Waffle Blox

10/05/2026

As we wrap up our season, I keep learning how much having more gluten-free choices matters.

Five years ago, my best friend and I started Waffle Blox together. His family needs to eat gluten-free. I don’t. This business continues to teach me about decisions I usually take for granted. Early on, we hesitated to lead with “gluten-free.” People assumed it wouldn’t taste good. They were wrong. We just didn’t know whether that perception would keep them from trying our stuff. We thought it would be 'worth the risk' though. The rest is history.

This weekend’s Chicagoland GF festival reinforced the need. People traveled, waited, and showed up in huge numbers. Some still couldn’t get what they came for. That sticks with me and makes us want to keep improving. Thank you to the organizers for the tremendous work behind it.

This year we added bacon cheddar chicken and waffles, teriyaki chicken and waffles, and ice cream to our regular menu. Making our own GF popcorn chicken has been a pain in the butt and a blessing. We’re proud to offer something really good that is difficult to find.

Saturday was our last HarborMarket of the season. Thank you to the market that helped us launch, our “vinyl brick and mortar,” and to our fantastic customers. We’ll miss you this winter. Not enough to stand in the snow though. 😊 See you in spring!

Watch for our new website with catering and event information.
One more chance to see us:
📍 Lakefront Brewery, Milwaukee
🗓 Sunday, October 11 | 10–3
🍻 Handcrafted Fest of Ale

Thank you for helping us grow.
