I’ve heard only good things about this plant-based waffle spot so was excited to try it. I ordered the La Gringa 2.0 and my waiter suggested I add vegan cheese to the base of my savoury waffle -best decision ever. It’s gluten-free and has black beans, guacamole, corn, salsa and spicy mayo. It was beyond delicious. I don’t know how I’m going to order anything else off the menu now. Highly recommended. Excellent service. Chilled vibe. Sit outside!

They didn't have decaf coffee, so I ended up ordering a chai latte which was really delicious. My first choice of pancakes was also out of stock, but my backup choice didn't disappoint. The waffles also look and taste incredible. You must go there whether you're vegan or not.

The turmeric u0026 ginger and beetroot lattes were exceptional! We shared a banana and maple syrup flapjack stack which was super tasty but way to rich for our liking.

The waffles looked amazing amazing! (Yes we were eyeing everyone else's food.)

The lattes were quick to arrive but the food took quite a while. Not a bad thing. Quality takes time.

The service was quite impersonal which dampened the experience for us. Also a peak into the kitchen while paying revealed quite a mess.

On a busy weekend I'd understand, but lunchtime Friday when it wasn't that busy?

Definitely given it a try though. It's a wonderfully unique experience plus it's plant-based. :)

Hands down the best waffles I've ever had!

Delicious vegan, gluten free waffles and flap jacks with dairy free toppings available. They went out of their way to ensure my chocolate sauce was free of nuts after I told them I have a nut allergy. The half portions were pretty filling. I will be back to try more off the menu!

A super beautiful and unpretentious space, awesome and quick service from friendly staff. Dog friendly. The soft serve was crazy good. Captain sweet was too sweet. Loaded with too much. Presentation is impressive but doesn't do the food any justice. The lemon poppy seed waffle was stodgy and floating in a lot of lemon-like sauce making it soggy. Strange after-taste. AMAZING coffee. Macadamia nut is the best tasting milk alternative. I had fun. Will order the half portions next time as it was huge.

Jessy's waffles is a great spot to enjoy some delicious waffles in a very nice and relaxed part of town.
The waffles (for the most part) were delicious, if a bit too sweet.
The lemon and poppy seed waffle was a bit too soggy and the balance between the lemon and poppy seed flavour is a bit off.
The fruit loops ice cream was also not my favourite but still tasty, nonetheless.
Servers aren't the most attentive or friendliest we've encountered, but this is no big deal, as the food more than made up for it.
It is also great that the establishment offers vegan options and serves good coffee, too!

There were quite a bit of flies flying about the dining area, but I wouldn't say this is detrimental to the establishment, as we all deal with flies in the summer time.

Overall, a spot worth your time.
