La Waffletz

My boyfriend and I stopped by this shop on a whim. The food was delightful! The owner was super friendly and endearing. We had the PB & Carmel and the Belgium. Can’t wait to try more!

So at first I was a bit sceptical about these being authentic. I walk in and I was greeted by a French accent right then I knew it would be great. He suggested I try a few different waffles and he had a vast knowledge on each he even told me what region in Europe each recipe came from. All in all it was a good experience and the food was absolutely delicious!

I have never been a fan of waffles but my wife is, so I took here and my daughter as a surprise on Saturday morning.
To keep it short, this place changed my mind, delicious!!!

This place is a must for Waffle lovers who are in town! One of the best, if not the best waffle ever! We ordered the sundae waffle & the Taste of Belgium waffle both were delicious!

Excellent! A waffle maker and an interesting man. If parking is difficult because of the Dome then park further away and ride the train in.

I am SO SAD that I am so late on finding this place! I’m usually rushing out the door after getting off the train, but yesterday my husband surprised me by being in the station instead of in the car. He mentioned La Waffletz, so of course I had to go check it out!
The owner was working with a couple placing a special order, so we peeked around their legs to see what flavors of macarons were available while we waited. First of all, I was delighted with the bright colors of many of the flavors. It really reminded me of the macarons at Ladurée in France, so I was optimistic. My only other experience with macarons in WA were from Le Panier, which were not very flavorful though they are technically well constructed.
We decided we’d order 2 each of 6 flavors: Rose Raspberry, Key Lime, Blueberry, Lemon Ginger, Malabar Bubblegum, Apricot Cheesecake. The owner advised us to let them come to room temperature before we ate them (no problem, since we were going to have them for dessert). He marked off two boxes on the punch card (buy 9 boxes of 6, get the 10^th free) and sent is on our way.
Of the flavors we’ve tried so far, Rose Raspberry is my favorite, followed closely by key lime and lemon ginger. I don’t care for blueberry or bubblegum flavors, but those were right up my husband’s alley.
I am looking forward to going back for more macarons and to try the liege waffles!

Amazing food, amazing service! Two of my friends and I came here a week ago at 6:55 (it closes at 7pm) and were pretty sure we didn’t make it on time. The owner stayed and took all
Of our orders! He was so sweet and very helpful in making suggestions. Definitely a must-​go if you’re anywhere near Tacoma!

I’ve been wanting to come here ever since I saw the reviews on Unilocal.Everyone seems to be raving about everything there!
It is a small bakery with a display of multiple flavors of macarons. Also, some photos of the many waffle types he has to offer.
The guy who runs the place is very nice. He answered any questions I had and gave me a punch card.
I bought 2 Salted Caramel, 1 Blood Orange, 2 Pink Guava, 1 Rose Raspberry, 2 Pistachio, 2 Green Tea, and 2 Mango (12 total).
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. My boyfriend split each one over a 4 day duration and gave the doubles away to some friends and family to try.
I must say that that the mango did not taste like mango. My boyfriend and I agreed that it tasted like chocolate. It was very delicious but misleading lol. We enjoyed it nonetheless.
Unfortunately, they did not have the red velvet, coffee, or Nutella flavor. That just means I’ll have to come back and check another time ;).
This is my new go to place for macarons and waffle desserts!

This review is just for the macarons… you know, those brightly colored, decadent treats you never know whether to call cake or a cookie? It’s a little bit of both and I’m ok with it. A good friend of mine has a bit of an obsession with these French confections, not to be confused with the Italian macaroons, which are just as yummy. We walked right by Le Waffletz, sat down and these little devils caught her eye. Within minutes we were chatting with the guy behind the counter, not sure if he was the owner, deciding which of the many flavors presented would be what would end up in our bellies… we chose cassis, green tea, salted caramel, rose raspberry and pistachio. Love. Pretty damn perfect, especially since we were both having a bad day. Nothing like 10 macarons to turn the day around. Le Waffletz was quite a find, I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Tacoma!

These waffles (and his macaroons) are absolutely incredible. You will not find better dessert anywhere else.

I’m so glad to find this hidden gem. I tried the Taste of Belgium a couple of weeks ago and it’s my new favorite. I have to admit that it’s the best Belgian waffle I’ve ever had in my life.
I definitely will be trying out the other items in the menu soon and I highly recommend this place especially if you’re craving for waffles.

You won’t regret coming here for amazingly delicious waffles and macaron!!! I will be sure to come back often! Excellent customer service as well! Truly a phenomenal brunch experience for us!

Been wanting to come here for a while ever since I’ve since it on Unilocal.Finally got a chance to, and I was so excited. I ordered two macarons: Pineapple and Key Lime. And of course, I had to get a waffle, and I went for the Taste of Belgium. The macarons were $ 1.75 each, cheaper than most places, and also a little bigger than some of macarons I’ve had. They were so flavorful, and light and airy. And the waffle looked so delightful when it was brought out; it was truly love at first bite. It was absolutely delicious. With the strawberries and whipped cream, and chocolate chunks hidden in the waffle, it was the perfect level of sweetness. And the chef/​owner is very friendly. Can’t wait to come here again.

Roger is the best, and it shows in his Waffles!
Try the banana split, it’s amazing.
He makes everything on the spot, right there.
Definitely the place to visit in Tacoma!

Theee best waffles I’ve had!!! The Liege Waffles are perfect! Belgian pearl sugar adds pops of sweet carmelized crunch to this crisp, buttery thick, tender yet soft waffle.
Original Belgian Waffles are light, soft, and fluffy
It’s inside the Freighthouse Square Food court

You need go go an try the waffles, it’s perfect.
Macaroon was to does for. Rich in flavor and not to sweet. So far they have me over the last place I had macarons

This is my new favorite waffle place! In my opinion, it beats all the waffle places in Seattle!
My boyfriend, his brother and I came here on a Saturday night, one hour before they were closing so I thought we weren’t going to make it since we were coming from Renton. La Waffletz is inside Freighthouse Square and finding parking can be a bit difficult. We had no problem finding the small gem inside and we were greeted by the owner of the place (he was the only one there working). We took our order and sat down at one of the tables nearby. My boyfriend and I ordered a Banana Split waffle while his brother ordered a Nutella Banana waffle. The order took no longer than 10 minutes and we were surprised that the owner brought it out for us and served us! To me, that is great customer service, we weren’t expecting it to have served for us. I really like that.
When we took our first bite, we were amazed at how amazing it tasted. It wasn’t something I’ve tried before and I’m a sucker for waffles, especially if they are Belgian ones. After about 5 minutes, the owner came out and asked how everything was. Another bonus points! I love that guy. He was so nice and you can tell that he cares about his customers a lot.
My boyfriend and I ordered the Banana Split waffle and it has vanilla ice cream, along with bananas and strawberries underneath and also topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle (which hardens after a few seconds and I love it). I feel like the whipped cream is homemade too cause it has that unique taste. You can’t get this at local grocery stores.
The price is pretty reasonable. A lot cheaper than the one in Seattle and it is definitely worth the drive for me. I live in Kirkland, but I was in the Renton/​Kent area since my boyfriend and his family lives there. I’ve always wanted to come to La Waffletz for a while, and finally had the chance to try it. Despite the drive, I’ll most likely will visit here more often! They also have macarons in a really cheap price, but I haven’t tried it since I wasn’t in the mood for extra dessert. Keep in mind that we had the delicious waffles BEFORE our dinner! Haha. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the amazing Belgian waffles!

Inside the freight house, this place isn’t much to see. but if you give it a try then you won’t regret it.
The macarons are tasty, and they are very inexpensive. The one knock is that they weren’t as chewy as I’d have liked, but they were still good.
I also tried the Taste of Belgium. The waffles were freshly made with fresh fruit toppings. If I have a sweet craving I’d definitely come back here.

Absolutely adore this place! Such a neat spot to have dessert in the market. The owner (I believe) is so polite and incredibly nice.
Prices are fairly cheap; most definitely reasonable. A good variety of waffles and even macarons! Lots of Flavors to choose from. Definitely sweet.
Drove to Tacoma just to give it a shot, and it was worth it!

Nice gem added to the area… gives your taste buds a treat.
Waffle batter homemade fresh daily. Fresh cut up fruit (bananas, Strawberry’s etc,.)
Owner is from Europe, moved to NY then came out west dabbling in the market to see what’s the next big thing in unique eats.
Instead of doing crepes, he and his wife decided on waffletz which the name is cute and catchy.
The shop is open inside the food court within the mall shops across from the Tacoma Dome park and ride.
Its not fancy in any way… very small but that’s all the space you need to make these tasty bits.
My Banana Split Wafflet was perfect. You can order it with Vanilla or Chocolate Ice cream. I went with Vanilla. I think chocolate lovers would love the chocolate because the chocolate sauce dribbled over the top was divine and rich with flavor. They use real whipped cream which mellows out any possibility of being overly sweet and it paired well with this slices bananas and Strawberry’s.
The waffle itself is the perfect firm platform to add on all the goodness on top with the perfect chew with each bite. You have to use a fork and knife to cut.
The prices are $ 5.95 and below plus tax on any particular order. You can always add more items for extra.
If you get off the bus, train or trolley, make your way over. You won’t be disappointed for the type of item being made or you can drive over with free parking street side or use of the transit garage, its a win win.
Enjoy!
