Up front at Sugar & Plumm sit bins upon bins of by-the-pound candy and an ice cream counter, at which you can grab milkshakes including a waffle & candied bacon job to-go, even if you're just to-going to the leather-banquette'd sit-down cafe to snag sweet waffles savoried up with crispy free range chicken, bacon, or 72hr-smoked pulled pork.

From two Belgian high school buddies (one a Harvard MBA, the other the former owner of a plush toys company) eager to import a little taste of home to Harvard Square, Z's slings an addictive assortment of authentically light Liege gaufres in a bright counter-orderer decorated with Tintin memorabilia, and multiple statues of Brussels' famous peeing boy.

An updated take on an old-school chicken 'n waffles joint, Wings n' Things is the latest addition to NoMi's rapidly revitalizing West Broadway Ave: a sherbet-colored, to-go-style storefront that slings the type of damn tasty/ maddeningly unhealthy soul food, presumably so-called because it's certainly not doing anything for your body.

The roving waffle cart's settled down at a new storefront next to Show Dogs, where you can count on rich, dense, sweet, and chewy Liege waffles (authentic Belgian style, with chunks of caramelized sugar on the outside) -- they're so good, you'll want to forget you're at 6th and Market eat them really fast.

The much-loved Southwest churners of Belgium's national food (probably?) have opened an uber-tiny grab 'n go sister spot in the People's Republic, offering a slimmed down menu that features a new waffle breakfast sammie with eggs, cheese, and sausage or bacon, plus sweet stuff like the Waffle Sundae with chocolate chips/ banana/ nuts/ caramel/ whipped cream, and another version with marshmallow cream cheese and Nutella called The Democrat, presumably because it results in a large ass.

Because international pancakes hopped the shark years ago, opt for a different worldly breakfast from Belgian Waffle Co.: a mobile trailer run by a guy who retired from the tech sector to launch a Michelin-starred resto in his Belgique hometown, then closed shop and moved all the way to Austin for a laid-back life of artisan wafflery, finding freedom by getting on the grid.

Because everyone knows Jews and chicken are very fond of one another, Supper's new app-sized fried "Jewish" bucket comes with two cluckin' tasty pieces (plus fried matzo balls & garlic pickles) that've received a brine in pastrami spices. They've also worked up a just-for-Thrillist brunch plate that slaps a piece of bird on top of a rye waffle and drizzles it with maple mustard jus, though true observants only eat orthoducks.

Rooftop-patioed Departure has made just that from standard brunch fare to go Asian-fusiony on the city's favorite meal, meaning you can dig into Sunday cocktails like a Bloody with wasabi & Thai chili, plus wok-seared steak n' eggs, French toast made with delicious hum bao dough, and Korean fried chicken 'n waffles with chili honey.

Equipped with irons specially imported from France, Waffles is doling out both sweet and savory riffs on the breakfast fave, from red velvet with cream cheese icing and cherry compote, to cheddar jobs topped with braised short ribs, to green tea joints with lemon-ginger chantilly cream and ground pistachios, which hopefully weren't on it for more than five seconds.
