What customers say?

“ Great tasting waffle sandwich! Not really much room inside the shop to have your meal, as there are only a few inside tables. People will set up shop and take over a table as one person meant for 2-4 people. However, the outside sitting area is great. With good weather, that's the way to go...or get your sandwich to-go. Servers are friendly, and well worth a visit for something different. ”

“ I tried Smash waffles for brunch on Sunday. I ordered the 3 waffle special, OG, Pig and chocolate chips, and it was tasty. It has limited seating in their area but shared seating with Town Hall, which was good. Overall, nice experience. Note: smash waffles is a chain but Durham location offers different menu options. ”

“ Ate here with a friend, and it was our first time going. I had the happy go clucky breakfast waffle sandwich. It has fried chicken on it but hard to tell in the photo. It was really good and I love that the waffles were soft and not hard and crispy. I think it would benefit from some maple syrup, but I still recommend it very much! Cute little place with not a ton of seating, but friendly staff and good vibes! ”

“ Our first time coming here and it was a very pleasant surprise. I had the chatty patty, and my wife had the Swiss key breakfast sandwich. We were expecting the usual small size, one hande breakfast sandwich. To say we were surprised would be an understatement. Had to use a knife and fork to eat them. Well worth the visit and highly recommend. ”

“ Amazing waffle sandwhiches. It's inside the coffee shop which may need to fixed on google. It shows the coffee place and Smashed Waffles as different restaurants. ”

“ On a quiet, overcast, and rainy day I decided to finally stop by and try the food of this establishment. I was hangry. My day was not going as planned. I ordered the "Happy-Go-Clucky" and I was glad I did. I was transported to a dimension where savory herds gallop through fields of sweet. It was a reality with no politics, no tragedies, and no dreary days. Each bite allowed me to transcend the mortal toil and reach a higher state of being where I became intimately familiar with the forces that govern our universe. Now that the last bite is gone, I've come back to our world with a more complete sense of self. I believe in myself and that I have a purpose to fulfill in this universe. I could have never guessed that my life could be so changed by two perfectly sweet waffles holding a juicy cutlet of chicken, thick-cut bacon pieces with just a hint of salt, and a square slice of cheddar which seemed somewhere between mild and sharp. I am a better man, partner, and steward of the Earth's resources having consumed this sandwich. [No picture included because I absolutely inhaled that baby after the first bite. If you want to see it, just go buy one. Ya'welcome!] ”

“ This is a regular stop for me on my way through the Durham area heading west. As others have stated, this is in People’s coffee, which utilizes the excellent roast of Black and White coffee roasters of Wake Forest NC. The waffle menu is excellent and both the sweet-topping waffles and savory waffle breakfast sandwiches are delicious. This is an egg and cheddar waffle, although the way it turned out, it looks like a wide-eyed animated turtle. The only reason I didn’t give the establishment 5 stars is because the to-go coffee cups could be improved in wall strength. I believe the steam from the coffee causes the slightly thin-walled cup lip to soften and lid fit becomes weak. I have twice experienced a coffee spill in my vehicle as the cup becomes topless as well. Once that lid pops off, and the cup lip is softened, it’s very difficult to snap the lid back on securely. I recommend that folks stop here and try the delicious waffles and get a careful cup of well-roasted coffee. My customer service experiences have been excellent. Lastly, this is a personal choice, but it seems a quality establishment such as this, could have a stamped logo on their coffee cup or heat sleeve. A printed logo would receive ad impressions on social media such as this review. ~Beans ”
