walked in, and the server told us it was going to be awhile, which I was okay with that. 15 minutes go by and someone else was walking in, the girl asked me if it was a long wait? I told her that s what the Waitress told me so they left, then the server said in a rude voice did you just tell those people that it was going to be a long wait? I replied that s what you told us when we walked in! She just grunted, said things under her breath and walked away. So that set me the wrong way and left!! Why get mad at me if you re the one that told us that were going to be waiting a long time to get a table? edit: I didn t tell Multiple people! It was group of 3 that walked in, she asked me, I told her what the sever told me! If you had multiple tables,then why were we just standing in the entrance for 15 minutes and said it was going to be awhile?

They have a weird process to order for a dine in restaurant: you look at the menu on the wall, order, pay and tip before you are seated. Where you place your order is a little way from the menu so you have to remember what you are ordering. We were ordering for us and kids so there was a lot to remember. We all felt rushed because there were people waiting behind us to come in. If we were seated with a menu, I think I would have ordered something different than a regular breakfast. Staff were friendly and nice. Food tasted good. It was quick to be served and was hot. Only reason for the 3 star and not a 4 star is the ordering process. We did not like it.

Having been to Belgium, we are very far from it here. Unfortunately, they dont bring the Belgian touch that I was looking for. The eggs were way overcooked, the toasts were cold and not buttered...in short, it was a BIG disappointment for us. The staff were welcoming and smiling. Please note that you have to order and pay before you even sit down which reduces the decision time you have upon arrival, I didnt like the ordering method...at all. I wonder about the veracity of the opinions because what I have observed is the complete opposite of our experience. Definitely, we will not return there. -------------------------------------------- Having been in Belgium, we are very far from it here. Unfortunately, they dont bring the Belgian touch I was looking for. The eggs were way overcooked, the toasts were cold and not buttered...in short, it was a BIG disappointment for us. The staff was welcoming and smiling. Note that you must order and pay before you even sit down which reduces the decision time that you have on arrival, I did not like the order taking method ... at all. I wonder about the veracity of the reviews because what I have seen is the complete opposite of our experience. Definitely, we wont be going back.

Food is delicious; I ve tried the waffles (5/5), and 2 different egg-based breakfasts. Food tastes great, with no complaints. Waffles are very soft, not like I hav made with a grill machine. Coffee tastes super, and you get a chocolate treat on your saucer- a nice touch! The only thing I would change about this place is ambiance and process. Currently, patrons must pay in advance for meals, and tip is suggested on the electronic machine, but, patrons can skip that, and tip after the meal. The ambiance seems bleak, could use some warm vibes and smiling faces walking around , but the setup doesn t really allow for that now, due to their COVID-19 protective dividers. Highly recommend trying their food! Recipes are so tasty!

Very nice place to have breakfast. My favourite dish is the benedict eggs with ham on a waffle. The hollandaise sauce is very tasty. They have good coffee and for dessert, we had strawberry waffles, so yummy. They also have soup and sandwiches. Thank you!

I enjoyed a smoked Salmon benedict with small potatoes on the side, everything was great. Cute and cozy spot. First time I try quick dining where you pay for your plate and drinks upfront and leave when you want to. I would recommend trying this place out. Parking: Decent amount of parking 10+ cars (during winter) Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp leading up to the front door.

The breakfast was ok, the staff was really nice. But theyre coffee was really bitter, 3 sugar packs didnt even sweeten it up at all. Lol. Edit: I definitely understand you cant please everyone, it was my first time in so I will try a specialty coffee next time. Thanks for the reply.

December 22, 2021

This was my worst experience ever !!! First, they write everywhere that you have to go immediately after eating ... Then you have to choose and order at the front desk with some very unpleasant and rushing employees ... And finally, they ask their money before you sit !! And the tip for sure, a tip for what kind of service exactly ??????? You are definitely not welcomed in this place !!

December 22, 2021

Never seen a restaurant this badly organized Everything feels rushed, the personel is stressed out and is trying to rush you out asap. The line and the ordering process felt so uncomfortable that we left before receiving our order. All of it is done using Covid reglementation as an excuse, but I have been in many other restaurants (even smaller ones) where how the client was welcomed still mattered I understand wanting to catch up on all your losses during a complexe period, and I m always very eager to support local businesses, but let s not forget that you go to the restaurant to enjoy your meal and not to increase your anxiety !

Food wasnt great. Coffee wasnt great. My eggs were burnt on the bottom, and my toast was just straight up untoasted bread. The waffles were soggy, but they at least had some flavor with syrup. Bacon was amazing. Service was good, but I dont like how you pay first then go sit down. We didnt get quality checked after we received our food, so I wasnt able to ask for a remake on anything.

Definitely some excellent food! It goes for a more European style, but suffers a bit from an inability to fully adopt the European style. Theres a discomfort to ordering upfront and tipping before you sit down and get your food. The American tip-bassd model messes up the feel and flow of the restaurant, and ends up leaving customer service behind.

The staff are very kind and generous. The food here is very sweet, like in the name! A minimum of 800 calories comes on each plate, and it is delicious. Not recommended if you are on a diet, though. Seating is not very comfortable, but the restaurant is very safe and protected when it comes to COVID-19. The only food I have not liked here is the Worcestershire sauce (which itself is not really a food) - it is hard to do properly, and Sweet Belgian Desire admits it with what they make.

The method of ordering is unique, with a big menu on the wall at the counter as soon as you arrive, and up-front payment. Having worked in hospitality, I tend to tip well (unless some egregious stuff has gone down), but I hate to think how tips are impacted for servers, with patrons having to decide how the service was *before* theyve received it. I had The Dream and it was soooo good. Their hollandaise sauce is other-worldly! Mexicano specialty coffee is also super-delicious! So glad theyre doing dine-in again, as theyd switched to drive-thru only last time Id come here over a year ago. A great local spot!
