TLDR: GF+DF mochi, Grass-Fed beef, LOCAL. The destination for gluten free & dairy free waffles ! We tried the: Grass-fed Beef hot dogs on a stick, wrapped in their secret recipe, soft and crispy, mochi-waffle! (Dip your mochi-waffle-dog in yellow mustard, or their own honey mustard) Wow! AND they have fresh fruit waffles with maple syrup. Going to try those next time. Brilliant family business. read more

A burnt waffle on a paper plate with a plastic fork, $25. If you want a gluten free breakfast, there are much better options like Liulu's or Mac 24/7. This is not it. Side note- they don't have coffee or drinks. read more

"I don't wanna get a movie hot dog! [in tears] I want a Papaya King hot dog! - Cosmo Kramer, Seinfeld da Scene: visiting for a few weeks and headed to Kakaako Farmers for breakfast and gifts to bring home. Tucked into the 1st corner when you cross to the 2nd side is the Aiwi Waffle truck... as I scan the menu, I see Waffle Dog and my mind spins into nostalgia. I immediately order one up and while waiting thoughts of KC Drive Inn Kapalulu memories flood back. Countless nights spent cruising Waikiki ending with a Waffle Dog and Ono Ono Shake in the parking lot with friends. Anticipation... da Grub: Harmony is my best description. Crisp yet tender waffle hugs the all beef frank closely, all enveloping, almost like it was a dipped corn dog. Yet it had all the score marks and texture of a waffle! The frank itself is juicy, plump perfection, semi-med grind showed little glistening pockets... savory perfection! The Honey Mustard took it to another level, bringing some sweetness and tang at the same time. da Service: They made me feel like a calabash cousin, and while chatting found a California connection as they spent some time living in the East Bay! I actually rushed away to catchup with my family and took my 1st bite walking away... my knees almost buckled it was so good! After we circled the market I made my daughter go back with me to grab another one and take some pics... they are SO NICE! Bay Area peeps show some love, you must check out this Aiwi Waffle Dog on your next visit to Oahu! Found them at Kakaako Farmers, and am already planning a visit to their storefront in Waikiki!! read more

I love mochi waffle anything and this has got to be hands down the BEST waffle place I've been to on island. I got their banana mac nut waffle, their banana lumpia waffle and their house cold brew. Delicious! Prices may seem steep, but trust me you can taste the quality in the Ingredients here. I feel like I'm not even that big of a foodie to be able to tell quality of honey, but when I say this honey is different!! It totally is. I don't know how to describe it other than it tastes expensive. The workers are so nice and friendly here , they helped give me recommendations on what's good and I love that they have outdoor seating for you to enjoy everything. Highly recommend! read more

Saw the is truck during the Saturday Kaka'ako market and immediately thought in my head "Waffle Dog". I remember as a kid in the early 90's visiting my Uncle on the island, he introduced a place (KC's) known for their waffle dogs. Seeing this on Aiwi menu instantly got me in nostalgic mode and had to try it. It was delicious! read more

Super friendly service. Located on the second floor of this building. Outdoor seating with a nice view. The waffle dog was very tasty, especially with their house honey mustard sauce. The cold brew was tasty too- I should've stirred it up a lot more before because of the maple syrup sits on the bottom. The whipped cream was very tasty read more

Absolutely phenomenal GF waffles. I love the consistency and texture--the mochi makes it a little chewy. The owner came up with an amazing recipe. Only wish the coconut cream was dairy free so I could've tried it! Also, the girl working, Eva, was super sweet and friendly. read more

Was intrigued by the idea of Gluten Free and organic waffles. I normally don't like Gluten free things because you can taste the difference - NOT these though! Absolutely delicious. We got the Berry Medley and loved it. It came with Maple Syup on the side, but didn't need it, waffle was tasty and chewy without it. read more

I got the Very Berry with Ube Custard and it was so good! I didn't even need the maple syrup. I also appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. I need to go back to try the other flavors! read more

My favorite breakfast I had in my 10 day trip and I love to eat! I actually never prefer a sweet breakfast but the rest of my family wanted to go here and I was so pleasantly surprised. This mochi style waffle is lighter and maybe even better than "the real thing"? It is a little pricey but considering the portion size, could easily be shared by 2 people and the fresh ingredients they use, I think it worth it. Highly recommend trying this place out. read more

We came back a second time on our return to Waikiki because we couldn't stop thinking about these waffles! Delicious, gluten free, amazing flavor options. Even the members of our party without gluten restrictions agreed that these were some of the best waffles we've ever had. The staff is so friendly too. We'll be back again as soon as we can get back to the island! read more

Make sure you go up to the second floor to try out this little gem. The service was amazing. The food was fantastic and the vibes were 10 out of 10.

Super delicious, healthy food, and you will be supporting local business by eating here. It's a win all around. Highly recommend!! read more

The waffle was fantastic! So nice to find a gluten-free fluffy waffle. The toppings were nice. I was disappointed they didn't have the dairy-free butter nor the dairy-free whipped cream. (They said they usually do, just not that day.) I think the waffle would have been so much better with those! And it had been hyped by a friend, so I was expecting those options to be available. For a more than $20 waffle, I would expect a lot more. This was SO very costly. I would equate it with getting a treat at Disney - you expect it to be outrageously expensive. But I wasn't at an amusement park. So I was disappointed at the extremely high cost. read more

This place satisfied this dairy-free, pregnant mama's craving for waffles. I ordered the banana mac mochi waffle (no butter, no whip) with peanut butter and chocolate sauce. Holy smokes it was so yummy. The woman behind the counter was so pleasant and gentle, taking care to explain what I could and could not have due to my dairy allergy. We went around 8:45am on a Monday, and was pleasantly surprised that it was not super busy, but everyone leaving had smiles on their face and fully bellies. The restaurant was clean and modern, and I enjoyed sitting outside and people watching (when I wasn't chowing down). I also had their fresh squeezed juice (POG this day). Delicious! read more

Absolutely loved my visit to Aiwi Waffles! I ordered the gluten-free Banana Mac mochi waffle and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful it all was. Crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and perfectly balanced flavors. You can really tell everything is made to order with quality ingredients. And the mochi? An absolute standout: chewy, warm, and addictive. The upstairs seating added to the whole experience: cozy, relaxed, and full of good vibes with the sun shining down. It's a great spot to unwind and enjoy something sweet without feeling rushed. I'll definitely be coming back for another breakfast/waffle fix! read more

So my husband and I were up early on our last full day of vacation. Took a walk to explore and a lovely lady was handing out free samples of the mochi waffles. I looked at my husband and said let's share one!!! We got the banana macadamia nut waffle and it was amazing. I'm home and can't stop thinking about how no other waffles are going to compare. Please continue giving samples to lure people into your awesome restaurant. Service was excellent and I will recommend this place to anyone that is staying in the area. read more
