    Super cool space with gaming nostalgia to it! There's quite a few rooms with bean bags and also a nice patio. The staff were super kind and helpful. I got the tiger ube and it was pretty good overall, the boba could be a bit better, a few pieces could be a bit softer. My partner got the cold brew boba latte and said that his boba pearls were better and soft and the drink could be a bit sweeter, but overall good. Definitely Instagram worthy!

    Super casual place with so much seating and a huge selection on the menu! We saw a sign pointing towards Matt's basement that advertised coffee and hot chocolate. We were walking around Stillwater at 6pm so a lot of the other coffee shops were already closed. It was pretty quiet and we ordered quickly. They mentioned opening a couple months ago and plan to host several events that they post about on their instagram. I got a hot chocolate and we all shared their chili. Both were great! We stayed for a bit and played uno, but they have several other games you can use during your time there. The seating was so comfy and really felt like a "basement" hangout spot. I'm glad we ran into Matt's Basement and hope to come back soon!

    What an incredible addition to downtown Stillwater! I stopped in for dessert after my birthday dinner and I was not disappointed. The owner, Matt, is so nice and helpful, and the chef, Ruby, is exceptional. We got three waffles - two Strawberries and Cream and one Traditional Boba Waffle - and two Strawberry Fields bobas. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it all was. The boba waffle was primarily mine, and the boba was fresh and flavorful, the waffle somehow crisp and pillowy, and the whipped cream and drizzle the perfect topping for it all. I also snuck a bite of the strawberry waffle, and wow, what a flavor explosion! The strawberry syrup was so delicious, and it had a drizzle of what looked like sweetened condensed milk. My mouth is watering just writing about it. The boba tea was so dang good. I honestly think this is the best boba I've had, and I've been to a lot of places. The seating is plentiful and varied. The beanbags are so soft! And, though we didn't have time to try it, the gaming is such a nice touch. I can't wait to come back to try my hand at N64 Duck Hunt. Prices are great. Atmosphere is great. Location is great. This is such a gem. Thanks to Matt for opening what is my new favorite place!

    Matt's Basement is a nice addition to Stillwater! I'm so happy that there's boba tea in the area now. The drinks are delicious and the addition of real fruit in the drinks make them special. The shop is cute with plenty to places to hang out and chill. There are ample spots to get cozy and stay a while. Ample seating on the patio as well. Service is amazing, answered all of my questions. I will definitely revisit when I am in the area.

    The vibe here is pretty cool. I had the Tiger Ube with boba pearls and the flavor was super flavorful and tasty. Very vibrant colors! Service was great! Very helpful with questions that I had, also very personable. Definitely a must stop when in Stillwater, MN.

    Came for dessert and was blown away how delicious the boba tea and waffles are.  Thanks guys great customer service also.

    Wow! Stumbled across Matt's basement tonight. We were looking for some dessert and this is a must stop. We tried the strawberry and chocolate chip waffles and they are fantastic. The kids got bubble tea as well which was delicious. You won't be disappointed if you swing into Matt's basement.

    Love this social place: pac man, piano, comfortable sofa, meeting room , and more. Plus boba tea!

    Strawberries and cream bubble waffle to-go!  Wish I had time to eat inside!  So cozy!

    Food, service, ambiance, this place has it all. The owner Matt is an incredibly cool guy too. Go here now! Highly recommend the popping boba teas and the strawberries and cream bubble waffle is to die for!

    This place is located in a strip mall with a fair amount of free parking…read more The vibes here are clean, well lit and modern. There is seating inside and two tables outside. We were the only ones there at the time. The staff did not seem to want to be there and after my sister and I ordered, one of the two employees just went on break. So it took a fair amount of time to get our food. Staff wasn't rude but definitely didn't go out of their way to be friendly. The food: The waffle bites, Nutella crepe, and fruit salad were all tasty! Note: the longer you wait to eat, the chocolate solidifies! By the end we were just scraping the chocolate off the plates. The chocolate was very tasty!! The prices are a bit ridiculous in my opinion. It's delicious no doubt. But the service needs an upgrade and the prices need to be dropped a little.

It was also smothered in sauce. Lots of sugar, so I'm glad we shared one and so is my wallet. It did come with fruit more than I expected based on the listing on the menu. It was a pretty good size so that was good but I got to say spending $20 on a single crêpe felt way overpriced. I was expecting somewhere in the $12-$13 range. I would definitely say it's overpriced. The interior was pretty nice and clean self service as far as putting away your own tray and garbage which is no big deal. There was a couch seating area, which is pretty nice and then then the other side was more like diner tables so kind of a weird vibe inside. I don't do this often but honestly, I can't say I would recommend this place mostly just because of the price.

The first thing you notice is the smell of fresh waffles. And it's lovely. They have a selection of different creations and specials that you can order from. And if you are not in the mood for nice cream, they also have some interesting drinks you can try like bubble tea and smoothies. But try the ice cream. The ice cream is creamy and delicious and the creations, while not cheap, are very tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful and will assist you if you have questions or not able to decide. We like this place for a sweet treat or a special celebration.

    Wonderful savory and sweet waffle creations - 5 stars!…read more Tonight I caught up with The Bougie Waffle at Alloy Brewing in Coon Rapids. Everything looked so good, I truly had a hard time picking what I wanted. So I ended up getting 4 different items. Okay...so I ordered 2 of the signature items. First, I tried "The Sweet Chick" with a sweet potato waffle, fried chicken, maple glaze, with spices, topped with a few sliced jalapenos. Wow - heavenly! I also ordered the signature "SMACKaroni" mac & cheese creation with several cheeses including Gouda. Again, a home run. Both of these dishes were a smaller size so they came together in one clamshell box. The mac & cheese functioned more as a yummy savory side. It was perfect. I was so delighted with the flavors, I went back and I ordered 2 more foods to take home. I got the savory "Chicken Dumplin" waffle, topped off with diced scallions. It came with a side of fried rice. And last but not least, I went with a super sweet selection, "Nana's Puddin" waffle with sliced bananas, nilla wafer cookies, caramel, and whipped cream - Ya' Man! Every bite was excellent. If you look closely at the waffles, they're more than just standard waffles. I noticed lots of detailed little ingredients and spices. They're definitely unique and the flavors are nice and balanced, not overpowering. I don't hand out many 5 star reviews but The Bougie Waffle definitely earns it! I love, love, love the food. And I really enjoyed chatting with the owner. She was very nice and cheery, despite the chilly temps and the windy fall night. Burrr!!! According to the owner, she recently moved up from a small vendor cart to a fully outfitted food trailer. I wish them many years of success. Thumbs up! -Maxx

There is plenty of parking in the mall's lot. There is handicap parking, but it is in front of the next store down. There are a couple of picnic tables outside, as well as a couple tables. The tables are pretty close to the drive-through so if that will annoy you, avoid them. Inside is bright and cheerful, good space with plenty of tables for a crowd. A few of the tables seemed to be a little closer to each other than they needed to be, but they were fine. When we first decided to go here, we thought it was a small, independent store, but it is a franchise. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind. There are two all gender bathrooms, cute art, and merch that includes bags of their coffee. My husband had the breakfast burrito and gave it a 7 out of 10. Apparently on the website it said it came with cream cheese, but that is an error because it did come with sour cream. He said it was good, not super fancy. It was cooked in a waffle iron so it was nice and hot. In fact I think everything here is cooked in a waffle iron. He also had a mocha which was very good and chocolatey. I had Nana's cinnamon rolls (also cooked in a waffle iron. They come either with two or with four. They are fairly small so I went with four, which ended up being about one more than I could eat.. They were good. There was a good amount of cinnamon, which is important to me, and the frosting was good. They were sweet, but not overly so.

We opted for two of their signature drinks. They were good, a bit in the sweet side. They seem known for their mini cinnamon rolls which looked good but also very gooey and likely very sweet as well.

It's in a strip mall so plenty of parking and they recently put in a small patio which will be good come warmer weather. If I lived closer or am in the area I'd probably try again but likely won't go out of my way for a repeat visit.
