Living in a college town you can rest assured that there are many great restaurants for you to sample and try. If you are looking for a Boulder restaurant that has a little bit of western flair and unique charm, then look no further than The Waffle Brothers.

A while back, John Power and Rod Dupen decided they were tired of their careers and decided they wanted to sell waffles instead. Since 2010, their dream has come true, and they’ve managed to create some truly delicious creations.

You can try their waffles (at 1326 College St.) with any number of toppings: Nutella, Peanut Butter, Cherries, Strawberries, Bananas; you name it they’ll put it on a waffle for you. They’ll even cover it with chocolate and nuts if you ask politely.

Most importantly, almost their entire menu is under $6, which makes it an easily affordable treat you can enjoy during those long study sessions ahead this semester. It’s also a perfect place to take your sweetheart for a sweet treat.

For more information, drop us a line or give us a call, and we will be happy to answer your questions.
