WEET AS WAFFLES OFFICIALLY OPENED to the
public at Stemma Brewing Company in June of 2021. For the owners, Nate Brown and Graham Berkwitt, the grand opening was the culmination of a vision several years in the making. It all started with an idea that came to Brown while on a year long vagabond throughout the South Pacific in 2015. On his return, he pitched the idea to Berkwitt and they began taking the steps to create Sweet As Waffles. Three years later, in 2018, they drove down to Oregon to purchase the trailer that would eventually become its storefront. Now, every Thursday through Sunday you can stop by Stemma Brewing Company to see Brown and Berkwitt dishing up tasty treats to the Bellingham community. “We spent so long planning and building this thing, where we talked about what we were going to do and how we want things to come out and look like and now it’s like, ‘Alright, we’re actually doing it’,” Brown said. They offer a wide variety of both sweet and savory waffles, all from house-made ingredients and jam-packed with unique topping combinations. They like to get “weird” with the recipes, all of which are crafted from their own creativity.
