Ramon KOctober 22, 2011Yes, the service was sometimes slow, but they are cranking today during Head of the Charles weekend. From order to food in less than 5 minutes. Also, the best waffles in town. Like them a bit doughy!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Verônica MachadoSeptember 11, 2014I've been addicted to this place ,since it's opening. Awesome waffle with a super cool space for studying, chatting...Super great songs selection. The staff is amazing!!!- Ha DiemAugust 22, 2014Tons of toppings to choose from! I got the berries insanity and added bananas and nutella. It looks and tastes amazing!
Ally PikeOctober 18, 2013Excellent service and great espresso drinks - we shared both types of wafflels because we couldn't decide between chewy or crunchy - glad we did because they were good contrasts to each other!!
RJanuary 22, 2016Waffle with Nutella and strawberries on top is delicious. They also have excellent espresso drinks.
Soy KimJanuary 23, 2014Come during early afternoon on weekdays for a warm, delightful spot to work (free wi-fi!) as you enjoy delicious, authentic Belgian waffles and Nespresso coffee.
Now two kind of waffles: liège (from dough with Belgian pearl sugar) and Brussels (light and crispy). Both authentic Belgian waffles !
AngieApril 9, 2018“The Sin”, which includes bananas & Nutella on that glorious waffle, is everything! I went on a Sunday evening— it wasn’t that full & the service was pretty quick, too.
Maria MahdalyJune 11, 2015Light and crispy waffles with good friends and a cosy space... Perfect for a Sunday morning.
Ella B.January 16, 2012Absolutely delicious. Sure the service is a bit slow, but just order a mug of tea, sit back, and wait for a delicious thick waffle with fabulous chocolate and strawberries on top.
Mallory GonzalezNovember 17, 2015All of the waffles are amazing but the Gourmand is just sweet enough for a morning treat!
Boston PhoenixJanuary 18, 2012Service CAN be spotty because this homey waffle joint gets so hectic, but you can get your waflle to go. Worth it for the likes of their Oreo Freakin' Party waffle or Fruit Delight waffle. Read more- Sugair AlSugairJanuary 31, 2015Zinneken's has a good variety of waffle toppings. My favorite is the Belgian Chocolate Waffle.
Just.. Eat everything. So good. Fairly small inside but for a party of 2, you can almost always get a table if you hang around for 5 minutes.
Jackie de HaanJune 29, 2015The waffles are very good but the coffee/espresso drinks aren't quite as good. The Banana/Nutella waffle is amazing- Martin BroadhurstSeptember 15, 2014Light and crispy Belgian pancakes are excellent. I'd recommend the sin topping.
Fran Martin MartinezAugust 10, 2014Cute small and nice spot. Quite overpriced but it worth it for a relaxing coffee- Best time to go is during week days. Weekends are extremely busy !
Amanda Smash HydeAugust 31, 2014They were walking distance from my hotel so I thought I would check them out. The coffee was burnt, and the waffle actually made me sick. I have been ill all day before I have to get on to a flight :(
Natasha Pereira-KamathMarch 29, 2013Try the Speculous - it's amazing with Nutella on the liege waffle
SaadNovember 8, 2015Best waffle in the town .. Worse service in the town !! Expect to stand 10-15 minutes with no one on the line just for ordering !! They don't even apologize for being late!
Eileen ChamDecember 18, 2011My friend spent the whole day here just because they played music from a good radio station. Waffles are a little over-priced though.
Connie LuMay 1, 2012Although the place is small, it's cozy, serves warm waffles, and has free wi-fi!
Lew EnglandDecember 30, 2011Maple syrup-slow service, small portions. Tasty waffles, staff was nice. Our one and only trip
- Try the zinnekens waffle, the best combination of them all
Waffle with strawberries, speculous, and whipped cream. The best!!!
