The presentation is there, but I've had definitely had better ice cream and waffles at other places! I ordered the matcha red bean but was super disappointed in it. There was too much going on flavour wise, the matcha waffle was not fluffy and was super bitter! I ended up throwing the whole thing out .. read more

Golden Bubbles - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

[LOCATION] - 5/5 This place is located on Midland and Finch at the plaza with QQ Thai Ice Cream, Chatime, etc. Parking lot is huge because there are so many restaurants in the vicinity [SERVICE] - 5/5 Service was great. Staff were friendly, and the girl who made our order was an amazing artist! She made our Signature Waffle look exactly like the one in the picture. [DÉCOR] - 5/5 Small but modern and aesthetically appealing as the walls were painted with a happy yellow colour & decorated with the cute logo. [QUALITY] - 5/5 One of the highest quality bubble waffles I ever had! The batter was perfectly soft and cakey, and went well with the cold and refreshing ice cream! [ORDER] - 5/5 Matcha Red Bean Signature Waffle (Full Cone) - $8.99: matcha waffle had the perfect amount of sweetness with bitter undertones. The consistency Sweet and soft red bean complemented the matcha flavours. [OVERALL] - 5/5 It's always hard to find a place that makes egg waffles with the perfect consistency for me. Sometimes, they are too crunchy. Other times, they are undercooked. At this place, Golden Bubbles made perfectly cooked and soft as mini pillows. A little messy to eat, but I think all ice cream cones should be made out of these egg waffles! Overall, I would definitely recommend Golden Bubbles for a delightful dessert. read more

Highly recommend the mochi waffles, just crispy enough on the outside while the inside is soft and chewy. You can either order from their signature menu or customize your own; I liked that there are a variety of flavours to choose from when it comes to the waffle, ice cream, and toppings. Reasonably priced for the portion, but definitely meant to be shared! read more

Golden Bubbles - two cups of ice cream in front of a sign that says from 1950 to canada's most beloved sweets - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It's a terrible place, I don't recommend going there, the manager ignores and doesn't respond to messages, they haven't paid salaries for like 7 months, I call and write but they constantly tell me that there is no money, I worked there for 4 months, but they only paid me for two, but I've been waiting for the remaining amount for 7 months already. Don't go to this terrible place read more

I was craving bubble waffles and decided to make a trip to Golden Bubbles tonight. I got the HK Milk Tea with Mochi and the HK Milk Tea Hot. The bubble waffle was made fresh to order, nice and hot. When I pulled it apart, you can see the mochi pulling. The bubble waffle itself was crunchy and slightly "bitter" on the outside, sweet and sticky on the inside with a bouncy texture from the mochi. After eating a few bites, it became too sweet. The HK Milk Tea reminded me of Hong Kong. It was strong and flavourful. Some would say it's "bitter" especially if you're eating the bubble waffle with it. If you've had HK Milk Tea though, you would definitely enjoy this. It is very strong, so for those who are caffeine sensitive like me, I would recommend sharing it with someone. I must say I was disappointed this time. The first time I had Golden Bubbles was at The Waterfront Nightmarket. I had the Oh Canada. It was recommended by the staff. Made with strawberry bubble waffle, 2 scoop of vanilla ice cream, strawberries, whip cream and a maple leaf chocolate. These flavour complimented each other so well it was the perfect combination. I got the full cone and I finished it all by myself. I generally need my bf to help me eat half my food but it was so good, I didn't share. The hot crunchy waffle combined with the cold ice cream gave it the perfect texture. The ice cream melted and softened the waffle (I think this is why the HK waffle was too crunchy on its own). Besides, who doesn't know that strawberry and vanilla are the perfect flavours. The chocolate was definitely a nice finishing touch, making it delicious and IG worthy. Also, love that the cone container is made well and even though the ice cream melted, it was not leaking all over me. BONUS POINTS! read more

Stopped by here to use up a 50% coupon I got from a yelp event! I got the matcha signature golden waffle. It comes with matcha ice cream, red bean and whip cream with a matcha flavoured waffle. The cost was $9.99. But with the coupon it came to $6 something but I'm not sure how that works because half of $9.99 with tax should only be $5.64. Each waffle is made fresh as you order so it can take a while if the place is busy. I think I waited around 10 mins for our dessert. Overall it was pretty decent, but nothing special. I found the bubbles too dense and not fluffy enough. The ice cream was very average tasting. I did also try their milk tea mochi waffle which was pretty good! There was a strong milk tea taste and the mochi gave the waffle some chewy-ness. The service was very good and the servers were super nice. So that deserves some merit. I want to come back and try their milk tea - apparently it won a 2018 award. read more

Golden Bubbles - Matcha Signature waffle $9.99 - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Where else can you find this stuff. Only in Toronto. If I was a guy who got stuck in an elevator with waffles and ice cream in my grocery bag, I may have dreamt of combining this stuff. A popular dessert place nestled near Silver Star Rd on Midland Avenue in Scarborough's trail of lined shopping strips. When we got here there was a lineup of over 20 people on a Thursday night! We got their signature treats: Oh Canada ( ice cream other strawberries with milk chocolate waffles and Macha ice cream with Cappuccino waffles) The second one is certainly to die for! $ read more

If you're coming here because the cute instagram photos are screaming at you to check this place out, let me be the first to tell you not to waste your money on a dessert that tasted so disgusting that I ended up throwing half of it out--and this is coming from someone who doesn't like to waste food. I know some people, when they eat an ice cream on a cone, their favourite part is literally, the cone. What makes a super awesome cone? The amount of sweetness a cone has in contrast to the ice cream. At Golden Bubble, when you order their signature bubble waffle, the bubble waffle acts as the "cone" to the filling that it is holding. As whip cream, especially ice cream, is significantly sweeter than the average dessert, it is important for the "cone" to be sweet enough to balance its fillings. Sadly, the bubble waffle failed to meet that expectation. I ordered the Matcha redbean and was extremely excited to try the matcha bubble waffle but after one bite, I almost wanted to spit it out. It did not have the matcha sweetness but tasted bitter and had an awful, super awful after-taste. Literally, I just ate the matcha ice cream and red bean and then threw out the bubble waffle. What I can't believe is that one bubble waffle costs $6. Please don't waste your money buying something that does not taste delicious. I was also distraught to see the workers when there's a half order, cutting bubble waffles in half and throwing the rest away. What a waste!! This is probably why the cost of Golden Bubbles is so expensive--to account for what they are wasting. Despite how displeased I was with the product, I am still giving this place 2 stars. The reason is purely because of the service. The amount of care that is placed on each bubble waffle whether in the making, cooling, or decorating, I just loved the attention it was given. Unfortunately, there needs to be some fine-tuning in the bubble waffle recipe. I want to wish Golden Bubble all the best and maybe... maybe I'll come back in the future once you've figured out how to make your product taste better. read more

I've been dying to try this place because egg waffles and mochi are two of my favourite things! I love that this place has so many different flavoured egg waffle and ice cream that you can top with a wide selection of toppings. You can make your own combination based on your own preferences. The store is a little small, just enough space for a line up to order and a line to pick up your order. The wait for the waffles depend on how extra your order is. If you just want a plain waffle, it's pretty quick. If everyone's ordering crazy custom waffles, it'll take a little long but they make it in front of you and it's fun to watch. The price can be a little expensive, depending on what you get. If you just want a waffle alone, the you can choose from so many flavours that other stores don't have and they vary from $5-7. Adding ice cream is $2.50-4 more and their toppings go from free-$3. We got the Taro Mochi Waffle with one scoop of Black Sesame ice cream and you know I had to get some free toppings, icing sugar and whipped cream. It came out to $10.73 with tax. It tasted good but not worth the price. Maybe I have to try a different combination. Our friends got the Milk Tea Mochi waffle and the Lava Cheddar Cheese waffle, plain without toppings. The Milk Tea Mochi waffle wasn't good. The flavour was very light and it was hard to identify the flavour without knowing what it was. I don't recommend. The Lava Cheddar Cheese waffle had two types of cheese inside, cheddar and I think mozzarella. It was good but felt like it was missing some flavour. If it had a sprinkle of salt to make it more savoury or maybe a dip, it'd be bomb. I'm giving this place a 3/5 because the flavours that I tried were just ok but I think if you come and create something you really like, it'd be a 4. P.S. These waffles make great pictures read more

Golden Bubbles - Taro Mochi Waffle with Black Sesame ice cream, icing sugar, and whipped cream. - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Golden Bubbles is a bubble waffle lover's heaven that has opened up in the plaza north of Finch and Midland. Golden Bubbles is a chain which first saw success in Ottawa, but which has now expanded to Scarborough and soon to Richmond Hill. This particular location has no seating whatsoever so takeout is your only option. In addition to the variety of waffle options, they also sell beverages such as specialty coffee and Sloane teas. Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes and slices are also available for sale. When you step inside the shop, the intoxicating aroma of fresh sweet waffle batter hits you and lulls you into waffle purchasing submission. They have well over a dozen flavours of waffles to choose from that are also available in mini (half) sizes. Waffles are made to order so it takes a few minutes to receive your order but they are served hot and fresh. We ordered the original flavour, the taro mochi waffle and the matcha mochi waffle. The waffles are lightly sweet and have a satisfying crunchy exterior. I really enjoyed the hot matcha mochi waffle which had the slight bitterness of matcha contrasted by the soft chewy mochi. The taro mochi waffle was also yummy but our particular waffle was a bit soft so lacked the contrast of texture present in the other two waffles. Different from competitor Woofles and Cream that serves soft serve, Golden Bubbles serves equally Instagrammable, artfully crafted bubble waffle cones with fruit and scoops of ice cream that are available in flavours such as taro, matcha, mango, and black sesame. As we came on a cold spring evening, we opted for the waffles without ice cream. I will definitely be back to try their milk tea waffle, their cheese waffle, and some of their ice cream waffles. read more

Despite the food being pretty good, while I was waiting in the store, I noticed that there was this older gentleman not wearing a mask while taking orders and preparing the ice cream waffles for my boyfriend and I. Even worse, he was not wearing gloves and I even saw him touching his face! Not only is this very unhygienic, we are also still in the middle of a pandemic and the spreading of germs should be tried to kept at bay. I also have no clue how this restaurant passed their food inspection! The store was completely filthy from the ground up. I noticed that there was so much cobwebs and dust on the hexagonal-bar designs on on the ceiling. I will be considering notifying the Toronto Health Department about this situation. I am sorry to say that I will not be returning to this store. Good luck with the business. read more

I was so excited to try this place! Unfortunately, it wasn't amazing but it was just okay. Upon arrival the staff greeted us with a smile and answered whatever questions I had. The staff were really friendly. However, service was super slow. I had to wait about 20 minutes for my waffle order. I got the strawberry dream waffle and I added a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. It was good, however I felt like I have definitely tried better waffles elsewhere. For some reason it was way too soft, not soggy, but close to that. I understand I added an ice-cream scoop (by the way, they charge extra for that) but other places also add ice-cream and the waffle didn't feel like this one. The strawberries were fresh, which was a plus. I also got to try the dulce le leche caramel cheesecake, which was good but way too sweet for just one person. There is no seating, it's more of a walk-in place. They are very clean, which is a huge plus! read more

Golden Bubbles - Strawberry Dream - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Who doesn't love egg waffles? I'm obsessed with egg waffles, and golden bubbles does it well. My favourite is their mochi series bubble waffle. It's delicious because ever bubble is filled with a mochi! Makes the waffle wonderfully chewy and delicious! Their flavoured waffles are okay, but when it comes to egg waffle batter, I'm more of a purist. I do like the eggy taste, and I like a crunchy exterior and a soft chewy interior. They definitely do that. They also have bubble waffle icecream cones... which is kind of hard and messy to eat because a hot bubble waffle is melting the cold icecream and halfway through i am eating a melted icecream soggy bubble waffle mess....which is still a tasty mess, but a mess. They do photo well though! The owners are nice and waffles here are consistent and perfect, just the way it should be. Probably one of my favourite bubble waffle places (even though I can and still do make it at home) read more

Hk egg waffles in cool flavours such as lava cheese, pork floss + seaweed, milk tea, and matcha redbean! They also have mochi waffles in taro and matcha flavours. I highly highly recommend the mochi waffles; they're strong in flavour and the perfect amount of chewiness. Definitely my favourite thing from the store and I will be coming back for more! They also offer specialty waffles which are ice cream + egg waffle. You can choose from the set menu or you can customize your own. They have a really large selection of drinks, all of which are low in sweetness, so if you prefer your drinks sweeter be sure to tell them beforehand! They have specialty espresso based drinks (coconut+espresso, lemon+espresso, and coke+espresso). I tried all 3 and I really liked the coconut+espresso one. They also offer a pretty good selection of cakes from the cheesecake factory's retail line. The space is nicely decorated; the only downside is that there is no seating as it is a small store :( the staff is super friendly and helpful in explaining their menu. Their grand opening date is April 7, and they will be giving away free waffles on april 7-8 from 1pm to 3pm! read more

If I could give this place ZERO stars I totally would! First off, the wait was over 30 minutes for one original waffle. And second, worst mushy egg waffle ever! I don't understand why this store has 6-7 people "working" when only one person tends to the cashier, one person cooks the waffles and another person adds toppings. By the way, the thing that pissed me off the most was the fact that service could've been faster but all the employees were too busy chatting it up with each other! I ordered one original waffle. The one guy behind the waffle makers started cutting up my waffle when it was done. Because he was too busy talking and not paying attention to offers he thought my waffle was going to be filled with toppings or something. I didn't care about this but before I could say anything the girl at the register yelled she would like to take the scraps and he ends up giving the WHOLE waffle to her in her hands. A different employee was trying to explain to me what happened and I told him I wouldn't have cared if the waffle was cut. I would've still taken it the way it was. Anyways since he already gave my original order away I had to wait longer for another one to be made. As for the taste, this was not crispy at all on the outside. It deflated less than 5 minutes later just as another yelped mentioned. I had parts to my waffle that wasnt even cooked all the way through. This was the worst tasting egg waffle I've ever had and on top of that the service made it the worst experience! You would think a newly opened store would have trained their employees better but instead people get paid to stand around to talk with one another and not do their damn jobs. If you want to wait in long lines for mushy egg waffles this is the place to go! read more

So I came here on Thursday night and liked it so came back yesterday to bring my mom. I'm going to start by saying this rating is more so because of the experience received at this place yesterday. I think I happened to come in where they were catering to social media influencers throughout the day. So here are my thoughts on this place. I would of preferred if they put a sign up and opened it solely for the media influencers at a specific time. Why ? As a paying customer I received a less than positive experience as soon as I entered the establishment. I came in and first thing said to me was "Are you on the list" and immediately felt segregated and less important in there as the answer to the question was 'no'. The person working there that asked walked me right to the front and told the cashier that I wasn't on the list. The feeling after that was just sadness that I wasn't on the list and wonder of how I could get on it. ALSO I brought my mom here because I came the night before and was passing by so I thought I'd let her try it. And with no surprise, my mom was wondering what this 'list' was all about too by the time we walked out. Alright as for the waffle itself I ordered the taro mochi and the matcha mochi flavours 7$ each. I would say the waffle isn't bad and that's why this place is getting a 2 not a 1 star. Generally the first day I came here would of probably rated it higher but with all the awkwardness it just dropped for me. And note- depending on how many people there are in there I think you could get a slightly soggy waffle. Overall worth it to at least try. Would I go back for the waffle? Yeah might even try something from their drink menu. The question is, would I actually come back based on the experience? Unsure. read more

Cute new bubble waffle ice cream place in the middle of a bunch of other yummy eateries. The place itself is small, maybe only 2-3 seating places. And if there's a long line, it really crowds the area. The service is great, everyone is super helpful. The flavours are very unique, I don't think I've seen anything similar at a bubble waffle place. I got the oreo specialty and the banana split. All were so yummy and perfect on a hot day. There's a couple of different sizes to play around with which I thought was super helpful. The egg waffles were well made, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, just as I like it. The price is pretty standard with competing bubble waffle places I thought. read more

I came back to redeem my free waffle! We came on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't as busy, just a couple of people ahead of us. With the free waffle coupon we were able to choose any waffle, 2 ice cream scoops and 3 toppings. (Basically anything except for the Cheesecake Factory cakes!) This time we ordered taro mochi waffle with taro and green tea ice cream, mochi, strawberries and chocolate wafer stick. This came to $17!!!! Before tax! Thankful it was free! I noticed this time the employees waited longer for the waffles to cool down, I guess it's because it wasn't that busy and they didn't need to rush as much. Seeing that I was super excited hoping that this time my ice cream wouldn't melt as fast. I had asked the employee to scoop the taro ice cream in first then green tea on top and she was very nice about it. As I was watching the different employees assembling the waffles, I see that everyone decorated differently... which may not be a big deal to some, as long as the toppings are on.. but as a foodie myself it really didn't seem right mostly because 1. Depending on who's making it, you may get more or less toppings (boo) 2. My phone eats first and not to be rude but seems like some employees just randomly puts on them on top, and I for one really do care about the aesthetics of my food.. especially if one were to pay $17 for waffle and ice cream!! To my disappointment, my ice cream melted shortly after stepping out of the store, in fact it was already melt when she handed me over my waffle. After snapping a few shots I just gave up as my toppings were falling to the ground. View photos! We had to ran back to the car and blast the AC in order to slow down the melting process. But this time the waffle was made perfectly and you can really taste the taro. The ice cream was MUCH better. I was very impressed. But again the bottom was SUPER soggy from all the melted ice cream. Yuck Overall, I don't think it's worth it. I was happy with my waffle but at $17 I don't think I'll come back unless they have another promotion. They also lack consistency in service and most importantly taste. read more

I saw the hype on Instagram and decided to try Golden Bubbles... and I was disappointed. However, it was the opening weekend, and it is understandable there may be hiccups in operations. We ordered taro mochi egg waffles ($7) and a mini me matcha red bean egg waffle with ice-cream ($6). Starting with the taro mochi egg waffle, it had no taro flavour, and it was made very moist and cakey (almost soggy). The mini me came in a cup, half the matcha egg waffle, matcha ice cream, red bean and a wafer. Again, the matcha egg waffle was overly moist and cakey but there was a strong matcha taste. They also didn't use enough batter cause the egg waffles were lopsided (not full - refer to my photo). We noticed after touching the egg waffles, there was a sheen on our fingers - oil? There was a long line up to order and to wait for the HK egg waffles. The wait to make the HK egg waffles is expected and normal as there are around 5-6 waffle machines, and each batch takes a couple of minutes to heat and cool. Overall, I think Golden Bubbles is overpriced especially for the taste and quality of their egg waffles. read more

So I've been here several times....my favorite order has been the pork floss bubble waffle and the strawberry shortcake bubble waffle. My boyfriend loves the original bubble waffle but it's $5 and we found it a tad over priced. This definitely hits the spot when it comes to bubble waffles! Check it out and order a bubble tea while you're in the area! read more

I really wanted to like the waffles but I don't see what's the hype all about. Yes, there are different flavours and toppings you can put in the waffle but it still tastes mediocre. I paid $7 +tax for the special flavour, taro mochi. We ordered within a few mins, and waited for our order for 20+ mins. This is understandable as it takes awhile to make the waffle, so be prepared to wait! The taro waffle had mochi, chewy bits in each cell. I was hoping to eat the waffle with the mochi still intact, but it all melted. As for the tasting, the taro flavour was way too subtle, as if it tastes like the original but with purple food colouring. My friend got the matcha mochi waffle, and it was dry and hard to eat. I honestly prefer the taro one just because of the softer texture. All in all, the waffles I've tried are just okay and mediocre. read more

Pros: Well made egg waffles Cons: Takes a while to get your order We just had lunch at a restaurant near by and decided to drop by for some dessert. Growing up in Hong Kong, the egg waffle always takes me back to my childhood. The aroma of a freshly made egg waffle is one the many joys of my childhood. The location itself is on the smaller side. The workstation probably takes up 75% of the entire store. The last bit is for where you line up. There's a bench at the front for some seating. This is definitely a take out operation. You're not coming as a group and expecting to be seated here. They have some cake slices here as well but when you're here, you're here for the egg waffles. They have some specialty waffles with pre-determined toppings but they also have a create your own which I really like. They have a couple of flavours of the waffle to choose from. The milk tea one was sold out and that was the one I really wanted, little disappointed there. Basically, a waffle is $5, ice cream is $2.50 for a scoop and $4 for 2 scoops. You get a sauce for free and toppings range from 50 cents to $3. If you're not careful you can easily spend $10-15 for a waffle and ice cream. It's a bit on the pricey side for me personally, but it's probably the going rate for these kinds of things. My biggest issue is the wait time for an order. We came when there was no one else there. Our order was started right after we made it. It still took a good ten minutes to get our waffle. I totally understand the waffles are made to order which is great, but the waffles I had as a kid were made to order and came out within 2-3 minutes. I can't imagine what the wait time would be if it was busy. Golden Bubbles definitely brings me back to my childhood. The waffles are well done and seeing as my little ones loved it too, it's kid approved as well. read more

I would say this place offers more savoury and specialty bubble waffles than the original plain bubble waffle. I've read a number of reviews about the long wait times for the waffles when they first opened. I was hoping they would be faster now that they've been opened over a month, but unfortunately not. There was a huge crowd of people when we arrived but no lineup. We were debating about what to get for around 5-10 minutes and the cashier was super helpful and friendly. We ended up ordering a white chocolate strawberry waffle with black sesame and coconut ice cream and fresh strawberries on the side and a pork floss and seaweed waffle with coconut ice cream and fresh strawberries and red bean on the side (we didnt want the waffle to get soggy). While waiting they gave us our ice cream first. The coconut ice cream was good - very creamy and had shredded coconut bits inside. The flavour of the black sesame ice cream wasn't strong enough. The fresh fruit was pretty sweet. We waited around 20 mins for both waffles to be made. They have four bubble waffle machines and it wasn't busy so we were confused why the wait was so long. The employees treat the bubble waffles with a lot of care, making sure each bubble had toppings. They made sure the waffles were perfect, ripping off all the uneven crispy edges (which I actually really like :/). The waffles were hot and crispy. The white chocolate strawberry one was a nice combo. The strawberry was like the taste of strawberry ice cream. Inside each bubble was white chocolate chips. Not sure if they were supposed to be completely melted but they were still in chocolate chip form when eaten. The pork floss seaweed one was great. One side was more seaweed while the other was more pork floss. It kinda reminded me of the pork floss egg rolls. There was no egg taste in either, probably because the flavours were so strong the egg taste was completed covered. Overall 3.5/5 which rounds up to 4 due to their excellent service! read more

Small dessert shop, part of an Ottawa chain with soon-to-open locations across Richmond Hill, Scarborough, and Mississauga, serving specialty HK style bubble waffles, ice cream, and HK milk tea. Seating - there is only about 2 tables (4 seats) and a bench, so it's more of a grab and go spot. HK milk tea - Golden Bubbles uses a special type of plant-based milk, rather than the typical high-fat evaporated milk. The tea is also quite strong, so if you like your HK milk tea strong, less sweet, and with lower fat-content milk, this would hit all of that criteria. Bubble waffles - we tried the matcha bubble waffle with matcha ice cream. The matcha bubble waffle is made with a matcha batter, and red bean in each of the pockets. According to the owner, the ice cream is also made in house, and it had a strong matcha flavour, but the consistency was OK. We also tried the HK milk tea bubble waffle, which was made with a HK milk tea batter and each bubble had a mochi in it. This one was a little more weird, and I wasn't a fan of the molten sugar blobs of mochi in the bubble waffle. The HK milk tea flavour was harder to tell in this waffle, but it may have been because of the sticky sweet melted mochi. We probably won't be back, but it was an interesting experience, and the owner is clearly very passionate about his award-winning blend of teas, the tea process, and the quality of his bubble waffles and tea. read more

Golden Bubbles - Matcha bubble waffle with matcha ice cream - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Everyone likes waffles right? But have you ever seen or tried a Hong Kong Milk Tea flavoured waffle? Seems like a lot to take in but let me take a moment to explain how I came across this sweet dessert that reminds me of home. Golden Bubbles is a successful HK waffle brand that aims to provide a sense of familiarity for lovers of deserts as well as traditional Hong Kong cafe style cuisine. The owner and master brewer, Alan Yau won the prestigious Kam Cha competition for brewing the best HK Milk Tea in Toronto. He then decided to launch a new HK Milk Tea series due to his success. The HK Milk Tea is very creamy and rich in flavour. The waffle, perfectly shaped with a smooth texture and doesn't break apart easily. One can simply just bite down and feel the chewiness. The ice cream options also go well with the waffles! Cheers! @EATWITHJACQ read more

So glad I finally got to try this place. My boyfriend and I shared a full size of the O'Canada. A strawberry egg waffle with vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup and toppings finalized with a maple shaped piece of dark chocolate. The ice cream was nice and fluffy and the waffle cone was very good. Soft and crunchy. It wasn't too sweet either. read more

I'm obsessed with ice cream and waffles so obviously when I heard that they opened one in Midland and Finch I just had to try it. It's a small shop in the plaza, and it's bright yellow inside, making it very distinct from the other stores surrounding it. I love the variety of ice cream flavours you can get, plus they have a lot of cool combinations for waffle flavours too. And they sell some of the popular cheesecake factory cheesecakes! My boyfriend chose to have the Matcha and Redbean one, while I made my own and chose Black and White Sesame waffle with black sesame and vanilla ice cream, and they were delicious! It did not take too long to make, plus you can watch them make it right away after making your order. The only downsides are that they are a bit pricey (if you want to make your own dessert, they have three free toppings but the rest are so expensive...) and there's no seating area too, but still luv it. read more

A lot of hype around this place since it opened because of it being all over social media. Decided to try this place out since I love hong kong egg waffles. They have 2 limited time flavours, taro mochi and matcha mochi. I decided to try the taro mochi ($7.9 after tax) since i love taro but the one I got didn't have a lot of taro flavour. So subtle it was almost non-existent. It tasted just like a regular egg waffle with mochi in each bubble. It stands out from the egg waffles from other places because of the different flavours but I think they can improve on their taro one. The egg waffle is not bad but for such an expensive price I was expecting more. Going to try out the other flavours and see how they compare. read more

Yummmmm! Takes me back to when we used to get these waffle snacks from Pacific Mall. The selection of flavours (sweet/savoury), mix-ins, and toppings are quite impressive. We've been here before, a long time ago, and remembered it was really good. Since our last visit, they've added lots more options. Our most recent visit, we tried the taro and milk tea waffles. I am not usually a fan of taro, but these were delicious! The outside is cooked to a golden colour, but the inside is similar to a 'mochi'. The milk tea waffles were similar, except milk tea flavoured! We also tried the original flavour, which you really can't go wrong with! Coupled it with a scoop of green tea ice cream we were good to go. Definitely recommend this spot if you're feeling like a snack or a yummy dessert. read more

This place is all the rage right now but I think my expectations were set higher as a result, and that led to a somewhat less than stellar experience here. We came on a weekday night and it wasn't too busy here, what I mean by that is that you didn't have to wait outside, unlike the one time I drove by on a weekend. There's a lot of options here, you can build your own creation or go with their signatures. We just went with a mini sized (it comes in a cup) matcha red bean waffle. It's a good sized and it was clean to eat in the cup which I'd prefer over the regular size. The waffle was nice and crispy; it was supposed to be matcha and poppy seed but those flavors didn't come through all that intensely. The waffle was finished off with matcha icecream, red bean, a chocolate wafer, and some whipped cream. The ice cream was good and everything was fresh tasting which was a positive but nothing amazed us. It's important to note there's absolutely no seating here beside a small bench by the windows but with the amount of people here, it's not the most pleasant or comfortable. We took our cup back to the car and ate it there. This is a dessert I'd like to have maybe walking around a bit and enjoying it. The location here makes it really difficult for that. Combined with the fact that the waffle was good, not great and was a bit pricey I'm not quite sure how I feel about Golden Bubbles. I might come back to try their others but I'm definitely not in a rush to do so. read more

Such great service and quality desserts! I had the black sesame waffle with coconut & black sesame ice cream. Topped with Oreos, sprinkles & smarties. 100% recommend the black sesame waffle & ice cream! So good! The waffles are cooked perfectly and aren't overly sweet. Compliment ice cream really well. I also had the chance to try their Mac and Cheese waffle which isn't avail in store but will be featured during Toronto's Mac and cheese event. Personally I think it could have been better with less bacon and if the cheese was melted/torched more, but regardless the green onion topping and green onion waffle are excellent. The Mac and cheese itself was also delicious and creamy ! The sweetness of the waffle compliments the saltiness of the cheese and bacon. read more

I enjoyed this place. My BF made his own: black and white sesame seed HK waffle with one scoop of black sesame seed ice cream and blueberries. And I got the Signature Matcha Red bean: Matcha poppy seed HK waffle with two scoops of green tea ice cream, wafer stick and whipped cream. Let me tell you... these people... CARE about your order. These generous people actually take the time to make sure that each bubble has the stuffing inside. Whether it be black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds or even cheese squares, strawberries and white chocolate chips I saw on other orders. The man decorating our order... GENEROUS. He piled red beans on my order, hand placed each blueberry on my Bfs order, and made the whipped cream look presentable. The HK waffle was just the way I love it. Soft and chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside also tasty. The ice cream is the usual taste but nonetheless still good. Not only are the people generous they are so welcoming and friendly. I had a miscommunication with the cashier. I thought I ordered the signature matcha red bean but they made me just the plan HK matcha red bean waffle. So when I got my order I was confused. So when I went to clarify, these lovely people refunded me money and charged me for the right one. They were so patient and apologetic, like it was my fault, but they kept saying sorry. So nice. I also got a free item card. Hello! So kind! Honestly great customer service and I'm not saying that coz I got that card. I was disappointed when they sold out of the Milk tea HK waffle and the mochi filled HK waffle. Like those were the two Reasons why I wanted to try this place out. But oh well I still got a bomb ass hell good dessert. I'm just gonna have to come back!!! What is a diet anyways? They need to make a location downtown Toronto! read more

Golden bubbles is near the back of the plaza, there's lots of parking which is a bonus. the inside is nice and clean (no sitting area tho) you can't really enjoy your ice cream inside (take it to go) I tried the mini me size which i really appreciate! cause i can't finish a full size alone. had the matcha waffles with matcha ice cream and res beans. the matcha ice cream was so strong in flavour and not sweet, the waffle was delicious they perfected the batter, because it was crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. would try other flavours again. I saw some pics of a mochi type waffle? must have been a promo cause it's not on the regular menu (bring it back) read more

Had the milk tea waffle with taro ice cream. My sister had strawberry waffle with chocolate ice cream. Taro ice cream - loved it. I can't wait to come back for it. Chocolate ice cream - was ok. Not a huge fan of chocolate ice cream so I'm bias here. My nieces and sister loved it tho. Milk tea waffle - The tea taste was mild for me and made no difference except adding a little bitter taste to it. Strawberry waffle - I enjoyed it more then the tea waffle. It went really well with the chocolate ice cream. Reminded me of strawberry covered chocolate. The container needs to be redesigned as it started dripping out ice cream not long after they handed to me. read more

Golden Bubbles - Milk tea waffle with taro ice cream. Topped with Michigan, cookie's n cream, and wafer. - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I tried their taro mochi waffle. I like the crispiness of the egg waffle. It is interesting to put mochi inside. However, after a while, the waffle start to get moist and soggy. Price-wise, $7.99 plus tax for a snack is slightly pricy. I like the original egg waffles better, yet I guess I will give it a second chance for the savory or Hong Kong milk tea flavor. read more

Golden Bubbles - Taro mochi waffle - Waffles Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here on a Friday's afternoon. Waited for about 10-15mins since they make it fresh and there were a few people in front of us. I got the limited time offer taro mochi bubbles. Gotta say I'm slightly disappointed - it tasted like artificial taro (similar to the flavour of powdered taro drink), but the texture is good and the amount of mochi is generous. But service was good and the bubbles cone with ice cream has a very nice presentation read more

Walk in for that heavenly smell of egg waffles!! I'm so thankful another egg waffle place has opened as my OG fav at Market Village has shut down. Golden bubbles has a wide selection of flavours for both waffles and ice cream. I was surprised at some of the unique flavours they had like strawberry or HK milk tea. From the reviews I've read, HK milk tea seemed to be a very popular choice! I came on a stat holiday in the afternoon and there was a bit of a wait time as they make each waffle fresh. Alone, the HK milk tea waffle is a little bitter but, the taste is definitely there. I think if I had it with ice cream, the flavour would definitely be enhanced! Can't wait to come back and try it! read more

I want to stop by here and see what all the hype was about and was fairly pleased with my visit. I came here on a weekday and on a weekend about 6-7 pm and there was barely a line up which was a plus. They have some already pre set waffles, but if you want to create your own you can do so as you please lots of option to make your own customize waffles I gotten the mochi taro waffle which is a limited time offer item not sure when they are lasting until but will totally recommend on getting it! There was mochi in every bite and the waffles were so soft loved it! The matcha ice cream tasted pretty good as well! It's kinda expensive but it's so worth. No seating read more
