Waffle Bar on Hillel Street, downtown Jerusalem, sits inconspicuously between shops and restaurants on this street. It is only when you go into the restaurant that you realize how large it is, Not only large, there are several levels, each wtih a seating area, allowing for privacy and ideal for private parties.
At Waffle Bar you will find a cheerfully designed interior with soft bright colors and a modern atmosphere that is both warm and intimate. There is outdoor seating at the entrance. Walk down a few steps to a level with a large table, ideal for birthday parties or a get together with friends. Go down yet another level to the main seating area.
There are soft couches and a variety of comfortable seating options throughout the restaurant. Bring your laptop. The restaurant offers free wi-fi and the comfort to enjoy it. This is a restaurant for all ages, for people who come to experience all that Waffle Bar has to offer.
Aside from the plethora of waffles and crepes available, Waffle Bar offers an impressive selection of main courses and "real" food. Their salads are presented very nicely and are accompanied by a foccacia and spread. I would recommend the stir-fry salad. Waffle Bar also offers an array of "laffa-toasts" These are grilled-cheese sandwiches with different fillings but toasted inside a laffa bread that is served on a salad bed. Their mushroom one is my favorite - but I cannot wait to try their laffa-toast with feta cheese and eggplant!
 In the mornings, Waffle Bar also offers a breakfast menu. Their pancakes are served on a special, compartmentalized platter that includes at least 4 different kinds of sauces, whipped cream, ice cream, and cut up fruits. They also offer traditional, Israeli breakfast options.
All the dishes we have tried from Waffle Bar on Emek have been well-presented and tasty. Their deserts are simply out of this world...
In keeping with its name, Waffle Bar offers approximately 20 different kinds of waffles. Toppings include different fruit, syrups, and ice cream combinations. In addition to the waffles, Waffle Bar offers sweet and salty crepes. We have not yet tried either type but look forward to trying them soon.
Beating all the other coffee shops AND ice-cream parlours on the street - we think that Waffle Bar has the best milkshakes! They also have a unique desert that integrates ice cream, cookies, and other fun toppings in a sundae glass. After filling up on their tasty main dishes, we have looked jealously at others' deserts and seen how much these deserts were enjoyed!
 The prices at Waffle Bar are reasonable with a typical main course in the mid-40 to mid-50 shekel range and the waffles all about 40 shekels, some more and some less expensive depending on the toppings.
We have been very satisfied from each visit to Waffle Bar and look forward to going back many more times in the future.
Waffle bar has options for private parties and catering.
