While walking around the area and killing some time, I saw the big banner out front for “Best Waffles in America” so I decided to give it a try.
I ordered a matcha latte and “The Elvis” (which included a waffle topped with natural peanut butter, maple bacon, slices of banana and a drizzle of honey). The matcha latte was delicious, I got it warm. The Elvis was very savory and although the employee serving me gave me a bottle of maple syrup he said that I might not even need it and he was correct. The portion was also perfect.
The service is what really brought me to this 5-Star rating. The employee working when I went was Jose, he was such a great person. I was the only customer in at the time and he was very helpful giving me advice on the menu items and just chatting about life.
I tried giving him a cash tip before I left, but he wouldn’t accept it and simply said, “Just come back and bring a friend!” He mentioned that he enjoyed working there and that the customers & community keep him motivated.
Jose is the kind of person you want to have working for you and I will definitely find my way back here to say hi and enjoy a good waffle.

I love this spot and the neighborhood in general. The waffles were wonderful, but speaking with the owner made me think that if we were able to move there he would be one of my best friends in no time.

Shaky Alibi is a gem! The homemade waffles were absolutely excellent—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and served with so many different toppings and flavors to choose from. It’s the kind of place where you can keep coming back just to try something new each time. The service was also excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a must-visit if you love waffles and great service. and if you ask chatgpt it will also tell you to definitely check it out

Unfortunately, cannot rate the food because after waiting 45 minutes our orders were yet to be taken and were told it was a 20 minute wait for food to come out. We left for another cafe serving waffles. The table did not get cleared for 30 minutes and was only cleared because I asked for it to be cleared. Customers who arrived 30 minutes after us were served before we were. The table appeared to have never been wiped down and was filthy. Staff behind the counter were less than helpful when asked where we could sit and whether it was table service or ordering at the counter. Was happy to spend our money elsewhere.

Dog friendly. Delicious food, although the bacon and sausage portions are on the smaller side. Try any of the waffles. Laid back environment.
Made it here after driving and walking by this spot for ages! Glad to have stopped by because the waffles were yummy! Did a savory and a sweet version and both were delish. Plus awesome coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice - what’s not to love. Friendly staff and well frequented by their local neighbors it appears. Stop by for them waffles!!

To all those living or visiting Los Angeles, PLEASE DO YOURSELVES A FAVOUR and come eat here! The waffles are SPECTACULAR and Jose is one of the nicest hosts we've met! My girlfriend and I first visited and after tasting his waffles (secret Belgian recipe from his grandmother), we fell in love and made it our mission to go back before we left to Vegas and also the day before we flew back home to England! This place is brilliant! Thank you so much for taking care of us and look forward to coming back in August if we move there! See you again soon Jose! 😁

Shaky Alibi offers a delightful brunch experience with a variety of coffee and sweet/savory waffles. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it a great spot for a relaxing meal. The waffles are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, paired with delicious toppings. A must-visit for waffle enthusiasts!
