If you love waffles, a visit to this new cafe situated on a laneway in Stones Corner would be truly worth it. With its deliciously insane flavour combinations, Waho Cafe is a specialist waffle house that adds a dash of Korean flair to Brisbane’s bustling cafe culture.
Waho Cafe is the latest venture from Victor and Stephanie Chan of the popular Greenslopes phenomenon, The Jam Pantry.
Since taking over the cafe in 2020, the Chan team-up at The Jam Pantry has been winning over patrons with their ever-changing menu of batter-based creations. And in response to the overwhelming demand for its heavenly-tasting waffles, The Jam Pantry’s decided that it’s time to have a dedicated venue where all their beloved waffle variants will be made available for its devoted fans to enjoy.
Enter Waho Cafe.
Waho Cafe is located on the first floor of the Fifth Avenue Lifestyle studio and offers both indoor seating and outdoor dining. With 30 seats in total, the cafe provides an intimate atmosphere that complements its culinary offerings.
Ten different waffle variations, with sweet and savoury options, are offered on the short menu, all of which are created fresh daily and served with a variety of toppings.
If you have a hankering for sweet waffles, the Crème Brûlée waffles, served with lemon curd and topped with seasonal fruit, ice cream, and cashews would be an unforgettable choice.
For a more classic take, try their Chocolate waffles served with ice cream and topped with salted caramel sauce and marshmallows, with some of their house-made honeycomb. You can’t go wrong with French Toast waffles, served with corn flakes, ice cream, cashews, maple syrup.
As an alternative, the Chocolate Waffles come with a house-made honeycomb, salted caramel sauce, ice cream, and marshmallows. Also adding to the symphony of flavours are the Crème Brûlée waffles, which are topped with lemon curd, cashews, ice cream, and seasonal fruit.
Savoury flavour profiles can also give you a deliciously different breakfast waffle experience. The perfect combination of flavours can be found on Cheese & Spinach waffles with poached eggs, crispy bacon chips, shallots, and sour cream.
The Eggs Benedict waffles, meanwhile, are adorned with poached eggs, wilted spinach, and your choice of bacon, smoked salmon, or ham, all of which are covered in a rich lemon hollandaise sauce.
With bulgogi pulled pork, scrambled eggs, pickled ginger, fried shallots, and slaw, The Sunshine Waffle is definitely not your usual but is certainly delicious, just like everything else on the menu.
Waho Cafe offers a variety of beverages. Supreme Coffee is on the drip, its strong bitterness providing a great counterpoint to the waffles. T2 teas, hot chocolate, chai, matcha lattes, frappuccinos, and smoothies are all available too. Even the coldest or wettest winter days taste warm and summery because of their rich and creamy mango smoothie.
