Waffle Bus

The Waffle Bus is owned and operated by husband and wife duo Nicole Broussard and Alexandre Calestagne. Both are Evolve stalwarts having attended over 14 Evolves as both fans and later business owners.

Many of you may have come to know us from our “Evolving” festival presence but the Waffle Bus actually began in 2011 without wheels of any kind! Rather, our waffles were introduced with one waffle iron and a table at the Antigonish Farmer’s Market. As our products gained popularity, we decided to expand our idea by restructuring a 2003 Chevy Step Van into a Waffle Bus! We took our waffles on the road attending festivals, farmer’s markets and special events with the intention to bring our products to a wider audience. To ensure our customers could obtain our products all year round, in 2015 we opened a brick and mortar in Antigonish called The Waffle Bus Stop. Weathering some ups and downs through a pandemic, and an ever increasing cost of operations, we were able to open our second location in 2022 located in New Glasgow. The two together and our food trailer allowed us to satisfy folks in both communities as well as throughout the Maritimes. We look forward to many more years of serving waffles to the people!

Our waffles are made following a traditional, dough-based, Belgian recipe. Made with Belgian pearl sugar and cooked on a cast iron iron, our waffles are golden brown in colour, light and airy on the inside and caramelized and crunchy on the outside! They are a versatile base from which to create a wide variety of sweet and savoury creations. The versatility of these waffles is truly something to behold! From sweet creations, to sandwiches, to bread puddings, to soups, croutons, parfaits, there is no culinary challenge they are not up for. Make sure and drop in to one of our three spots whenever you have a waffle craving and we are so excited to bring our Waffle Bus back to where it all began. See you all at Relics Fest!!
