    Cookie monster

    I say this was worth the hype and more than just an Instagram picture. Portion size was good but not overwhelming. Waffle was soft and great balance against the treats inside. There's the option to go off of the menu, or make your own combination of ice cream and toppings. Would totally come back. Sucks there's nowhere to sit inside though.

    The Bubblewrap Waffle was instagram famous and looked delicious, so I decided to give it a try when I was in London about a month ago. They have a lot of flavors for ice cream and have lots of choices for toppings. It is a good thing to have many options, but it also makes it hard to decide sometimes. The staff told me that the waffle holds up to two scoops of ice cream, but some people said it's too much ice cream. I laughed and said, "I'm from the U.S. and what do you mean by too much ice cream" LOL. I ended up getting two scoops and it was perfect!

    Babbbbbay! Let me tell you, when you've been eating low carb for months on top of months and go on vacation and try some bubblewrap waffle cones with yummy, delicious ice cream inside! Felt like I died and went to heaven, ya hear me. I decided on the Kit Kat Oreo cause I wanted to be super fat and running off sugar and it did no disappoint. So sweet, so creamy and the cone was both crunchy yet savory and fulfilling. The only downside is this place is super sardine packed small and there is no place to enjoy your treat except outside. Plus it's pricey AF! The service was nice, not rushed even though they were busy. I would love to relive this moment. So delicious...in London, try it!

    Delicious! The bubble wrap is pillowy and crispy, rolled into a cone and stuffed with ice cream with bits of cookie mixed in, topped with mango drizzle and strawberries.

    So good!!!! Great idea to use the bubble waffle as an icecream cone. I had the matcha icecream and it was so good!

    So delicious!! You can either choose to make your own waffle or one of their options. We got the delux lover and everything about it was so good. If you don't have a sweet tooth, this might be a little too much for you. It's still a well-loved and popular spot in Chinatown so I'd still recommend people to come and check it out

    When I read the reviews for this place I knew I had to swing by. When I made my way to the store from there was a line out the door and around the corner. I almost left because the line was so long but I stuck around and waited it out. The inside of this shop is tiny--hence the line out the door and around the corner. The waiting is minimal and even if it weren't it would be so worth it. You build your own waffle cone the way you like and every waffle is made fresh just for you! I really enjoyed watching the team work to get orders prepared--if I could post a video I would. The hazelnut ice cream was ammmmmazzzzzzing. I'm not too into sweets but this hit the spot when I was looking for something cold and slightly sweet. I got this to share, but honestly it was so good that we all decided to grab our own. This little part of London is so cool. Please don't let the line scare you away.

    It's huge!

    Popular spot for Instagram-worthy decadent waffle-wrapped ice creams. It's a bit over the top and quite indulgent! Not exactly practical or sustainable (in terms of calories and in terms of money!) as a regular occurrence -- but perhaps a fun one-time treat / experience.

    Don't be intimidated by the long lines. The queue moves pretty quickly. We came here two nights in a row for the egg waffle with strawberry cheesecake gelato topped with Oreo cookies and Nutella

    I might've flown to London just for this ... maybe.. possibly. There was a pretty long line out the door; that's right, I waited! Waiting was pretty entertaining though; I got to watch how they made the waffles and what the customers in front of me got. I got my waffle with bananas and Nutella; classic but always my favorite. Guys, the line was worth the wait - Just look at my smile! (P.S. I had to take my winter gloves off to take this picture to share the yumminess with my Yelpers - you're welcome!) You get to customize your waffle however you'd like They have a variety of options for ice creams, toppings, creams, syrups, etc. They also have preset waffles in their menu selection.

    Visited this place with my partner who had high expectations; said expectations were equistitly exceeded. Each of us got our own waffle, complete with our own slew of delectable toppings. The waffles will run you about 7£ and probably add a pound of sugar onto your belly as well. Despite this, it is well worth it. In particular, I got the matcha gelato on a vanilla waffle with Oreo, and biscoff syrup. The staff also put on brownie pieces; I hadn't asked for any but they must have known I needed them. Together, the flavor was supremely satisfying and I cannot wait to go back and treat myself next time I'm in SoHo/Chinatown, though as a Chicagoan, that may be some time. A few brief logistical notes. First, the shop itself is quite small and you can expect the que to extend out about 5 to 10 people. That said, the line will move along pretty quickly. Also, I was able to pay by card, but noticed a small sign stashed away reading 'cash only'. Likely this means their machine may be out of order on occasion, so best bring some cash just in case. Overall, this is a unique treat you simply must try. More than just a gimmick, the whole operation is sweet.

    I came here after dim sum. This was the best way to end my evening. I had a bubble wrap waffle with matcha ice cream, strawberries and chocolate drizzle. It was delicious and certainly hit the spot! You can either choose a recommended combo or make up your own. You choose a waffle flavor, ice cream flavor and toppings. I kept it simple and went with the regular, traditional plain waffle. My friend had the KitOreoKat which has Kit Kat and Oreo toppings. I had a bite and it was really rich and sweet, but it also was delicious. The service is really fast. The line moves quick. Thank goodness because it can get crowded in there. It's standing room only! They have this Hello Kitty tote bag that they sell which is so cute but I couldn't justify buying another tote because I already have so many!

    Plain bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream and crushed oreos.

    Just chanced upon this place after going for lunch at a restaurant opposite. I had the plain bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream and crushed oreos (they usually put them whole, but I requested them to crush them). It was a classic, but good. My brother went for the plain with hazelnut icecream with nutella and chocolate sauce, and he said his was nice too. Got really messy while eating it! The place is way too overpriced though, and you end up paying quite a lot even if you add just a couple toppings. Not sure its worth it. Its also quite small and there's like no place to sit inside and and wait for your order. You keep rubbing against other customers. Not the best experience. This also means you have to go outside, stand and have your treats.

    Unique concept. But ice cream and waffle don't taste as good. Could probably get much better ice cream elsewhere for less.

    We came here since the big boss was in town. This was my first visit and our seating area wasn't…read morethe best (we sat in the bar area) but the views were great and the food wasn't too bad either. 3/5 Corn ribs - never had a corn rib before. Good, a bit sweet. Messy to eat. 3/5 Truffle fries - good but average 4/5 Polenta - very tasty, a must. 3/5 Duck and waffle - I expected this to be bigger but it was good. I normally prefer chicken but the duck wasn't bad. All the food was decent and the staff were all nice. It's unfortunate that the walk to the restaurant passes by the smelly toilets. Also there was only one lift working that day so it took a little time to get up/down.

    I've been looking forward to visiting Duck & Waffle for quite some time. The views are incredible,…read morethe space itself is striking, and on paper it promises that perfect London mix of skyline, late-night energy, and elevated comfort food. Unfortunately, our experience was soured before it even had a chance to begin. My girlfriend and I walked in excited, completely amicable, simply hoping to head upstairs for a bite and drinks. We were greeted by the doorman with an immediate, dismissive "Are you good?" -- not in a welcoming or helpful tone, but in a way that felt skeptical and unnecessarily confrontational. There was no warmth, no "welcome in," no attempt at hospitality. It immediately set an uncomfortable tone. He then proceeded to call upstairs as though he were doing us some sort of favor just by allowing us to go up. The entire interaction felt transactional and judgmental rather than gracious. First impressions matter, especially at a place that positions itself as a premium dining destination. Hospitality begins at the door, not at the table. When we finally made it upstairs, the room was filled with visibly drunk, rowdy groups -- which only made the earlier attitude feel even more misplaced. If that environment is acceptable (and profitable), then two polite guests looking for drinks and food shouldn't be met with suspicion at the entrance. By that point, the damage was done. The initial interaction had already rubbed us the wrong way, and the energy upstairs didn't help. We ultimately decided to leave before even sitting at our table. That's how strongly the first impression impacted us. It's difficult to justify staying somewhere when you don't feel genuinely welcomed from the outset. Duck & Waffle has the potential to be memorable for all the right reasons. But someone representing the brand at the very front needs to understand that hospitality isn't optional -- it's foundational. A simple, respectful welcome would have changed everything. I hope management takes this seriously, because no guest should feel judged or dismissed before they even step inside.

This waffle place looks pretty tempting with fresh waffles being made on the waffle makers in front of you, and the displays of chicken + waffles, waffles + berries, and a few other interesting looking combinations. The waffles and toppings were fine, but you can get similar elsewhere, so unless you're a huge waffle fiend or you're craving waffles, I'd get something more unique that's harder to find in most places. The waffle we got was fresh and slightly crisp on the outside and a little chewy inside, and it was fresh. The berries and the chocolate sauce and honey on top were good, and the greek yogurt was a nice alternative to whipped cream. It was good but not amazing and it was little on the expensive side. If you have a waffle iron at home and berries at home, you can probably make something similar at home. Get a flavor that you can't recreate at home or skip this altogether and get something else at Maltby Market.

True masters of their craft, each element of the dish was absolute perfection, the waffle was just right, slightly chewy with just enough crust. The bacon- glorious American style bacon, smokey and peppery. Real maple syrup drizzled over the top and the biodynamic egg, a simple fried egg, but done amazingly to top off the dish. With a menu full of inventive waffles with ingredients like duck, figs, and goats cheese- I can't wait to try another fantastic waffle creation!

Employees were kind and handled the business of the day with ease. If anyone happens to see this from the cafe, I'd really love to know what vanilla syrup is used as I'm still thinking about that latte weeks later!

I wanted something with at least one good veggie option, they wanted something with meat, and it had to be somewhere in-between Camden and Canary Wharf, not too pricey, and ideally close to the city because otherwise our Italian friend probably wouldn't make it. And lo and behold.... THE FAT BEAR!!! It was all we wanted and more! This place is sort of tucked away and up some stairs above a pub. It's really just a room and a half, which makes it super cozy and they have a pretty awesome looking bar. It's got warm lighting which makes the atmosphere really nice. Their cocktails were delightful and the service was excellent. I will make a very strange observation that someone working there had a very drunk friend who just sort of made herself at home. Then more joined and it turned into me watching this table of really really drunk people trying to order food. Two of them ended up just falling asleep. It was super strange. Anyway, me being distracted aside, I really loved the cocktail I ordered- Sloe Boat To China, and everyone else seemed happy with theirs. I was dying to try the pimiento cheese starter and the fried pickles. The cheese was particularly sharp and delicious. The pickles were good, but quite skinny (I mean come on, you're in an American restaurant I was expecting some serious pickles). The vegan gumbo was super spicy and delicious. I was impressed and enjoyed it. My husband dropped the ball and ordered the regular jambalaya (with sausage) rather than the seafood one which broke my heart a little bit, because I really wanted to try it. You know, I guess that means we'll just have to come back. Oh also another bonus, this place has brisket which is really hard to find. I can't say how it tastes but my friend said he defo approves (am I becoming more British with these words, or just more annoying?) Anyway, to finish it off I had the oreo cheesecake which the bomb. I love oreos. And it tasted like oreo. So all was right with the world. A wonderful place to come if you have people who want to try American food, or if you have out of town Americans who are too scared to try other food, or if you have hungry friends that want to try cajun food, or if you just want to try some really yummy food.
