Top 5 Waffles

Published: Aug 24, 2006

IRON MAIDENS

1 Kokobanana Waffle
Breakfast at Koko's, 710 Girard Ave., 215-574-8333

Get to Koko's early if you're craving waffles done up with bananas and toasted coconut flakes. At 11 a.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends, the crazy-delicious breakfast spot turns into Chick-N-Fish, putting your syrup-soaked fantasies on hold until the next morning.

2 Fried Chicken & Waffles
A Full Plate Cafe, Liberties Walk, 1009 N. Bodine St., 215-627-4068

Chicken and waffles—it's the ultimate Southern comfort food. We like A Full Plate's take best because the fried chicken and Belgian are drowning in little pool of sweet barbecue maple syrup, perfect for the sop 'n' mop. Waffles with soul—who knew?

3 Pecan Waffle
Morning Glory Diner, 10th and Fitzwater sts., 215-413-3999

Morning Glory makes the most mammoth waffles our forks have ever seen. The plate-covering treat comes with the perfect ratio of pecans and creamy whipped peach butter. Don't miss a single cranny.

4 Waffle Sundae
Café Sud, 801 E. Passyunk Ave., 215-592-0499

This Moroccan cafe, known for its cakes and pastries, takes its decadent confections seriously. The brunch staple is piled high with mounds of fruit, sliced bananas and whipped cream, then drizzled with raspberry syrup. Of course, what kind of sundae sugar rush would this be without some ice cream? Add it on, dammit.

5 White Chocolate Waffle
Bonté, 922 Walnut St. and 130 S. 17th St., 215-238-7407

Eat at this authentic wafflery and you'll swear you're patronizing a street vendor in Brussels. With rich white chocolate chips nestled inside the dough, their golden sugar waffles are served crisp and steaming hot, unlike the soggy Eggos you've feasted on in the past.
