Liege waffles originated in Liege, Belgium. Made from a yeast-rising brioche dough, the waffles are perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. And thanks to the Belgian pearl sugars that are baked into the dough, they even offer a hint of sweetness and caramelization.

Liege waffles are much denser than your average waffle, so typically one waffle is enough to satiate your appetite. However, you won’t be able to resist trying all of the different flavors that Little Gem has to offer.

You can customize your waffle with an assortment of toppings that include fresh fruit, Nutella, chocolate, matcha cream, and more. Alternatively, you can opt for the shop’s signature creations, including the I’m Gemmin’ It (Nutella and strawberries), Crown Jewel (creme de gem and strawberries), or the Golden Bear (churro, cream, and banana.)
