Topping the list is Moore Coffee Shop. Located at 1930 Second Ave. (between Stewart and Virginia streets) in Belltown, the spot to score coffee, tea, sandwiches and waffles is the most popular cheap waffle spot in Seattle, boasting 4.5 stars out of 1,084 reviews on Yelp.

Next up is Central Business District's Sweet Iron Waffles, situated at 1200 Third Ave. With four stars out of 1,392 reviews on Yelp, the breakfast and brunch spot, which offers waffles, coffee and tea, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a low-priced option. 

"We specialize in creating authentic Liège waffles and offer Stumptown espresso drinks," it notes on Yelp. "Our waffles are an extraordinary treat, made-to-order, pressed with authentic cast iron Belgian waffle irons. These waffles originated in the city of Liège, Belgium and are made with a brioche-style dough containing pearl sugar and topped with delicious combinations of the freshest ingredients."
