The Spot for a unique breakfast without the traffic of Portland.

The care taken when crafting their delicious waffle art is evident in the service, the space, and lastly the presentation and flavor of the waffles.

A must visit when in the area.

The waffles & organic, maple syrup were delicious! Topped with soft, slices of brie cheese, this dish was to die for! I would give it 5 stars, but their coffee was from Portland; I would think that could've been a few other local choices :(

This is a refresh take on a favorite food and a great addition to the downtown restaurant scene. I had the Audrey which had goat cheese, hazelnuts and honey and it was fantastic. I highly recommend trying this place and their variety of clever, fun waffle fare. My only critique would be that they to...

The staff are really sweet and the food and coffee are nice. They break up their waffles into two groups sweet and savory. I would say it's a bit expensive for 1 waffle but I'm hoping that it goes to better wages because the staff are great.

I was very excited to try the Syrup Trap. I love waffles!
The atmosphere was sort of cafeteria-like, but very clean!

Prices were a bit high, but I was expecting a really high-quality waffle.
And that's where this jumped the shark.

The waffle, while really nice looking, was really dry. I th...

I had the 2nd breakfast. It was so good. If you take a bite of the waffle by itself you will be amazed at the flavor it has all on it's on. I will be going back. Can't believe it has been open for 3 years and I hadn't heard about it.

*I've been back a few more times and have found the espresso to be more consistent. It's not one of my favorites in Vancouver yet but definitely getting better. As they work out the kinks, I hope to see continued improvement. I'm increasing my review from a 3 to 4 star (update).*

My friend and I checked out syrup trap for the first time. We often travel to Portland to go to waffle window and we re looking for a place closer to home. This place did not disappoint! The place is very cute inside. I ordered the waffle with turkey, havarti, and bacon with raspberry preserves on t...

As an avid Parks n Rec fan, I was excited when I walked into this waffle place last year to find a few PNR themed waffles. These waffles are AMAZING. They've recently outdone themselves by making the Swanson Sammy. While it doesn't have all the eggs and bacon they have, it still would make Mr Swaso...

Love the waffles... Normally. We ve ordered a handful of times and the couve waffle is hands down one of their best! However, we ordered to go this time and once we got home - our waffles had a sour taste and we cut into them more towards the middle and it wasn t fully cooked. We called to discuss t...

Delicious waffles and tasty coffee! We stopped by here on a whim on Sunday for brunch with a friend. I had their Banana Nut special and my husband had the Couve Club. Both were so yummy! I liked my husbands dish so much that I came back again on Tuesday to get it. They have a small desk and play are...

The place is called The Syrup Trap but then they charge you for syrup?

You have to bus and clean your own table/pick up food/coffee at counter. We sat down and the table was dirty so we wiped it ourselves. This would be fine, but then they expect you to tip? What are we tipping for?

We ordered...

The bacon was not even slightly crispy. It was only semi cooked, rubbery, and very greasy. I'm guessing since the shop was closing in 6 minutes (as the worker told us, and how we could take our order and leave) she didn't have time to cook it thoroughly. Overpriced, $10 for a waffle with undercooked...

A combination of some outdoor and some indoor seating during this pandemic. Staff is very attentive and hard-working. I had the Couve Club which is a savory waffle with turkey, bacon and a raspberry jam. Very delicious and not overpowering with sweetness. Great spot for brunch.

Omg this place was great! I got the brie, pear prosciutto one and my bf got the 'couve one. Both were amazing. I couldnt help going back for more of the sweet bacon pieces on top of his, it was so crispy. Yum. Definitely try this place. I want to try one of the sweet ones next time.

The young lady working the counter was very sweet. The waffle was good, but it was just a waffle, mine had Bacon on it. The Bacon was not good, my wife had a sweet Waffle, it was ok. The Atmosphere is pretty good. Overall It was fine.

The waffles here are amazing. Docking a star because the sit down area is not family or large group friendly at all. It was awkward to navigate and find places for my family to sit and eat. The monkey waffle was great and so was the pear. I would go back but take out only.

Waited nearly 40 minutes, no food. Went to check on the order and evidently they never sent it or something.

No real apology or sense of urgency. They half offered to remake it. At this point my Girlfriend is ready to go. When we asked for a refund we were told they would text the manager . Ok.....

Audrey with strawberries, side of bacon, and a pumpkin pie latte. It was so delicious! The bacon is thin which was great as a topping but I would prefer thicker for a side. I will definitely be going back to try all the savory waffles

Wonderful little shop. It's small and popular, so be prepared. Boyfriend and I had Elvis and Second Breakfast waffles, and they were amazing! Also had a wonderful glass of chai cold brew!

Their fare is waffles with various topping. I had a very good waffle topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Others has blueberries and lemon curd. House coffee was ok. They have other specialty coffees so maybe those were better.
