Q. Moffle

belatedly got a «Moffle» here. it’s mochi «cooked in a waffle grill.
tasted fab; got plain (1.75) why get all the extras for the extra cost.
3.5 stars
not a good value, was 1.25 before.

Moffle sandwich with green tea ice cream?! Yum! Great idea. In reality not really. Moffle delicious! Green tea ice cream yum! Putting the ice cream in between two hot moffles! All bad. You end up with green tea soup in the bottom of the bag. Better idea would be to make it a moffle bowl with ice cream n keep the other half to eat and enjoy it’s delicious crispy goodness. Espresso tea offered here– wanted to try but in asking the cashier/​worker he could not explain what it was, if it was stronger than regular tea, or anything for that matter. One of my biggest peeves. know what you are selling. Loved the moffle n might come back for it, but that block is over saturated with so much competition. I may find it somewhere else nearby.

This is a new place that just opened recently on Irving street, surrounded by many other choices for boba and dessert.
The new idea of a «moffle» was what striked my attention, since I’m always down for trying creative food ideas. A moffle= mochi waffle. I don’t know what I was thinking, but to me it wasn’t that great. I tried the green tea one hot, and the flavor was really subtle. I usually like mochi, but for some reason it being in a waffle form wasn’t so appealing after a few bites. I don’t know if it’s because the batter is supposed to be a little heavy, but I threw it away after half of it. Maybe if I were to try it next time, I’ll get it with ice cream. Then again, I could just go somewhere else on Irving for a sweet tooth fix.

So my friend and I were on our way to get lunch when we passed by the juicy display on their storefront.
The store itself kind of looks like a Quickly’s on the inside but only specializes in the mochi waffle (moffle) and Dreyer’s ice cream.
We were mad full so we decided to share a moffle ice cream sandwich. We chose green tea as the base flavor of the moffle and cookies and cream for the ice cream middle. Normally would have chosen green tea as the ice cream but the green tea Dreyer’s ice cream tastes like vanilla with a baby hint of matcha. Come on, man.
The waffles were AWESOME because they were crispy and chewy (from mochi) and had a lightly sweet taste to it. Not necessarily green tea but just a hint.
The ice cream was okay but could have been better if they had given us a bigger scoop. The lack of ice cream made eating the whole thing kind of dry.
Overall okay experience but could have been juicier!!! Especially for $ 4ish!

I’ve stopped by a couple of times because the idea of mochi + waffle sounds DELICIOUS every time I think about it.
What ends up happening, unfortunately on most occasions, is that they forget my order, or handle food without washing their hands from handling cash.
When you do get it, and if you dare to try it, make sure to eat it hot! A cold one is basically soft rubber.
One cashier had me waiting thirty minutes before she remembered to make one of mine… And even then, she wasn’t very apologetic, and promptly told me the store was closing when she handed it to me. Gee, thanks.
The drinks are fine, but I can do much better at these prices.

Ordered the green tea moffle this time. The mochi was much new evident this time. Not sure if it was just the batter or what last time, considering the cook time should be automated on their waffle makers. But nothing really makes this «green tea» except for the flecks of matcha powder on the moffle. But overall, it was a good snack.
Stick with the plain. Cross your fingers for good batter. Eat it hot.

Imagine chicken and waffles.
Now, take away the chicken (I know, I’m sorry).
Then, replace it with ice cream.
Scratch that. Throw away the waffle, and this time remake it with rice flour for some dense chewiness.
Take the ice cream off the traditional waffle (hopefully, not from the trash) and put it on the moffle.
It was pretty good, but nothing like OMGOMS.
If it was half the price, I could see myself going back.
Dreyer’s ice cream doesn’t really do it for me :(

Blegh.
Crema tea tastes just like… tea with some froth. This ain’t molecular gastronomy!
The Moffle is just a chewy waffle. I much prefer the HK egg puffs over this thing. Pass…

I don’t even know what to start here…
Crema .the tea is okay but the cream part just doesn’t taste right. This pretty much means there is no reason to order the crema over the regular tea
Moffle…First of all this takes forever, and it’s really not worth the wait. The favor is subtle, and it has a weird chewy texture thanks to the mochi. Maybe good to try, but not something I’ll be coming back for.

Interesting, had to try one when we were walking by. My husband and I ordered a plain moffle and a green tea moffle (hot) and we ate them on the spot which we recommend. The green tea moffle is a bit sweeter than the plain although it doesn’t taste like green tea.
The chewy and crispy combination was good and at $ 1.25 it was a good deal. If we were in the area, we would have them again.

This is my first time at Q Moffle. I came here at around 5 PM with 2 friends after dinner. One of my friends was craving ice-​cream and this place looked cute AND they had ice-​cream. I am a sucker for waffles too.
Ambiance:
The place itself is okay sized. There are not a lot of seats inside, but honestly I never really see a lot of people inside. There are like 5 TVs in there, which I find unnecessary. I liked their menu because it was simple and pleasing to the eye. The logo is kind of cute (and creepy) at the same time.
Service:
There was one worker there from what I saw and she really did not seem to want to be there. But she took our orders and what not. No complaints.
Food:
My friend ordered the ice-​cream sandwich in original with green tea ice-​cream. She said it tasted good. I ordered the single green tea waffle with strawberry ice-​cream. I did not think the moffle tasted special. I couldn’t really taste the mochi in the waffle nor the green tea. It looked green at least. I enjoyed the strawberry ice-​cream which was the Dreyer’s brand. I enjoyed it more than the waffle. It was handed to me in a little Quickly’s box, which I thought was better than my friends paper bag, because her ice-​cream started melting and leaking out of the bag. It was just messy.
My single moffle with ice-​cream was $ 2.99 and $ 3.25 after tax. I would not return here to get it again just because it was nothing out of the ordinary. I really expected more of this place especially the moffle since it seemed so interesting and I never had it.

Of course I wanted to like this place, but it wasn’t anything special. There was also just one sad girl working there who seemed so bored out of her mind and I really felt bad for her. I tried the hot green tea waffle with macadamia nut ice cream. The waffle was not very green tea-​like and the texture was crispy, but I expected a bit more chewiness. The ice cream was just Dryer’s, so there’s not much to be said about it. It’s cash only and they play ridiculous music videos on the tv’s they have plastered all around bordering the ceiling.

I have to admit it– I had to have it. I needed to try the green tea waffle. I needed it as soon as I heard about it.
We went. We ran actually. Ok, we drove… but fast. But– the waffle disappointed. It tasted plain. No green tea taste in sight and all it had was the green color. Coloring does not equal flavor.
Not impressed.

Meh. Nothing special.
Came here with some friends and I guess it’s my fault for having high expectations. You can’t blame me though right? Mochi waffles with ice cream sounds BOMB.
There are 3 options for the moffles:
–Original
–Green Tea
–Chocolate
You can also choose from:
–Plain Moffle (Hot/​Cold): $ 1.25
–Ice Cream Moffle: $ 2.99
–Double Scoop Moffle: $ 4.50
–Moffle Ice Cream Sandwich: $ 3.99
I got the original Moffle (hot) with vanilla ice cream. The texture of the moffle was pretty interesting. It’s kinda like a chewy waffle (: it’s not that sweet so it goes pretty well with the ice cream. That’s about it though… just a chewy waffle with ice cream. Nothing too awesome, unfortunately.
The usual «no smile» quickly’s staff lol -.-
Would I come again? Eeeh… probably haha. Not because it is good though.

America is slow to catch on the trends. Moffles were big in Japan ages ago. San Francisco is even slower to catch on because Los Angeles has Coffee Code which has BEEN doing moffles.
With that said, Q. Moffle doesn’t serve ACTUAL moffles. Real moffles are mochi blocks in the shape of waffles. Q. Moffle doesn’t do that. They take waffle batter and add small chunks of mochi. So in reality you just have a regular waffle with small bits of mochi inside. I would call these… Woffles.
Honestly Quickly, nice try. You can’t fool me. My girlfriend and I have been making the real moffles on our own all year and they’re a zillion times better.
«Moffles» are $ 1.25 each and you can have it hot or cold. I think the cold ones are the ones that are pre-​made sitting a display case. Hot are fresh and tasty. There are 3 flavors to choose from: plain, green tea and chocolate.
My friend and I went with a hot green tea one and decided to share since other reviewers claimed moffles are huge. Wtf are you people anorexic? These things are SMALL and barely bigger than the size my hand (and I have small hands!!) we only needed a quick bite to hold us over for a long dinner wait so it sufficed.
The «moffle» itself came out nice and toasty after a few minutes. Looked like a green waffle, slightly crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. got a little bit of chewiness here and there from the small bits of mochi. It didn’t really taste like green tea and it was only slightly sweet (which is a good thing for me). I suppose if you’re a teen these days it won’t be sweet enough.
These «moffles» are good as long as you know what to expect. Don’t expect a true moffle like I did. Also, good riddance to Kobe Bento or whatever. That place was disgusting.

Ramen burger, Doritos locos tacos, sushi burritos, waffle tacos, donut burgers, and cronuts…
Just when the hype dies down for one hybrid food trend, another one comes along. This time it’s the moffle; when a mochi and a waffle smash faces, boinks, bump fuzzies.
A Japanese creation from the late 1990’s, a moffle is a cube of mochi (glutinous rice) that’s placed into a waffle iron to cook for about 4 minutes until it has a crispy exterior like a waffle. See article:
.
Q. Moffle (Quickly’s sister) offers three types of hot/​cold moffles: original, green tea and chocolate
. You can get it plain ($ 1.25), topped with ice cream ($ 2.99) or made into a ice cream sandwich ($ 3.99). Milk tea, boba and crema teas are also on the menu. Cash only!
The cute little pictures outside sold me on the moffle ice cream sandwich. We ordered the green tea moffle with vanilla ice cream. Request it hot so they make the moffles fresh for you; although they may resist since it will cause more work for them. We (I) insisted and just tipped the girl for the trouble of doing her job.
Instead of using just mochi cubes, Q moffle uses a chunky pancake mixture with mochi pieces.
As the moffle was cooking, I saw one of the workers continually stir into the ice cream bin. Ehhh old ice cream?
After 4 minutes, this gargantuan moffle thing was placed into our hands. The damn thing was so big (personal pizza sized) you had to eat into it halfway just to get into the ice cream:
. Not my cup of tea. It was like eating a dense eggo waffle with a gummy center (not sweet). The Dreyer’s ice cream was very artificial and bleh. With Mitchell’s and Polly Ann’s so readily available in SF, why would use Dreyer’s? Oh yah, it’s cheap.
I’m pretty sure the real Japanese moffle doesn’t taste like this. IMO, I much rather that Q. Moffle use quality ingredients and make a small liege sized moffle then to use cheap ones to make a gargantuan one we ended up having to toss after several bites. 2.5 stars rounded up because they just opened.
Then again, their target market are Azn teens so it’s understandable. Herro! *Throws up double peace sign*

Interesting idea to try at least once in your life.
I came here tonight and it was pretty empty. The menu itself looked simple enough as there is a limited number of choices to choose from in each category making choosing something very easy.
Major thing: cash only. 2 ice cream sandwiches cost about $ 8.68 and it took around 5 minutes for both to come out. The ice cream sandwich (in my opinion) didn’t have enough ice cream between it, but still good.
The cashier was… very lethargic. She did not offer a smile not did she seem to have any enthusiasm for her job. In fact I felt sort of bad for ordering since it seemed like I being a hassle for her. Then again… Lots of Quickly workers seem to have their life force sucked out of them…
Overall, good eats. It’s definitely a nice place to come to for a late night treat. They have TVs showing music videos and outlets under all the seats. Service just needs a little work but otherwise. Yay.

Waffles are too mainstream. Grab a moffle instead!
Moffles are Japanese glutinous rice cakes, called mochi, cooked in a special waffle iron called a moffle maker. The result is a snack with the chewiness of mochi on the inside and the crispiness of waffles on the outside. They’re similar to eggettes, but moffles are slightly denser and chewier.
Plain moffles, without any ice cream, are $ 1.25. They make an easy on-​the-​go snack or accompaniment to milk tea or coffee. Original, green tea, and chocolate are the moffle flavors available, though their taste is very subtle. Order your moffles hot, which takes just a few extra minutes. The warmth, softness, and chewiness of a fresher moffle are definitely worth the wait, as I discovered with my chocolate moffle. Cold moffles are substantially tougher.
Ice cream moffles are $ 2.99 for a single scoop and $ 4.50 for a double scoop. Ice cream sandwich moffles, which come with one scoop of ice cream and two moffles, are $ 3.99. The assortment of Dreyer’s Ice Cream flavors offered includes vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, green tea, cookies and cream, butter pecan, macadamia nut, and mint chocolate chip.
My best friend and I shared a green tea moffle topped with green tea ice cream. Ice cream moffles are served with a cold moffle by default. Though I could still taste the mochi’s chewiness, I didn’t enjoy the overall hardness of the cold moffle. It was tough to cut, especially with the cheap plastic utensils, and tough to eat. Next time, I’ll be sure to specify a hot moffle with my ice cream.
Cash only. Dreyer’s Ice Cream and Quickly’s milk tea are the other food and drink options available on top of the moffles.
Unlike the more decorated and sweet waffle desserts often found at Asian dessert cafes, moffles are a simpler and cheaper snack for those on the go. Be sure to check out Q. Moffle to try this cute and unique treat!

The Moffle is another great way of enjoying Mo (chi) & (wa)ffle.
Q Moffle looks promising! Give it a shot.

Thank you, Q. Moffle (and KFC).
I needed something to give myself after exams; this is totally it.
