Reviews - Gadani
Reviews summary
Nestled in downtown Berkeley, this charming ice cream and drinks shop boasts a selection of unique flavors like matcha and lavender, along with delightful egg waffles. While many visitors rave about the deliciousness of their creations, from the lavender ice cream to the decadent double chocolate waffle, a few experienced issues with service and order communication. However, the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make it a popular spot for dessert after dining or before heading to nearby UC Berkeley events. Though some wish for more classic options, the experience overall promises delight for adventurous taste buds.
Was Joyce L at Gadani a mag?
A cute little ice cream/ drinks mom and pap shop located in downtown Berkeley. They didn 't have extensive ice cream selections ~10 , however, they had some unique flavors to choose from... ube, matcha, dark roasted green tea, hochata, etc. Best of all, serving it with an egg waffle was the best. : View all feedback.
What Olivia Pesso dislikes about Gadani:
When we inquired about the wait time for our ice cream, the staff informed us it would be around 20 minutes, as they make the waffle cones fresh on the spot. Unfortunately, this was only communicated to us after we had paid and placed our order. One employee, who seemed to be in a managerial role, was quite abrasive and unwelcoming.
My friend's waffle cone arrived broken and overly doughy in the center. If you enjo... View all feedback.

Absolutely excellent! The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. Make sure to use the entrance near the BART station, as the other door is closed. It’s definitely worth the drive from Fremont—everything is just so good! The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I will be returning many times!
I admire their unique style; it's truly one of a kind in Berkeley. I will definitely be returning!
Crispy waffle that tastes fantastic! This is the best Hong Kong-style waffle I've ever had in the US!
Best matcha latte in the bay. Almond milk available upon request!
I went here couple of days after the opening. I ordered the waffle and pistachio ice cream. Love it so much. Also, the Rose Latte is a must try. Great place to hangout with friends. They have spacious place to eat in. Great waffle, drinks and customer service. Definitely will come back again!

Unfortunately, this was only communicated to us after we had paid and placed our order. One employee, who seemed to be in a managerial role, was quite abrasive and unwelcoming. My friend's waffle cone arrived broken and overly doughy in the center. If you enjoy unique flavors like matcha, lychee, or Thai tea, this place might be worth a visit. However, if you’re looking for classic flavors, I wouldn't recommend it. Overall, our experience was disappointing.
I visited this restaurant in search of a matcha dessert after finding the nearby matcha cafe sold out. The matcha egg waffle did satisfy my craving, though it wouldn't be my top pick if I were specifically craving matcha. The lychee ice cream was refreshing and not overly sweet. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience! The staff was friendly, and the interior was adorned with lots of charming decorations.
I absolutely loved the double chocolate waffle filled with warm chocolate, and the cardamom pistachio flavor is fantastic! I just wish they offered more vegan options!
Hours on here are wrong. Second time I come and it's closed. Please update!! Looks good though
Perfect spot to have yummy dessert after dinner! I feel like you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Our little party of 4 decided to each get something a little different and I'm glad we did. The cute decor is perfect for pictures and gives the place a nice relaxing feel.Definitely worth a try! We can't wait to go back to try something new.
