Iron Roost

It's always a good time at the Iron Roost. Quality food and drinks. Absolutely love their waffle sandwiches. My friend had their Buddha bowl which was super hardy and delicious. Pictured is their chocolate hazelnut croissant and cappuccino. 🤌🏼🤌🏼

Best waffles in the Capital District! Best gluten free waffles in the state! Everything is a la carte but the ambiance and friendliness of the staff make up for the price of your meal.

I absolutely adore this charming spot located in downtown Ballston Spa. Their coffee is superb, and you mustn't miss out on the delightful lavender latte and their delectable breakfast options. Additionally, they offer a fantastic selection of homemade items that you can conveniently take home. Their biscottis and items from the Saratoga Tea Company are particular favorites of mine. Just keep in mind that this place is consistently bustling, so if you plan to sit down, it's wise to anticipate a potential wait time.

One of my favorite spots. They routinely change out their menu and have different specials. The waffles are fabulous and so are their savory waffles. I went with a friend who's now obsessed with the BLT on a waffle. They also have a huge selection of grab and go meals, lunches, cookies and desserts. I only wish they had more space. Seating can get a bit difficult when they are busy but it's so worth the wait. Highly recommend if you have not tried them.

This place is a treasure. Delicious eats. Order at counter, pay and almost immediately your meal is served. Super fast and super easy!! Friendly service and lots of intriguing options on the menu including several specials. You can go sweet or savory and lots of hot and cold drink choices. Highly recommended and very reasonable.

Awesome food every time, French toast is to die for along with the home fries. Coffee is nice and strong and the atmosphere is very cozy. Love coming here for breakfast and can’t wait to come back!

Always great service and food. My husband got the Banana Foster waffle with a side of home fries, sausage and cheesy eggs. I got the Lemon Berry Waffle and a side of fruit salad. He got a plain iced coffee and I got the cinnamon roll ice coffee. Everything was tasty and the service was quick.

Delicious food and excellent customer service! I got the two eggs sammy and my wife got the Ballston Creme waffles. They have a variety of shelf and cooler products to go as well. I will most certainly be back.

This Pineapple Upside-down Waffle ranks among the top 3 waffles I've ever had. Truly amazing, definitely order this special if you catch it. They should consider adding it on the regular menu!

This is a great restaurant featuring clean, healthy, vegetarian and gluten free options. They bake a lot of great pastries, pies and desserts on premise. Great food at a reasonable price!

The muffins are INCREDIBLE- my favorite muffins I’ve ever had. Some are GF, but they do not taste like it at all. We also had lunch there, which was fantastic. You MUST try the homefries- they were delicious! I had the chickpea wrap and really enjoyed it. Thanks for a great lunch!

Absolutely delicious. Had brunch here Friday morning and the wait was short. Only 10 min but I have heard it gets really busy on the weekends. Worth the wait in my opinion! I had the lemon berry waffle and my sister had a breakfast sandwich we both had one of their signature coffee drinks too. All of it was phenomenal. Perfect portions, perfect amount of sweetness without feeling overwhelming or heavy. The ambiance of the place feels like walking into a cozy mystery novel with the little library, coat rack of fun aprons for the servers to wear and all the lovely little touches. it is positively charming. We even joked they must be witches because the food was magical. Absolutely recommend! And if the wait is too long they do have a selection of items for take away! (Including this comically large biscotti)

Wow!! We stopped here on the way through town for brunch. It was a marvelous experience. The menu is eclectic and delightful. The food was delicious, fresh, hot, and served fresh not long after we ordered. Everyone was friendly and cheerful. If I lived close I would come here all the time!

Really good food and cute place. My wife and I enjoyed a sneak date here. Interesting how you order, then get your table, then they bring your food, but it worked.

The waffles are excellent. Simply the best in the game. I have yet to eat a waffle I haven’t enjoyed, and I have been working my way through the menu. The staff is very courteous and kind. Definitely worth a visit.

They do have takeaway options through the Mealeo app.

Great place for breakfast! Definitely lovw their chicken waffle.

What a great find! Beautiful farmhouse decor, delicious foods, perfect latte and friendly staff. This places fills up fast on a weekend, so come early or on a weekday. It is totally worth it!

Such a lovely local restaurant with delicious waffles and coffee! The cappuccino was so fluffy and the staff was so kind!

All the little spots in Ballston Spa are great, but Iron Roost is hands down my favourite place for breakfast (and coffee 🙊) Staff are super friendly and welcoming and the food is just amazing and the restaurant has a great comfortable vibe. Daily specials never disappoint. I ordered a homemade cake for my boyfriend’s birthday, and I genuinely think it was one of the best I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to come back

Loved it here! Go with friends so you can try multiple things...the Apple Crisp was the crowd favorite - egg sandwiches were good - Southwest fiesta and the Front Street Philly were both great!
