Welcome to Pinoy Waffles, a delightful gem nestled in the bustling food court of Pacific Mall, located at 4300 Steeles Ave E M12-M13, Markham, ON. This charming café specializes in authentic Filipino street food that not only satisfies cravings but also warms the heart, a true testament to the spirit of Filipino hospitality.

The bright and cheerful atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for both a quick snack and a leisurely indulgence. With the scent of freshly made waffles wafting through the air, it’s hard to resist stepping up to the counter and treating yourself to something delicious from their thoughtfully curated menu.

One of the standout offerings is the vibrant kwek kwek, hard-boiled quail eggs lovingly coated in an orange batter and fried to crispy perfection. This classic Filipino snack is a must-try, served with a side of zesty homemade sweet and sour sauce. If you’re in the mood for something savory, don’t miss the siomai—steamed pork dumplings that come with a delightful garlic topping, perfect for flavor enthusiasts.

For the sweet tooth, the Puto Bumbong is a glorious treat of purple sticky rice topped with freshly grated coconut shavings, cheese, and a drizzle of condensed milk. Every bite is a chewy explosion of textures and flavors complemented by brown sugar on the side. On weekends, indulge in the delightful Halo Halo, a traditional Filipino dessert that features a colorful medley of toppings like ube, sweet bananas, and leche flan, artfully presented over a mountain of shaved ice and evaporated milk. This refreshing dessert is both a feast for the eyes and the palate, offering a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the mall.

Pinoy Waffles embodies not just tasty food but also a sense of community and warmth. As Marie Aligaen shares, the staff’s efficiency and friendly service elevate the experience, transforming the food pickup process into a well-oiled machine that doesn’t compromise warmth for speed.

Came on a Saturday, was quite busy but there were 3 staff so ordering and picking up the food didn’t take long. I liked that they have a number buzzer to tell if food is ready. Makes things more efficient. Been ordering here for 6 years now. My baby enjoys the cheese waffles. I always order the kwek kwek and the steamed siomai, appreciate that they have the ground garlic topping for it.

A nice little find in the p mall food court upstairs Nice little mom & pop shop that sells some Filipino treats and snacks The waffles are made fresh and come in many flavours. Got the custard ones as I knew my kids would love the creamy texture. The filled waffle sticks are really nice. The waffle itself was fresh and soft and the perfect doughy texture. Combined with the milky custard, it was a great bite each time Service was quick to get your orders in, but could take some time to get ready when it gets busy as it’s all made to order, so be patient when that happens. Great job overall! Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids, and more amazing content

You can’t go to P Mall and not hit up Pinoy Waffles for filipino snacks like kwek kwek and iskrambol. Amazing service as always - they treat everyone like family and quality’s always on point!

Follow @bredgyeats on IG for more food posts! Puto Bumbong - This is a sweet tooth's wet dream, subjecting glutinous, chewy rice cakes to a bombardment of condensed milk, brown sugar, and grated coconut for a massive dose of sugary dopamine that has depth.

Bought a variety of waffles after almost 3 months of closure due to the pandemic. Though they are currently only available for curb-side pickup, ordering was simple and easy! (The owners are also some of the kindest and most considerate people ever.) I extremely recommend the ube waffles, but I also never forget to order the kwek kwek as well. Food was made fresh, and it’s so simple yet delicious.

I have been here many times and the service is always great. I love their menu as it may not have a lot but they surely offer the best. I have been to other filipino street food type of menu locations and this is my most favourite so far. I have tried their kwek kwek, waffles, fried and steamed siomai, lumpia, etc. and they were all delicious. I have been here on busy days/times and not so busy hours. I prefer buying here on weekdays and bring cash as there is a $5 fee on card transactions which is understandable considering this is a small business. There are two chairs with a table at the side of the store. I usually buy takeouts and their packaging is neat! Everything is secured well, awesome! Keep up the great service and food!

I had the pleasure of trying Pinoy Waffles for the first time when a family friend took me there. Ive always frequented Pacific mall prior to covid but I never bothered to walk down the food court's middle aisle. I do have to say that it is indeed a yummy little snack to have while you walk around Pacific mall. I had the opportunity to try the apple cinnamon and ham and cheese and they were delightful. Prices were very reasonable and I enjoyed it. Though their name is Pinoy Waffles, they do have other non waffle items which I will be trying on my next visit. I will be frequenting this place whenever I'm in the area. Staff were very kind and courteous. Overall would recommend.
