At Sharpfle Waffle, we're all about blending the savory and sweet with our Korean-style croissant waffles and handcrafted specialty coffee. Our passion is to deliver a unique culinary experience, where quality meets innovation, all served with a side of exceptional customer service.
The waffles are made of croissants and it is delicious! It feels like homemade confort food, with not too much sugar but just enough. Their drinks are also really good et the place is cozy even if small. They have as much sugar options as savoury options, the best of both worlds.
Everything on the menu is so delicious!! Sharpfle is my go to spot to bring visitors or have coffee with friends. I enjoy their savoury waffles and the caramel latte the best! If you’re lucky enough to be around when they have pop-up suppers do not pass on this opportunity. The best food and coffee in Ottawa by far.
Probably the best and only SMASHED CROISSANTS in town. That's right people, you read correctly, it is not waffles but croissants. What's next? Smashed cakes disguised as pancakes? That being said, their deserts are good, the vibe is nice, and the employees are friendly.
Amazing brunch spot! I highly recommend getting their soup. Their coffee is super delicious. Space is small so you may have to take your food to go or wait for a table
I went in the afternoon with a friend and was warmly greeted with a friendly smile by the server. The cozy atmosphere was enhanced by soothing jazz music playing in the background. I ordered the Hojicha latte, beautifully adorned with latte art, and had the turkey avocado waffle and the lotus with salted caramel. Both dishes were excellent. Definitely returning again!
The waffles are great! The right amount of crispy and soft. We also had a Nutella latte and it was very delicious
The food was amazing. And the coffee was good. Aesthetically the food was pleasing. The savoury ones were delicious. The place was small so on the weekends might get crowded.
Such a cute place. Cozy and quaint the ones behind the counter were friendly and prompt to serve us. Tried one savory and one sweet sharpfle, and both were delicious. Had the turkey melt and lotus varieties and can't wait to try more.
Best waffles in town and they really really care about the quality and ingredients
Vegetarian options: Tofu salad Food
Best breakfast in Ottawa!
What an amazing hidden gem. The food is amazing it was a pop up menu but no regret. It s worth the wait.
shartle waffle more like crapple waffle
Great place, great food and very nice service
The food here is delicious!! I got the Waffle Quesadilla with Beef & Nutella Banana Croissant Waffle. Would 1000000% recommend coming here and trying it. Can t wait to come back!!
Coffee shop near the chapel. The store is small and warm. The little brother speaks Chinese. very nice! The food is exquisite and delicious. The sesame waffles are delicious.
The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing! By far the best sandwich Ive ever had!
Excellent sweet and savory waffles
Delicious Vegetarian options: Vegan options - cacio e pepe croffle was good Food : 5/5 |
Delicious 10/10!
First time trying croissant waffle above expectations. Will be back
Tried corn and cheese, so good!
Nice discovery , we shapfully recommend
Absolutely scrumptious! Both coffee and food
I have never been someone really interested in fusion food, I did not know this place had this sort of twist on some foods. I was extremely surprised at how good the food was. When ordering, you can see the chefs in the back meticulously hand crafting your plate. The server then comes to the table and places your food and cutlery, a very nice pleasant serving experience. The sandwich was not only great but it was extremely tasty and it was flavorful. Me and my partner could not stop but smile every bite we took from the sandwich. The waffle was made perfectly for a sandwich; not too sweet, not too soft, not too crispy. The handcrafted sauce inside was also tasty. The whole place inside including the kitchen is brand new in all matte black and its extremely clean. It is very modern and pleasant, although small and not alot of place to sit if busy. I would definitely recommend trying this place, it was a hugely pleasant surprise.
Food is unreal and service was great and super fast. If I lived in Ottawa Id eat here weekly.
Small, pretty restaurant in the middle of a residential area. I have never tasted such creative and delicious waffles. The pumpkin soup with the menu was also a delight, and the caramel latte was delicious. I would give 10 stars if I could And the service, so nice, accommodating and polite. Unfortunately we were only in Ottawa for 1 night, otherwise I would have become a regular customer. Thank you very much and keep it up
Little place with a great vibe and delicious waffles. Their banana-nutella waffle was out of this world!
Update! Pasta nights from amazing chef. Will be back to try entire menu. Food
This place doesn t have waffles, it puts croissants dough in the waffle machine, doesn t taste as good honestly, bit pricey too, the atmosphere is good tho, p.s: avoid the coffee at all costs!
the souo and the waffles are very delicious !!!
Came here and tried their cacio e pepe waffle. I didnt realize it was going to be a waffled croissant until it was infront of me. The waffle-croissant was tasty and well made, but the price for essentially a grilled cheese on a croissant waffle seemed quite steep especially since it didnt come with any sides or anything. It was good for the value for money prospect seemed a little lacking.
Waffles were fantastic. However they dont customize. We asked for strawberries instead of bananas on the nuttela waffle but they said they could not do that. This would make sense if they didnt offer a strawberry waffle already. Other then that the chairs are unconformable and the seating is minimal, but the food was great.
It wasn t bad.. cute little place. But lots of wasps/ bee s so it was uncomfortable to enjoy the food.
All the menu items slap, very kind service and the best coffee you can buy. The coffee in itself makes this place worth a visit
Excellent food and presentation.
Kid-friendliness: Kids love it Food
the iced matcha latte i had was disgusting, it didn t taste anything like matcha. but the croffle i had was AMAZING! I did end up getting another drink just before i left which was the hibiscus berry ade was so goood.
D e l i c i ou s Both sweet and savoury are great. Their coffee is pretty good as well.
Best waffle I ve ever had!
Amazing unique gem tucked away in wellington village! Theyve managed to carve out a niche in Westboro/Wellington Villages competitive food scene and they deserve all the rave reviews. I have always left Sharpfle so satisfied with whatever Ive ordered - whether thats any of their delicious croffles or their salad (totally underrated and very filling). I highly recommend the hojicha latte - Id drink litres of it if I could
Delicious and relatively quick service. Very limited indoor seating.
That was amazing! Got the egg salad waffle, explosion of flavor and texture. My first time there, you have to try it for your self.
Amazing place. Very clean. Friendly staff.
yummy food
Where has this been all of my life? I dream of getting more sweet treats here!
Decent waffle desert....
Very cozy spot, loved the moody lighting and the staff were fantastic. Apparently they recently started serving dinner, and I had some of the pasta and it was comparable to some of the authentic Italian restaurants Ive visited. Huge recommendation, such a great place.
This is a unique, fresh fast food restaurant with character. I visited a half-hour before closing on a Monday and ordered the charred corn and cheese waffle, sweet potato soup and a hibiscus mango ade. All three items were served beautifully within seven minutes while the server also attended to a large group of guests who had arrived earlier. The food and beverage were perfect. I look forward to coming back very soon for lunch.
Best waffle I ve ever had
Simply Amazing!! Best waffle ever!! Thank you!!
Amazing. Best I ve ever had!
The food is so enjoyable here and it looks exactly like the menu. really fast service with a nice and relaxing atmosphere which is so enjoyable for a breakfast and prices are well stated for the food being served
Great food at a great price
Wonderful food fantastic taste and service
One of my favourite places in the city. The food and service is always great. Also the best matcha lattes in Ottawa! Food
My favourite hidden gem in town! The quality of food far exceedes expectations, and is made with passion and care. Im pretty sure the soup is made with magic. I drink their coffee several times a week, and its always consistent and delicious. A++
Best coffee in Ottawa, and the croffles are to die for. I went 3 times in 2 weeks! A bit addictive! :) Both locations are great, friendly service. Nice and cozy atmosphere, reminds me of some cafes in Japan. Great choice of music, love the coffee bar jazz :) Highly recommended.
I saw the wonderful reviews on this eatery when I was looking for places to to try during my visit to Ottawa. Honestly, the food and drinks were lovely! I loved that the croffle was warm and soft, and not too sweet. My favourite part of the dessert was the cream though. It was perfect! Despite how wonderful the food and drinks were, I did not have a such a pleasant experience with service. It took took a little while after the previous person was served for someone to take my order. The guy at the cash just stood there and didnt bother to ask me for order. He later signalled for another person behind the cash to serve me which felt unusual. It didnt bother me much until the another customer came in and was served immediately by the original guy at the register. Although I enjoyed the treats, this experience has deterred me from visiting again or recommending to friends and family.
So glad I finally tried this place. Food is unique and delicious. Relaxing and cozy atmosphere. I will definitely be returning again and again!
Worth the hype
Such a cute little shop with super friendly staff. The food is SO good! We tried almost one of everything and it was all delicious!! Definitely will be back next time I m in Ottawa
We stopped in for some brunch and the food was delicious and filling. The staff were so friendly and the restaurant was clean and organized, we will definitely be back the next time we are in ottawa!
best coffee ive ever had and the waffles are just unreal
Great restaurant! One of my favorite.
Best coffee in Ottawa, period! High quality products and service. Great staff that is always very nice and serve the best drinks
Probably best latte I ve ever had! Vanilla and caramel syrup made in house, awesome!
Super friendly and nice staff. Very cute small joint perfect for brunch. There is limited seating but service is quick. We got the sweet potato soup with the avocado and ham sandwich and the charred corn and cheese as well. Good coffee and lattes as well!
It was a great tasty dessert and the service was outstanding in a cute little place in a quiet neighbor. Kudos!
Kids loved it! Good service and atmosphere;) Waffles look like art work;) Food
Ham and Cheese Waffle sandwich flavourful, well toasted with the right dressing. Walffles are delicious with their special whipped cream. Coffee brean very smooth. Highly recommended
The best waffle dish we have ever had! We ordered the beef and corn cheese waffle and it was so delicious, soup was also tasty. Service was good and very fast friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Dropped by here to grab a afternoon dessert. The craffles were light and flaky. Flavors were on point and the drinks were refreshing. We got the Lotus & salted caramel, cinnamon sugar, americano and hojicha latte. Staff there were super sweet.
Cannot recommend this place enough. The food is unique and everything I ve tried here has become a new favourite. The staff is incredibly kind & welcoming and the overall atmosphere is lovely
Easy 5 stars, nothing to improve. I love the ham, cheese and avocado sandwich with a soup.
Flatwhite is York St.
such yummy waffles and all of the drinks!!
Flavors are very good.
Original and exquisite waffles! One of the best dishes I ate during my visit to Canada. A somewhat limited menu but with very interesting choices.
Best and very unique brunch place in Ottawa! We had the Cacio & Pepe waffle and lotus caramel waffle
If you are looking for a dessert spot thats delicious to kill a sweet tooth craving but not break the bank, this is the place.
I try a new one every time and it s always delicious!
1st croffle-yum 2nd croffle-I need a third one 3rd croffle-excuse me, can I have another order of avocado,ham croffle? 4-the Nutella latte taste way better than all coffee stores I ve been to. Thank you for tuning in to my google review talk
Got the cheese avocado sandwich and it was delicious. Wanted to order some croissant waffles, but they required 24h advance notice. Docked 1 star because I placed the order 25 mins in advance for pick up, but when I got there, still had to wait another 10 mins. I think they just forgot to make it. Only annoyed because I was in a rush hence why I placed the order in advance..
Our favorite croffle place is back Best bites and drinks, love the attention to detail and the quality. Please support this local gem!
2024 update: Went for the second time and everything still tastes amazing. The egg salad sandwich was even better than the ham and avocado sandwich. Matcha latte still slaps. Service was super friendly and attentive. Original review: Really cute little shop with delicious matcha latte. The ham and avocado sandwich was also really yummy, with a nice kick of mustard. The strawberry waffle was also delicious. Highly recommend.
Food was really tasty, vibe was really great. Quick service.
Very good biscoff
This is hands down one of the best breakfast spots in the area!
OMG!!! What a delightful little place. Theee best cappuccino I have ever had and my son absolutely enjoyed his Nutella hot coffee. The ham,cheese and avocado waffle was nice. And lets talk about the texture of that waffle, so flaky and delicious. The service was also excellent. Kid-friendliness: The hot chocolate Nutella was nice. If your child doesnt like sesame seeds, maybe let them leave it off of the sesame croissant that comes with whipped cream.
Best-tasting Korean-style sweet croffles with great coffee! The cinnamon & sugar croffle with an iced americano was the perfect sweet delight for breakfast. I was surprised by the quality of their coffee perfect balance of acidity and nuttiness, very well-rounded coffee. (I would come back just for their coffee, although why would I ever skip a good croffle.) Their yuzu lemonade was flavourful, and the butterfly iced tea was refreshing and pleasing to eye as well. Not sure if it can get any better than this, but I will be back to try their savoury croffles next time!
The waffles are delicious you can choose savoury or sweet waffles we loved the ambiance and the food a lot
Its a cute little shop and the waffles are delicious.
Such a lovely authentic place Food
I heard about Sharpfle Waffle from my friend Kate, co-owner of the Morning Owl-Parkdale. I was intrigued by the ideal of a waffle made with croissant batter. So today I was joined by a good friend Michele to have brunch. We arrived at 1:00. I had an Americano and Michele had a Fruity Ice Tea. I ordered the Strawberry Shortcake and Michele ordered the Sweet Potato Soup with Croissant Waffle. My waffle was amazing, so light and fluffy topped with thinly sliced strawberries. it was so delicious. Michele loved her soup and offered me a taste and I was so impressed I ordered it to go for my diner tonight. I will definitely be going back to taste other items on their menu. Parking: same street parking
All in all a wonderful experience ! The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Sharing their love for waffles and Korean inspired menu items like the Croffle. (I have yet to try it, but I heard it was delicious). Their butterfly iced tea is delicious and should be on your to-try list :D A good place for a respite, or to catch up with a friend with a good drink ^_^ Vegetarian options: Plant-based milk option available, such as almond, oat & soy.
Its a must-see when I visit Ottawa.
Hidden gem that ticks all the boxes! It s like a croissant and a waffle had a baby. You will not be disappointed.
The waffles are good, the coffee is amazing, and the service is great.
so cozy here the staff are so welcoming~ def the best matcha and hojicha latte in the city
Everything about this place is a 12/10!! They have the best customer service as well as food and drinks! Cant go wrong with any item on the menu. Can t stop raving about this place!!
Cute little shop with limited but good options.
Food done by chefs. Not your typical QSR
My colleagues and I eat here regularly and have always been beyond satisfied. Service, food and quality are spot on. Staff remembers us each time, and are always so friendly. You can see the pride they put in to each ingredient. Highly recommend!
What a charming little spot! Wonderful place for a light lunch and /or coffee and sweet waffle. We had coffee, tea and a sweet waffle but will return for lunch and a sweet next time!
Yum!
Service and atmosphere are great but would not recommend it for waffles. They give you croissant instead of waffles. Although the Nutella and cream tasted great.
We got their lattes and lotus/caramel waffle and thought everything was delicious. The workers were also very friendly. I will definitely be visiting again.
The quesadilla croffle was excellent - and so was the Nutella croissant waffle!
The best waffles my family and I had ever had! A real gem in Ottawa. The coffee is great, the good is amazing and the staff is lovely.
The best that you can imagine!
Best waffles in town. World!!!
Best waffles I ve eaten! Was definitely worth the trip
I was lucky to go before they closed down. :( Delicious waffles and the owner is very kind when he came to check on us. The latte was perfectly made. I hope they reopen another location because its hard finding a cafe with specialty asian flavour inspired drinks that are actually good. I wish I could have tried all their drinks and waffles
I hope there will be a new location because this place makes delicious waffles and coffee! High quality fresh ingredients, great staff!
Congrats on your new location. I look forward to go back!
Delicious
Absolutely delicious, small portions yet very filling and satisfying breakfast/lunch. The lattes are amazing both hot and cold, the staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is top notch; cutest coffee shop Ive been to in Ottawa! Well definitely be coming back regularly!
Amazing food, coffee, and service. Love supporting and will keep coming back
Great latte - way better than Starbucks. Didnt try any of the food but it all looked very good too. Food
Excellent coffee and crispy flakey waffles.
Was our first time at the new location or trying sharpfle waffle. Definitely won t be our last. Amazing service employees are super kind. If you haven t been in to check them out I strongly suggest you stop in and check it out.
What to say about these folks! Amazing! I live down the street from their new location on Hinchey Ave, and I was excited to see the space filled in by them. Id never tried their food when they were located on Hintonburg, but wow--Im so glad I have now. They are so kind and make the best waffles. So far Ive tried the turkey-avocado and the corn; both were amazing. Their coffee is delicious too! Last time, they accidentally made the wrong waffle for me, and even though I was okay with it, they made me a free sparkling tea drink (also amazing). The guys behind the desk are also fun to chat too and the atmosphere is really cute. Love this! Definitely recommend for a brunch!
Small pop-up , but in a previous little cafe location. Food was interesting take on egg salad sandwich and ham and cheese prepared with their signature croissant waffles. Flavours and quality were top notch. The staff were attentive and pleasant.
Great little cafe. Only a few seats inside and some outdoor patio seating. The biscoff cookie waffle was amazing. Light and crispy. The iced vanilla latte was fabulous too, not too sweet. Service was top notch.
Sharpfle Waffle is an awesome place to go to meet with friends. We recently had our nonprofit organization meeting. The atmosphere is perfect for conversation and productive work. Stuff were pleasant. The drinks were great. The food was delicious. Over an excellent experience. We are lucky to have restaurants like this in Ottawa.
Delicious sandwich, high quality espresso, friendly team !
Excellent food! If you love croissant, or if you love Waffle, you absolutely need to try that.
Cute spot, love the waffles. Prices are reasonable. Only wish they allowed real dishes on the patio. Vegetarian options: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
Love it
So delicious
Had the iced latté and it tasted great! Love the new location with the cute little patio. The staff was very friendly too. I also got the chance to taste the strawberry shortcake waffle at the old location and I loved it.
Place looks clean, somewhat resembling a small shop you would see in Japan with a modern twist on it. Server was nice, and food tasted and smelt good.
Awesome coffee
The Sesame dessert waffle was a 10/10. So ridiculously good and worth the trip!
They open at 10am, too late for breakfast or to be able to assess. Business is in Mechanicville and not Hintonburg as mentioned in a recent article.
This was such a lovely experience! Between us, our group tried the strawberry shortcake waffle, the salted caramel waffle and the sesame waffle (my personal favorite). There were savory waffles too, and this would be an option for a lunchtime visit. I also really enjoyed a butterfly iced tea which was different and refreshing. There wasnt a lot of seating, but it wasnt busy when we were there and was a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy our treat. The service was great, all around an excellent experience. Parking: Easy street parking nearby.
Coffee is some of the best in town. All the food Ive tried there has been great.
Great vibe and great food. In a calm neighborhood setting... was a perfect place for weekend breakfast.
Cant wait to go back!
I got the strawberry waffle and it was super delicious it s just the right amount of sweetness with the butterfly layers of the croissant waffle
Best option for breakfast waffle, recommend it
Yummy.
Food was really good! will 100% be going back!
Have been wanting to visit the place for a while. I am so glad I finally came. The food was so delicious and so were the drinks. I had brunch with a friend and we ordered a couple of things to try. We had the egg croffle and the new salad bowl with tofu and yuba and sweet potato. I ordered an oat matcha latte, which was rich, high quality and delicious. I also decided to try the lemonades and they were soo refreshing and nice. We also tried the strawberry croffle and it was so fresh, light and tasty. I cant wait to come back and try more goodies
Phenomenal food that would be worth it at twice the price. Coffee is superb. They know their stuff and are happy to talk about it!
Very nice place! The food likes artwork, not too sweet but so so so yummy!!! Recommend this treasure place!
Great! Small cozy, affordable, and not loud. Staff really friendly. Food : 5/5
Loved the jazz vibes and the turkey cheese avocado sandwich was DELICIOUS! The service was also very nice. Definitely coming back for lunch sometime.
Yum
Different but very good. Great coffee and would highly recommend
All I can say is I found a new regular spot for a good sweet tooth! Jay and the rest of the team have amazing customer service and are very kind. The quality of the waffles shows in its flavour! delicious food and a really cute atmosphere as well. Will be coming again!!!
The most delicious waffles I ve had in my life. Highly recommend the Nutella and strawberry shortcake. The staff is so sweet everytime we come love this place
Quality product! I love that they are locally owned and operated. Highly recommend Owners are fantastic, authentic and are committed to providing quality. Food
delicious food, nice ambience and friendly staff
Update: Went to their new location and even better than before! New items, lovely space, lovely service. Don t walk, run!! Love this place and so glad they found a new location!! Can t emphasize how good the food was. Still thinking about the turkey one. Honestly can t go wrong with any option as they are all great! I really appreciate places having non-pork options.
I had the classic croffle and it was so delicious I ordered another. The owner is extremely nice and welcoming. 10/10 local business.
Amazing food, coffee and service!
Really good croffles! We will definitely be back!
So tasty! Glad to have rediscovered them at their new location. Had the Ham, Avocado & Cheese waffle, along with the Charred Corn & Cheese waffle. Both were so delicious and taste so unique in a waffle. Ill be back!
We got the ham and cheese waffles and they tasted super delicious. Great coffee and atmosphere. Friendly staffs. Highly recommend this place!! Recommended dishes
If youre looking for fantastic waffles, look no further. This place is the best in its class. No peanuts, in case youre worried about allergies.
Very cozy place, the best coffee in my life
Always amazing coffee, and one of my favourite breakfast/treat spots
Incredible!! It was my first time trying sharpfle waffle after hearing so many good things. I ordered the ham, cheese, avocado sandwich and was amazed!! My matcha latte was made perfectly. Staff are super friendly and kind as well.
Delicious and creative food and space!
Super good waffles and ok atmosphere great service
Amazing food. Best waffles Ive ever tried and the staff was so friendly and accomodating. The place is small, but they have a really nice patio. A hidden gem for sure!
Yummy and quick!
The waffle and coffee were great but the soup was the greatest.
Great WAFFLE AND COFFEE! I highly recommend this store ever. All of the workers are kind and friendly.
Ordered the Ham, cheese, avocado sandwich and it was truly exceptional, they are working magic here and they really know what they are doing! Honestly its a must try. My coffee (Americano) was good too! Disclaimer: Ask them when ordering if you can have your coffee piping hot if thats how you like it! Otherwise itll likely be served warm, so you can drink it immediately.
Very tasty and clean place
Finally got to visit this wonderful cafe and it did not disappoint. Small with limited seating but made it much more intimate and cozy. I would recommend visiting on a weekday during off hours to ensure you have seating. We enjoyed the sweet potato soup, corn & cheese, quesadilla, Nutella banana and matcha latte. Everything tasted delicious and I cant wait to make my way back to try the rest.
Edit: I went back and the first thing I noticed was their waffle prices got very expensive. For example.. at the time of writing this, their egg waffle went up from 8 dollars to 12 dollars. The service from the baristas was a friendly experience and my vanilla latte was decent. I found it a little crammed despite this location technically being bigger than their previous location. Overall, I preferred their first opening location over this one. Original review: service was friendly. The egg waffle was delicious. To my surprise, the waffle had a croissant-like texture. I wasn t a big fan of the fried onions on the egg waffle but the cappuccino was a nice addition to my tasty sandwich. Gluten free options could be more varied. I m coming back.
Delicious little shop that opened up down the street from me. They have a few different options, both sweet and savoury. I tried the strawberry and cream and was blown away. The avocado sandwich (made with waffles) also looked super good. The lattes are to die for - I would recommend the vanilla latte with oat milk (yes, they have milk alternatives!) as it is probably the best thing I ve drank all year. Definitely try this place out if you haven t yet!
Had early dinner here tonight, what a treat! Place is warm and cozy. Had their special so we could taste everything; soup, waffle and Americano, all 3 were delicious! The soup was served hot and was so smooth, the waffle tender and toppings so very good and the Americano, very good.
Very happy that they have reopened right down the street from me! Have tried the egg salad, the corn cheese and the strawberry and all have been super tasty and the staff has always been friendly and accommodating. The space itself is small and the furniture doesnt really encourage lingering which I d guess might be by design since they are usually pretty busy.
