(Kari's Rating 8/10) I thought it would just be about Instagram posts and too much ice cream, but the ice cream quality is actually really well done. I know they top the sundaes with a lot of extra things, but the combination is exquisite. Service is relatively quick, and coming from someone who used to work at an ice cream place pretty typical. The ambience is fairly casual not quite a date spot but could be! You should come with more than one person because the waffle sundaes actually feed one to two people. I got the birthday cake sundae and the waffle was crispy and hot, the ice cream was creamy and cool, but I definitely could not eat one full one myself! I wouldn't go out of your way to just get this, but I would go get it if you are in the area. read more

Eiffel Waffle - Birthday cake sundae - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

An ice cream store that while lacking in flavors, makes up for by providing plenty of toppings. They're known for their bubble waffle ice cream combos with 6 different types one can choose from. They are quite filling and need to be eaten fast as the hot waffle melts the ice cream. They give good-sized scoops for $5 for the first scoop and $3 per subsequent. It has a cute interior with a few dining tables available. read more

Food is fine, overpriced ($6+ for a waffle?!?!) but it's okay. Not the best but will satisfy your sweet tooth I guess. Cookies and cream was mediocre. The main issue is how dirty the place is. They make no effort to clean tables or anything. Dingy and dirty, they should really try cleaning and brightening up the place. Bad vibes make me not want to go again. The workers were nice enough so I hope they take this as constructive feedback and not an attack on them. read more

Eiffel in love with the novelty of the concept: bubble waffles colliding with ice cream and various toppings! ... but it fell short of expectations, primarily bc the bubble waffles were quite dry and chewy. This was definitely the case when eaten alone, and description still applicable (though more palatable) when combined with ice cream. The waffle cone was not as crisp and crunchy as expected or desired. It had a slight chew to it. I was pleasantly (haha) overwhelmed by the 30+ flavors to choose from in every color of the rainbow. I landed on the classic Java chip, which had wonderful coffee flavor and big chunks of chocolate. I noted the ice cream was ever so slightly gummy. You know, when you get that pull when you scoop it with your spoon that you're accustomed to seeing when you pick up a slice of pizza. Perhaps a bit too much stabilizer in the recipe. Mini 1 got her go-to cookies 'n cream, and mini 2 was sold on the blue Cookie Monster colored cosmic cookie ice cream. I taste tested both these flavors, and they were on point. The kids' build your own bubble waffle is a decent value at $6. That + a scoop in a waffle cone with 1 topping + a 5oz (very generous) scoop in a cup + 2 bottles of water left me $24 lighter. Colorful walls, menu, options, ice creams, and concept! I'd recommend giving it a try once if in the area, and hopefully the waffles are fresher on your visit. Au revoir! read more

I always drive past this place in Bolingbrook and finally got around to trying it! It was pretty crowded for a Friday night but they have plenty of outdoor seating and the service was relatively quick all things considered. I split the fruity pebble waffle with my friend and the portion was plenty to share! It gave the vibe of a deconstructed ice cream cone with vanilla ice cream and toppings:) I didn't feel it was overly sweet either which was amazing. Will visit again soon! read more

Wow! Great spot with so many options for treats. Kind staff, good service and fun vibe. Really enjoyed the treats but you can definitely split one for 2-3 people. They are huge!

Eiffel Waffle - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Checked out Eiffel Waffle during grand opening. I had dinner at a nearby restaurant so it was perfect dessert opportunity. Found this place trending on Instagram and wanted to check it out since I love bubble waffles. Upon entering, place was different than what I had expected from seeing videos. It's got a warehouse brick wall w lighting type of vibe, but wall arts were inviting. It was definitely an ice cream shop with so many different flavors. For an indecisive person like it, it was quite overwhelm but luckily picture menus on the wall helped. I ordered: Biscuit monstre "Cookie Monster" $9: cosmic cookie ice cream topped w fudge, cookie dough, Oreos & strawberries Ice cream flavor was really good because I love cookie dough & Oreos. Strawberries was a good tart hint to sweet ice cream. Ice cream was kept at a cold temperature so it didn't melt even after I had taken photos (haha!). As far as bubble waffles, one should expect it gets soggy after being in touch w ice cream. After finishing my ice cream & top portion of bubble waffle, I threw out the bottom because it was way too sweet. Portion is really huge for one person. There were many employees, perhaps due to grand opening but I didn't necessarily feel welcomed. Many were hanging around and talking to each other. There were more employees than customers at the time I went around 7pm on Friday night. Would I go out of my way to come here? No. Would I come back again if I'm in the area and craving for ice cream? Yes. read more

Food: Ice cream was good, bubble waffle was great. The only real down side for the food was the proportion of bubble waffle to ice cream was a bit off (too much ice cream). Cost: Slightly on the high side, but the portions are quite large. A build your own bubble waffle was more than enough for two adults. Service: Nothing really to report here. You order and pay at the counter and they call your number when it's ready. Overall: Good experience. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way just to eat here again but I definitely would go if someone suggested it or was already in the area. read more

Eiffel Waffle is a great spot for a unique ice cream treat at a fair price point. We stopped mid-afternoon to try it out and ended up with two build-your-own kiddie waffles because the full size versions looked huge. Our kiddie sized desserts were more than enough! We each got a good sized square of bubble waffle with a very generous scoop of ice cream. Mine was salted caramel, and I added kinder bueno and whipped cream and was given generous amounts. Our waffles came in a little box, which amazingly didn't leak. Our desserts were delicious! The waffle was especially good. The kinder was among several topping options that were more special than you'd normally see. The ice cream was pretty good, not great - but the waffle is the star of the show. The size was generous for the price. They were pretty rich and filling, so this probably won't be a regular stop, but it is definitely on the short list for a special treat or a place to bring visiting friends and family. read more

Best waffle ice cream cone in the entire world! Filled with so much rich flavor and color to the eye. Eiffel Waffle, located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood is one of those places you have to come to try the desserts, you have the option to make your own creations, your imagination is the limit. As you enter the place you are greeted by the friendly staff and the good smell of all colorful flavor hits your nose. So many option to choose from but for me, i kept it simple. Specially because i have a weakness for chocolate. I order the Night in Paris Waffle It made of Bubble waffle cone with double chocolate peanut butter ice cream topped with kinder bar, chocolate chips, hot fudge, whip cream. What an incredible chocolate delight treat for the eyes, taste buds and soul. The waffle was very crispy and delicate, the Ice cream was sweet and melting in your hands. from the presentation to the taste this was not just a dessert but it felt like a delicacy. Alone or with someone this is definitely a date night dessert place. The waffle cone I got was way too much for one person, but worth it every bite. The drive is not too far if you are coming from the city and the prices are average for ice cream. This will definitely be a place to come back again. read more

So cute! They have a wide variety of flavored ice cream choices. My daughter had the cookie dough and I tried the cherry vanilla. Both good. Tip- these desserts are enormous. Go for the kids size for $6 - the kids size with a giant scoop of ice cream served in half a soft Belgium like waffle topped with whipped cream and a topping of your choice ( we went with the fresh strawberries). Even the kid size seemed large. The waffle was delicious and decadent. Worth the splurge- would return. read more

Tasty, fast, not a bad price & staff was super attentive. I'm definitely coming back and bringing friends

Tried this place for the first time. Ice cream is fire, great quality. Didn't get a chance to try the sorbet, next time. We ordered the Eiffel minis with chocolate ganache ice cream, strawberry & bananas; kiddie build your own waffle -cookies and cream ice cream, hot fudge, and M&Ms; and waffle Towers (3 count!) Oreo avalanche with cookie dough ice cream. Decadent for sure! The Eiffel Mimi's could have used some texture, very chocolatey. We much prefer the Asian bubble waffles that have more of hollow center. These bubble waffles are more doughy/cakey and seemed like a cinnamon essence. Would come back for ice cream/sorbet only next time. read more

Amazing shop! Great flavors and warm waffles! It's a regular summer stop for me and my wife, often after the gym (ironically ). Sam is also great, very helpful and friendly! read more

This place was such a vibe from the moment you walk in. The music playing was so on point and everyone in the store was singing their hearts out (including myself, guilty!) The staff was very helpful with ordering and being knowledgeable about the products. They were great with recommendations as well. While we waited for our desserts to be made, the staff was engaging and provided excellent customer service. Once our food was ready there was plenty of seating throughout. The only reason this place did not get 5 stars is because the bathrooms could really use a deep clean or remodel. I opened the door and immediately changed my mind about having to go to the bathroom. I didn't get a chance to really look at what was going on but it looks extremely dirty but it could be that it just hasn't been remodeled in a while. Regardless, I preferred to wait 30 minutes to get home than go in there. Desserts we had: Cini Minis - explosion of cinnamon which was really good but you have to be in a cinnamon mood for sure (I wasn't but my fiancé was and he said it was perfect!) The Flinstone (minis): an explosion of fruity flavors from your childhood in every bite. If nostalgia had a taste, this would be it. It comes topped with ice cream and it creates the perfect warm and cool desserts combo that I just could not put down. I could've done without the syrup because it was VERY sweet and I had a sugar rush/high afterwards. Comes with condensed milk,syrup, fruity pebbles, ice cream, and of course the mini bubble waffles/pancakey things. 10 stars / 5 stars Decently priced & such a great experience thanks to the staff. Aesthetically pleasing place where you can get some cute content for the 'gram. Will definitely be back but I will make sure to use the restroom elsewhere beforehand/afterwards. read more

Ordered food and 20 minutes later cancelled it saying "we can't fulfill". Doesn't make sense

I like ice cream and I like waffles. That means Eiffel Waffle makes a lot of sense for me. With a lot of unique flavors and large serving sizes, it's also a pretty good deal. That being said, it's also pretty slow. I think it was a case of too many cooks in the kitchen because there was a lot of staff but not much was moving quickly. Otherwise, this was a good experience. read more

The Nutella Strawana was so good! The warm mini waffles with the ice cream just brought everything together. The staff was average. The venue was nice. We didn't have to wait long for our order. My only con is that they serve items as small and medium but they come in the same box. The cashier was kind enough to explain that if is based on the number of waffles you receive, not the box. Overall, I have to try this place, again. read more

As soon as I walked in, I waited 10 minutes for someone to even speak with me and say "I'll be with you in a moment" - the store wasn't busy. The ice cream itself was stale, chalky, and overall had a nasty aftertaste. The cone was really chewy, and I paid extra for a waffle cone. The reason for that is because the cone was on a display and had been sitting out all day ... so it was really stale. Overall would not recommend. They also dont answer phones (I tried to call and get a refund for my food being stale) read more

I absolutely love this place. It's my go to for a first date. This location, in particular, is my favorite. Eric and Justin are amazing. Trust me, the location makes a HUGE difference. I made the mistake of going to the one by Chicago Ridge once and I was soooooo disappointed, it was horrible. They didn't add my bananas for my banana split and they were very unsanitary. I normally get the same thing every time I go. A banana split with three scoops of ice cream(cake batter, vanilla, and this cherry vanilla favor but I'm blanking on the name) hold the whipped cream/sprinkles, chocolate, add Biscoff butter, pecans and strawberries--chefs kiss! read more

I ordered a fruity peebles shake. The flavor was okay, but really didn't taste like fruity pebbles. They do add fruity pebbles to the inside of the shake and the top. The best part of the shake was the little waffle piece that they put in the it, it was absolutely amazing! Initially I thought the $9 was a bit pricey, but it turned out to be more than enough shake. The service was quick, but it was a Monday and there wasn't a line. The inside had a really cool vibe. The top of the walls have paint that looks like dripping ice cream. They have a small eating area in the front and a bigger eating area in the back. The dining area was clean and well maintained. The biggest down side of the environment was the bathroom. The bathroom was really dirty and the toliet had left over body excrement. I would like to go back and try their waffle comes because they looked awesome and that was the part of the experience I really enjoyed. read more

My bubble waffle was pretty good - hard to mess anything up when it's covered in Nutella and kinder bueno. The strawberries were good too but the bananas were underripe and I couldn't eat them. Also I ordered it in a cone so it could be handheld, but it came in a flat box. My friends said the shakes were good but very sugary. The place had potential to be really cute but we went at night and the windows out front were so dirty, it was a bit unappealing and made me question the cleanliness of the whole place. Staff were nice and hardworking! read more

Great food and place to pick up food but they are severely short staffed and have one very slow guy doing everything from taking orders to making them.

Cute little place with a unique spin! Ice cream was yummy, plenty of room to sit and enjoy it, and service was good!

I love this place for dessert! I have minor lactose intolerance and while I love ice cream and shakes with my family, it is nice to have non dairy variety. I am a huge fan of being able to get the waffles and I am a big fan of the Mount Sprinkle Waffle Tower. It's so good warm and fresh but I recently realized, it is great reheated as leftovers as well. The staff is fast and nice and bonus, when it is cold outside, there is no line! I highly recommend checking out this place year-round, if you are too cold for ice cream, try the waffles. read more

Just simply not good. It is surely a cool concept and smells good inside and the prices are OK but the product itself is bad. Looks good, tastes bad. We ordered the crem de la crème waffle and a brownie batter milkshake. The milkshake tasted like chemicals to the point that I had to throw it away after only a couple of sips. The crem de la crème had an overpowering taste of maple syrup and not even a hint of caramel. In this neighborhood with other options, I'd recommend the other options. I'll try this place again in a few months in hopes that the quality control is better. read more

YUM! One of my new favorite dessert spots. I love the variety they have with their ice cream and toppings.

Came in here with my kids yesterday the place was beautiful inside, Very vivid and inviting. The icecream was ridiculously good!! I had the Mediterranean salted caramel pretzel and it was one of the best icecreams I have ever had, combine it with a waffle and I wouldn't mind having that for the rest of my life. The only downside was the staff.... way too many employees there having loud conversations, a few curse words here n there and some that really looked like they absolutely did not want to be there. It was truly uncomfortable... The girl that took care of us was really sweet tho. Would I come back inside I don't think so... maybe uber eat or Doordash. read more
