Why it's worth checking out
Waffle & Coffee sits on Leigh Street in the heart of the Adelaide CBD, in one of the city's lively dining laneways. A much-loved cafe specialising in waffles and coffee, it's become a genuine favourite — combining quality coffee with delicious sweet and savoury waffles in a fun, welcoming laneway setting, the kind of characterful spot that brightens a coffee stop.
The appeal is that combination of good coffee and tasty, indulgent waffles in a lively, central laneway location, perfect for a treat, a casual breakfast or brunch, or a sweet pick-me-up while in the city. A spot that's nailed a fun, distinctive offering like waffles really stands out, and Waffle & Coffee has clearly won over a loyal following on Leigh Street.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 530 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The menu, waffle options, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular laneway cafe gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a good coffee and a delicious waffle, it's often just a matter of dropping in on Leigh Street and seeing why it's so well rated in central Adelaide.
