A month or so ago I was watching "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" on Food Network and saw a piece about red velvet waffles at The Waffle in Los Angeles. Not only did I take note, as I was heading to LA at least 3 of my friends told me to please try them while I was in LA. No need to ask me twice!

The Waffle is a family (and according to their website) pet friendly little gem decorated in a 60's style decor. They have a wide variety of comfort classics like tuna melts and mac n' cheese. Their namesake and specialty is waffles.

The Waffle features 10+ breakfast waffles such as smoked salmon, sticky bun and more traditional flavors like blueberry lemon. Waffles are also used as bread for sandwiches-like egg or meatloaf.

I ordered the famous Red Velvet's and was NOT disappointed. The outside was crisp, the inside was light and fluffy-exactly perfectly cooked. The flavor was a perfect red velvet-light chocolate, mild tang. The topping was a diabetic shock inducing amount of cream cheese icing. It was tasty and it melted over the hot waffles. It was also too much icing. It made the waffles a bit soggy for me, and if (when) I get to do it all again I will ask for either half the amount or icing on the side. It did not slow me down though! I ate the lot of it. The Red Velvet like most of the breakfast waffles was $10.50. The other meals at our table were a kids waffle/egg/bacon combo that was cute-petite little waffle with sprinkles and 1 scrambled egg and bacon-$6.50, and a ham and egg breakfast for my husband. He thought it was fine but feels he should not have branched out from the waffles-thought it was a little in need of seasoning-the potatoes specifically.

Our meal was $30 plus tax/tip. The service was great, parking was on the street and plentiful when we were there at 10am on a Friday. I doubt I would go for anything other than waffles but I would certainly go back for waffles any time!
