Weekend Brunch: Coffee + Waffle Bar

September 13, 2017

Posted 09/12

Sunday is the day we catch up with family or friends over brunch, so it is a day we all look forward to! Everyone usually brings a dish to share, and we create a big spread in buffet style. This time around we teamed up with The Original Donut Shop® Coffee pods to come up with a full spread coffee + waffle bar! This is the coffee Gabe and I look forward to sipping on each morning. That might have to do with the pace of life with little ones as we know it…;), but it also has that robust kick that makes you believe you can conquer the day after a good mug full.

(we can always count on Max for the entertainment!)

We held an impromptu silly face contest for the kids to make on top of their waffles, and we had quite the range of characters! Props to Veronica for the rainbow sprinkle hair, but I am pretty sure Max’s chocolate beard took the prize. I have a feeling my kids will be requesting the Sunday funday waffle bar every week from here on out!

Waffle Toppings:

Blueberries
Strawberries
Bananas
Chocolate spread
Whipped cream
Greek Yogurt
Sprinkles
Maple Syrup

Coffee Station
The Original Donut Shop® K-Cup® pods
Sweet Creamer
Milk
Sugar
Mugs
Keurig coffee brewer

We have used a Keurig® coffee maker and K-Cup® pods for the past few years because it always delivers an instant strong delish flavor. Saves us from our $4 a cup drive-thru runs;)

It’s been such a welcome change to have most of my family in town now, so coming together for some quality time together is a great refuel before the week begins! It helps to have that set aside time in the week to gather together, catch up, and just have a good time! Our house is often the hang spot, so having a breakfast bar with a good cup of coffee in hand is my ideal kind of hosting situation!

What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday?

Hey! I love this! Such a great idea to do with friends&Family to catch up.
I’m from Brazil, and here people are starting only now to get into the brunch concept (we are HUGE fans of a big lunch, so brunch wasn’t really a thing), but we do have great afternoon coffee spread – savory and sweet things – it’s amazing to bring people together 🙂

Also, I wanted to ask, the mugs and milk jug 🙂 where are they from??

This is such a neat idea! It reminds me of one time, when I was a kid, when my family did a pancake bar and invited friends over. Delicious, easy, and a big hit for everyone 🙂 I am a huge fan of waffles, so I might have to try this some time-my big question is: What is your strategy for making enough waffles for everyone without it taking a long time? Do you have multiple waffle irons, or do you make them in advance and keep them warm in the oven, or do you do something else?

These were the substitution for my other kcups at last weeks click list pickup and I ALMOST sent them back, BUT these photos are giving me all the feels and I’m definitely going to open them and give them a try now! 🙂 On a scale from 1-10 what’s the sweetness level? They gave us the sweet and creamy. Have a wonderful week!

A Sunday brunch with family and friends is always a delightful way to unwind and reconnect, especially when it involves a cozy coffee and waffle bar like yours! It’s fascinating how food brings people together, and it reminds me of the incredible variety found in Singapore foods, where every meal is a chance to explore flavors that unite communities. From rich Laksa and Hainanese Chicken Rice to sweet treats like Kaya Toast, the culinary scene in Singapore offers a medley of experiences for every palate. A fun brunch like yours could even draw inspiration from Singapore’s love for communal dining, with its blend of vibrant toppings and flavorful options reflecting the diversity of its food culture. How wonderful it is to see food and family creating such joyful moments!
