Little Gem Belgian Waffles

I ordered waffles for our office last week and was so impressed with everything from exceptional service to the quality of the food. Chong and his team went above and beyond! We even got shout outs from one of our executives because the waffles were that good! Would recommend this option and will definitely be ordering from them again

The presentation isn't the cutest but it was pretty good.You walk up, order & pay at the kiosk & you'll receive a text message once your order is ready! You can't enter the store & just a heads up, there's no seating either. Despite how busy it was, the staff was pretty quick w getting our order done. Parking wasn't super hard to find but we did have to park down the street since this place is located on a busy/main street.

I love a good liege waffle, and while Little Gem is tasty, it's not quiiiiite all the way there. The texture is not dense enough, and it's also not caramelized enough. Don't get me wrong, it's still delicious though, especially when it's slathered in speculoos.The entrance is blocked off, and you order on the kiosk. You're guaranteed a fresh waffle, as they're made to order, but I don't love that you have to wait on the street.

A perfect place to stop at for dessert! You order on the kiosk (which has pictures & descriptions of each item) and they will text you when your order is ready. Although it was busy, our order came out fast and was delicious. This is located on a busy street so parking can get hard. However, there are parking garages that are just a few minute walk away.

Our family recently discovered liege waffles so we were very excited when we found Little Gem waffles on Yelp during our recent stay in SF. But the trek to Berkeley left us disappointed and unfortunately Little Gem was more little then gem. The waffle lacked the crystallization that gives a liege waffle it's amazing chewy and crunchy texture. Little Gem also lacked indoor and outdoor seating..not sure how they expect someone to fully enjoy their waffle since waffles don't necessarily travel well. A good Belgium waffle that fell short as a liege waffle.UPDATE: owner replied and I appreciated how receptive she was to the feedback. She explained that the lack of seating was due to constant crime. And that they cut down on the pearl sugar (that gives the liege waffle with its chewy crystallization) to control the sweetness.

I'm a waffle guy, and there's no denying it. Earlier in the year, I looked up desserts after getting sushi in the area and was pleasantly surprised to find a dessert waffle spot in the area and stopped by, and unfortunately, have been coming here regularly ever since. You wouldn't know it by judging it by the outside. A place next to some bar, with no dining room, a self service kiosk, and people working who run it up to the window to pass your waffle over once ready. But the magic truly is in the scent of sweet waffles being made that floats up and down the street that I noticed people walking past looking inside to see what's going on. I always get the churro waffle with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and their whipped cream on top. The ice cream is always a generous portion, the cream is not your regular whipped cream and has this heaviness that makes me crave it all the time, and perfectly paired with the crispy yet soft warm waffle it's piled on top of. Little Gem is truly a little gem in the heart of Berkeley and always worth the stop by.

This place is so addictive. I have to be VERY careful whenever I walk by, lest I keep ordering from them and turn into a giant waffle myself. The waffles are made fresh to order (you can see them prepare the dough) and they come out warm, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and with fresh toppings. It's a true hole-in-the-wall and a true gem in Berkeley. I always get the Crown Jewel, which comes with freshly sliced strawberries and a rich house-made cream. These are possibly the best Belgian Waffles I've ever had.

Craving something sweet & delicious? Or need a sweet treat for those good or bad days? Then I definitely recommend this place! Heads up this place only does togo orders & doesn't have indoor seating. You have the option of having the waffle on a plate or a togo container that charge you $0.25. The ordering process is through a tablet but they also have an online order system if you prefer that. It takes around 5 mins for your order to come out if there no line. I got the crown jewel & it was delicious! Since there was no seating at the restaurant me & my friends walked around the area to find seats & were bit worried that our waffles were gonna be soggy, especially when my friends got their waffles with ice cream, by the time we found a place to sit. When we found a seat the waffle was still crispy! The waffle was so delicious & sweet! The whipped cream & strawberries complemented the waffle really well. My friend got the same thing but with ice cream & I had a bite of theirs & it was so yummy! I would definitely recommend getting the waffle with ice cream.

I love this cute college town desert place. What can be better than a custom made Belgium waffle topped with your choice of ice cream amd toppings. Or get one of their own creations when you order ahead online.Only downside is there is no seating so either eat standing or hope you make it back before the ice cream melts all over your waffle, either way it's good albeit a bit pricey for a take out only place.

Lowkey think these waffles might be the perfect dessert.. When I first tried, I didn't think the portion size would be enough to satisfy me but I think it's the perfect amount, especially after a meal!! Obviously the combination of waffle/fruit/nutella/ice cream work very well together. I'm someone who is always deliberating between ice cream or some sort of baked treat for dessert, and I think this is THE solution to my dilemma. Waffle is crisp + chewy, not overly dense (which I hate..), and made fresh. Very solid dessert choice
