The Wafel Cart

Their wildly inconsistent appearances have made them impossible to track down. While every other food truck and cart in Rochester maintains a set schedule making them easy to find, you might have better luck winning the lottery than spotting the Wafel Cart.
I hope they will eventually have more predictable hours that they stick to because their wafels are typically stand out delicious.

After meandering around at the Food Truck Rodeo, I spotted all these people with delicious looking little waffles. It was on like Donkey Kong. I had to try one.

At The Wafel Cart, you get a waffle plus two toppings for five dollars. They also have the «Trashwaf» for seven dollars, which is a waffle plus every topping they have, with the exception of peanut butter (not sure why this was omitted).
I ordered the two-​topping waffle, with bananas and Belgian fudge. The waffle itself was thick, with a crispy warm outside coated with confectionary sugar. The texture differed from the inside, which was undercooked and soft, but still at a high temperature. It was like eating a freshly baked cookie that was crispy on the outside but still raw on the inside. But this wasn’t a bad thing. I’m pretty sure this is what The Wafel Cart is going for — a carnival like, fried dough kind of food that tastes good and is fun to eat. The nickel-​sliced bananas on top combined perfectly with the dark chocolate tasting, hot, oily-​textured Belgian Fudge. The toppings were judiciously apportioned with the waffle, so that I could have both the bananas and fudge with every bite. My companion ordered the Trashwaf, which was naturally a bit more filling than mine. Since she couldn’t finish it, I graciously volunteered to help her out and have some. Weirdly enough, the Trashwaf made sense, as the pecans especially paired delectably with the maple syrup and nutella, creating a toffee-​like taste that sharply contrasted with the strawberries and whipped cream.
I would have given The Wafel Cart five stars but the service was slow. Numerous people that ordered after me were served with their waffle before I was (damn them!). But the bottom line here is these waffles are delicious. Give in to temptation. Do it.

A Waffle is an amazing thing. Now, I know some of you folks out there may prefer the pancake and I won’t hold it against you. Pancakes have their place, at the breakfast table. Sure, maybe you get breakfast for lunch/​dinner sometime but ultimately Pancakes are a one hit wonder. They got no skillz! The Waffle is the true Renaissance man of the breakfast breads made from batter! They can go with fried chicken! They can get turned into ice cream cones! Taco Bell is trying out a waffle based breakfast taco, you can even get a sandwich made with them. The possibilities are endless!
So should the fact that somewhere out there, in the universe some brilliant man/​woman decided to take the every adaptable waffle and like a mad scientist bend it to their will? No, probably not. Would it shock or amaze anyone that the will of that man or women may be to have the best damn dessert waffle ever? Well that does seem SOMEwhat reasonable doesn’t it? No my friends, what should should, awe, titillate, amaze, fascinate, enrapture and yes maybe even arouse you, is the fact that THAT person and THOSE waffles can be found RIGHT mother beeping here in Rochester, NY. At. The Wafel Cart.
Nick has a way with a waffles, maybe it results from some accident as a child when he was covered in waste from a nuclear waffle iron, we may never know. What we do know is that his waffles are amazing. They have lots of those little extra bits around the edge everyone likes to tear off to eat, and Nick even brings along some 12 different toppings that range from fresh fruit to nuts to spreads even the classic syrup.
There are only 3 reasons I can’t give these amazing feats of dessertery a full score of 5. One, the whip cream we got on our waffle was tiny, SUPER TINY, like it melted in 30 seconds it shouldn’t even count as a topping if there is only going to be .05 ounces of it. That my friend is a garnish. Reason 2. Our waffle was kind of sorta still doughy in the middle, what makes this worse is that there was not even a line they were trying to hurry through to make sure everyone got a waffle. Let the waffle cook as long as it needs. Reason 3, $ 4 for a waffle with two blips of whip cream and some fruit/​syrup/​nutella. That isn’t a BAD price any where but the market. The Wafel Cart is set up 30 yards from Zimmermans who will serve you a waffle probably close to this in size (thinner but bigger around), with bacon/​sausage and 2 eggs cooked to your liking for…$ 4. They also have butter and syrup ($ 0.25 each at The Wafel Cart) for free.
I’d probably give the Wafel Cart a 3.5 stars if there was such an option. It is good, its very tasty and a great dessert waffle. I expect once things get grooving this summer the uncooked waffle problems will solve themselves as they become more familiar with the correct cook times. Up that whip cream and then I’d give it 5 stars with a smile. Though Zimmermans would still be undercutting you ;).

Had one of their Belgian waffles with Belgian Fudge on top as after reading about it here:
TOO GOOD!!!
