So, what's a "real" Belgian Waffle after all? Interestingly, many people who think they've been eating "Belgian Waffles" their whole lives, either at home or in their local diners, have not been eating what actual Belgians consider to be real waffles at all! Whereas the typical American version of a "Belgian Waffle" is often just a simple liquid-based batter leavened with baking soda, (and needs toppings of various kinds in order to be enjoyable), our Liege-style REAL Belgian Waffles are made from a complex brioche-style pastry dough leavened with yeast, and lightly caramelized with a special sugar called pearl sugar, all derived from an 18th century recipe. THEY ARE SO GOOD YOU CAN EAT THEM PLAIN ! Have you ever done that with a waffle before? And while there is no one single style of "Belgian Waffle" in Belgium (there are actually several styles eaten throughout the country), our Liege-style waffles with their semi-crisp caramelized crust and chewy center, are definitely the most popular.

About Our Chocolates
Neuhaus, the inventor of the chocolate praline (bite-size filled chocolates), and in business since 1857, is one of the finest chocolatiers in the world. As an official supplier to the Belgian Royal Court, Neuhaus makes its chocolate from only the best cocoa beans available, sourced directly from the indigenous Bodjonou cocoa farmers of the Côte d'lvoire (Ivory Coast). Using only fresh and natural ingredients, and secret chocolate recipes over 100 years old, their handmade creations are second to none.

Homemade Belgian Ice Cream
Our homemade Belgian ice cream is churned the old fashioned way using all natural ingredients and Belgian know-how. We do not use any added preservatives, chemicals, stabilizers, or artificial flavorings. It's served in simple unpretentious clear plastic cups, because it doesn't need any slick packaging with fancy graphics in order to get your attention. In fact, we even discourage the use of toppings, because our ice cream is already so flavorful, that it doesn't need any help. So stop by for a couple of scoops and you'll understand what the buzz is all about.

About Our Pastries And Candies
All of our cakes, pies, and pastries are homemade creations using a fusion of Belgian, French, Dutch, and German recipes, which form the core of Belgian cuisine. We use only all-natural ingredients and Belgian know-how. In order to ensure freshness, quality, and optimum flavoring, we respect the seasonality of various fruits, so not every item will be available all year round. Our gourmet candies are made for us by independent artisan candy shops all across Belgium, and flown in bi-weekly. These are true, Old World European candy artisans who specialize in nothing but gourmet candies. Their creations are sometimes so clever and attractive, that you' re not sure whether to take a bite, or take a picture...
