“ Amazing friendly staff, funky bohemian hometown vibe, and delicious breakfast, very importantly: coffee with personality! The Locals love it, so do we Visitors. Eat in or get goodies to go. Support the team and treat yourself!! ”
“ The bananas foster waffle is outstanding. I cannot think of a better waffle. We also tried the bayou special waffle which was quite good in a different way. ”
“ My visit to Iron Roost was outstanding! The staff was friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked through the door. It was very clean inside and the atmosphere was comfortable, welcoming and happy. They have a separate menu for gluten free with many vegan options as well. Both types of waffles - regular and gluten free were fabulous. Crispy outside and fluffy inside- very flavorful and satisfying. I had the Toasted Berry, which is a gluten free / vegan waffle topped with a delightful mix of berries, chocolate mousse and coconut whipped cream. The hours are limited but absolutely worth making an effort to visit during their week day hours. Highly recommended this restaurant ”
“ I love coming here, food is very delicious every single time!!! they have very limited hours. Essentially are only open during the week during the day and the occasional Saturday. Make sure you check their instagram for updated hours. ”
“ Not a bad place by New York standards. Very tasty coffee, Benedict couldn't taste it because it's on a special menu. And I think the prices are very high. completed by 30%. But the latte coffee is very tasty ”
“ Had a great breakfast at Iron Roost in Ballston Spa! The waffles were absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with just the right amount of whipped cream and syrup. The roasted potatoes had the perfect crunch, and the fresh fruit bowl was a refreshing touch. Cozy vibes, rustic decor, and friendly service made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in the area! ”
“ I loved this little place set in the quaint little village of Ballston Spa. I always get eggs and bacon, but decided to try the waffle instead. The bacon was nicely done and the waffle was delicious - just enough to be full, but not overly so. Thought the decor was cool, there's a little shop area in front to browse through while you wait to order at the counter. The waitstaff brings your meal when it's ready. Everyone friendly and smiling - something I like to see in the morning. Coffee was nice and strong, enjoyed my cup of joe while waiting. ”
“ So delicious food cozy place all fruit fresh love it the worker are friendly and nice ”
