Wafflato Café & Lounge
Wafflato Café & Lounge opened its first location in Jasper six years ago, navigating the pandemic before the 2024 wildfire forced owners Suhas and Pravila Sawant to evacuate. After nearly a month of uncertainty, they returned to find extensive smoke damage and significant damage to their home. Following months of gruelling restoration work, the Sawants have now expanded their resilience and hospitality to Calgary. Taking over the former Donna Mac space in the Design District, Wafflato is the city’s newest all-day café. The menu features handcrafted Belgian waffles, brunch classics, dinner plates and cocktails, with coffee from Fratello Coffee Roasters. During our visit, we shared the macaroon waffles, finished with whipped cream, Belgian milk chocolate drizzle, and macaroons, and the buttermilk fried chicken waffles with a hot honey glaze. Both were excellent and serve as a testament to the quality this Jasper staple brings to its new Calgary home.
