BEST CLEVELAND BRUNCHES

WALKING INTO WAFFLE-O-WAFFLE, tucked back from the bustle of Medina’s populous main drag, feels like finding buried treasure. Occupying a cozy, shared white cottage storefront, the business started back in 2019 under the direction of Layla Holmes before moving to its new location, boasting whimsical chalkboard walls and breakfasts by the plateful. The fan favorite in Medina serves up liege waffles — with a tasty, crunchy texture — smothered in a variety of toppings that give a sweet or savory profile. The latter includes the unconventional BBQ Chicken Pizza Waffle ($14 for full size). Lovers of sweets enjoy the gooey marshmallow-covered s’mores waffle ($12), the raspberry cheesecake ($12) or maple bacon glazed ($12). Perhaps the most popular choice of all is the one fit for the indecisive: the waffle flight ($18). This option allows the choice of three mini waffles; a tour of all the menu can offer. Friendly service and Instagrammable food ensure you'll be back.
