Waffle Haus New Regent Street turns a central Christchurch dessert stop into a place to settle in, with a cosy upstairs dining room at its New Regent Street address. Fresh Belgian waffles are served from morning until late, making the cafe equally suited to breakfast, an afternoon reward or a sweet finish after dinner. The mood is playful and openly indulgent, with an all-you-can-eat option and a bookable waffle challenge adding theatre for especially hungry groups.
The signature combinations build distinct personalities from the same crisp, warm base. Death by Chocolate layers sauce, chocolate pieces and cream, while Berrylicious brings strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and berry sauce. Waffle Monkey combines banana, chocolate, salted caramel and coconut; Lemon Berry uses lemon curd and berry sauce for more acidity. Banoffle, Oreo Cookie Crumble, Kit Kat and Chocolate Salted Caramel cover several other routes through the richer side of the menu.
Simpler stacks keep maple syrup and icing sugar at the centre, with single, double and four-waffle formats for different appetites. Beyond waffles, the cold side of the offer is unusually broad: real-fruit ice cream, fruit smoothies, thick gourmet shakes and icy frappes. Shake flavours range from chocolate peanut butter caramel and Oreo to gingerbread, chai, fruit and mint, while smoothies combine fruit with apple juice for a lighter contrast.
Mojo coffee, tea and hot chocolate make the upstairs room useful even when a full dessert feels excessive. Diners can eat in, collect an order or use delivery, and the long daily service window makes the cafe flexible for families, friends and evening visitors. It is a focused concept rather than a general brunch menu: choose the waffle, decide how extravagant the toppings should be, then match it with something hot, blended or frozen.
