— Our Story

A unique spin on the upgraded waffle cone.

Founded July 20, 2021 in Downers Grove, IL by childhood friends Omar and Barra — on a shared vision to revolutionize the world of ice cream and build a comprehensive dessert destination.

Omar and Barra, Eiffel Waffle co-founders
— Why we started

Crispy outside.
Soft and fluffy inside.

Omar and Barra grew up as childhood friends with one shared obsession — desserts that were as visually stunning as they were luxurious to eat. Eiffel Waffle is what happened when they finally set out to build it.

We’re committed to creating phenomenal ice cream treats that every person in America can enjoy — made with love, served with a smile, and designed so every customer walks out knowing they’re loved a waffle lot.
