    I got a variety of macaroons and a bag of waffles, and everything was exquisite!

    Had the most decadent, mouth watering dessert here. The Belgian Chocolate Torte is well worth it, and the perfect taste to end your food adventure on. I paired it with a coffee from Urbana Cafe, and I couldn’t have been happier with the melody of flavors on my tongue.

    I love Taste of Belgium waffles and since the one in Columbus closed, I don't mind trekking to Cincinnati every 2 to 3 months (depending on how fast the family devours them) and stocking up on those delicious waffles. Their food is also scrumptious and have tried 3 of their restaurants and have had bad experiences with fraudulent charges added to any card I use. So no more "sit-down and eat". I only do Findlay Market.. they only make waffles, you pick what flavor waffles you want, cashier bags them, my card never leaves my hand..no waiters/waitresses involved. NEVER have any issues at FINDLAY MARKET.

    Ordered a lemon cheesecake and it was very disappointing. It was rubbery and old, and came with a free gnat! Which sadly I didn’t discover until a few bites in. It was gross and I’ll never get it again.

    We went here about 5 years ago and loved it and couldn't wait to go back on our next visit to Cincinnati. What a disappointment. The service was the worst - unfriendly and slow. There were no other customers. The person preparing our order (5 waffles and 1 crepe) made only the crepe and forgot he was supposed to make 5 waffles. I skimmed the other reviews and see the trend of complaints about service. Poor service has now trickled down to poor quality of the product, because the food was so disappointing. Such a contrast from our last visit! We'll never go back there again. :(

    Banana and Nutella crepe was great but the customer service was not very friendly.

    The workers here probably come to work high. I ordered latte and the guy made the milk froth and 10 shots of the syrup, but forgot to put in the espresso. Gross 🤮!

    Delicious waffles and quick service. I ordered the fruit and cream waffle.

    I highly recommend Taste of Belgium at Findlay Market. We host food tours and bring dozens of guest there on a weekly basis. Jacqueline Umberg and the staff are so professional, hardworking and friendly! The locals on the tour even remark about how delicious the waffles taste right out of the waffle maker. Jacqueline and the staff really go the extra mile to give each customer a first class experience!

    The waffle was good. Service was not... The man that served us was not friendly or polite...they served one of the crêpe 10 min after the other we ordered so it was barely warm.

    Jean-Francois Flechet moved from Belgium to US to work on his doctorate. While with a market research company in Cincinnati he started frequenting Findlay Market. A decade ago, he started trying recipes for Belgian Waffles in an attempt to make them taste like those he ate as a child in Belgium, in a stand at Madison's at the market. They were an instant sensation, so in February 2008 he moved to his own stand inside Findlay. Rest is history. Try the waffles with banana and Nutella – our favorite.

    Today, we got to go to Findlay Market and while we were there we saw the establishment, Taste of Belgium. This place was recommended to me by one of my friends who lives near here as I’m from another state. We wanted to order sandwiches and desserts off their menu, but we were told they no longer serve sandwiches. For us, this was a bit of a let down and I would suggest updating the menu to reflect only those items that are available for purchase. We left to go buy sandwiches from another place, but returned to buy lemon cheesecakes, frosted oatmeal cookie, snickerdoodle cookie, peanut butter cookie and a buckeye. My friend also purchased other cookies 🍪 and she made the comment that the person behind the counter acted like he didn’t want to be there. He also didn’t talk very clearly. Another patron was raving about all the desserts and said everything was good. I ate the cheesecake and it was good, however it was not very 🍋 lemony. I’ve eaten the snickerdoodle and it is good but each of these items have been lacking the main ingredient flavour. Having said this, I would definitely return to try other items if I lived in this area. I wanted to try their waffles, but I am already on carbohydrate overload.

    Amazing service! I was greeted quickly and the food was hot and delicious ❤️ the manager Jackie even took the time to say hello and ask about my day/experience! Always a pleasure to have a warm waffle on a chilly day by an amazing staff! 🥰 keep up the good work!

    They heated up the breakfast quiche for me, and it was life changing! I should have bought one to go, huge slice for $6. Also got a delicious muffin and they warmed that up for me. Was super intrigued with the speciality “glazed” waffles- almost got one. They have lots of options in general I believe. For a drink we got coffee. They have numerous locations.

    I went with a friend and we each had a crepe. I had the savory and my friend had the traditional. Mine was delicious and had no shortage of warm, yummy goat cheese. We split a strawberry and cream waffle. Also wonderful! The service was as fast as it could be when you are making crepes from scratch. We ate at the little red tables at Findlay Market. It was perfect!

    One of my fav places since day one of ever going to Findlay Market. I love the case full of goodies and don't even get me started on good the waffles are. Friendly people and service.

    You’d think that one would go here for some type of waffles. Nope. My son wanted pizza. So what do we get? Pizza. Was I skeptical? Yes. Was it good? Absolutely!!! Friendly staff and great food. Maybe I can finally come for some waffles next time.
