Wally Waffle is a homegrown Akron breakfast and lunch spot at 845 W Market St, in the Highland Square stretch of West Market. Locals come for thick Belgian waffles in a long list of flavors and for diner classics cooked to order.
The restaurant describes its mission as serving “a fun, creative breakfast menu with a smile.” It says it avoids shortcuts and cooks every dish to order (source: Wally Waffle). Waffles anchor the menu, with sweet and savory specialty versions alongside a plain golden original. Diners who want something other than a waffle can order three-egg omelets, pancakes, egg plates and lunch sandwiches (source: Rover Pet Blog). The dining room is casual and kid-friendly, which suits families and groups splitting a sweet waffle and a savory plate. Wally Waffle also runs locations on Medina Road in the Fairlawn–Montrose area and in Tallmadge (sources: Wheree, Yelp).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Wally Waffle serves breakfast and lunch only, so plan a morning or midday visit. Weekend brunch hours draw the longest waits. Arrive soon after opening or come on a weekday for quicker seating. Because the chain’s lineup of locations has changed over the years, confirm current hours for the West Market St restaurant before you go (source: EatHealthy365). Takeout and delivery are available through DoorDash. After eating, walk off the syrup among the shops and cafés of Highland Square, a short drive from downtown Akron.
