So, what are Liège waffles?
Liège (pronounced LEE-AGE) waffles are richer, sweeter waffles than the typical Belgian waffle. They were invented by the chef of the
prince-bishop of Liège, Belgium in the 18th century as an adaptation of brioche bread dough. Chunks of pearl sugar are folded into the
dough. They melt during the rising process and form a crispy, caramelized exterior when baked in our cast iron waffle press. We’re not
messin’ around here, folks.

Liège waffles don’t need maple syrup or butter...But we won’t judge you if you order them. We recommend taking a bite of the waffle itself before deciding.
Our kitchen processes wheat, dairy, meat and eggs. Anyone with severe allergies to these ingredients should avoid eating from our kitchen.

our story
W
e (brothers Dave and Omer) grew up travelling around the world, and as kids we
spent time in Belgium. One of Omer’s first memories is of receiving a delicious Liège
waffle from his kindergarten teacher in Brussels after a full day free of him causing a ruckus.
Since our departure from Belgium, we have been obsessing over Liège waffles and the
possibility of making our own some day.
In 2009 we spent some time in Latin America and, upon running out of travelling money,
Dave got a job in England. After having realized it wasn’t for him, Dave called Omer (who
was on a farm in Argentina at the time).
About a day later, we met up in San Francisco. We bought a Honda Prelude for a $1000 and
started driving north with nowhere in mind.
We got to Eugene and immediately fell in love with the place and the community. Shortly
thereafter, we settled down in a little orange-and-yellow-painted house in the West
Jefferson neighborhood, near the Whiteaker neighborhood. We knew that Eugene would be
the perfect place to open an authentic Liège waffle shop. It was out of this house that we
finally opened the original
Off The Waffle. We spent about a month making signs, spreading the word, preparing the
shop and developing the recipe (which is always in the works).
We were very lucky that Eugene was (and still is) a small, tight-knit community. Word
got out extremely fast. The shop eventually got so busy that we found ourselves with no
option but to look for a larger place to serve waffles.
Upon hearing of the old Baskin-Robbins location being up for grabs, we moved in and
remodeled. We opened the doors in January of 2010, and so far the South Eugene
neighborhood has been unbelievably welcoming. Since then, we have been joined in our
waffle efforts by Shimon (our dad and longtime waffle enthusiast) and Vered, our little sis.
It did not take long before we became known for having excellent food, and lines to the
door became a regular thing. Space got tight, and we began to think of options that will
give us and our customers some room to breathe. In June of 2012 we started remodeling
what used to be the ‘Wich House’ in Downtown Eugene to become our second location.
We opened the doors in November 2012, and we are currently as happy as ever.
Along with our crew of world-class waffle bakers, we continue to bring Eugene a wonderful
waffle experience. Nevertheless, we are still just babies in the restaurant world, and we do
not claim to have it all figured out. For this reason, it is crucial that you give us as much
feedback as you can to help us make more people more happy.

Thanks, and enjoy the ride!
