Try stroopwaffel in the Netherlands

“We tried a stroopwafel from the Albert Cuyp market where there are a bunch of stands for traditional Dutch snacks. I loved the vibe of this street market. I also could tell that pricing here was much more reasonable than the touristy parts of the city. I really enjoyed the caramel flavor, which had a hint of cinnamon, and the fresh tasting waffle. This stroopwafel was also bigger than the other ones we purchased and came out hotter than the rest. The caramel didn’t quite make it all the way to the edges, though.”

“Before you even walk into this place, the sweet caramel and waffle aroma is wildly inviting. The Hans Egstorf stroopwafel was the perfect ratio of waffle to caramel syrup, and they were very generous with the caramel. In fact, they twist the waffle halves together so the syrup spreads out to the edges and you get caramel in every bite, which is very important to me.”

“It is crisp on the outside while gooey and sticky as sin in the inside…and when you bite into it you are transported to sugar heaven. Yes, it’s sugar inside and out with no redeeming value whatsoever but oh soooo worth it:-)! Paired with black coffee, it became my perfect duo to energize me in all my walks around Amsterdam. I panicked when my first stash ran out but I found out that it is available in any supermarket all over Holland which was very reassuring:-)”
