Wafflavor
1596 Sherman Ave, Evanston, IL
Crema's Take
“Wafflavor is a Korean-inspired gem that's earned serious devotion for its ultra-crispy waffles layered with fresh fruit and house-made creams that walk the line between indulgence and restraint. Beyond the standout waffles, they're creating buzz with viral sensations like their Dubai Chewy Cookie and inventive drinks like the Mango Yogurt (which reviewers describe as dessert in a cup), all crafted in-house with genuine care. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where families feel welcome, the owner's warmth shines through, and people are genuinely willing to travel across the city—or even have items shipped across the country—just to experience what they're doing.”

Duzonku was seriously delicious. I ordered it for delivery because I live in Dallas and we don’t have anything like this here. I kept seeing it on SNS and was really curious what it would taste like, so this was my first time trying it — and it did not disappoint. It wasn’t overly sweet, the flavors were so fun, and the packaging was beautiful and felt really thoughtful. I shared them with friends here in Dallas and everyone loved them — I got so many “thank you” and people kept asking where I got them. It was a small but really perfect gift. I’ll definitely be ordering again!
We came all the way from Downtown by subway only for this and it was so worth it. I've never tried Dubai Chewy Cookie and it was such a̤̫ great experience:) I will definitely go there again! Also, the waffle was amazing, was so worth 1hour subway😖💕
Had to do a quick take out run with my newborn to try the waffles and grab the new dubai chewy cookies as a 두친자 in Chicago! The waffles are AMAZING!! Just like the ones I’ve had in Korea!! We thought the cream wouldn’t taste the same but we were wrong!! As for the dubai chewy cookies?! THE BEST i’ve had so far!!!!!!!! Chewy, crunchy, sweet, savory, very much pistachio, it’s addicting!! I stocked up but I’ll be going back to try other waffle flavors and other drinks!!
So amazing! The food is so delicious! Mango waffle, blueberry cream cheese waffle-out of this world. Mango yogurt drink was crazy. Made in- house, more like a dessert. Owner/ server is so sweet! Need to come back!!!
Wafflavor is such a gem! The waffles are super crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the cream with fresh fruit tastes amazing. For those who don’t love overly sweet desserts, the cream cheese waffle is a must-try—it comes with everything seasoning and scallions, making it savory and so delicious. I also tried takeout, and the waffles were still chewy and soft on their own. If you like them extra crispy, just pop them in the air fryer for a few minutes and they taste freshly made again. My kids especially love these as an after-school snack.
