Service here 5/5 stars. Two wonderful employees answered our many questions and smiled the entire time. They told us their favorite savory and sweet top choices. Freshly made waffles here that are delightful and tasty. We ordered the $20 combo option of a savory waffle and an Authentic (no frills) waffle plus a drink. You can add toppings or order the specials with additional charges. The location is easy to find in the Koko Marina Shopping center. It is located closer to Zippy's. There is plenty of free parking available here. The store itself is clean and decor is minimalistic and relaxing. There is a water jug for complimentary water and syrup available for your waffle. I highly recommend trying the $20 combo special to try both types of waffles. We ordered our savory waffles- The Italian (prosciutto, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and mozzarella buratta) and the Savory of the moment Cold Turkey & Pesto (pesto, turkey, fresh tomatoes, kale and spinach mix). The sweet waffle order- The Authentic (brioche, vanilla and caramelized) and one with added cinnamon and sugar ($1.00 more). Overall waffle rating here 5/5 stars. The warm mozzarella cheese stretched out with the thinly sliced prosciutto on first bite! The acidic taste from the sun dried tomatoes and pesto complemented the saltiness of the prosciutto and mellownesses of the mozzarella. A perfect combination. My partner in adventure loved her turkey pesto waffle! She noted that the texture of the warm waffle was the perfect chewiness and thickness. She devoured her savory waffle. We shared the Authentic. No toppings added. I wanted to taste the waffle plain. It was the perfect crispy then chewy first bite. Not too sweet with vanilla undertones. Then we tried it with the syrup they offered. The warm waffle did not need the syrup. It was delectable as The Authentic. Food here is a 5/5 star rating. Update: I forgot to mention that if you attempt to say the name of this place, you will receive a 10% off coupon for your next visit. La Liegoise also has a stamp card. Don't forget to get it stamped when you purchase!
Ohhh La Liégeoise!! Located in Koko Marina Shopping Center the storefront doesn't do it any justice and as soon as you walk in...the decor is quite minimalistic with the yellow walls and red and yellow tables it's quite spacious and clean just a bit blah. The menu on the flip side are all on the basis using waffles...Belgium to be specific you can go savory or create your own sweet which is what I did and it's $7 with $1 for each topping choice (Nutella and Strawberries and Bananas for me). They also have "Waffle of the moment" which are limited specials, including "topping of the moments" all this is so much fun be sure to check out all the chalkboards that's filled with various flavors of the moments. You can watch them build your selection which is fun and though they did have a bunch of tables I decided to enjoy my waffle in the back along the marina just before the sunset the view was just spectacular. The waffle was pretty hearty, the richness did slow me down quite fast as I enjoyed it but had difficulty just half way through, the Acai Berry smoothie was yummy it's not too sweet and paired well with my waffle. They do have a stamp card as well where 10 stamps gets you an Authentic waffle with a topping of your choice, staff here is great very helpful as I was so confused creating this unique treat. Thank you!
Located in the old location where Sophie's pizza used to be, this place sells up fresh waffles with a unique twist :) I arrived about 15 min after they opened at 930, and though there was no line, 2 people were waiting for their orders. Unfortunately, only one lady was working so she had to make everything herself and run the cash register... so I had to wait awhile before she could take my order (however, I won't dock a star for this because a lot of places are short-staffed) I ordered the $20 combo which includes a savory waffle sandwich, the authentic, and a drink. For my savory choice, I chose the Italian, and I upgraded the drink option to an iced cookie butter latte ("speculatte") THE AUTHENTIC: I liked this the best (as it should be since it's their signature). The outside is slightly caramelized but the interior of the waffle is still fluffy.. and it's the perfect companion to coffee :) THE ITALIAN: two waffles (on the crispy side), with pesto, mozzarella cheese, sundried tomatoes, and prosciutto inside. Still pretty good with big pieces of sun dried tomatoes, but not my favorite as my waffle was a little burnt/too crispy on the outside for my liking. SPECULATTE: iced latte with cookie butter walls- this was good and paired well with the authentic I definitely look forward to coming back to try other items :). However, if you are in a rush, I wouldn't recommend coming here.
La Liégeoise is a new, authentic Belgian Waffle shop at Koko Marina Shopping Center. There are both sweet and savory options but at the time of my visit on March 26th, the savory options were not available. I believe they rolled out savory staple options on April 1st. The staple sweet option is The Authentic for $7. The dough is palm-oil free, made with fresh organic eggs, brioche, vanilla and is caramelized. For just $1 more there is a plethora of toppings such as Nutella, Cookies and Cream, Salted Butter Caramel (my choice), Maple Syrup, Strawberry Jam, Whipped Cream, Speculoos Cookie Butter, White Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Choc'In (not sure what that is), Cinnamon Sugar, Powdered Sugar, and even a "Waffle of the Moment" or "Spread of the Moment". My waffle was homemade and prepared in front of me. It was served fresh and with a smile. There is a beautiful setting in the back with tables and chairs overlooking the marina where I could enjoy the waffle and bring my pup. So here is my verdict. It was not what I expected at all. The waffle was really heavy and I could barely finish it. It's heavy because it's more of a mochi-type texture and was not of the lighter, crispier variety to which I'm accustomed when I think about a Belgian waffle. The inside maybe needed to be cooked through more. It was too chewy and dense for me. I was expecting something much lighter and crispier. The topping I chose was delicious, but way too sweet. I was also really missing a cup of coffee to go with the waffle. That would have been a nice complement. So I later noticed on their wall menu "You can specify the cooking according to your taste". Could I have requested a longer cooking time? On my way back to my car I walked through the shop again and noticed almost everyone stopped eating their waffle about halfway through. Their forks were down, and they were sitting back in their chairs. I am assuming they hit the same proverbial "wall" I did when I tried to eat all of my waffle. It's just hard to finish and after a while, you start to feel like the dough doesn't sit well in your stomach. Maybe I will return to try a savory option. Maybe I'll return when they can serve coffee with my waffle. Maybe I'll return when I can specify the cooking so it's lighter, crispier and less dense. Or maybe, that's just how it's supposed to be.
Employees were friendly. My brother tried a waffle dog with cheese. I got the authentic waffle and matcha latte. They make it after you order it. Waffle was nice and warm, had some crispy parts and chew to it, tasted sweetened by maybe vanilla and caramelization. Matcha latte was okay, tasted earthy. Waffle dog was good also and some crispy bits, just the hot dog seemed a little salty. Saw they have frozen yogurt, may try that with a waffle next time.
Congratulations on your grand opening and thank you for the free waffles!! First 500 customers today, 3/18/23 Saturday get to sample a sweet waffle freshly made, and no line when we went! Tomorrow you can start to add a topping and in April they will start to do their savory waffles. Waffle was made fresh and hot when served and the brioche inside has a similar texture to a croissant, crispy on the outside. This place is between Mikinola and Zippys at the Koko Marina Shopping Center where Sophie's pizza place used to be. So glad to see new spots moving in after old ones are closing, Hawaii Kai needs some freshening to their food scene! Lots of parking in the shopping center but it can get crowded as they have many events or side walk craft fairs on the weekends. Looking forward to trying another flavor of waffle in the future!
I happened to be in the area and remembered about this shop. The owner was the. She's very friendly. The shop is clean and the decor is nice. I ordered the Italian savory waffle. It's a good size and filling for me. I decided to take it out instead of eating in. It was packed nicely. I shared it with my cousin. It was tasty and filling.
Waffles are freshly made in front of you. Crisp and perfectly sweet. We tried both the sweet and savory "Waffle of the Moment." Sweet had bananas, crème brûlée and crumbled Biscoff like topping. Savory had crisp bacon, goat cheese and maple syrup. Both were amazing. Restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. Fun French Aloha fusion.
Liége waffles are finally here in Honolulu! In case you don't know what they are, they're not the ones we Americans are familiar with. These Belgian waffles are made with pearl sugar and yeast so they are chewy and light with a kinda of a crunchy texture from the sugar. A little sweeter than the American ones. A friend who is aficionado told me that a shop opened in my neighborhood so hubby and I jumped in the car after dinner and headed right on over. The shop is located in Koko Marina Shopping Center on the water side. It's next to Zippy's. Tons of parking. The inside has a nice area with tables to enjoy your waffles So the waffle... so good! We ordered one with Nutella and banana. The "authentic" which is a basic unadorned waffle is $7 and additional toppings are $1each. The banana slices and Nutella were perfect on it. Then we realized that in order to really judge the waffle itself, we needed to get a naked one. So back to the counter to get an Authentic. Yes- this was the real deal! It was crispy with a sugar crunch and a chewy but light inside. Since it is made to order, it was hot and crispy. I recommend eating them there instead of taking them home. I would imagine it would lose some of its hot and crispy magic. The menu offers ones with savory toppings as well as smoothies but they won't be available til April 1. We will back to try them. Especially when we were given a stamp card! Come by-try something new and say bonjour (or in our case bonsoir) to the very nice brother and sister running the shop!
The foodie scene in Hawaii Kai is heating up with a ton of new restaurants opening up, including this new Belgian waffle place that has taken over the space formerly occupied by Sophie's Pizza! They held their grand opening on Saturday, March 18, and offered 500 free waffles to those coming to help them celebrate. You could purchase waffles, they were just doing the free samples - you can begin purchasing the waffles with the variety of toppings starting tomorrow. Next week they will begin offering their smoothies, and then you can purchase the savory waffles starting April one. What makes these waffles special? At first bite you'll wanna leggo those Eggos forever - a brioche dough (Flown, In. From. France) with coconut margarine makes for a really fluffy, caramelized interior. Cannot wait to try the savory waffles!!
Nice ambience, nice people. Unfortunately, the liege waffles lack the traditional sugary crispy deliciousness of Belgian liege waffles. Though freshly made as I observed, the final waffle is soggy and lacks flavor. Super disappointing, especially after driving from north shore.
Saw this place when I went to return an Amazon package to the UPS store. It's a cute little shop next to Zippys, right near the marina. At first we were confused because the sign said they were closed but people were inside and we weren't sure whether they worked there or not. Luckily an employee walked in and flipped the sign and we followed her in. The smell of freshly cooked waffles hit us and we took a moment to study the menu. There were lots of toppings to choose from, even a few savory options. Because we'd never tried these (I mean we have but never fresh ones) we decided to try the authentic version with no adornments. You can ask for preferred cooking time so I asked for extra crispy. There was seating inside as well as outside but because it was a bit warm we chose to sit inside. There was a small wait but that's because the waffles are made to order. When we finally got ours, it was warm and smelled delicious. I see a couple reviews who think these are the Brussels style waffles like Julian's but these are Liege waffles people. They're denser and studded with Pearl sugar which creates a nice sweet crunch while eating. And I must say these are absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside, tender and fluffy on the inside. Tbh these needed nothing added to them. The Pearl sugar inside gave them a nice sweet touch and you can actually taste a bit of the fermentation of the dough. Not too sweet which I prefer. The workers were very nice, especially the woman at the register who was nice enough to teach my sister how to pronounce the name of the store lol. Only downside is that they're on the east side and I no longer live out there. I will be making more trips that way to enjoy these waffles!! Liege waffles that aren't prepackaged. Love it!
LOVE this shop! Delicious waffles & amazing service. The owner is so very kind and is willing to explain how things work if you are a first time customer. The options for sweet or savory waffles makes for great diversity. You can go there for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack! We have tried both the sweet and the savory and everything is delicious.... Don't pass this spot up, come and eat!!!! Our last order: 1.) The Authentic - Choc' in & Spread of the moment, Fruit Loops 2.) The Authentic - Maple Syrup, Cinnamon Sugar, Fresh Bananas on the side 3.) The Frenchie Drinks: Hawaiian Sun, Milk Box TOTAL $38.74 (Pre-Tax; $37.00)
Waffles for Lunch in Hawaii Kai, Honolulu, Hawaii... My friends and I tried to dine at La Liégeoise a couple of weeks ago, and they were closed. There was no notice on Instagram, and we had driven all the way out to Koko Marina (during normal business hours) for nothing. A couple of weeks later, I called several times to make sure that they'd be open. No answer. I messaged the business on Instagram, and they answered that they were adjusting their hours. They promised to be open when we planned to visit. We parked easily and for free by Zippy's. We were greeted cheerfully and noticed the brightly decorated shop... very festive and cute! There was a comfy sofa corner, children's corner, and Instagramable wall murals. The back patio overlooks the marina! We each ordered the Combo: one savory waffle sandwich, a sweet waffle, and a drink for $20. I got the Frenchie sandwich with pickles, smoked ham, garlic & herbs aioli, and emmental cheese. It was filling! I liked the plain, Authentic waffle. It had a nice crisp and some caramelization on the outside. We tried to pronounce the name of the business, and each received a 10% off coupon for our next visit! Thank you! read more
I visited with a friend and she got a nutella strawberry waffle while I got the Norwegian I believe? It came with Lox and was super tangy/savory, would recommend if you like lox and bagel type breakfast flavors! - Miguel Morales Photography read more
Stopped in for a late afternoon snack. Ordered the combo menu to share which comes with a sweet waffle, savory waffle, and cold drink. The savory waffle had a harder, drier, croissant like texture. The Italian consisted of prosciutto, pesto, sun dried tomato, and burrata, and best eaten like a sandwich. Opted to add on caramel sauce to the authentic/sweet waffle and watched as it was made fresh. I enjoyed the soft and slightly chewy texture of the sweet waffle. The caramelized exterior was blunted with the addition of the sauce. The cashier/waffle maker was friendly and helpful. They use 2 different batters for the sweet and savory waffles. Lots of tables inside to enjoy your treats. Plenty of parking in the Koko Marina Shopping Center. read more

A perfect place for a snack when you are craving something sweet. The staff is extremely friendly and assists with recommendations. The setting is cute, which makes it a great place for a sit down with a date or a small group. Currently they are only serving their dessert menu and will start serving their savoury waffles on April 1st. It is now my go to place for a light snack during the day. read more

I took one bite of the crispy on the outside, soft, fluffy goodness on the inside Belgian waffle and it was the best tasting and textured waffle I have eaten in my entire life (and I have lived just over the border from Belgium in the Netherlands). The menu is diverse and offers both sweet and savory. I would recommend with a mixture of caramel and Nutella. Fresh fruit available: bananas, and strawberries, and sometimes blueberries. The savory options include the Frenchie, which is made with a non-sugary waffle dough was just the right amount of ham and cheese. The vibe is friendly, the atmosphere is very clean and bright. Plenty of seating, and a lovely view of the marina in the back. The owner-pastry Chef is delightful. read more

This is in a great location and the colorful interior is really attractive from the outside. When we walked in the menu was pretty easy to understand. We had a hard time picking between the sweet and savory waffles. One of us wanted the Italian but we were glad we asked about the pesto for a nut allergy-it has pine nuts. We decided on 2 Frenchies and an authentic waffle. The authentic was perfectly crispy and slightly sweet. The Frenchies were also crispy and hot with a great flavor. Just the right amount of each ingredient. The waffles made for the perfect sandwich 'bun' and made for a great brunch after a hot hike. One of us was still hungry so I would recommend getting 2 if you're extra hungry. read more

The overwhelmingly delicious smell of fresh hot waffles was like walking into a waking dream. It was the first of many pleasures that La Liegeoise has produced for my wife and I on our visits to the restaurant. We first tried the Waffle with speculoos butter and the Frenchy, one sweet and the other savory and both delicious! On our next visit we had the waffle of the day (see photos) and the Norwegian, again, both were amazing. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming; the restaurant is clean and bright. Highly recommend! read more

Good service. Tasty waffles. Favorite so far is the Frenchie! Açaí Berries smoothie is refreshing. I would give 5 stars if they added a sauce on the side for the Frenchie. I added syrup once home and that elevated the waffle, but would be nice if they crafted something they feel would compliment the Frenchie and other savory waffles. Try it and you'll be happy! read more

Yay another new eatery in HK Koko Marina. The shop is pretty spacious and I believe it's in the location that used to be Sophie's Pizza (RIP). It's very clean inside, there are seats inside and outside on the marina which is nice. It was a super hot day so I'm glad the AC was on full blast it was a nice break from the heat. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and quick while still being thorough. We got the sweet "Waffle of the Moment" which was the special they've been having that had the classic liege waffle, brûléed sugar and cinnamon bananas, speculoos crumbs, and a big container of homemade whipped cream. The waffle was not overly sweet, crisp on the edges, soft and a little chewy (in a good way) in the middle, and all the toppings were so perfect. I'm amazed how balanced it was and that it wasn't sugar overkill. I love desserts but hate when it's just sweet and one-note which this was absolutely not! We got the waffle to go and I loved the way it was packaged thoughtfully so that the waffle didn't get soggy (yay side whipped cream without needing to ask for it that way) and didn't make it any messier than it needed to be. I have literally no negative feedback at all. I loved it and we will be back!!! They have savory options as well so next time we'll have lunch here and get a savory and then a sweet one. Check this place out, you will not regret it! read more

New waffle chain from Europe. Waffles can be ordered savory or sweet with various toppings. The waffle has a nice bite with being both slightly crispy and chewy. Reminded me of a crust on Neapolitan pizza. read more

Just tried La Liegeoise. It's a new eatery in Koko Marina. Its a bright, open and cheerful place. We were greeted by friendly staff. They were helpful and explained the menu: yellow part was for sweet items and the white for savory. We had several sweet waffles and a savory one. All were yummy! The sweet waffles were tasty and filling- it can be a nice breakfast or desert or snack. For the savory sandwich we had the English. This waffle sandwich is put together and then toasted. I gotta say- that was a great sandwich! Very filling. The toasting made the waffle so crispy and flaky! La Liegeoise is a wonderful new place to eat in the Koko Marina shopping center in Hawaii Kai. I highly recommend! read more

New place in Koko Marina in the old Sophie's spot near Zippy's. It was nice and clean. The worker was nice and friendly. We ordered the authentic and Italian with a Swoon Pink Lemonade drink- all for $20. Both the sweet and savory were delicious. My only suggestion would be to have both made fresh. Especially since it wasn't busy, I wouldn't mind waiting for the waffles and savory Italian to be made to order. The oil in the pesto made the waffle a little soggy despite being warmed in the oven. read more
