Walking through Brugge we stopped in a shop to ask where to get the best waffles. We were told "Oyya" . Asked another local the same question and was told Oyya. So-we went to Oyya. . Located in a somewhat tourist focused shopping area, you order at the counter and as there is no seating, you eat outside. Not my favorite way to eat but when in Belgium.............................. Oyya also has ice cream so my wife ordered her waffle with ice cream and I had mine with caramel sauce. All I can say is WOW. I've never had a waffle so good. Full of flavor with a nice firm texture. Plenty of "block " seating outside. Not a very good lap eater but at least I didn't make a mess! Next time I order waffles for breakfast I'll be disappointed that they won't be as good as the waffles from Oyya. read more

Delicious waffles! Sweet service. I'd definitely come back... it hit the spot! The ice cream looked amazing too. read more

2018 Gelato Contest Winner for Best Gelato in Belgium. so, i actually bought ice cream across the way at di vinci then i sat outside of oyya to eat my ice cream because there was seating available. as i was eating my ice cream i then saw that they won an award. so what did i do? like any other foodie i finished my ice cream cone. i went in and got samples then I ordered some. :) the texture is firm and definitely has a great quality in their gelato! it was heaven i tell ya! i ordered the pistachio and i have to say that i am really glad i didn't leave Belgium without trying oyya. it was really good and i am surprised there's not a line out the door. you can definitely taste the difference between oyya and di vinci across the way. there wasn't even much of a price difference. they offer an array of other desserts as well. i would highly recommend oyya if you are in the mood for ice cream/gelato. go give your sweet tooth something to talk about! 2 thumbs up! this yelper gives her stamp of approval! read more

Was decent, not my fav in the city but still 4/5 stars. Great location near a lot of shops

AMAZING gelato flavors. I got biscoff (speculoos) and ferrero rocher, my sister got kinder, and my mom got mango & coconut (vegan.) We also got a waffle. read more

Oyya is right across from another gelato place but seemed more local. They have gelato and waffles, and it's only €2 for the first scoop. They have interesting local flavors like Kinder Bueno and speculoos and also have vegan sorbets. - Rum raisin: strong on the rum - Speculoos: sweet cream gelato with lots of speculoos crumbles Their gelato was super smooth, and nothing was too sweet. It's worth a try in Bruges! read more

One of the quintessential experiences in Belgium is to try a liege waffle. Luckily I was able to do this on my first day in Oyya, a dessert shop in Bruges selling ice cream and waffles. Liege waffles are known to be made of a thicker batter resulting from dough using yeast in comparison to the Brussels waffle (of American breakfast fame). Furthermore a traditional Liege waffle has pearl sugar on top so that when it cooks, the waffles impart a crispness to its surface and when you bite into it, it's already sweet. Hence for me there is no need to make it even sweeter, though there is an option to add toppings like strawberries, whipped cream, Nutella and speculoos ("cookie butter"). For €2.50 I was able to get a plain waffle. Simple yet still good. The waffle was still quite warm to the touch. Though on a later visit when my dad bought a waffle with whipped cream the waffle had to be rewarmed on the waffle maker. A line can form in front of the store yet it goes by quickly, less than 5 minutes. However the line is shorter than Chez Albert, one of Bruges' well-loved spots for waffles. Though they sell gelato it doesn't seem to pass the gelato test with the gelato itself being piled up high like pillows. Besides the waffle itself is already sweet as is, no need to add to my daily sugar intake! read more

If not for the "milkshake" here, we would have given this place four happy stars. We stopped here on our way out of Bruges since it was right by where we parked our car and we had been out in in the hot sun walking and boating all afternoon. Our kiddo got a scoop of their oreo, which had perfect consistency and creaminess. One of us got the lemon sorbet and, daymmmm, it was probably the best that she's ever had. So wonderfully balanced between sweet and sour and a wonderful soft whip to it. Sooooo good. The other one of us ordered banana chocolate as a milkshake and what came out was a cup of liquid milk that tasted like bananas. We admit that this was our first time ordering a milkshake in Europe (there are a few things that America does well and this is one of them), so two explanations are possible: 1) we were being punked or 2) A Belgian milkshake is just pure milk. The mystery will remain unsolved since this will also be our last time ordering a milkshake on this continent. Three stars. read more

This place has the best ice cream I've ever had and I went twice in one day! Their flavors are creative and so delicious like "Kinder Bueno", "Ferrero Rocher" and "Speculos". They taste exactly like the candy sooo why not get all 3? The Belgian Waffles are just as good and you can get tons of toppings like bananas, speculos, white chocolate, nutella.... read more

Yum. After walking around town, we began to notice all these people eating waffles. The swaff of waffles cooking was really irresistible. We gave in and went in. A nice gentleman helped us as we ordered the waffle topped with whipped cream and chocolate and caramel sauce. Boy, was that delicious! read more

Belgium waffles... Can this please become a thing in the U.S. :'( The waffle is so amazing, unlike anything I've tasted before. It's dense, sweet and rich in flavor, and is very, very filling. My boyfriend ordered the Belgium Waffle with Chocolate, Cream and Ice Cream, and he chose the Ferrero Rocher flavor. It's spot on with the original flavor of the chocolate! They added a creamy whip cream, and garnished it with milk chocolate drizzle that immediately hardened on top of the ice cream to create a beautiful contrast in texture. Definitely do not want to miss out on this place when you're in the city! read more

Yes, this is slightly pricey compared to the gelato store across the street. But sample it and you can taste the difference. This is smoother and richer!!! I tried the pistachio and hazelnut. Loved both of it! However, the ice cream here do melt a lot quicker. Nonetheless, I would definitely come back for more! read more

Overall, I think their ice cream leans more on the sweet side. That's understandable because most of their clientele are probably children and their touring families. Of the ones I sampled, I liked the raspberry, pistachio, and mocha the most. They offer vegan ice cream here as well. Overall, satisfying for one of the historically hottest days in Belgium. read more

Went there after dinner and was so happy to see 3 vegan flavors so I enjoyed all 3! It was so delish!

Great stop in Bruges serving fantastic waffles and ice cream! Friendly service! Love this shop!!! read more

Love the waffles here. They're cheap, full of sugar, and the place has free wifi. I had to stop the guy from putting more sugar on my waffle, which he thought was funny; I admit, it was a hilarious interaction. I don't know how people do it! There's public seating outside of the store front so feel free to take a seat and do some people watching. read more

On a wet and rainy afternoon in Bruges, my partner and I decided to get gelato. Brilliant. Between us, we had the following flavors of gelato: ferrero rocher, kinder bueno and toblerone. Our favorite was the kinder bueno (the sweetest of the trio), super tasty! For the quality and portion that you get, Oyya is very inexpensive. Too bad we didn't get the chance to try their waffles, but if I ever find myself in Bruges again, I'll be back to try the waffles and the other gelato flavors! read more

I love everything about this ice bar!! All the flavors I've tried are spot on and delicious. I went here twice in a weekend. Located across a gelato shop, so if you're feeling for a more dense and rich type of ice cream, this is the place for you. Lighter and fluffier would be the gelato shop (Da Vinci). The area outside is also nice to just sit and relax wth your ice cream. I ordered Ferrero Rocher, strawberry, and Kinder (the candy). They were all representative of what they're supposed to be! Prices are reasonable, 1.50 for a single scoop, 2.90 for a double. And I don't remember how much the triple scoop is but it's probably worth it as well. The servers were sweet and were quick. Definitely would come back here if I'm visiting Brugge again. Recommended!! read more

Oyya - Overestimated how much I could handle and ordered strawberry and kinder. - Desserts Near Me - Bruges, VWV

After reading that they have the best waffle in the city, I had to come and check this place out. After looking at all the ingredients, I decided to get a waffle with speculoos butter and whipped cream. This made for quite a rich treat, but the flavors were excellent. The waffle was also still warm and a bit on the chewy side, which I really enjoyed. Definitely not a bad place to check out, especially for a sweet snack. read more

If you have to choose a single waffle place for your trip to Bruges, pick that one. Better than chez Albert by far! The waffle dough is crispier and better done and the dark chocolate is very tasty. read more

Probably the best waffle I had while I was in Belgium. They are affordable and you can get all sorts of toppings on them! Highly recommended. There is also a large selection of ice cream too. read more

The BEST plain waffle in Bruges I tried. I went twice per day every day while we were here and just got the plain waffle with a little powdered sugar. The ice cream/gelato/sorbet was also pretty great but I mainly stuck to the waffles because they were THAT good. read more

I sought this place out based on reviews, and it was definitely worth it! It was the best waffles I had during my stay in Belgium. The waffle itself was warm and fluffy, and the gentleman cooked it fresh right in front of me. I got the special with chocolate sauce, ice cream (you can pick any flavor!), and whipped cream. My friend had chocolate sauce and bananas and raved about hers, too. Their ice cream was great, and I think they make it themselves. The price I paid for all that was fair--some of the streetcart waffles were similar in cost but nowhere near as good. I am still thinking about this waffle. read more

Yummy... I like to keep my reviews simple and to the point and this place does the same. Nothing too crazy or out there. (Flavors being the exception) There is ice cream, frozen yogurt and waffles! That's it, no crazy colors to catch your eyes or loud music to draw your ear. Just simple great tasting ice cream or frozen yogurt on a vessel of your choosing and done right. Speculoos (spiced shortcrust biscuit) is amazing, the (rum-rozijn) rum and raisin will get you drunk from just the raisins alone, but a nice pairing against a warm freshly made waffle. Thank you Oyya for keeping it simple, you certainly got my attention. read more

Definitely the best place in town to try out a traditional Belgian sugar waffle! Nicely crisp on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside. The ice cream is amazing too! I particulary liked the Kinder Bueno and the Pistachio, made without any added coloring, which really adds to the natural taste! They also offer some vegan and sugar free ice cream flavors. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great Waffles with a great fresh topping the shop also have a good selection of fresh Gelato

Holy moly great waffles over here. Served with fresh chocolate (white, milk, dark). These also happen to be what my wife says are 'real waffles' (not thin, but has good substance to it). Tried other spots around which are good, but definitely recommend visiting this place once. read more

The waffles we delicious! Had it with strawberries and chocolate (you can choose from milk, white or dark melted chocolate). I didn't have room to try their ice cream, but looking forward to going back to try it. read more

We tried waffles from two other places as well, but Oyya's were the best: toasty on the outside, soft and tender inside, very flavorful. My wife said hers was perfect without any topping, but I enjoyed mine with banana, ice cream, chocolate syrup (the kind that hardens up on the ice cream), and whipped cream. I also went back another time for a Spekuloos ice cream cone, which was delicious. My daughter and her roommate had been to Bruges the previous year and had recommended this place. read more
