The story of Otto Waffle Atelier began in 2017. Otto, Katrien, and their son Tom wanted to launch a unique waffle concept. And not just any waffle. In addition to the Brussels and Liège waffles, they also wanted to put the Bruges version of the Belgian waffle on the culinary map. A completely new recipe and a unique waffle shape.

Katrien, a farmer’s daughter with a love of oats, ensured the waffle was gluten- and dairy-free without sacrificing flavor. The recipe was tested, tasted, and fine-tuned for two years until it was perfect. The shape, a nod to Bruges lace, was designed by their daughter Charlotte.

In 2019, they opened their first shop in the heart of Bruges, and since then, they have been baking waffles that are not only delicious but also carry a piece of passion and family history.

The Otto Waffle Atelier story continues with Tom and Charlotte. As brother and sister, they share the same passion for waffles, quality, and experience. With respect for their parents’ craftsmanship, they are now taking new steps: from innovative flavors to creative concepts, from social media adventures to expansion plans.

“Our goal? To grow Otto Waffle Atelier without losing the warm, authentic feel of a family business.”

Together they continue to build a brand that’s not only beloved locally but also has the potential to make an international impression. And of course, they ensure that every waffle, as always, brings a smile to your face.

Otto Waffle Atelier stands for quality, authenticity, experience, and sustainability. Our core values ​​form the foundation of everything we do.

Healthy base, premium quality
