Members Only Waffle House is an X-rated dessert shop that grew from\u00a0a\u00a0famed\u00a0pop-up stand\u00a0on Queen West.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The craze for waffles\u00a0began in the summer of 2021 when they set up a stand in partnership\u00a0with\u00a0Frisaca, a Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner Kirsty Fan tells blogTO she found a concept for X-rated desserts being done in Madrid, Spain and that’s when she had the idea to bring a similar concept to Toronto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersFan says people started lining up all the way down the street for their pop-up stand, entertained and fascinated by the idea of eating a member waffle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersPhotos of people with the comedic waffles took over social media, many coming from outside of Toronto just to see what the hype is about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand grew for a more permanent location and Fan opened up a brand new storefront in December 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersThe store situated in the heart of Queen West is vibrant with pink walls and warm lighting, inspired by the feels of a vacation in Palm Springs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersPeople walk inside with smiles on their faces, greeted by personable waffle makers, who erupt in joy at their arrival. 
\"membersWithout a doubt, they’ll get a laugh out of you, nudging to jokes about the members. And if you’re not comfortable with ordering one, the store stocks warm cookies given out free of charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersDon’t worry about getting anything stale tasting, the batter for waffles is made in-house, fresh each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersYou’re in charge of how you dress your member, five different Belgian dipping sauces are available, coming in white, semi-dark, and milk chocolate, along with ruby pink, add any amount of sprinkles you want to top it off.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersAll of the waffles are priced at $11.00, this one is dipped into the semi-dark chocolate sauce, with white chocolate drizzled on top.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"members<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This pink chocolate dip called “The Ruby” is a favorite at Member’s Only, resembling a fruity flavor, with a bit of tang. It goes well with the caramel sauce as a sweet addition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"members<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite, is the white chocolate-dipped waffle with a milk chocolate drizzle and pearl-like sprinkles,\u00a0sweet enough without the sugar rush.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"membersA series of large bay windows span across the length of the takeout shop at Member’s Only, just steps away from Queen and John.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
