Aka the shop for all your stroopwafel needs. I honestly never knew they came in so many flavors. So…read moremany. If nothing else, come for all the samples. And if you're able to attend one of their short demonstrations. It'll happen either in the basement with the full theater kitchen or in the back of the shop at a little counter. Either way, they'll give you some of what is made for a taste, and I never realized just how good freshly made, warm stroopwafel was. It is amazing. O.o We were part of a tour group and the demo came as part of the package. If you're on your own, I think it may cost a few euros. Woltje's Backerij, or Woltje's Bakery, consists of a shop (1st floor), bakery (downstairs), and museum (upstairs). They sell chocolates, ice creams, and waffles, but their main focus are stroopwafels. This is a Dutch signature wafer consisting of thinner brown sugar wafers with a caramel filling that was traditionally laid over the top of a steaming cup of tea, hence the circular shape. The founder/original baker was a woman (who I get the feeling was a pillar of her community) who apparently took the original recipe and made it her own into the Volendamse wafel. Nowadays, Woltje's seems to have stuck with the base recipe but have expanded in terms of variety with four base categories (caramel, speculaas/cookie butter, honey, and chocolate-covered). Seriously, there was an APPLE PIE stroopwafel. And I REALLY love the chocolate covered ones. Those are really satisfying bites. Again, we came as part of a tour group. The majority of the group were led down for a presentation in the basement kitchen. Meanwhile, we were in the group of remaining people (who couldn't fit) and were given a much more intimate, close-up presentation at a little counter set up in the back of the store. I think the basement presentation was more of how the bakery makes or used to make stroopwafels in large batches. While I would have liked the see the kitchen myself, but seeing the actual process closely and also a lot of fun. I'd love to try to make some myself. Overall, this was a really fun stop and I loved tasting everything. Most importantly, I thought the short demonstration was great and the discovery that warm stroopwafels are AMAZING. Additionally, the packs and tins they sell make for great souvenirs. For cookies, they're actually pretty sturdy and could actually take a bit of pressure. All of ours got back to the States without any problems.

STROOOOOOOP WAAAAFFFLLLLEEEEE!!!…read more If you don't know what a stroop waffle is, you should. Its a classic Dutch dessert consisting of two very thin crispy waffles with some sweet warm caramel syrup between them...its pure magic. BUT! You need to get it fresh, don't fall for the cold, dry and inferior prepackaged stroop waffles. For a mere €2, one of Woltje's divine Dutch divas will hand craft you a hot, fresh, caramel crispy stroop waffle..a perfect ratio of carb crunch, sweet caramel, and joy exploding in your mouth. Eat this!

When I was doing my research about Dutch dishes to try while we visiting the Netherlands, I most…read morefrequently saw two things: kibbeling (fried fish) and poffertjes (tiny buckwheat pancakes). This stand is in Volendam, a village in North Holland where you can really see the Netherlands' waterway engineering (the residential canals and reservoir being completely differently levels while side by side) and a stop in our tour. It involved us taking a boat across the Markermeer lake/reservoir to get there and, when you buy a snack from this stand, it's the Markermeer you're looking over in the background. Our tour guides actually arranged for us to have some free time and then meet back up in front of Harbour Restaurant De Lunch, the restaurant across the pathway from Poffertjes. I hadn't realized that poffertjes were made on the spot like this in a way that vaguely reminds of takoyaki stalls. Truthfully, I'm more a waffles person and not as big of a fan of pancakes. But the small size and the hotplate they use give it the very slightest bit of crispiness that I really like. Be aware that poffertjes generally can be served a sweet OR a savory dish, the savory often being specifically with cheese. This cart focuses on making sweet poffertjes with your chosen fruits, chocolate sauces, whipped cream, marshmallows, and candy. Price depends on size of the box, the number of toppings, and reflects that it's in a major tourist footpath/area (it practically overlooks where the tour boats dock), but it's really only a few euros. The pancakes themselves aren't too sweet, and I REALLY liked them with the strawberries. I think they went perfectly together. Meanwhile, my parents really liked it with the blueberries. And in hindsight, the milk chocolate sauce (definitely a sauce, as it doesn't coagulate given time) was a bit too sweet for my taste. Still good, but if I were to get it against, I'd get it with just the fruit. Overall, I think this was fun and I'm glad to check something else off my list of things to try on this list. It's a real treat (kind of reminded me of egg waffles) and an easy thing to grab then either sit down (there are plenty of benches along this road) and enjoy the view or continue sightseeing with. Of course, if you get it with chocolate sauce, get a LOT of napkins. Further research says that (as long as they're not soaked through) they can be microwaved to be eaten hot later, and that supermarkets would also have mixes for poffertjes the same way you have boxed pancake or waffle mix. Another souvenir, if you're interested. And if you're walking along the street/coast here, I'd recommend trying it.

I'm proud to say I've had crepes, (Belgian) waffles, and Stroopwaffles here…read more Not all at once, lol. Each time, my boyfriend and I shared. We did a savory crepe with ham, egg, and cheese. Also mayo but ew. Got that on the side for the boyfriend. Crepe was the right amount of thin and enough to hold everything without falling apart. The flavor of each ingredient was in every bite. We did a Kinder Bueno Belgian Waffle with ice cream, caramel sauce, and whipped topping. Sugar overload but OMWaffles was it good. So decadent and delish. On another visit we shared a traditional Stroopwaffle and it was pure joy. Would I visit again? What do you think? Y-E-S!
