The waffle was OK. It was bland and seemed under cooked. I had the berry waffle and they only had raspberries available. A group of 4 went there and they have one waffle maker. So the time the first person got their waffle, it was cold by the time the last person got their waffle. I admire that this place is a nonprofit supporting a worthwhile cause but expected the group to receive their waffles together and not one at a time. I may visit again but it will be quite awhile before I do.

I think the cart is a good idea and it supports a good cause. I’m not reviewing the cause or the people working there, I’m reviewing the food. I figured I’d have to be the bad guy because nobody wants to leave a bad review for something that stands for such a cause. The waffles were mediocre and quite bland and the wait, even though we were the only two people ordering, was pretty long. They seemed mushy and not quite done. There was also a mentally handicapped woman standing out front that kept yelling at us and another mentally handicapped woman sitting on the benches next to the cart that kept making really loud gagging noises right next to the cart.

If even half of the things touted by the folks of this lovely little cart manage to be true even a small percentage of the time, it’s a mighty big shot in the arm to have them in the neighborhood. What is obvious is that they take HS-age students under their wings and provide all-important job training and mentoring skills. Having gone to HS in No Po approximately 350 years ago, I assure you that no such outreach/apprenticeships existed back then. Would that they did! I hope this inspires at least a few of these kids to open carts of their very own, and one day hit the dirty-dirty big time, ala Voo-Doo, Pine State, et al… In the very least, you can count on friendly service and a lovely product whipped up fresh and piping hot. I had their BLC(bacon lettuce and Provolone cheese) sammy on Dave’s bread, and it was tasty and priced right. My workmate had their gouda waffle, which I tried and personally did not care for, but my workie seemed to like it just fine. God Bless Solar Waffle Works, and remember to bring your bull-horn to place your order, b/c the ubiquitous Tri-Met short buses sharing the same lot are always on idle and, as you might well imagine, are the very definition of noise pollution…

I’m writing this poor review because even though the schedule said open till 2:30, I show up at 11, lights are on, but nobody was in the cart. There was 2 people on the picnic bench next to it… I wait at the window for 5+ minutes waiting for someone to come back, thinking they might be using the restroom or something. Finally the girl that was sitting at the picnic table proceeds to tell me that she is closed for the night… SERIOUSLY? I just waited, in front of her eyes for a long freakin time before she decides to stop pumping up her inflatable boat and tell me she is closed, way before the said closing time… LAME. I don’t know how businesses stay open with such lazy mentalities like this… I’ve had the waffles before, and they are good, but theres better out there, and after that experience I can go elsewhere for my waffle needs.

We ordered one of their solar powered waffles with bacon. It was delicious. I shared it with my 5 year old son who loved it as well. The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is that the amount of bacon on the waffle was not as generous as I might have hoped — still this is a great place to enjoy a waffle!

I heart waffles. I especially heart when I don’t have to have them for breakfast. I was checking out Last Thursday for the first time in a long time and was definitely needing to nosh but didn’t have enough money to do the«go out to dinner» thing. Luckily, I stumbled upon the cart for Solar Waffle Works. They have both sweet and savory waffles, and as much as I usually want to go with the savory, my sweet-tooth guides me in a different direction. I landed on the Old-Fashioned waffle which is basically just a maple syrup spread atop a golden and delicious waffle. $ 3.00 later, my sweet-tooth was thanking me and so was my wallet.

Ok. Not spectacular.

I just discovered this place in my neighborhood, nestled in a sweet new food cart enclave. I thought it would be hard to evaluate on the food alone, because what they’re doing appeals to me on a different level all together. At first, I thought: Sweet, solar powered waffles. That’s a great idea. Then, I learned that they are running this cart as a vocational training program for teens who need some extra help getting from high school to jobs or community college or whatever. All of the proceeds they make go back into educational programs. So that’s very cool also. Now I’m worried, well, what if the waffles suck? Should I tell other people that or will I go to hell for it? So then I think maybe I shouldn’t even try one. Then I remember that I don’t believe in stuff made up by angry old white guys, so I plunk down my $ 3 and try a waffle. I went with their maple spread waffle and I was really happy that I decided to help the children. I thought I should come back to help them every day. And after a few years of this, I will be roughly the same size and shape and temperament as the Buddha, happily munching my way into Nirvana. Man it’s tough being a do-gooder these days. Seriously, the waffle was great. Crispy outside, fluffy inside and plenty of mapley goodness. Nice work. I’ll be back.
