When you have a blog dedicated to sharing all your favorite things, it’s hard not to start every post with “Oh my gosh, you guys!”
I really, really wanted to start this post with “Oh my gosh, you guys!”
Also hard: Limiting the number of times I use words like Fabulous! Life changing! and Gorgeous! per paragraph.
I do try. But it’s a challenge.
When I was visiting Jenny in California a few weekends ago, she showed me the menu for this seriously fun waffle stand.
They have sweet waffles, savory waffles, and waffles for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.
I knew immediately that we were going to need one of everything on the menu.
Just check out this small sample of their fun offerings.
I mean really. They had a S’mores Waffle. It was sprinkled with crushed, sweet graham crackers, drizzled with warm, melted chocolate, and topped with gooey, oozing perfectly toasted marshmallows.
You know there’s no way I wasn’t saying yes to that!
Next was the Creme Brulee Waffle. It was:
- A perfectly toasted waffle.
- Covered with decadent creme brulee custard.
- Topped with sugar and bruleed, so it had that wonderfully crisp, crackly topping, and…
- Stuffed with impossibly gorgeous red strawberries that, I kid you not, were absolutely bursting with sweetness.
I don’t know if you know this about me, but fruit (and nuts) in dessert stand for everything I’m against in the world. I love fruit. I love nuts. But I don’t want them in my dessert. It’s a texture thing. And a sweetness thing. And probably a weirdo thing.
But this. Was. Fabulous. I can’t imagine it without strawberries. I needed those strawberries. As hard as it is for me to admit, I don’t know which one was my favorite — the S’mores or the Creme Brulee!
Next was a PB&J Waffle. How fun is this waffle? Tasted just like a toasted PB&J sandwich. Loved it!
Of course, we had to try one savory waffle as well. This is the Bruxie Hash and Eggs. It was a special of the day, and sold out in one hour! Good thing we got there right when they opened! It’s a prosciutto and pastrami hash topped with gruyere cheese and a jumbo fried egg. All wrapped up in a waffle.
Yes. Please.
If you are ever anywhere near Bruxie, any time of day, make sure you stop by. Fabulous food, generous folks, and seriously fun waffles.

Yes, Bruxie is now in Rancho Santa Margarita also! I know because my son is one of the managers there! : ) Yes, they have AMAZING food! Hope everyone can enjoy it sometime.
Wow, I never heard of this and I love in Orange County. Read that they will be opening a location near me. Thank you for sharing.
This post reminds me of my waffle-filled trip to Brussels, Belgium several months ago. I definitely need to blog about that trip soon. Everything looks amazing!
Oh my god that s’mores waffle looks sooooooo good. Why isn’t there one in front of me right now?!
I will be there NEXT WEEK!!! My brother goes to school at Chapman University – only a block away from Bruxie! We went last year and I had PB&J. So good, but I want to try Nutella & Bananas this time! The Creme Brulee looks delicious as well.
they’re making me hungry just looking at them!
Drooling over that smoores waffle!

Oh my goodness, all those waffles look AMAZING! I needed the final push to buy a waffle iron and think this was just that… :)
I think I would have to try each one too.
the first time i tried bruxie i thought it was like nothing i’ve ever tasted. my mushroom and goat cheese waffle was so good! i need to go back and try their s’mores. good thing i live in the area!
glad you liked it :)
The s’mores waffle looks SO delicious. I wish we had something like this in Rhode Island! xoxo
Creme brulee waffle….yes please!!! I might have to make the hour long trip to try that!!!!
This place looks amazing. Is this in Old Town?
I’m speechless. And craving waffles. Definitely making waffles for dinner tonight!
When I’m behind in baking, I use waffles for my son’s lunch sandwich bread. He loves it, and I always know he’ll eat his lunch that day.
Aaahh!! Smores waffles?!? I want :)
Those look amazing! Since I live in Utah, maybe I’ll try making some in my kitchen, until I can get the real thing of course…
I’m pretty ashamed to say that I live 2 miles from the Brea location, and I still have not been there! I think I may have to change that this weekend :)
Oh my gosh…is a perfect way to describe Bruxie! My hubby and I LOVE to eat there. One of our faves! Next time, you should try the pastrami special. Incredibly moist and delicious.
PS – I’m a college counselor, and one of my former students is the son of the owner. I started working with him right when the first location in Orange opened, and now a year and a half later, they’re working on location #3 in the OC! So excited for them.
I love the City of Orange … shopping and of course the food. I’ve never been to Bruxie’s … but I feel the need to go!
Seriously amazing!!! I’m a grad student at Chapman, and it’s delicious torture that this is just across the street! Thank goodness the line is always super-long or else I’d be eat there more often ;)
I’m heading out to LA this fall Amanda and you’ve DEFINITELY convinced me that I need to stop here.
Those look amazing!
You ladies have to stop with the Bruxie’s pictures!! Besides seeing Bruxie’s on TV recently, I have been seeing them on Facebook, Instagram, various blog posts from the awesome get-together you ladies had, and I think I have been drooling for the past week. And I live in NJ, with, unfortunately, no plans to get to So Cal for a while :-(
I no longer live in California but I went to College at Chapman University in Orange, California. They opened this place after I moved away and I’ve been dying to try their food. Everything looks so delicious!
I would totally be in love with the S’mores Waffle!
I will be in Anaheim for a convention install next week….I’ve already mapped it out and the Orange location is 12 minutes away :) I AM SO THERE! Thanks for sharing! I go every year for this show and finding some fun new place to try with co workers is great!
Yet another place to put on my list. I love these posts and you can so start them all with “oh my gosh, you guys!” :-)
Oh my – those all look DELICIOUS! What a unique idea! I could never decide between the sweet and the savory!
sooooo…the waffle sandwiches kind of took my breath away. i think i may love food too much… :)
oh wow, I have never heard of a place like this! It sounds amazing. That creme brulee waffle is calling to me…
In addition to the location in Orange, there is also one in downtown Brea. I would highly recommend the pastrami sandwich and the prosciutto & gruyere sandwich for savory choices. For a fabulous sweet treat, try the nutella and banana with chantilly cream. It is to die for! And whenever they have specials, it is a good idea to try them as they are usually outrageously good!
Man! 3 am is not a good time to be seeing this blogpost…Waffle SANDWICHES!! THATS INSANE. A better name would have been “FATBOY’s Gourmet Sandwiches” …I think I’m gonna go make one now
I live in Socal and actually only discovered this place a year ago! I simply LOVE it! I actually went there this weekend because I saw Jenny’s post on it! I would definitely recommend you (& anyone else) to try their lemon cream & berries. DELICIOUS is all I can say for that one! I must also add, their waffles fries are as good as chik-fil-la! ♥
Those waffles look so fabulous, gorgeous and life changing! Would love to eat one right now! Can’t wait to get back to the states and make a trip out to SoCo! Thanks for reporting!
When I saw Jenny post about this a few days ago, I was like…whoa, a SoCal place I MUST visit and had never even heard of!
I’m with you on nuts…love them on their own, but not in desserts.
Smores, PB&J, and Creme Brulee…I couldn’t even pick one. WOW!
