The hours are Monday to Thursday from 9 am to 10 pm, but on Friday and Saturday they are open till 2:30 am for the late-night bar crowd craving a hearty waffle.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9847\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9847\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusnewspaper.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bite2-FOR-WEB.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9847 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexusnewspaper.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bite2-FOR-WEB-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexusnewspaper.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bite2-FOR-WEB-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.nexusnewspaper.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bite2-FOR-WEB-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexusnewspaper.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bite2-FOR-WEB-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.nexusnewspaper.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bite2-FOR-WEB.jpg 466w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9847\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Bite Me<\/em> is our regular food column (file photo).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Waffles are made fresh every day with a choice of original vanilla batter or gluten- and dairy-free buckwheat batter. They have ensured they have options for everyone, with a wide selection of fruit-infused and savoury waffles.<\/p>\n<p>Some sweet-tooth choices on the menu include Nutella hazelnut or the frozen yogurt waffle sandwich. Looking for traditional breakfast-style waffles? Try the mango coconut, or the raspberry banana.<\/p>\n<p>But my favourite style of waffles there is the savoury; my choice is the ham and Swiss or the pizza waffle. The ham and Swiss is loaded with honey ham, smooth Dijon, and broiled Swiss.<\/p>\n<p>The pizza is my late-night choice: pepperoni, ham, marinara sauce, and green onions underneath broiled Monterey and cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few of my favourites from their extensive menu. Not only does West Coast Waffles serve delicious waffles that cater to anyone, the staff is always approachable and full of good banter with their customers.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant\u2019s atmosphere is full of west coast flare and has a positive vibe of laughter, music, and smiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the holidays, I had a friend visiting from out of town.
