"Everything delicious! We tried the waffles, omelette, smoothies, and fresh orange juice. All excellent! What stood out most was the kindness and attentiveness of our waiter, Diego. 10 stars for Diego!"

"Stopped at La Waffleria in El Chaltén and ordered the Fiesta de Calafate waffle — wow, just wow. Perfectly crisp, loaded with flavor, and paired beautifully with a smooth cappuccino. Honestly, I could have stayed all afternoon enjoying their food, but we had a bus to catch to El Calafate. Loved every bite. Cozy spot, friendly vibe, and absolutely worth the stop. Definitely recommended!"

"Food options in El Chaltén are quite limited, so this waffle café was a great find. You can choose from a wide range of ingredients and create both sweet and savory waffles, which is perfect after a long day outdoors. We stopped by after a full day of hiking, and the calafate and mascarpone ice cream was especially good — refreshing and well balanced. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, making it a comfortable place to rest and refuel after a hike."

"This cute waffle shop on the main strip of El Chalten has been calling to me since I got into town. After a hiking day and with my hotel being nearby I couldn’t resist some sweet waffles and chose the bananas and Dulce de leche. The Dulce de leche had notes of butter and caramel, which paired perfectly with the waffle. Bananas were bananas, and did not sell the meal but definitely added to it This is a great restaurant to have in a hiking town, hell yeah all day breakfast"

"Can I give extra star for the takeaway we got!! This place sure exceeded our expectation in all Chaltén and was a great place for the breakfast before we head off for our long drive to Punta arenas. I had vegetable waffles and it had LOT of veggies which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Hubby got chicken waffles and devoured them as well. I got peach juice which was little sweet but that’s the property of the fruit. We had fiesta de calafate!! Oh my god it is a must try. It was sweet, tart and awesome. We had a takeout of another vegetable waffle and scrambled eggs which were.. no surprises: good. Would highly recommend them."

"Waffles were very good but a bit expensive to what I got. I took one sweet (chocolate with cream) and one salty (eggs). Kinda felt like I could get much more food in the same amount of money. I definitely recommend tho - it was very delicious"
