    Matcha and lychee ice cream, 2 scoops
    Sydney J.

    I stopped by wanting to get some dessert and sampled multiple ice cream flavors. The cardamom pistachio has real pistachio in it, the matcha is rich and so is the Thai tea, the lychee is good and really does taste like the fruit. I ultimately opted for a 2 scoop of lychee and matcha. They do have many pretty good ice cream flavors, so I recommend trying them out. Service isn't usually that fast though, so be prepared for that if you show up and there are other customers already.

    They serve Mitchell's ice cream, and have a wide selection of flavors. It's a very hip little shop. - 4.0/5: Double Chocolate waffle with coffee, caramel drizzle, and graham crumble. The waffle itself has a muted flavor; it's mostly for texture to accompany the ice cream.

    Thai Tea Ice Cream Scoop
    Mary Y.

    Was pleasantly surprised with Gadani's unique flavors. Some flavors that stood out were Ube, Matcha, Lychee, and Thai Tea (which I got). They had more classic flavors such as Vanilla, Mint, and Coffee too. I just got a single scoop but their egg waffle combo looked VERY enticing. The shop is on the smaller side but there are a couple seats by the window and additional seating out the store front. The girl who served us was super nice, it was Valentine's weekend and she was the only one handling the rush of all the orders. We had to wait due to the amount of customers but she was sweet and I didn't personally mind waiting. Would come again!

    Updating our review to add photos! 6 months post-wedding and our guests still rave about this dessert

    Hojicha ice cream, double chocolate egg waffle, Oreo crumb
    Tasha H.

    Cute shop and very friendly service. The ice cream flavors are really fun and unique! I loved the hojicha. The egg waffle isn't the best - big air pockets and not a lot of chocolate flavor. But the price is reasonable and it's a tasty dessert!

    This review is more for the egg waffles: I really liked their egg waffles! Super crispy, but I think they needed more batter...they weren't fluffy it felt more like a chip consistency? Other than that service was awesome and the ambience was cute and cozy.

    Chocolate waffle with lychee ice cream, chocolate drizzle and cookie crumble

    Very good . I had the chocolate waffle with lychee ice cream. It was my first time trying lychee ice cream and I loved it

    James H.

    I had Gadani bookmarked for awhile and finally had a chance to try it on a recent Saturday night before closing. The hours on Yelp page are wrong, they close at 10 pm on Saturdays. Small little shop with a small seating area. They have a lot to choose from for desserts. They also sell a bunch of hand crafted items too. Street parking only The service was nice and don't forget the 10% off check in. The gelato melted quick but blueberry cheesecake was good.

    churro waffle with ube ice cream
    Sharon H.

    I ordered a churro waffle with ube ice cream and caramel and graham crumbs as my toppings. It was so good. The ube flavor was strong and creamy. I love that Gadani has unique flavors! The churro waffle was also a very subtle churro taste. It wasn't burnt and was the perfect soft-crunchy ratio. Service was good but there's only 1 worker so it takes a while to receive your order. Ambiance is cute and a good place to hang with friends.

    chocolate Ice Cream Combo
    Angelina L.

    such a heavenly combo with the hot & fresh egg waffle + the rich & creamy chocolate ice cream! solid spot for anyone with a sweet tooth

    Angela W.

    Love the aesthetic here and the flavors of ice cream that they have - the ube was solid. It's a small store, and all the workers were very sweet. Two things: 1. I'm not sure the value was there for around $12 total (ice cream + egg waffle). The reason for this is 2. I don't think my egg waffle was completely cooked? The inside of each bubble was a little too mushy to seem right...It wasn't a total deal-breaker - the outside was crispy and overall it still had the chewy inside texture. The entire order comes in a cup, which makes it seem and look like a lot more than it actually is - it feels like you're paying more for the aesthetic than for the taste. Would I come again? Maybe to try their drinks. For their ice cream and egg waffles? Probably not.

    Lovely hidden gem. Egg tart ice cream what a selection! No bathroom with limited seating. Other than that, delicious!

    double chocolate waffle + hojicha ice cream
    Elaine C.

    I was super excited to try out Gadani after looking at the reviews and photos on Yelp. The egg puff waffle had crunchy bits but was soft on the insides and even had mini spots of chocolate in it. The hojicha (dark roasted green tea) ice cream was so tasty and went really well with the chocolate waffle. My only complaint was that it melted too quickly! I asked for rose petals and graham cracker crumbs as toppings but only received the latter on my ice cream combo. The seating options are limited and not super comfortable; it's definitely more of an order to-go cafe. There was only one worker who seemed to be multitasking at everything, making it a bit of a wait (~10 minutes). However, I enjoyed my visit and will be back to try their other ice cream flavors and drinks. Note that they are closed on Mon/Tues and typically do not open until 4:30 pm the rest of the week.

The young worker was so patient & helpful with recommendations that it made the whole experience that more enjoyable. Out of the 2 samples I tried, I ended with the Meyer Lemon. Samples: Cherry Cheesecake which I thought had an icy instead of a creamy texture so I didn't choose this one. Honey Rose & I mostly tasted the honey & no essence of rose, so I decided to pass. Without sampling the Meyer Lemon bc the worker recommended this, I just chose it. The Meyer Lemon was refreshing & had a creamy texture. It was perfect with the fresh waffle cone. I'm ready to try more flavors the next time I stop by.

The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

Location is on Shattuck near the Downtown Berkeley BART station as well as several AC Transit bus stops. There are also a handful metered parking spots out front. Inside is on the smaller side with a couple of seats available but very cutesy and inviting nonetheless. My go-to favorites from their menu are the strawberry funnel cake and cheesecake caramel apples. The mini size of the strawberry funnel cake ($8.50) is the perfect serving size for one. The funnel cake itself is crispy and fried to perfection, and the strawberries add a lovely freshness. The homemade whipped cream they pile on top is miles above canned whipped cream. Personally, I like to also add fruity pebbles as an extra topping for a nice crunch! The cheesecake caramel apples ($10.50) are dipped in a layer of caramel, then another layer of cheesecake flavored coating, and finished off with a graham cracker-like crumb coating. They are tart yet decadent, making them absolutely addictive. I appreciate too how they include an option for having the apple be cut up into slices when ordering. One day I'll try the strawberry cheesecake apple :) I do have to say though that service is pretty nonexistent here, but honestly I don't really mind especially as an introvert lol.
