Gouda stroopwafels, sent in a painted tin

We press them on two irons at Markt 31 every morning and fill them with warm syrup before they cool. Classic, honey, chocolate-dipped and minis, posted across Europe.

Try this at home

Warm it on your cup

Lay a stroopwafel over a hot drink and wait one minute. The steam softens the waffle and the syrup starts to run. Pick your cup and we will tell you which one to use.
