Review Black Waffle - Northcote

When I tell you I love ice cream - I eat it everyday. And black waffle, is by far - my absolutely favourite place to get ice cream. Amazing consistency, great taste and lovely customer service. Here are just a few photos ♥️ My fave place always

Beautiful place for vegan and gluent free ice cream selection. Went with hazelnut and charcoal vanilla which was superb. Their selection of other desserts and cakes is quite a variety too. Staff are friendly and it's in a vibey area.

If you haven't gone here, you need to! Amazing flavours and choices. Being lactose intolerant I haven't had much choice of Ice cream. But at Black Waffle I have the choice of amazing flavours I haven't had in a long time. I even got my birthday cake here.

Lovely little ice creamery and gelato shop. Recommend the charcoal vanilla.

Go here for the ice cream and not for the atmosphere. The ice cream is good but inside the acoustics seem to amplify conversation and make the place seem quite loud even when it isn't that busy. Multiple gluten free and vegan options.

An amazing place to visit with family and loved ones. The ice cream was perfect so does the waffle - Wonderland. Coated with chocolate syrup and strawberries. The plate was decorated with edible flowers, marshmallows, sprinkles, and powder sugar. The warm waffle was perfect with the vanilla ice cream. This mouth-watering dessert was only $14 and it is worth the price. The restaurant was exceptionally clean. The only problem was that the place was under staff. They have an amazing number of clients rushing to the store so if they could increase the staff, they could get more clients and able to serve better. Overall, I recommend this place for anyone who is craving for a sweet dessert.

I'm not sure what batter or dough they used for waffles, but I seriously struggled to finish it off. Two stars because drinks were fine and can't complain about toppings.

Ooh yum, I love ice cream .. especially different flavours. Black Waffle surely offers that. Charcoal Vanilla that's black .. yup, black! A black waffle cone (hence the shop name). There is caramel and macadamia nut ice cream, citrus ricotta flavour and lemon orange ginger flavour and of course bubblegum! Lovely little cafe because they not only sell ice cream; cakes, pancakes and coffee are also on the menu. Fabulous place for after dinner desserts! Highly recommended

A surprise gem in the heart of Northcote, this dessert cafe is not one to be missed! As soon as we entered we were greeted with lovely staff and could instantly see the delicious sweet treats on display. We wish we could’ve managed to squeeze in some treats and cookies but we had to save room for the main items - will definitely be returning though! <br/><br/>The Belgian waffles were fluffy and rich on the inside but had a gorgeous crunch on the outside that went perfectly with the banana, cream and ice cream. A devilishly rich breakfast treat packed with sweetness. The ice cream was beautifully rich and chocolatey.<br/><br/>So much flavour was packed into the Nutella croissant. It was full of rich Nutella which nicely complimented the creamy vanilla gelato! The sliced banana and Oreo crumble added extra flavour which tied in beautifully! Such a filling hearty dish that was worth every calorie!<br/><br/>The berry smoothie bowl was a nice dish to balance out the other chocolatey desserts we ordered so we stayed somewhat healthy! The toppings were beautifully presented and the whole dish was extremely refreshing and tasted naturally sweet.

Best gelato in town but other items are not to the same standard.

The salted dark chocolate ice cream was AMAZING

Visited here with my friends around 9PM one night. It was so good this place opens late so we can easily stop by without worrying they might close or kick us out soon. The ambience was relaxing and nice. Interior was quite spacey, which was good. The people were really nice and always smiling--even when we took so long to choose our flavors, they still bore with us.We had two scoops of ice cream and a Butterbing, which we added on top. We really enjoyed the ice cream--texture was nice, like gelato. The Butterbing itself was amazing as well. Definitely a great place to visit.

Nice waffle with friendly staff service. Lots of ice cream choices

We ordered some lovely thickshakes here on a hot day but we were shocked to find them served with plastic straws! especially given that metal straws are sold at the counter. This level of hypocrisy is disappointing, i strongly suggest you move to reusables considering you are trying to falsely market yourselves as eco friendly

Works for us. Mighty warm night and we stumbled on this place for a post dinner ice cream. It was going off. Smallish range here but what they had was very good. I’d happily return.

Always a great way to start a meal or end a meal with the best ice cream in the area always love go their to hit my cravings out of the place.

Located in High St Northcote Black Waffle is a place that fills your dessert needs! When we visited we tried the Hazelnut Heaven Waffles and couldn’t go without trying this amazing range of gelato flavours. We tried Lemon meringue pie and also Dark Choc and Beuno. Loved the taste of each flavour and you could definitely tell they were made in house. <br/>We thank Black Waffle for our delicious desserts. All of our opinions are genuine and are based on our experience at the time of our visit.

They don’t have flavors listed up on the wall so you have to wait for everyone else to finish ordering before you can see what they have. I got mint chip and dark chocolate in a black cone (both vegan). Mint chip tasted like I was eating breath mints. Dark chocolate tasted like unsweetened baking chocolate. I didn’t even finish because I got the stomach ache you get if you have too many mints. Maybe the other flavors are better but I wouldn’t know because the staff was no help at all with recommendations.

Black Waffles in the only place you should visit for beautiful waffles with insane toppings! <br/>Not only do they serve up incredible waffles, they also have amazing vegan and gluten free gelati, Italian cannoli, a dessert bar and more vegan and gluten free cake options! <br/>We opted for the lemon curd and raspberry waffle and a ricotta cannoli and absolutely loved it! This place is perfect for a late night snack or a fun weekend spot to visit.

Lots of creative and delicious desserts. I like how their icecream is creamy and not overly sweet. Interesting flavours such as dragonfruit, lemon ricotta, and charcoal vanilla.

The experience here did not live up to the hype. We really did not enjoy our drinks or treats. The service was also suboptimal. Not likely to return.

It made me so happy to see gluten-free sweet treat options as soon as I walked in! They also have a delicious selection of ice cream. The sticky date pudding I had was so scrummy! Lovely little spot for coffee and cake.

I come in here more than I would care to admit....<br/>I do sometimes feel they could vary the flavours up a little more but overall always pretty yum and as I said.. I keep going back sooooo.. ya..yum

If yummy desserts and ice cream are your game, then you have to get yourself to Black Waffle in Northcote. This big, open space is dessert paradise with the most delicious homemade waffles served in a variety of different ways. Crispy and fluffy with delicious toppings, I really love the waffles here.<br/><br/>There is also great ice cream and cakes, as well as fabulous coffee. The service is always good and the staff are friendly too. It's popular with locals too, especially on weekends when it can definitely get busier. A really nice place for a sweet treat.

I was disappointed by the entire experience. My uncle from Qld was in Melbourne for the weekend and I was keen for him to try something new (plus he is a fan of waffles) - so I thought this would be perfect. It was just before lunch, so it was relatively quiet. Beautiful venue, we were greeted at the door. We ordered coffee and waffles, of course. Cappuccinos came out ice cold, I went to speak to the employees but some were sitting behind the counter on their phones and the other was walking back and forth.. so I let it go as we had a busy schedule and couldn’t wait. Our waffle came out shortly after and the waffle itself looked store bought. Ice cold and had no flavour. We couldn’t save anything as there was no one around to speak to. Will not be going back this place anytime soon.

Good waffles with nice flavours and nice presentation. Service was good for a place where you have to get up to order and get your own water/drinks. Yet very pricy for what you get. Payed $15 for 1 waffle with a scoop of ice cream and some sauce. Payed $18 for 2 waffles, scoop of ice cream and some berries. The waffles themselves were quite small which is disappointing since I have been here previously and they were significantly bigger. Fair to say I would come back for the waffles as they were nice, yet the price encourages me to find somewhere else to try.

Kidd' fave. Fantastic ice creams, one of the good places in Northcote. Coffee is not bad also. The window seats are great for people watching while eating their treats.

THE BEST ICE CREAM! <br/><br/>I had heard amazing things about black waffle mainly because of their decadent desserts! I went in to try some of their ice cream and my word are their flavours awesome. They have everything from carrot cake to charcoal. Most of them are vegan too! Which is a bonus for me as Dairy doesn’t agree with me. <br/><br/>I went for the carrot cake and the peanut butter Oreo ice cream. Holy moly. They changed my world. So tasty, smooth texture. Really ace.<br/><br/>I had a hot chocolate too and it was quite honestly one of the best I’ve had in Melbourne. It was smooth, creamy and not too rich. <br/><br/>I will be back time and time again.

Staff here were polite and friendly and had a smile on their face the whole time and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. <br/>The ice cream is absolutely delicious, I had Caramel crunch and fell in love. My friend had the hazelnut heaven waffles and they were to die for! Couldn’t recommend Black Waffle high enough! Will definitely be returning.

Upon entering the shop the staff immediately greeted me enthusiastically! Wonderful atmosphere! Delicious homemade gelatos 😩!! Passion fruit, Caramel crunch and Nutella gelato are my favourites😍

Anytime is ice cream time and when the girlies suggested we check out Black Waffle. What we didn’t know was that it serves up vegan ice cream. Now, usually we run from the hills when something is vegan because I adore my dairy despite being lactose intolerant. BUT when the girlies said it’s pretty darn good, I had to check it out myself.

One of few ice cream shops in the area <br/>No complaints <br/>Not too many flavors to choose from but sometimes that’s better <br/>Staff were friendly <br/>Big inside so can sit and enjoy <br/>

I had been eyeing black waffle for their bubblegum flavoured gelato , but soon enough they got GOT themed gelatos, and the THRONE nerd in me couldn’t wait any longer.<br/>So we ended up ordering the <br/>▪️Bubblegum <br/>▪️Night king flavoured gelato 🍦 <br/><br/>The bubblegum flavoured icecream tasted a lot like the chewing gum #boomer i used to have as a kid, good amount of sweet and strawberry flavoured.<br/> <br/>But the game changer was definitely the NIGHT KING (VEGAN CHARCOAL VANILLA) with DRAGON GLASS 🐉. Yes my friend, you heard that one right. And honestly i first didnt realise the dragon glass until after the whole ice cream was done😅<br/>But that is just so clever, whoever came with that brilliant idea @blackwafflemelbourne next time i come to the store i wanna meet you 😍<br/><br/>Also since we were there we thoughtof ordering something out of them menu.<br/>We took the<br/>▪️Oreo Nutella Croissant <br/>Which was a well baked CRISPY toasted croissant filled with abundance of Nutella and a load of Oreo crumble with vanilla gelato on the side and it was like a COMBO MADE IN HEAVEN. It is the best croissant combo i had in a really long time. And did i mention how crispy the croissant was. Pure bliss.<br/><br/>▪️Hazelnut heaven <br/>It was a waffle combo with fresh strawberries nicely roaster hazelnut crumbs nutella and vanilla gelato. But the waffles were kind of a disappointment for me. They had a dough like structure inside out. I felt that the outer crispness to the waffles were missing to this dish. Rest everything was just on point. <br/><br/><br/>Overall i really had a great time at the Black Waffle and i would be coming back for more.

Very nice place with different variety.<br/>Don’t forget to try Bubble gum ice cream. Staff is very polite and they gave suggestion as well and if we do not want on dish and need on separate as u can see we ordered everything seperate then we can.<br/>So overall 5* from me.

Lovely local coffee shop making an awesome cafe latte. Super friendly male who I see there often, I’m guessing he is one of the owners? All the staff are lovely and when I do indulge in a cheeky gelato this is my go to place! The chocolate ripple is to die for.

The service here is so friendly and super quick! These guys run a tight ship and you can tell by the team, they enjoy their job! I’m a local and whether I’m coming here for a quiet coffee away from the kids for an hour or bringing my extended family in for gelato on a friday night; we always leave satisfied. The quality of the food is fantastic and they use real Ingredients. The best icecream on high street

first time to come here to ate waffle . bit the taste is too much sugar n ice cream is over sugar n not suggestion come here . n waffles is not fresh

Staffs were very friendly, have options for vegan, but the ice cream and waffle are way too sweet and nothing special, need to focus on the quality more.

The two owners of this cafe out to audition for mean girls. Don’t that know that it’s a rule of business to treat locals politely. After all who will sustain them over winter when ice cream sales plummet. Not me and my mates that’s for sure!

Good late night dessert place in Northcote as its open until 11.30pm. Thickshakes are yummy and they have a great range of Vegan treats that are all fairly delicious. Only thing I will say is that the price isn't necessarily worth it, its very overpriced.

After an average meal nearby, we needed some dessert and were seduced by the Zomato rating. We went for the hazelnut waffles which looked amazing but we found to be too doughy. Pretty on the plate but very average to eat. This was a bit of a failure.

Stunning ambiance, friendly staff and delicious waffles. The menu looked so great I dint know what to choose. I’ll defiantly be back very soon!

I don't think words can describe how excited I am to find a place that sells vegan ice cream that is soy-based rather than coconut, being the hater of coconut that I am. It helps that it's all very tasty - I had the mint chocolate chip flavor as well as some waffles and now pine for it every time I'm up north. I'll be back again soon...

Awesome place to head if you’re after a sweet night! Open until 11.30pm, this place provides the goods - gelato, croissants, waffles, drinks etc<br/><br/>We went for the waffles & ordered 1 x wonderland w/ vanilla gelato, 1 x wonderland with hazelnut gelato & 1 x Lemon Shortbread w/ bueno gelato. <br/><br/>Unfortunately our waffles were burnt and therefore hard to cut through. It may have just been the batch we got but sadly all our waffles were the same! However, the toppings of the waffles were generous & tasty. The highlight was the delicious gelato they have!<br/><br/>Do note: I took a video of the lemon shortbread for SnapChat (of course) and in turn forgot the photo!

One of the greatest grown and made Northside Thickshakes known to man(and woman)!<br/><br/>Worth contracting diabeetus for gelato density squared in a milk bottle.<br/><br/>$9 buck shake is worth the splurge.  <br/><br/>Has the potential to bring world peace.

Mixed feelings here, I ordered waffles, not knowing the place was vegan at the time and assumed that the underdone dry biscuits were some sort of new Melbourne trend.<br/><br/>I appreciate that they are offering a genuine vegan option - the ice cream was fine; but the waffles did not work for me. Sad to say, I left them half eaten. Good atmosphere and service, and other items at the counter looked good; but I can only rate on what I had, hence the low score.

We were in the area looking for a spot for dessert and came across Black Waffle. All the desserts here are vegan, and they had a wide range of waffles and ice creams. We tried the citrus ricotta waffle and it was good. A generous serve, with lots of pretty touches and textural bits. The ice cream was creamy and tasty and totally surprised given it is without milk. IMHO, I do still prefer a crunchy traditional waffle, and the texture of the waffle here is just not the same. I would come back here for the ice creams though on the black waffle cones - these looked really yum!

Ice cream was nice but waffle so dry outside and soggy inside,not good at all.pretty presentation though<br/>Coffee was normal.friendly service.<br/><br/>

Speciality : waffles and ice cream. I came here for cake and hot drink. Friendly service . Delicious NY cheesecake . Excellent thick and smooth hot chocolate . Will be back to try other items.

Great spot for vegan treats when I'm in the area. Tried the waffles first, which are a bit gummy and heavy (as many vegan waffles are), but tasty nonetheless. Only complaint is that vegan options simply remove certain ingredients rather than swapping for vegan counterparts. I prefer going here for a cone, of which there are several great ones. The choc mint is a favourite.

Ice cream and waffles are delicious, and staff are very friendly. Love the ambience, but the actual place was very 'echoey' if that makes sense - could barely hear myself think and there wasn't anyone within three tables of us.

😱Lizzie’s first impression: first time i tried these waffles and they were delicious! <br/><br/>🍩Lizzie enjoyed: I loved the bananas for Nutella waffle and the wonderland waffle - it was so fluffy but crunchy at the same time - they also give a generous amount of ice cream and plenty of flavour from the condiments. <br/><br/>🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: it’s a little far out of the city but definitely worth trying if you’re a waffle fan! <br/><br/>🥇Lizzie rates overall: a great place for dessert - definitely worth trying if in the neighbourhood.

The strawberry waffles here were SOOOO GOOOD!! Crunchy, not too sweet and served with amazing flavourful gelato! Best waffles I’ve ever had. Would definitely come back! <br/>

Visited here today on a Tuesday afternoon and tried the vegan waffles with Oreos, strawberries and chocolate sorbet. This really satisfied my sweet tooth however I recommend sharing as it can be a bit too much for one person! There are plenty of tables, spacious interior, self serve water and order at the counter. Staff are friendly. Would come back to try the non vegan waffles.

Quality Icecream, many amazing flavours to choose from making it take a while for you to decide on your order! The caramel cookie crunch is a crowd pleaser, it's definitely Speculoos flavour but I guess they thought people wouldn't know what that was. Located on high street it's the perfect place to grab desert after a nice dinner out!

Delicious ice cream had to go back days after my first visit! The first time I went for 1 scoop Bueno 1 scoop Carmel crunch only to realise the Carmel crunch was filled with crushed speculaas biscuit and how it contains no dairy had me scratching my head, the second time I just had to send it and get 2 scoops of Carmel crunch ( which should be renamed to speculaas crunch) stacked on a black waffle cone, and I had no regrets 👍

Nice local place for desserts and ice cream! I usually have dinner around the area and then pop by here after for dessert. Opens late which is good!

Tasty af ice cream with the flavours constantly changing. If you have the opportunity to try the bueno or caramel crunch flavour we highly recommend it! They also serve coffee and cakes making it an all round great dessert spot!

such a cute ice cream shop in Northcote! <br/><br/>I had the charcoal vanilla flavour ice cream and i was so excited to try it knowing it was gluten free AND they have gluten free cones which is a <br/>big tick for me! overall the flavour was amazing and something different i have never tried! also have to mention that they had heaps of gluten free options to choose from, another big tick from me!<br/><br/>staff were friendly and quick to serve :)

Very slow customer service(they are unpacked). And I’ve ordered a babyccino for my child. It was cold milk and little bit of foam milk. Very disappointment. I will not coming back.

I ordered the hazel nut waffles and a mixed berry smoothie. The smoothie was so good I ordered another. <br/>The waffles were nicely presented. But I found the waffles themselves to be a bit to dry for my liking.

I don’t understand how this shop can get a 4+ points. Ordered a lemon shortbread waffle n a tiramisu. The waffle is so dense n thick. U need to use a lot of force to cut it through. U called yourself black waffle, but u can’t make good waffle.<br/>Tiramisu is something I would throw in the bin. The cake probably stayed in a fridge for a while, there is a freezer taste on it. U needa clean ur fridge more often.

Came in on a busy Saturday night expecting something amazing and we certainly got it. The vibe and atmosphere at Black Waffle was awesome. <br/><br/>Being not as hungry as we usually are we settled on the Banana Crepe with the addition of strawberries. We loved it, the ice cream is to die for and the waffle itself is really tasty, fresh and warm.  It was well portioned and definitely well priced. Our coffees were also splendid and definitely exceeded our expectations. <br/><br/>The vibe and atmosphere at Black Waffle is very good, neither small and cramped nor too big where you feel like you are just trying to fill a small corner in a big establishment.<br/><br/>Overall, I would highly recommend a trip down to this fantastic desert bar!

Food : ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I ordered the hazelnut heaven waffle with a vegan chocolate gelato. The gelato taste very good and match very well with the strawberries but I was disappointed by the waffle. A bit too chewy. <br/>The pistachio and hazelnut gelatos on black cornet were good but not outstanding <br/>Price : ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Average for this kind of dessert <br/>Service : ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Quick service <br/>Ambience : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good atmosphere, great place

(Disclaimer: True rating would be 3.5 however on Zomato this is closer to a 3).<br/>As per usual, we visited the cafe in the morning, looking for a sweet way to start our day. We all ordered the sweetest waffle dishes on the menu. Pallavi went for the ‘Berry Nice Waffles’, which consisted of waffles covered in raspberry jam and topped with mixed berries and custard with vanilla gelato on the side. She really enjoyed the classic flavour combinations that these ingredients provided, however, it’s pretty hard to go wrong when it comes to berries and ice-cream! Pallavi did, however, say that the waffles themselves were a bit chewy, a small textural flaw in an otherwise tasty meal.

These waffles are amazing! Highly recommend this place! Their icecream is amazing also! <br/>Their iced chocolates are made with chocolate icecream, the first time i’ve ever had one made with chocolate icecream instead of vanilla and it was delicious! it’s changed my opinion on iced chocolates for sure!

Black Waffle has a cool vibe yet is big enough that you don't feel cramped. The ice cream is delicious and fairly priced, and the waffles are pretty good if you're up for something a bit sweeter. There are a few ethical options on the menu and the waffles themselves are vegan, albeit a little dear for what you get. All-in-all it's certainly worth a visit.

Waffles were very chewy and not appealing at all, I don’t think they were cooked fresh. Very disappointed as I was expecting light freshly cooked waffles but didn’t eat them. Expensive let down. First time I’ve tried this place so was expecting a lot more.

Really great for a quick catch up or a longer coffee break - there's a good selection of coffee, bagels and desserts. The plain cream cheese bagel is particularly delicious, and I also enjoy the cake selection. The staff are very friendly, and the food caters towards people with dietary requirements (eg. gluten free, vegan) so I find that it's a good option if you're with a group of people that have a wide variety of dietary reqs.

My go to cheat meal on weekend and it is close in midnight! Who’s exciting to go here!?ME !☝🏻️🤙🏻 I ordered hazelnut heaven with chocolate gelato besides it! MEH, diet what diet when you can have all the things that you love in one plate😋 #BHAsFoodDiary

This is the place to go for amazing vegan ice cream, loads of delicious flavours plus vegan waffles and gluten free options as well. Staff were friendly and helpful and the venue is large and inviting! My new favourite ice cream shop!!

Black Waffle’s gelato menu is relatively modest, with around a dozen flavours, including both dairy and non-dairy (vegan) options, changing every couple of months.<br/><br/>Of course we could not pass up the signature black waffle cone. Crisp and inky black, the colour is due to activated charcoal.<br/><br/>Our vote for Black Waffle’s star flavour goes to the citrus ricotta gelato. The hazelnut gelato (studded with whole hazelnuts) and the vegan dark chocolate are also excellent. <br/><br/>With friendly and efficient service, and charming rustic décor, it is a great spot to catch up with friends. The waffles look amazing, and are generously sized – definitely something to try on our next visit.

Came in here and tried the citrus ricotta waffles and was thorouhgly impressed with the flavours, balanced and not too sweet,. Its not something that stands out at you when you look at the menu but its a hidden gem

Wow... my partner and I were so excited to try this place (and really in the mood for dessert at the time).  Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations at all - I'm really not sure why it is rated so highly?  <br/><br/>We had the Hazelnut Heaven and it was underwhelming.  The waffles were under cooked and doughy, the crumb was in abundance but tasted like nothing, the ice cream was nothing special - it tasted like ordinary ice cream you could buy from Coles.  Basically, it was edible but not good.  Maybe the other things on the menu are better, but considering it is a waffle place I think it's pretty unacceptable for the waffles to be the worst part of the meal.   My boyfriend's mum has made much better waffles than this... won't be going back.

Love love love this place! They are delicious and everything you could want from a ‘cheat meal’. Definitely a place to try and I know I have already returned back here 3 times since first visiting!!!

Amazing flavors, even though there are only a dozen, it doesn't make the choice easier.  The ricotta citrus is amazing, especially for the summer flavor.

Hands down one of the best dessert places I've been to in Melbourne. Didn't hesitate to give my first 5 star rating. will definitly go again

Craving some ice cream? Or even waffles? We came here after a tiring game of futsal to grab an ice cream but ended up with some delicious waffles. <br/><br/>Just along the busy high street in northcote is a cute dessert place ! I still want to try their black vanilla ice cream.

I ate vanilla + activated charcoal ice cream. I had to google what activated charcoal was. I didn't know it was a thing. Interesting to try but the dragon fruit ice cream is actually the winner. It was so delicious. I was neither here or there about activated charcoal but I couldn't fault it technically. Great ice cream if you're in the local area.

I've been here a couple of times and service has always been prompt, super friendly and the waffles always consistently good. I've ordered the wonderland and hazelnut heaven waffles, and each time changed the gelato to the dark choc one as I am lactose intolerant. The gelato is superb - even better than the waffles! Presentation is always on point, waffles are fluffy and the toppings all compliment each other so well. Super generous servings too! Always a place I make sure to end my night at if I'm venturing to high street for dinner!

Been here a couple of times but by far the updated menu is a winner! Loved the lemon waffles, not overly sweet and sickening which lemon desserts can sometimes be. Hoping that with further additions to the menu that the prices don’t continue to rise like I have noticed..

Super creamy icecream. The milo flavour was literally like eating out of the tin which was heaven. Would’ve liked to have seen a few more flavours however.

After been waiting on a queque for 10 minutes, I was going to order and a staff member told me that the kitchen just closed 5 minutes ago! Why do you make people wait on a queque without letting them know or advertise somewhere that the kitchen closes on a certain time? Specially when you have been waiting for 10 minutes. I don’t know if the food is good but definitely I'm not gonna recommend this place, really poor service.

They have such good vegan ice cream! I’m not vegan but I died and went to heaven after tasting their Caramel Crunch flavour. A must try. I look forward to trying their waffles soon.

Best vegan ice cream ever please keep bubblegum forever it made my life. Also love choc mint and hazelnut and chocolate and okay just all the vegan flavours.

If you come here the one thing you need to try is the VEGAN hazelnut icecream... you’ll be scratching your head trying to work out how it’s vegan but still manages to taste better than most dairy icecreams! Other non-vegan flavours are incredible too. 👌🏼

Great vegan ice cream options!! My favourite flavours are the mint and bueno! The charcoal chocolate is also really nice and have a good coco taste to it. Go-to ice cream place on high street!

Great place for late night coffees with a decent selection of waffles to choose from, but it’s the homemade ice cream that keeps me going back for more

Not Sure What all the Fuss is about...<br/>Went here with my boyfriend and we each had a waffle, I had the “Wonderland” and the bf has the “Berry Nice” My waffle was burnt on the bottom and quite a small size for one waffle on a plate. My waffle tasted like it was made with some type of wholemeal flour or maybe buckwheat flour and not like plain white flour like I’d prefer.

really great place to go out for a sweet treat after dinner in northcote. Waffles are a very reasonable price and taste delicious! very impressed with how attentive staff were and the great flavours offered with ice cream especially

The Waffles were not freshly made to order. They were undercooked, stale and altogether abysmal. Charged extra for having the gelato on the side in a separate container. The Gelato was good but not up to review standards.

Ice cream was delicious. Only a few flavours to pick from. Menu is limited but the selection is fantastic. Loved the look of the place & the staff were super friendly! Will be back to try a smoothie bowl and a coffee

Lovely gelato and dessert bar. A wide selection of desserts that all look delicious. The gelato had gluten free listed under the flavours which was a great addition. Would definitely come back, and very soon!

We went on International Waffle day which surprised me that they didn't have any type of specials or even celebrated it. Just walking into the place you were hit with that lovely freshly pressed waffle smell along with the smell of freshly ground coffee. The service staff was attentive and our coffees came out quick. The waffles were great!! I had the hazelnut heaven and my partner had the pecan and bananas. The food was gorgeous in appearance and tasted equally delicious. It was a symphony of flavours and textures using hot and cold, crunchy and soft, sweet and salty. It was contrasting yet worked well together. My partner loved the banana and pecan but thought it was a bit too sweet. It perhaps need something to break up the sweetness. Overall good food! I would recommend to anyone.

Love this lil cafe. They have vegan ice creams 🙌🏽 I must say, can’t go post the hazelnut ice cream. It’s the best ice cream I’ve tasted!!! It’s a must try 👌🏽👌🏽

We had the hazelnut waffles and were not disappointed! <br/><br/>Belgian waffles with the chocolate ice cream on the side was perfect, and the presentation was nice as well<br/><br/>Open till late Yay! 👍

Great desserts and ice cream though the staff are extremely rude. Not a single smile from the person who served us and after writing a review about it I was confronted by another person who works there being asked ‘are you the one who just wrote the review? If you have a problem you can just tell us’ while still not apologising for the rude customer service! extremely unprofessional and intentional intimidating in hopes I would have deleted my review before her boss saw.

Clean, affordable, delicious food/shakes very chilled place which is ideal for a catch up. Easy going staff, venue tidy and claim atmosphere. Great place!

Ice cream was pretty good, had salted caramel and bueno. Tad bit expensive for 1 scoop though. Also the waffles were a little too sweet and sugary. Portion size was quite small compared to other places at the same price. But overall a good first time experience.

Ice cream was delicious. Had the pistachio and caramel crunch and they did not dissapoint. Also had the hazelnut waffles which were mediocre. Was just a tad too sweet and I was not a fan of the dark chocolate ice cream.

Came here instead of waiting 30 minutes for a table at tinker and it was worth it, service was so quick and food well presented. The tropical bowl was delicious and would be perfect to eat in summer, i also tried my friends waffle and it was amazing. we loved it and will probably be back here soon

Yum yum yum!!! Had the waffles twice here and I'm addicted. Tried the hazelnut/strawberry ones and the apple pie, loved both. Portion size is perfect, they look small when they come out but they are so filling, that I can't finish them. Love that it's open late on a weekend, good to come for dessert after a local dinner.

I've been meaning to try this place for ages and finally went yesterday. I ordered the vegan hazelnut waffles and was pleasantly surprised. The Nutella was swapped for a custard tasting substance which was delicious! A generous serving of 2 waffles definitely filled me up. Delicious sweets!!

Came in expecting the worst but as soon as I had that first bite I was hooked. <br/><br/>I had the vegan berry waffles and my girlfriend had the vegan hazelnut waffles. Both amazing. <br/><br/>Will definitely be back 🥞🥞🥞
