I love Gadani I have been coming here since I was in high school with my friends on the weekends. They had stopped having the banana chip waffle for a while but it's back now! I would suggest getting the banana chip waffle with chocolate or vanilla ice cream :). This is a small cozy spot and not much parking near by but it has a nice vibe to it and for all you introverts out here there is a self ordering machine available if you don't want to talk to anyone. The workers are nice but they keep to themselves for the most part. read more

Gadani - Banana Chip Waffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Echoing my previous review -- I'd say come here if you are craving egg waffles; the egg puff ice cream combo looks great for the Instagram story, but it is quite pricey. We got matcha ice cream on top of matcha egg puffs but the ice cream did not taste like matcha, but this could be my personal opinion because I like strong matcha flavors. Would recommend elsewhere for matcha ice cream. Cool shop vibes though, and there's even a section where they sell cute merchandise, accessories, etc. read more

Colorful dessert creations, located just outside of UC Berkeley and adjacent to the Bart station. This small coffee shop and dessert bar prepares one of the most delicious egg waffle treats. Although they have an iPad to pre-order, I don't recommend using it. Simply wait for the counter person, and place your order. Feature item: chocolate egg waffle, with two scoops of ice cream (chocolate and UBE purple) add chocolate drizzle and whipped cream! Definitely recommend this place on your way to visit UC Berkeley! read more

Egg waffle was good, but a little undercooked inside. Otherwise it was pretty good. Staff is friendly.

I ordered the matcha red bean waffle, and it was good! It came out hot, but not too hot to eat. The matcha flavor was there, but not very strong. The red bean was a great touch, but I wish there was more! I didn't try the ice cream but I saw that they had cookies and cream, lavender, and several other standard flavors that I can't remember. I would come back if I was in the area. They gave a ordering system where you use a touch interface machine to order and pay. Seems like this is the only way to order. I didn't even see anyone when I first walked in. It's right in the heart of downtown Berkeley so parking might be tough. read more

Gadani is such a cute, cozy dessert spot in Berkeley! It's perfect for when you've gotten dinner in the area and want something sweet like an egg waffle or ice cream. My go to is the ice cream egg waffle combo. The waffle isn't too sweet which helps balance out the ice cream. If you like cinnamon, you NEED to get the horchata ice cream. It's so creamy & delicious!! You go inside and order on a kiosk, which is really convenient. The employees will make your dessert and serve it to you and they are always so sweet! There's also a little area where they sell earrings, socks, and other little things from Asia which are really fun and cool :) The inside of Gadani is quite small, probably can only fit maybe 5-7 people max for seating, and there's no public bathroom. That being said, I've managed to snag a seat every time I've gone or you can get your order to go! It's hard to find good egg waffles in the area & Gadani is my favorite for that :) read more

Came here with the gf after dinner for a sweet treat. Although I did not realize it initially, I actually had Gadani bookmarked for awhile so it was definitely great to check off another thing on my Yelp list of places to try! The store itself is small, but very cute and has a great fake grass backwall that is definitely great for those IG pics. To order, you can either use the self-serve kiosk at the front, or go up to the cashier. For our trip this time, we got the chocolate & strawberry waffle cone with a scoop of blueberry yogurt ice cream. It takes a good 10mins to make, but is well worth the wait! The waffle itself is hot and fluffy, and is delicious to have together with the cold, deliciously flavored ice cream. Make sure not to spend too long snapping pics because the ice cream melts fast and will easily drip through the bottom of the paper cone. In addition, although we did not notice this initially, there is an offer through Yelp for 10% off your first order which can be texted to you. Make sure to take advantage of it to save some $! read more

Gadani - Chocolate & Strawberry Waffle Cone with Blueberry Yogurt Ice Cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

**DISCLAIMER: PRE-COVID review. Gadani is very cute and aesthetically pleasing to dine in with great vibes. The dining area is limited but I do appreciate this place at least having some sort of seating area considering it is small. You can either do the bar stool area or sit at a table. I do get the concept of this place and their crepe's are definitely yummy but for some reason I still did not feel WOW'ed. Whenever I come across this feeling I rate the place as A-OK and a balance of neither horrible or fully AMAZING. My bf and I tried satisfying our sweet tooth with a Matcha Eggpuff crepe with Ube Ice cream, Red Beans and Whip cream for topping. I'll give this an overall 6 out of 10 rating! read more

Stopped by here on a Sunday to relive my nostalgia for a post-midterm Banana Chip waffle and to try the new pop up matcha cafe. I missed the cafe by 5min, came here at 4:05pm, they were already washing the matcha cups! The waffle came out fresh and piping hot. Sat in the window sill to snap the pic, read a little and people watch. Will come by next time to try the matcha! read more

Gadani - Banana Chip Waffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

I feel like this place was a bit hard to find given it was our first time in downtown Berkeley. We ended up being in the back of the building and had to turn around. This place is super small which I guess is normal in the Bay. It was very crowded when we went. They have a kiosk that you can order from or you can also order at the counter. Seeing that there is only 1 person working in the front, we ordered using the kiosk and honestly that was a mistake because people who were behind us that ordered from the counter got their stuff before we did. They also ordered similar items so it couldn't be that our order somehow took longer to make. First time having matcha egg puff wrapped taro ice cream and it was super tasty. The matcha egg puff has a little bit of bitter aftertaste which makes it much different than the regular egg puff. I like that their egg puff is very crunch and doesn't have too much dough. I asked for Taro ice cream which to me was a perfect combination. Besides the egg puff combo we also got the matcha latte which imo was just okay. It was actually a tad too sweet for me. They do allow you to adjust the sweetness level but being that it was my first time there I just wanted to go with the regular level. read more

Stopped by this spot with my family. The ice cream was good. We had Matcha, Ube in the cup and Pistachio, Pecan with the waffle. They were good. The interior was as chic as it can be for a small place. The staff member was very friendly, patient and accommodating when we made a mistake with our orders. Definitely recommend this place if you wanna grab some ice cream in Berkeley. read more

My first impression when I first entered this dessert store was that the interior was decorated super vibrantly! With one of the walls entirely covered with greenery and cute nature decorations all around the store, Gadani definitely is an aesthetic environment that has a great vibe. The staff there also were really cheerful and welcoming, as they were very helpful when we were selecting our flavors for the ice cream. I think that the egg puff they serve with the ice cream is pretty unique around this area, since I haven't seen it at any other places around the Berkeley area at least. We got the chocolate egg puff--which was warm and crispy--and it contrasted well with the coldness of the ice cream that was served! We got the cookies and creme ice cream with chocolate sauce drizzled on top, which made it really sweet and tasty! The ice cream was pretty smooth, and overall the presentation of the dessert was very nice! I think that this dessert place isn't talked about as much around Berkeley, and so I think that more people should really come here and check it out! It can be easy to overlook, so you kind of have to search for it though. read more

Gadani - Cookies and Creme Ice Cream with Chocolate Egg Puff - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

I finally got to check out what the hype is all about at Gadani! I like their simple menu and the option of customizing your desserts, especially with building your own ice cream egg waffle. They also offer just ice cream desserts, as well as lattes, espressos, and teas. The boyfriend and I ordered a Matcha Egg Waffle with a scoop of Ube ice cream. We topped it off with a wafer and Oreo crumbs. The egg waffle itself was delicious! It was crispy and golden on the outside, and soft and chewy in the inside. Sadly, I couldn't taste the Matcha, but it was still good. The Ube ice cream was yummy, as well and the toppings were a nice touch. The shop is cute with the greenery decor. However, there is very limited indoor seating available. It's more of an order-and-go kind of spot. Staff was chill and the service was average. Parking is slightly difficult as it is in the heart of Downtown Berkeley, but all in all Gadani is worth the try! read more

This place was so good! It was the perfect dessert! My fiance ordered the banana chocolate (I think) waffle with coffee ice cream, condensed milk and oreo cookie crumbles. He was in heaven. I ordered the strawberry chocolate waffle with matcha ice cream with matcha powder, but it was brown so maybe it was something else? It's ok cuz we loved our treats. The lady helping us was super nice. We also used the kiosk to order and it was very easy to use. read more

This was a lovely ice cream shop that specializes in the egg waffles! The egg waffles are so tasty and add so much to the traditional ice cream. They have different kinds of egg waffle flavors to choose from too. I enjoy the classic version but they have churro, chocolate, and more! Their ice cream is really good and they have some unique flavors. We chose heaven which has vanilla base, chocolate, peanut butter, and I think caramel too. It was rich and just paired beautifully with condensed milk topping and waffle. You've got to try the egg waffles! They will change your idea of a waffle cone. read more

I like the food, but the service was slow. What's interesting is a few stores down Hey atea was super busy.

We came in for quick order using the tablet inside. It was a little wait after ordered because it was only one person working. Food: double chocolate egg waffle is what we had got. It came out pipping hot and fresh in a paper bag. My DD finished at no time. Chewy style not crunchy that we prefer. Price: $5 for a waffle. I consider high. read more

I came here after my very last final of graduate school. The rest of my class was partying and I really just wanted to celebrate alone and wanted something sweet. Now I've been all over South East Asia for two months this year and saw these egg-waffle ice cream shells all over but for some cosmic reason could not get my hands on them! So I was thrilled to get them in Berkeley! I have to say this is the CUTEST most instagrammable shop out there, and I don't even like social media ha! The service here couldn't be better, the woman was so sweet and was patient with me while I ordered. What I got: - pistachio gelato with chocolate egg waffle and rose petal topping. The verdict: ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! price: $8?, It was expensive but also, this is an indulgence. I dream about this place and am sad I no longer live near Berkeley so can't get it, do me a favor and get yourself some! read more

Instagrammable af, and tasty too! Expensive af too, but really not too much considering how expensive ***fancy*** ice cream/gelato is in the area.

Besides the ice cream waffles, they also sell drinks, but I'd probably avoid them unless you really need the gram. read more

3.5, an okay place for egg waffles + ice cream Unfortunately, I'm from HK so my taste buds can taste whether or not the egg waffles are good/authentic. From *my experiences*, the egg waffles are lacking in flavor in comparison to authentic HK egg waffles bc there's no distinctive egg aroma. Softens quickly as well (eat fast). Good egg waffles are supposed to be crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside...the egg waffles from here all crunchy all around :( It's a bit disappointing but not horrible. It will satisfy my cravings, but if I'm really craving for some good old waffles, then I head to Shooting Star (or visualize eating the real ones in my dreams). --egg waffles + ice cream combo: it's a lot for one person :) good but no wow factor as this combo is standard for many places --may adjust the flavor of egg waffles as needed (ie chocolate) ORDERING: Self-order kiosk. Wait outside, pick up time 10-15min. Be careful waiting outside at night. read more

Egg waffles are pretty darn tasty by themselves, so it's very next level to offer them with ice cream. Pretty filling too, so could easily be a full meal rather than relegated to merely a dessert. Cute little shop with a few spots to eat inside. Churro Egg Waffle w/ Ube Ice Cream, Red Bean and Condensed Milk: The waffle was like a regular egg waffle, that happened to be dusted with a little bit of cinnamon & sugar, so it was mildly churro-esqe. Still very tasty, since fresh egg waffles are awesome. Was nice to see ube ice cream offered, since that's trending in the dessert scene. There was a ton of red bean topping and only a little condensed milk, would have preferred the portions to be reversed though. But both were sweet and tasty. read more

Being a native Hong Kong born, I have tried many egg puff place and by far, this is worth my trip from SF to Berkeley to give it a try, omg, crispy outside and soft inside....so so yummy!! We had regular and chocolate favored, each had its unique taste! Just superb! read more

I've been craving the puffy egg waffles since it reminds me fondly of Hong Kong and their one dollar versions on the street. I decided to order their ice cream version because they had matcha and who honestly doesn't like matcha? Parking is definitely very difficult to find, especially when it's located down the street from UC Berkeley and in the heart of downtown Berkeley. I had to circle a couple times. When I walked in, the store is a small quaint hipster feel store with the ice cream on display and the menu board large and easy to follow. I ordered their matcha egg puff with matcha ice cream, a waffle cookie, and sprinkled flowers on top. Was it worth it for the IG shot? Yes. Was it deliciously flavored and packed with matcha? YES. I got a discount checking into Yelp so that was a nice touch. Even without the discount, I would totally come back! Yummy and a cute spot to catch up with friends. read more

Gadani - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Its waffley (yes, its my made up word) Its tasty, its eggy, its GADANI !! We totally discovered this epicurean delight when looking for a quick dessert place. Berkeley is always under construction, so you might miss this small unique experience if you blink. Its wedged between other businesses, and worth the try. I had never had a cone like this, or ice cream this unique. The cone is waffled into this cone thats bubbly. The bubbles are soft, with a delicate taste. Just go with it... its worth the experience. If you're not into cones, they offer various cup sizes. The scoops are a decent size, and a nice way to cap off a meal. The ice cream flavors vary, and frankly some of the most unique flavors that I have tried. Black sesame is like sushi. Have a scoop or two in a matcha waffle cone, with a drizzle of one of their sauces, (rose petal is delish) and you truly have a unique masterpiece. If you're not into anything that different, they have the traditional cookies and cream etc. They will allow you to sample the flavors, and you should. If you are hitting the more traditional path, go for the churro cone, with the ice cream of your choice, and have them drizzle caramel sauce on it. All the yum's will happen! I had the lemon sherbet, and it was this luscious, creamy, lemon goodness. The flavor was tart with a hint of sweetness. Its all house made, and melts quickly! Dont chat... just eat! You wont want to miss a drop! The creamy delights are pricey, and you're getting quality over drug store scoops. The cones are made with your order, so youre not getting day old cones. Your churro waffle cone awaits you! read more

Ahh I finally got to try this place out after being in Berkeley so many times. I really love egg waffles so combining it with ice cream was heaven!! My boyfriend and I shared the egg waffle ice cream. The cost came out out to be $8, which is expensive but it was definitely a treat!! We sampled the mango, taro, strawberry, and matcha. You neeed to try the taro!! It's not overwhelmingly sweet, just a nice hint. It was a good mix with the egg waffle. We drizzled honey over and it was bomb! It was cold outside but it was a nice place to drop by. Will definitely be coming back but only once in a while so I won't be broke lol read more

Gadani - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

This was my first time ever having an egg waffle and it was delicious!! I love how this place has a variety of flavors for both the waffle and ice cream. I wanted to try something new that not every place has so I got the almond pistachio and it was yummy. The pistachio flavor is strong and there are slivers of almonds in the ice cream, which adds a really nice nuttiness. I didn't think the matcha flavor was super pronounced but the egg waffle texture was perfect. I would also definitely recommend the rose petals and butter wafer additions -- they added aesthetic and flavor to the whole thing! The dessert was about $8 total, which is on the pricier side, but it was worth it as a treat for once in awhile :) read more

Gadani - Almond pistachio ice cream in matcha egg waffle with rose petals and butter wafer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

I feel like it'd be pretty impossible to have a bad ice cream experience, but I didn't think this place was anything to write home about. Ice cream is good, but in terms of creativity and flavor I much prefer Ici. The egg waffles are fun, but I don't know if the combo of the two is $8+ worth of good. I like desserts and sweets, but I thought everything together was a bit too much. I chose pistachio ice cream (really sweet, not much pistachio flavor), churro egg waffle (had lots of cinnamon), and Oreo crumbs over it (too much). Overall I think it'd be a fun place to to bring people for a somewhat different ice cream experience, but it's not a place I'd come back to for the flavor. As others have mentioned, there are usually homeless people sleeping nearby, but that's pretty typical for the area. read more

Gadani - Pistachio ice cream, caramel drizzle, Oreo crumbs, churro waffle, classic Gadani photo background - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Finally tried this place out and it did not disappoint! I saw all the pretty pictures and I was hoping it was as good as it looks! I ordered the egg waffle combo which comes with an egg waffle, a scoop of icecream and two toppings. I opt-ed for the classic egg waffle since I believe if the classic one is not done well, the other flavors will not be good either. I am a huge egg waffle fan and I have tried most of them around the east bay but they just aren't that good. I am glad to have found this place - their egg waffles are crispy on the outside, soft and spongy inside. Each pocket is half filled - which is an indication that it is properly made. Their strawberry icecream also tasted great with actual bits of strawberry inside. They don't have traditional toppings which one may expect - sprinkles, gummy bears etc, but they have toppings such as rose petal, caramel, butter wafer and more. Pricing is reasonable and the food presentation is great! I will definitely be back next time to try the other items on the menu! read more

Gadani - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

In general: overpriced items, mediocre taste, friendly service. Great for an Instagram if you're just doing it for the gram, but if you're actually looking for those familiar flavors from Asia, don't come here. Their signature is the egg puff and ice cream combo, which brings you to about $7 total. I'm totally okay with paying for quality food. I chose the matcha egg puff, and it honestly just tastes like any regular egg puff. None of the strong, bittersweet matcha taste. Their ice cream tastes great, however, they source it from another local ice cream shop. A second time I came for their really pretty red bean latte, but unfortunately they were out. I settled for the rose latte, but it honestly just tastes like any regular latte, no rose flavor. They put rose petals on top but the textures of the rose petals combined with the drink - this taste combo does not sit well with my tongue. I will probably be back to try their other drinks. Nice thing is they serve Third Culture Bakery's famous matcha custard cakes there which I love. read more

Oh my Gadani! I saw all the wonderful Yelpers photos of their egg puffs, ice cream, and lattes so I had to come check this place out. Located on Shattuck parking here can be a doosey so I would suggest walking to this place. When you walk in you're greeted with their minimalistic and clean interior with their well known plant sign to the left and plants on shelves near the register. In terms of seating they have about 3 window bar stools, 2 tables inside, and an additional 2 tables outside. If you couldn't tell their most popular dish is the Combo ($7.95) - Egg Puffle Waffle + Ice Cream + 1 topping. With tip it came out to a little over $9 for just one item. Not the cheapest place to get egg puffs but it was totally worth it for us. I enjoyed the fact that they let you sample as many ice cream flavors before ordering because let's be real, green tea, toasted almond, etc. it's hard to choose. We opted to get the classic Gadani waffle with toasted almond ice cream and a honey drizzle. YUM. My mouth is just watering thinking about how good it was! Once you order it takes about 5-10 mins to get your item and all utensils are self-serve from where you pick up your sweet treat. Now on to the dessert itself. The egg puffs were nice and crispy on the outside and just the right amount of fluffiness on the inside. I've had experiences with my egg puffs getting overcooked so this was a nice change. They scoop the ice cream right in the center so no need to worry about it melting all over the cone. It's perfect because as you eat the egg puffs at the bottom soak up all the melted ice cream and omg. I really enjoyed the toasted almond ice cream with the original waffle because it wasn't too sweet. Pairing it with the honey drizzle added the extra sweetness without being overpowering. I definitely need to come back to try their matcha egg puffs, matcha lava cakes, mochi muffins, and lattes. Maybe they should start a rewards program because I for sure would be racking up those points. lol. read more

Gadani - Classic with toasted almond/honest drizzle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Quick Summary: - Light delicate flavors, sweets and in drinks - Pretty and cute interior - Limited seating area This cafe is our first place we tried the bubble waffle dessert. I was very glad to try it here. We didn't order the "instagram worthy" photogenic waffle cone dessert because it was too cold to eat ice cream. We also wanted to try the waffle on its own and eating ice cream will melt and soften the initial crispiness. I thought the waffle was a fun dessert. What I mean by fun is that one can tear the little round bubble waffle from the mass. It was like eating grapes. I loved how soft the bubble portion of the waffle and I liked the mellow banana and chocolate taste that came afterward. The thinner crust like portion of the waffle was crispy, and it reminded me of a soft fortune cookie. In all, it was like eating two different desserts at the same time. I feel this was easier to eat than a banana and chocolate pancake. For the drink, I was a little disappointed it wasn't topped off with a mint leaf, like the one it advertised in the poster - but I don't eat the mint so it was okay. The overall drink was light in flavor, so I took it like a refreshing drink. My family, on the other hand, said it was just a lightly steeped green tea and they were disappointed that the cheese cream didn't change the drink flavor. I do admit, the cheese cream tasted like it was missing the salt that I've come to know from tasting other drinks with this cream. For those who prefer a refreshing drink, I would recommend this, but it will taste different from the usual drinks with the cheese cream. read more

Gadani is one of those Instagram worthy places that knows how to serve two normal desserts and transform it into something unique. Who doesn't love egg puffs or ice cream? Well Gadani combines the best of both worlds by forming the egg puffs in the shape of a cone and adding a scoop of ice cream of your choice inside. Yummmm! For $7.65 you can get an Ice Cream Combo which includes an egg puff flavor of your choice (classic, match, chocolate, or double chocolate), a scoop of ice cream, and a topping. Pretty sweet deal! (Pun intended!) I ended up getting a matcha egg puff, with a scoop of chocolate banana ice cream and oreo cookie crumbles. The puff was nice and crispy on the edges while being soft and fluffy on the inside and really had a good matcha flavor. The ice cream flavors didn't really stand out too much but still tasted good. And they give you a big enough scoop of ice cream so there's enough for every egg puff which is a plus. read more

Flavor wise, the options were very limited. Aside from the typical flavors (vanilla, cookie and cream, chocolate, etc), and some interesting ones (horchata, lavender), there wasn't a good variety. Moreover, the ice cream was a let down and I wished the flavors were more developed. For the egg waffles, I thought it was alright. My friend ordered the chocolate strawberry and although it was good, the strawberry flavor was completely nonexistent. I got the churro egg waffle and although it was decent, I wouldn't order it the second time around. Overall, this is not the best dessert shop in the area, but the store is cute and it's a great place to check out if you're with friends who like taking photos and have a sweet tooth! read more

I was surprised the rose petals added another dimension to the blueberry yogurt ice cream I chose. The egg waffle was hot and crisp as well (though I've heard it's not the best egg waffle).

I still made the right choice but yes, save yourself trouble and taste before you commit heh. I got the traditional egg waffle and it didn't let me down. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I wish I ate it faster because the ice cream with the warm egg waffle made it mushy xD They also had mochi muffins and green tea custard cakes in which I have been dying to find, but too lazy to venture out so this was a great surprise.

Egg puffs, soft pillowy best eaten fresh little puffs. It's like the Asian version of popcorn, they're so addicting you really can't stop eating them. Gadani is like the name brand version of egg puffs compared to these other places like eggettes, etc... It's classy, expensive, and worth your monies. Chocolate egg puff with strawberry ice cream topped with rose petals - how delicate does that sound!? The chocolate puff was perfectly cooked with a nice crispy outer and soft inner. The strawberry ice cream was loaded into the puff cone. The rose petals added some texture and a hint of floral. The portion is HUGE so make sure you save plenty of room for this dessert Ladies and Gents, not only is it IG worthy, but it tastes good too. read more
