Golden Waffle

I don’t usually have the opportunity to sleep in so you can imagine how precious my Sunday mornings are. Golden waffles are seriously one of the only things that’ll make me jump out of bed. This means waking up, getting ready, and driving to Stonestown on Sunday mornings in order to catch this food truck before they leave at 1pm. No regrets. At all.
Even when I’m not having a sweet tooth, just the sweet smell of mouthwatering liege waffles makes me change my mind. The waffles are always served fresh and warm, caramelized at its crust, and soft and chewy in the center. Absolute heaven. I also love how the sweetness from the sugar pearls aren’t overwhelming and is a perfect compliment for a good-​sized waffle. I usually like mine plain but extra plus for having condiments in case you’re feeling a little bit of a heavier snack.
Seriously, no regrets.

Oh My Goodness! My daughter and two friend went looking for the Golden Waffle Mobile today on the SFSU campus. It was rather comical because we didn’t know where we were going. But college kids are the nicest people to get directions from and they finally steered us to the GWM in front of the Humanities Bldg.
We stepped up and ordered from a lovely French man names Terry (sp?). He was so sweet and served up the most delicious waffles we’ve ever had! I ordered one with strawberries, whipped cream and carmel… heavenly!
Find them on Twitter or go tot he website and find out where they are next. It’s worth the adventure!

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to give a place a 4-​star review, but this one definitely deserved it and I was glad to break my slump. I had recently just finished an exam, and was famished at all the energy I had burned trying to remember what I read less than 24 hours ago.
As I walked out of the Creative Arts building, something smelled fantastic. It was almost cartoonish how I was drawn by the aroma. I had to know what it was, I had to find out where it was coming from.
I soon arrived to what was unbeknownst to be was a farmer’s market, that happens every Thursday on campus, with food trucks and local farmers. It’s like a portable plaza got hand delivered to me in my time of need.
I found what originally drew me there, it was the smell of belgian waffles! What a treat! Literally. The line was super long and so was the wait, but let me tell you, it was all worth it. I got one with strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar for $ 6. Luckily for me, it was quick.
My goodness, the first bite had my eyes rolled into my head and I thought I was looking at my brain for a good minute. People must have thought me insane for making my «O» face in public, but I didn’t care, I was in taste heaven, and they were missing out!
Anyways, I wished they set up places for you to sit and the service was faster. There was only one guy working by himself. It’s absolutely worth a try.

I’ve passed by this food truck probably a few hundred times, but I’ve never gotten anything from there until now.
I was finally craving something sweet and didn’t feel like wearing my teeth out by munching on kettle corn so I finally decided to try to place. I got a waffle with nutella and strawberries on top totaling around $ 6. First bite, it was a kid’s taste bud lighting up in fireworks from all the heavenly sweetness, but that’s all it lasted. The rest of the waffle just tasted like an overload of sugar. I think I blame the nutella. I probably would’ve been better off with a plain waffle and a very simple not overly sweet topping.
I think trying this place once is enough for me. Belgian waffles are pretty expensive. haha

We ordered the banana waffle with Nutella and it was very yummy. For $ 5.25 you get fresh bananas with powdered sugar and Nutella. Not bad at all. Little pricey but with the try. Crispy goodness outside and very sensed inside.

First time we ordered a waffle with chocolate sauce & strawberries. The chocolate was Hershey’s syrup. I grew out of that taste years ago so I was very disappointed & he ate the whole thing.
Second trip I had one to myself with Nutella & bananas. Oh my! This is what I hoped for the first time. The Nutella was kept over the hot waffle irons so it was already warm before it hit the waffle. It was so yummy!

I give this place 5 stars for my content and satisfaction of the food and service, and for leaving me wanting to buy another $ 6 waffle. Best waffle I’ve had… SO FAR.
My Experience: On my way home from the airport, I randomly found this place in a food court area made up of 7 – 10 food trucks South of Market. Ironically, my girlfriend decided the night before to get waffles for breakfast this morning before i dropped her off at the airport – however we got up later than expected and she left on a empty stomach. This would have DEFINITELY fulfilled her Belgian Waffle Wishes…
The Waffle: It tasted as good as it looked. I chose a waffle with fresh strawberries, caramel, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. The waffle was served warm, and in a tray container making it easy to eat. I think the waffle I had was pre-​made, but it looked like he was constantly making them as he made 2 more waffles after I placed my order. But I think he can make them fresh upon request. I cut it into quarters, and ate the first quarter in one bite. Very Nice. Then, JUST to test the quality of the waffle dough itself, I ate JUST a piece of the waffle with a little bit caramel still on it. Surprisingly STILL good. The waffle is made out of a dough, and not a batter as I expected. So i think its similar to a funnel cake in texture, but without the greasy feel. It was firm/​semi-​crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The waffle is ordered in similar fashion to a funnel cake, where you can choose your topping from, strawberries, banana, whipped cream, caramel, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, and NUTELLA. Each topping is an additional fee to the $ 4 waffle.
The Service: The truck looks neat, clean and organized to be a respectable business. They did have various pictures of topped waffles on the truck i visited, that made it easier to decide on toppings. There was only one man operating the truck, an he was very polite and patient in recommending a caramel syrup to my waffle, when i couldn’t decide what syrup I wanted. I spoke to him afterwards to get their hours and days of operation, and found out that he and his wife are the owners of 2 trucks, and he operates one truck and she runs the other. I think the eating experience is memorably augmented when I’m getting serviced by the owners directly. Service is usually better, and it kinda makes the food taste better. And it always feel good to support a local mom and pop business.
The Location: 2 People, 2 MOBILE trucks… So the locations and hours can vary. He said the best way to know where they will be is through the web and Twitter. I recommend the spot right next to the COSTCO Parking Lot (PARKING) in San Francisco Mission District near 14^th and Bryant. They have other food trucks there, and LOTS of tables and benches and even a HUGE tent to protect you from the sun or wind.

I had the banana nutella waffle and it was delish! I wanna try some other concoctions but if you want a snack these guys are legit. Based on the accents I think the main guy is actually from Belgian? I didn’t ask but will have to on my next visit!

Its warm, gooey, soft and fresh off the griddle. Not too sweet. The powdered sugar was a nice complement but it can be messy. Its a one man show so it can be a bit of a wait.

Regular Waffle with powdered sugar ($ 4): Sooo good! I don’t have to say I liked the infused syrup in the waffle. Not too sweet but very dense. Powdered sugar got all over me on a windy day, but still enough on the waffle to enjoy.
Service was good and the waffle came right out of the grill. Don’t have to wait to go to Tahoe to get some at North Star!

We were lucky enough to select this at the Treasure Island Flea. Many things looked tasty, but a waffle sounded great.
Don’t miss. A real treat, well prepared. The waffles are caramelized and the truck is very clean. Fantastic!

They have a truck at the Soma Food Park. I tried it for the first time today and oh my! Delicious!

Oh crap.
Since I’m on campus on Thursdays and my classes are mostly in the Humanities building, I am smelling caramelized sugar all day. I knew that if I had just one bite, I would probably become the Belgian version of the cookie monster.
Too bad I was right. Now that I had a taste, I am going to be looking forward to Thursdays when I can get a waffle.
The only real complaint I have is that the waffle is not warm enough… I think they are pre made. I want a piping hot waffle!

My company hired So Good Belgain Waffle last month for our Employee Appreciation week. It was my first time trying belgian waffles from a truck. I thought it was OK. To me, it was a little too sweet and hard. The waffle tasted like it was toasted with caramel inside of it and it seemed like the caramel hardened the waffle a bit. I prefer to have my waffles softer and less savory. You can optionally add whipped cream on it.
Beware of the powdered sugar. It will most likely get ALL over you as you eat it, haha.

Liege belgian waffles… I never heard of this. I’ve had many belgian waffles but learned today that there are liege belgian waffles… OMG it was so good.
This food truck was at the Gourmet Food Truck event in Pleasanton and I’m so glad I decided to try it for dessert. It was between this truck and a cupcake truck. I can get cupcakes anywhere and at each food truck event I go to, there’s always a cupcake truck. To me these events gives us a chance to try different stuff and So Good Belgian Waffle got my business and boy am I glad I went there.
I had one with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. It was delicious. I will definitely look for them again! It’s not like any regular waffle you’ll ever have. Try it — you’ll like it. :)

You know you’ve reached a point of no return when you automatically know the difference between a Brussels waffle and a Liege waffle. That probably means you’ve been flipping those griddle irons much too long at the Best Western continental breakfast bar. Or that you’re Belgian. No, you’re a waffle iron flipper, I can tell. And so can the guy who runs this truck since he is an obvious expert at the Liege waffle — the denser, sweeter kind that’s made of yeast. Truth be told, I prefer the lighter Brussels kind but how can you turn down either one in a pinch?
The red truck was parked outside the Yerba Buena Center of the Arts on a recent Saturday right next to the popular Rib Whip truck. Since Jamie W. and I just ate lunch at Turtle Tower just before we came upon the trucks, I knew I only had room for a waffle and not a slab of ribs. I ordered the one-​size-​only $ 4 waffle without powdered sugar (…the guilt of phở in my belly still) but decided to drop four bits for whipped cream and another buck for blueberries (see photo). The draw of a Brazilian samba band had our hips shaking to the beats as I was wolfing the waffle at a bench. It hit the spot and luckily not the concrete.
FOOD — 4 stars… first-​class Liege waffle with the fixings
AMBIANCE — 3 stars… it’s a truck for Pete’s sake
SERVICE — 3.5 stars… he did a fine job making it and topping it
TOTAL — 4 stars… don’t waffle over this waffle

Liege waffles, here I come… I want to dive into a vat of its dough… Welcome to the real deal… some genuine Belgian goodness and «awesomely» fresh.
No speculoos topping, as they serve it in BE, but beautiful waffle. $ 4. Purist, so just pearl sugar and fresh cast iron skillet squashing it into edible readiness… crispy, golden on the outside, chewy and fresh on the inside.
Yesterday’s Treasure Island event’s highlight for me? Watching my girlfriend regress into a silly, anserine gal, and noshing on those fresh things!
Owner cool — French dude who grew up in the Pyrenees, between France and Espana… Olé! Super! C’est epatant!

Belgium waffles with powered sugar!
This place is to die for! I had Belgium waffles in Belgium before and this comes pretty close! Actually, it’s AS good or even better! I try to make it here every other Sunday for the farmers market to get these bad boys! They are the right scweetness, no need for syrup and the perfect size where you will be too full for other goodies at the market. Price is $ 4 for plain one with sugar, pretty steep but sooooooo worth it! He even makes it right when your order so how fresh can you get?!

Margaret S. pretty much covered most of the things you need to know about the waffle.
I was really surprised about the caramelized crust around the entire waffle. Apparently it’s a chain out of Belgium and they sell the dough in trays.
It’s a pretty good sized waffle for $ 4 (with nutella) I felt pretty satisfied after gobbling the whole thing up.
The dude was really nice. Two girls in front of me were speaking… french? with the guy I couldn’t really tell but yes very people oriented =D

At SFSU’s farmer’s market, there is a European dude that makes waffles every Thursday from I think at least 8am-​4pm. Yeah.
There are three toppings you may have on your waffle that I know of: Powdered sugar ($ 3.50), nutella ($ 4.00) and whipped cream ($ 4.00). There is also this cherry. ish jam that he showcases on the counter top but I’m not sure if he offers it as a topping.
The waffles here are reallyyyyyyyy good. It’s the caramelized sugar that really sells me. The nutella is overkill but powdered sugar is just right.
This morning I had a waffle and some Peet’s English Breakfast from Caffe Rosso after a midterm. It was a perfect way to reward myself 8D
