About

Oyya is a family‑run ice‑cream and waffle shop in Bruges that blends traditional Belgian craftsmanship with modern sustainability practices. Established in 2014, the shop began in a small storefront on Noordzandstraat before expanding to a second branch in Gent and later an ice‑cream truck that operates at festivals and private events. Each day, the team hand‑crafts every pint of ice cream using pasteurised milk, cream, sugar, and an eclectic mix of flavourings such as Madagascar vanilla and Italian hazelnuts. The waffles are freshly baked each morning from premium wheat flour, natural vanilla, and plant‑based butter, producing a light interior with a crisp crust. Beyond flavour, Oyya distinguishes itself through rigorous sustainability. All energy comes from biogas, wind, and solar, while packaging is fully biodegradable. The menu includes a robust vegan selection—100 % fruit‑based sorbets that are free from additives—making it welcoming for plant‑based diners. The shop’s friendly staff, approachable ambiance, and commitment to quality have earned it a strong following among locals and tourists alike. Whether you’re sampling a classic vanilla swirled with chocolate drizzle or a daring gorgonzola‑fig sorbet, Oyya offers a taste of authentic Belgian ice cream that feels both comforting and adventurous.
