Celebrate National Waffle Iron Day on June 29th by checking out this cool bookstore! Located in Downtown Buffalo, New York, Fitz Books and Waffles offers customers a unique cultural experience. Created by Brian Fitzpatrick, Fitz Books and Waffles offers a curated collection of used and new literature alongside waffles, which the shop serves during open hours. Fitz believes that books, along with other forms of art, function as agents of change necessary for countering hateful and dangerous ideas and movements in America, such as fascism and white supremacy.

Waffles!
During their open hours, customers can come in and purchase a liege waffle at Fitz Books and Waffles. Liege waffles are caramel-flavored confectionary treats that originate from Eastern Belgium. Fitz makes their waffles with dough rather than batter, and customers can buy either a plain or chocolate flavor. Shoppers can enjoy their waffles as they navigate between bookshelves, or they can head out to the back patio to sit at a table. Visit the shop’s website to order your waffles ahead of your arrival at the store.
Events!
From art exhibitions to musical events to book openings, Fitz Books and Waffles is always hosting exciting events at the store. Check out the store on Instagram and Facebook to be kept up to date on upcoming events.
