Legit, Fantastic, Sweet Belgium
If I had a nickel for every time we anxiously tried a supposed authentic Belgium Waffle in the US … well, we could holiday again in Belgium …
Charleston has a legit authentic Belgium Waffle Place! Sergio and Audrey have an amazing (and straight from their hometown in Belgium) recipe.
We found this Gem just walking around King Street the aroma lured us in and we chatted the first day with Sergio, and the waffles were beyond what we hoped for. Our waffles were so good we went back there for breakfast Saturday, the next morning and had more waffles. We also met Audrey. We had fun conversations with both and the food is simply amazing.
By the way, you might ask is it really that good that you went two days in a row? We say yes, but what is amazing is we were visiting, but on both days we ran into a man and his young boys. They too came two days in a row but they live walking distance … yes the waffles are that good.
If you know real Belgium waffles you don’t need me to say anything more. If you are thinking, “Really I’ve had Belgium Waffles and its not a big deal …” then you need to stop in for a sample because these are the real deal and you will be amazed.
There are enough toppings to last you a month … enjoy ….

We have been customers since shortly after they opened in James Island and FELL in LOVE!!! Seriously, we would make the 45 minute trek there from our home justfor these beauties and it was NEVER a disappointment. We have remained loyal customers when they moved Downtown and it's always a treat. Plus Sergio and his wife could not be nicer people. They are exactly what you want in a small business: they appreciate their customers, getto know them on a personal level, and have a passion for their product. I cannot rave enough! If you are in the Charleston area, you HAVE to stop in.

Here with my family for a short trip and could not pass up this store with the smell of delicious waffles in the air on king street. The owner was also a very sweet person. I wish I could give more than 5 stars with how good this waffle was.

Awesome waffles. They aren't as thick as some other Belgian styles, but still very delicious and lots of high quality toppings to choose from. The hot chocolate is also delicious.

Walking near Sweet Belgium, the incredible smell drew me in and the waffles did not disappoint. Sergio correctly recommended that the waffles did not need any additional butter. I got the large plain with only maple syrup and it was amazing.
The service was great and Sergio was able to gladly tell me a little of his story (I asked) while we were there.
There are lots of choices on King St. and I’m happy to report that Sweet Belgium is now one of my favorites. It’s a small footprint restaurant so just follow your nose for some delicious Belgian waffles. I highly recommend them for both the quality of the food and outstanding service.
