Starting next week, dessert lovers will have a trendy new spot in Tremont at which to score all matter of sweet and creamy treats. Battr (910 Literary Rd., 216-202-6157), opening in the long-vacant building next to the former Lola/Lolita space, specializes in Belgian waffles, Hong Kong-style bubble waffles and French crepes. Those products are then filled, glazed and topped in a variety of ways.
“We’re going to do some things that people, I don’t think, are going to expect from a waffle and gelato shop,” says Jeff Heisler.
The crepes and bubble waffles are rolled into cones and filled with a choice of gelatos, capped with fruit and/or candy toppings and gilded with sauces. The Belgian waffles are dusted in pearl sugar and given their own unique spin.
“We’re treating them a little like donuts by glazing them with a variety of different things like mango tajine, French lemon lavender glaze, dark Belgian chocolate or white chocolate macha,” adds Heisler.
The gelato comes from the Michigan-based Villa Dolce. There are a dozen flavors available, six of which will stick around while the other six will rotate seasonally.
The vibe of the 750-square-foot storefront is modern industrial, with exposed brick walls, snaking conduit and blacked-out ceilings. There’s a second floor dining room for enjoying one’s desserts onsite.
