Cold days in Amsterdam call for delicious syrupy stroopwafels and a warming cup of rich hot chocolate. And there’s nowhere that delivers this combo quite like Van Wonderen Stroopwafel. Colin van Wonderen was inspired to open the shop by his grandfather who would take him to eat fresh, warm stroopwafels at the market. And that is where he fell in love with this delicious Dutch staple. Their incredible stroopwafels come with a huge range of tempting toppings, making this place a veritable stroopwafel heaven.
These stroopwafels are anything but ordinary.
Stroopwafels have to be one of the most popular Dutch exports. On average, each Dutch person eats around 20 a year! You can buy them worldwide, but they are of course best eaten in the Netherlands. Two warm waffles are sandwiched together by caramel to make these beauties. And if that doesn’t have you salivating, then I don’t know what will.
What makes the stroopwafels at Van Wonderen so special is not only the perfectly crafted recipe but the fact that there are so many different varieties on offer. From chocolate and marshmallow-topped delights to mouthwatering kletskop-covered wafels, there’s something for everyone with a sweet tooth.
What about those delicious toppings?
Caramel fudge, marshmallow, crunchy hazelnut, strawberry and chocolate, smarties, and many more. Whether you pair yours with a coffee or a nice hot chocolate, it’s the perfect treat for colder days. The shop is open daily from 8h30 am until 10 pm and in the window you’ll see the cutest little hot air balloons holding aloft some delicious wafels, creating the cutest atmosphere in this lovely shop.
