Nah, they just do gourmet waffles, more sugary than eggos or breakfast waffles, with sweet stuff added in.

Wouldn't be a viable date location though since it's open air. For romantic or platonic purposes I would favor something more intimate.

If the weather's nice, outdoors should be fine!

Get to know her before you announce your romantic interest. Hell, the girl might be a massive bitch or have majorly conflicting views to you. Find this stuff out before you commit to trying to woo her. 

Good luck and sugary waffles are the best kind.

But you agree with the general consensus here that "informal" dates are the best way to get to know her, right? A casual meeting as described? I mean, i cited that concern about her being totally incompatible for me, but was at a loss as to how to figure that out.

Conflicting views is unlikely, in any event. We're in the same degree program, possibly the same major (met too many people at that party to keep track of who had which major), in either case, it means we share academic/professional interests to a certain extent, and it gives her a high likelihood of being a bleeding-heart type like me (right wingers generally don't go with this degree program). The real concern is just general personality compatibility; will she like how i conduct myself, and vice versa?

Informal is better to get to know her, definitely. What you have for her right now is a shallow attraction, you're attracted but you don't really know her so it can't be any deeper than that. Keep it informal, and even if there aren't fireworks between you, hey you have a new friend. As far as I'm aware that doens't really happen after an unsuccessful *date*?

(lol at me having any sort of input here. I'm the worst dater ever. I've barely been taken on any actual dates by any of my boyfriends, ever).
