European Waffles = Wondrous = Gaufre Gourmet
Gaufre is a french word for waffle.
Charlene Wesler is The Gaufre Gourmet proprietor, chef and chief waffle lover! Michael Susak is a chef and a lover of fine food.
Together they will be sharing liége style waffles and their love of gourmet cuisine
from a food cart in Portland, Oregon.
Are you excited?
You will be after you eat a Gaufre Gourmet waffle.
They’re sooo good it’s a crime.
The Waffles
The liége style waffle is made from a sweet brioche-style dough (not a batter) with big chunks of pearl sugar that are kneaded into the dough immediately before baking. The yeasted dough gives these waffles a dense and chewy texture, while the sugar gives them a sweet flavor and a
carmelized coating.
“We have worked for the last year to perfect our recipe and bring the very best liége style waffle to Portland. Our pearl sugar is imported directly from the source in Belgium.”
~Charlene Wesler (GG)
Liége style waffles are delicious all on their own (and everyone should try one plain) but The Gaufre Gourmet is taking these wondrous waffles to the next level by adding fresh, local ingredients.
Whether you want a sweet treat or a savory meal, The Gaufre Gourmet will tempt your taste buds with the Northwest’s bounty of seasonal offerings.
And they aren’t stopping at waffles . . . The Gaufre Gourmet makes all of their own waffle toppings from scratch, with the best fresh and organic ingredients available.
“We put our heart and soul into these creations and we know that you will taste
the difference.”

The Coffee
In taste tests all over Portland to find the very best coffee to serve with their waffles, GG found that Illy had superior taste and smoothness.
The Gaufre Gourmet proudly serves Illy Coffee.
Illy is a family owned business run by the founder’s granddaughter. For 75 years they have been bringing the best coffee and Italian espresso to the world.
All Gaufre Gourmet employees have been trained in the art of Italian espresso. You are invited to come taste the quality and craftsmanship inside each and every cup of coffee!
“Illy Coffee goes perfectly with our waffles.”
