Eating Out:

 

Waffle Factory Cafe

The newest addition to Jerusalem's ever popular network of sweet-tooth satisfying Belgian waffle bars is Waffle Factory. Located on Emek Refaim in the German Colony, Waffle Factory's claim to fame is the "create your flavor" motto : this joint is a place where you can choose exactly what you want - and the choice extends far beyond waffles. Housed in a newly renovated, fun and modern factory-style setting with sleek but comfortable high back booths for an added measure of dining privacy, Waffle Bar invites you to choose from seven types of pasta, five different sauces (all made on premises from fresh tomatoes), three styles of shakshuka, endless options for pizza and focaccia toppings, mouth-watering cheese melts and a grand selection of freshly chopped and tossed salads.
