Sweet vs. Savory Waffles: The Ultimate Showdown
Waffles are a breakfast (or anytime) favorite, but one big debate always lingers—sweet or savory? Whether you’re a syrup-lover or a fan of crispy bacon toppings, there’s no denying that waffles offer endless possibilities. Let’s break down the differences, popular toppings, and which one might be right for your next meal.
The Classic: Sweet Waffles
Sweet waffles have long been a staple of brunch menus, often covered in syrups and other things sweet. The Liege waffles are made with a yeast dough containing pearl sugar, giving them a sweetness before any toppings are added.
Popular Sweet Waffle Toppings:
Classic Cinnamon & Honey – A timeless choice, like our OG
Chocolate Chips & Chocolate Sauce – A dream for chocoholics like our Chip Chip Hooray.
Brown Sugar & Cream Cheese – Warm flavors that feel like a hug like our Swirly Sin
Why Choose Sweet Waffles?
If you have a sweet tooth or love a traditional breakfast feel, sweet waffles are the way to go. They’re also great as a dessert.
The Trendsetter: Savory Waffles
Savory waffles take things in a completely different direction. These waffles serve as a perfect base for hearty, flavor-packed toppings.
Popular Savory Waffle Toppings:
Fried Chicken & Hot Honey – A Southern classic with a sweet-spicy twist, like our Stinger
Bacon, Egg & Cheese – The ultimate breakfast sandwich alternative, like our BFF
Cheddar & Swiss – A simple yet satisfying choice. Like our That’s What Cheese said
Why Choose Savory Waffles?
If you love bold flavors and a heartier meal, savory waffles are a fantastic option. They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner!
Which One Wins?
The real answer? It depends on your mood! If you're craving something indulgent and comforting, a sweet waffle is the way to go. But if you want something filling with a little more complexity, a savory waffle might be the winner.
