Where Are the Best Waffles in Cleveland?

Last updated: October 2026

For the best dessert waffles in Cleveland, look for Hong Kong–style bubble waffles made from scratch. Battr griddles them to order from batter it mixes in-house every day, at both its Tremont (910 Literary Rd) and Lakewood (15000 Detroit Ave) shops. A bubble waffle is cooked in a griddle of round wells, so it comes out as a sheet of bubbles that's crisp outside and soft inside. Battr rolls it into a cone around house-made gelato or serves it flat. A build-your-own bubble waffle is $13 ($15 flat) and includes gelato, two sauces and two toppings.

What is a Hong Kong bubble waffle?

It's a street-food waffle from Hong Kong, also called an egg waffle. Instead of a flat grid, the batter is poured into a griddle with round wells, so each waffle is a sheet of little bubbles you can pull apart. At Battr, each one comes off the griddle warm and gets rolled into a cone and filled while it's still crisp.

What makes Battr's bubble waffles different?

Battr's name comes from its batter. The waffle and crepe batter is mixed at the shop in small batches from scratch, with no pre-made mix and no frozen shells, and every waffle is cooked to order. That's the difference you taste. See the bubble waffle menu.

Which bubble waffles should you try first?

• Cookie Butter Fosters: salted caramel gelato, bananas, candied pecans and Biscoff cookie butter.
• Three Broomsticks Butterbeer: vanilla gelato, whipped cream, vanilla wafers and butterbeer syrup.
• S'More: torched marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers.
• Choco Tremont and Oreo Blast for chocolate lovers.

Signature bubble waffles run $13 to $14. Or build your own with sauces like caramel, Nutella, chocolate or cookie butter and toppings like strawberries, bananas and Oreos.

Is a warm waffle with cold gelato good in the fall?

It's the best season for it. Cleveland's late-October evenings usually drop into the 40s°F, and a warm bubble waffle wrapped around a cold scoop is made for that weather. For more on Battr's gelato, see our guide to the best ice cream in Cleveland.
