Crema's Take

“Ole's Waffle Shop is a cherished Alameda institution that's been perfecting the same waffle recipe since 1927, drawing loyal crowds who don't mind the wait for genuine diner nostalgia and a genuinely great breakfast. The golden waffles are the clear star here, served in a comfortable, family-friendly setting with friendly staff and affordable prices, though expect a line on weekend mornings and plan accordingly for street parking. It's the kind of place where a century of tradition actually tastes like something worth the effort.”

What to expect

Ole's Waffle Shop offers hearty meals served by friendly staff in a very comfortable setting. Prices are very affordable and there is parking out front on the street. This is a very nostalgic place and I really enjoyed my meal.

Came here on a Sunday late morning. All street parking so took awhile to find a spot. Waited about thirty minutes in line for five people. There is two sections of this place but it's super busy so there was a wait outside. This place has been here since I was in grade school.…
