Having lived in the United States for a number of years, Steve Daumerie has often traveled back and forth to Belgium (his native country) to visit family.  On these trips home, Mr Daumerie’s first destination from the airport would always be the waffle kiosks near his home.  Eating Belgian Waffles was part of Mr. Daumerie’s joyful routine as a child; the smell and taste of these waffles are so wonderful that no children or adults could ever resist taking a bite into them.  In the thirteen years Mr. Daumerie lived in the United States, he had yet to find a place where he could eat a truly authentic Belgian Waffle (called “lieges” Waffle, a waffle prepared with a special sugar—only made and found in Belgium). Mr. Daumerie realized how unfortunate it was for the American population to miss out on such an amazing treat. This genuine insight gave him the idea of introducing the authentic Belgian Waffles to the US market as well as an array of other Belgian treats.

In the summer of 2006, Steve Daumerie resigned from his job as an educational consultant and purchased a one-way ticket to Belgium, determined to learn all aspects of his favorite snack.  This trip lasted four months and allowed Mr. Daumerie to learn enough about the product to feel ready to come back to the US to convert his vision into reality, by creating a company named Waffy’s.

Having made contacts with multiple suppliers within the industry, Mr. Daumerie first started importing frozen waffle dough and various waffle iron machines from Belgium.  During the two years that followed, he spent most of his time testing the market throughout the US and the result of his findings was nothing short of spectacular.  Everybody loved his Waffy’s authentic Belgium Waffles, and many asked him where these waffles could be found.  Mr. Daumerie quickly realized that there was, and still is, a massive potential market for these Belgium snacks.

In response to this amazing feedback, Mr. Daumerie decided to become autonomous, flew back to Belgium and learned how to make the authentic Belgium waffles himself, eliminating the need to rely on importing product from overseas.  He then returned to the US with a few secret recipes and decided to open a first retail location in a high traffic mall in South Florida (Town Center Mall, Boca Raton, FL)

Since its beginnings, Waffy’s menu has widely expanded to offer a variety of Waffles (both sweet and savory) that can be enjoyed for breakfast, Lunch Dinner or anytime in between! Our company has a passion for creating unique and exciting waffles. These “out of the box” culinary marvels (see menu) are sure to astonish even the most sophisticated pallet.
