Bruxie
College Area
This casual eatery on the SDSU campus slings thin and crisp 250-calorie, yeast-risen waffles sandwiched with savory or sweet fillings, and Liège waffles, a denser alternative made from brioche-style dough with crunchy pearl sugar. Standouts include roasted mushroom and goat cheese with sweet balsamic, lemon cream, and berry, and the Liège waffle sundae with frozen custard.

Rare Form
East Village
CH Projects’ new deli concept near Petco Park serves a smattering of sandwiches made with warm cornmeal waffles. The savory options are best, particularly the fried egg, bacon, and American cheese. If your cravings lean sweet, hazelnut butter and banana is the way to go. To drink, let proprietor (and master mixologist) Anthony Schmidt set you up
