Now in Irvine: Bruxie’s Sweet and Savory Waffle Sandwiches
08.06.13
Bruxie is opening its sixth eatery in SoCal in Irvine today. The restaurant, which focuses on a menu of more than a dozen savory and sweet gourmet waffle sandwich offerings, is located at Culver and Walnut at the Heritage Plaza Center.
Bruxie’s grown in the last 2 ½ years, and Chefs, Partners and Concept Creators, Dean Simon and Kelly Mullarney are strengthening their brand by improving its original location in Old Towne Orange. Since opening, the Orange location grew to include a restroom, which it never had in its 61 years as a Dairy Treet prior to Bruxie’s arrival, and adding a larger covered outdoor dining space for guests.
At its fifth, and most recent location, at The Strand on 5th in Huntington Beach, Bruxie made its shakes, floats, desserts and beverages more accessible with the first “Bruxie Streetside” walk-up window, which will be added at future locations that have increased foot traffic.

All Bruxie menus offer Bruxie’s unique takes on authentic Belgian waffles, as well as salads, locally produced old-fashioned cane sugar sodas, real Wisconsin frozen custard, shakes, sundaes and floats. Bruxie proudly serves Peet’s Coffee & Tea products, and nothing on the menu exceeds $10.
All Bruxie locations are open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.
