shaky alibi

i want to go back!. my husband and i were too impatient to wait for food at bld so we popped over to shaky alibi. we left very happy campers! the owner served us and told us about how he sources his own coffee and uses his great grandmother's waffle recipe...it was really pleasant to see how much he cared about his business and it definitely came out in the food, coffee and service. my husband ordered a ristretto, being the coffee snob that he is, and not only did they know what it was but they made it splendidly. i am planning to go back to try out their speculoos (aka "cookie butter") which is my sweet tooth's new addiction. thumbs up!

really nice liege waffles. the award winning sundar waffles comes with whippex cream ice cream and a waffle ($11.25, with optionals). thick, denser, sorta bread like, sweetened. really nice with the ice cream and stuff. cokd brew was good as well. somewhat has that subtle fruity(?) note, but not as acidic as cold brews ive tried before

f/b 4.5/5,

in the midst of planning a trip to belgium, fine dining the impetus but undoubtedly planning to sample through several waffles and confections along the way, it seemed all-too-fortuitous that an early start to the day saw me discard much of “first breakfast” as i headed towards fairfax for brunch, a quick stop into shaky alibi finding a few patrons sipping coffee while browsing the internet as a friendly staff of three stood by.

just love their coffee and waffles. their waffle mix is thick and doughy, not wet and batter-like, and the result is a chewy and crispy waffle that is light but filling. fyi the owner sources his own coffee.

good service! it would be even better if the wifi speed is faster.

• savory waffle:
with black forest ham, swiss and egg. the waffle smells so good, buttery! i like waffle as a dessert. so i am quite surprised that i enjoyed this one very much. a sweet and salty combination.

• traditional liege waffle:
with creamy speculoos. very lovely😋😋 crispy outside and little soft in the middle, the way i like it😁.

elvis is in the building!
elvis waffle. all the way. crispy bits of bacon, crunchy peanut butter, fresh sliced banana and just enough honey drizzled on top all combined to create a delicious breakfast.

belgian waffles and ping pong. shaky alibi's menu doesn't consist of much more than belgian waffles and coffee, but they compensate in quality for what they lack in selection. their belgian waffles are among the best in l.a. when i've visited shaky alibi, it's been in the evenings, and the staff claim that the waffles taste better in the evening, after all the sugars throughout the day have caramelized on the waffle iron. i haven't verified that claim, but it sounds plausible. their waffle mix is thick and doughy, not wet and batter-like, and the result is a chewy and crispy waffle that is light but filling. if you are thinking about overindulging, go on a weekend evening, when they set up the ping pong table, and you can work off the excess waffle with a few rounds of table tennis under lighting that could be described as romantic. hardly ideal for ping pong, but i like the concept and have managed to sustain a few rallies anyway.

liege waffles have hit la. a popular street food in liege, the third largest city in belgium, these waffles are flatter, denser and sweeter than their sister, the belgian waffle. they are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and are made with chunks of pearl sugar, which caramelize on the outside of the waffle when baked. not one, but two cafes have opened in la in the past two years which specialize in liege waffles. shaky alibi on beverly boulevard in the fairfax/mid-city area is a polished, european-looking cafe with a ladies-who-lunch feel to it. the menu is limited to coffee, tea and chocolate drinks, liege waffles, yogurt parfaits and ice cream. you can order your liege waffles plain with powdered sugar, with an imported belgian spread such as dark chocolate or speculoos (a belgian speciality made with ground cookies) or with bananas, pecans and strawberries. their menu also offers "savory waffles" with choice of swiss, cheddar or fontina cheese and mesquite smoked turkey o

there's basically one thing on the menu i wonder if the guys who work here think, " and in the morning, i'm making waffles !" couldn't decide between savory or sweet, so we got both and shared!

if you want some yummy waffles and good strong coffee, then try this place. their coffee are $2-$4, pretty reasonable compare to the coffee places in koreatown. also their savory waffles and waffle ice cream sandwich caught my eyes. i must try their savory waffles and waffle sundae next time. that sounds really yummy. menu cafe latte $3.50 traditional liege waffle ($5.5) with pearl sugar, whipped cream ($0.99) and strawberries ($0.99) it was very tasty. i think pearl sugar made it taste much more flavorful. i love it. rating (food): 4 / 5 rating (service): 3 / 5 repeat: yes shaky alibi 7401 beverly blvd los angeles, ca 90036 (323) 938-5282 mon 8 am - 5 pm tue-thu 8 am - 7 pm fri-sat 8 am - 11 pm sun 9 am - 5 pm http://www.shakyalibi.com/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/shaky-alibi-los-angeles please "like". thanks :)

opened by r.j. milano this past summer, shaky alibi is a wafflerie, coffee shop, and tea bar all rolled into one. the waffles, which are made using a family recipe cooked up by the owner’s german-born great grandmother, are made from a yeast dough and are
