Solar Waffle Works

I heart waffles. I especially heart when I don't have to have them for breakfast. I was checking out Last Thursday for the first time in a long time and was definitely needing to nosh but didn't have enough money to do the "go out to dinner" thing. Luckily, I stumbled upon the cart for Solar Waffle Works. They have both sweet and savory waffles, and as much as I usually want to go with the savory, my sweet-tooth guides me in a different direction. I landed on the Old-Fashioned waffle which is basically just a maple syrup spread atop a golden and delicious waffle. $3.00 later, my sweet-tooth was thanking me and so was my wallet.

August 28, 2010 -- Great Waffle Cart with Friendly Service

Solar Waffle Works is a food cart in the Area 23 cart pod on NE 23rd and Alberta. (we've moved from this spot) We stopped by for dinner at the most recent Last Thursday. My wife got the Maple Bacon waffle--6 slices of apple-smoked bacon and maple syrup, while I chose the Real Gouda--stuffed with vegetarian sausage, and topped with Gouda cheese. Both tasted fresh and incredibly savory, and the waffles are as light as air. The owner was working with two other people on this busy night, and she was so friendly and easy-going. She spent a few minutes chatting with me, and one of her helpers even explained to me how they make the waffles so light. There are three other carts in this pod, and all the carts provide seating, fresh water, and a porta pottie. Great spot to stop next time you're on NE Alberta.

[Too cool for the Web]

Solar Waffle Works arrives from the minds of Portland high school students, who handled market research, truck design, marketing, and health department certification. Also a non-profit program created to help at-risk students transition into post-high school life, the solar-powered food truck serves some of Portland’s most creative fare, including an appetizing maple bacon waffle (five strips of apple-smoked bacon on top of a maple butter spread). Solar Waffle Works sources most of its food from within a 200-mile radius and even offers vegan-friendly options.
