Waffle Bar — Restaurant in Lakeville

You have got to check this place out.

I grew up in Lakeville, MN (where Waffle Bar is located), and would never have expected to find desserts like boba tea or bubble waffle ice cream. I fell in LOVE with these desserts when I lived in Los Angeles, and I was SO EXCITED to hear about a bubble waffle store in Lakeville.

So obviously I had to see if it was any good. And let me tell you, I was SO IMPRESSED with Waffle Bar.

I walked in, and right away I was greeted with hometown-themed decor (very heart-warming!) and an eye-popping menu full of beautiful-captured photos of the choices.

Our cashier, Ryan, was so welcoming, enthusiastic, and gave me great recommendations. I learned the restaurant is family-owned, which made me even more excited to support them.

First, let’s talk about the Thai Tea (with boba, of course). Rich, full flavor with incredibly satisfying tapioca pearls. Not too sweet, and also a great price. This is the best boba I’ve had in the Twin Cities, and it truly stands up to top boba places in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

And of course, the main attraction: THE BUBBLE WAFFLE. I ordered the Cookieapolis (chocolate ice cream with sprinkles and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies), and OH MY GOODNESS. First, I watched as Ryan quickly crafted an Instagram-worthy bubble waffle dessert. Very impressive. I took my first bite, and usually the ice cream isn’t the main attraction, but the chocolate ice cream was honestly some of the best I’ve had in my life. To add, the chocolate chip cookies and the bubble waffle were both so fresh and full of rich flavor. My spoon easily cut through the warm bubble waffle, and each bite brought me straight back to those Los Angeles bubble waffle experiences I was used to.

TL;DR — WAFFLE BAR IS A MUST-HAVE! The desserts will blow your mind with their creativity and high-quality flavors. It’s got such a fun vibe and is perfect for dates and even large groups. I hope this place stays around for many, many years, and I hope you will give it a try and...

Waffle Bar is more than just a dessert joint, it's a hub of culinary creativity. A local business built on the foundation of bringing an exotic street food experience from the streets of Boston's Chinatown to the heart of Minnesota, Waffle Bar is true to its mission in every sense.

Their story is rooted in a journey across coasts, culminating in a discovery that transformed into an irresistible culinary adventure. Bubble waffles may have originated in Hong Kong, but the Waffle Bar has masterfully made this delicacy its own. This love for the craft is palpable in every bite.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of trying their Berrylious and Bananutella bubble waffles. Each mouthful was a carnival of flavors. The Berrylious, bursting with the sweet and tart goodness of berries, balanced perfectly with the light, crisp waffle. The Bananutella was an indulgent treat; the familiar, comforting taste of Nutella blending with banana to create a dessert that was both familiar and excitingly new.

What sets Waffle Bar apart, however, isn't just the phenomenal taste of their food. Their commitment to freshness and quality is evident. Their waffles are made from scratch daily, ensuring that each bubble waffle served is fresh, crispy and warm. And the ice cream? It's super-premium - and you can taste it. This commitment extends to the artful presentation of their food, ensuring every creation is a feast for the eyes as much as it is for the palate.

Add to that the welcoming ambiance of the place, where you can comfortably sit outside and enjoy your treat. It's a lovely spot for a date, a meet-up with friends, or even a quiet moment to yourself.

In a world full of chain restaurants, Waffle Bar is a breath of fresh air. It’s a testament to how much can be achieved when a love for food, a sense of fun, and a commitment to quality come together. A visit to the Waffle Bar is not just about satisfying your sweet tooth, it's about partaking in a journey - a delicious, waffle-filled journey. Can't...

Well like most other reviews you do smell the waffles right away and then you'll notice the line as well. Making each one of these looks like an actual pain to do. One person is constantly turning out waffles as fast as the machines allow. Another will then scoop the ice cream and then finally the last person artfully ends it. So each person is getting a very fresh, over the top dessert that will take time. I enjoyed my berrylicious and was wow'd by some of the other creations. The waffles were actually a lot more softer than anticipated and I liked that. Above average flavor of the ice cream, nothing to wow you with there. More just an Instagram...
