Such a wonderful and clean shop with lots of beautiful, delicious items (mostly vegetarian, as far as I know), and such a cute, chic aesthetic. Alongside beverages, there are chocolate bars, macarons (my favorite), cupcakes, stroopwafel (of course), and even one or two savory items usually available :) The staff here are wonderful too - Estefany is an amazing professional who is consistently reliable and personable to customers, and its so lovely to see and interact with her, while picking up a yummy, high quality treat!

Wonderen Stroopwafels is an absolute feast for the eyes before you even order. They have a massive selection of treats to choose from, ranging from their signature stroopwafels and macarons to cupcakes, pastries and a full drink menu. I tried a box of macarons, an iced coffee and a sprinkle cupcake. While everything was good, it was definitely overpriced for what you actually get. The flavors were fine, but nothing was blow your mind delicious. For the price tag, you expect high end bakery quality, could really use some extra love. it's worth a quick stop, just set your expectations accordingly when the bill comes haha. read more

Amazing pastries! Great service too. Highly recommend, try the pistachio croissant. Very convenient to my subway line too which is a plus.

I had never seen a place specializing in stroopwafels before so I was so surprised when I walked by while checking out Grand Central terminal! My boyfriend and I ordered one to share; we got a small freshly baked stroopwafel with freeze-dried strawberries. The stroopwafel display was so beautiful and the packaging is very cute as well, I was a big fan! The stroopwafel itself was a bit too sweet for my liking, but that's to be expected. My boyfriend really liked it! I definitely recommend it for anyone with a sweet tooth looking to try something new. It is quite pricey though for a single stroopwafel. They also sell other things like drinks and pastries if you're looking to try something else. read more

First time touring Grand Central Station in earnest after 20+ years, and the lower level dining area is amazing. Stopped at Wonderen because the Apple Feuillette caught my eye and had to try it. Simply delicious - these are locally baked by partner bakery Pan d'oro. Had to come back and get another pastry for later along with some much needed Smart Water during hot humid weather. Thank you Clark! read more

I had the Reese's stroopwafel at Bryant Park's Winter Market and was very pleased with my choice! I love sweets and anything with peanut butter and chocolate so naturally it was a perfect match. It was sweet, fresh and a little messy but that's okay. I would buy another favor if I had the opportunity again. read more

Dining Concourse at Grand Central Terminal 89 E. 42nd St. New York, NY 10017 Wonderen Stroopwafels Stroopwafel To-Go Box This package deal included three stroopwafels of your choice. On a positive note, the Dutch cookies were neatly packed in a fancy looking box and there was a wide variety of toppings that enhanced the flavor. After the purchase, I realize I've been had. Minus the toppings, these looked and tasted identical to the packaged items I could have easily purchased from any retail store. read more

I really enjoyed these stroopwafels, so glad they're in nyc now. These were very addicting when I was visiting Amsterdam. The staff were super friendly, service was quick, and the stroopwafels were tasty. My personal favorites were the reese's pieces and mint chocolate toppings. They also have their limited-edition Halloween stroopwafels which is a ghost and pumpkin. I chose the ghost stroopwafel and it was freshly made. It's the perfect Halloween treat. The packaging is also cute. This place is definitely a must visit for these sweet and delicious Dutch stroopwafels. read more

What nice staff I always feels very happy when I pass by this store with its uplifting decor

I find them very pricey. If you are getting the fresh one, menu says $8.50 for a small one. The location in Grand Central said they do not have the fresh one... and they are selling per box of 3 or 6. We got choco mint, choco coconut and lotus biscoff. They were all good. I was expecting them to be a little crisp on the outside but they were on the softer side. Maybe bec they were not as fresh as when it first comes out from the oven. If the price were more reasonable, I would have given them 5 stars. read more

Wonderden Stroopwafels - Grand Central Station What a disappointment. We waited 7 minutes just to order because the cashier was busy making an iced coffee. Then, nearly 40 minutes for our stroopwafel ice cream sandwiches. We ordered three: * One came out rock hard * One was soggy * One was undercooked and bitter At $14.50 each, I expected at least decent quality. Instead, the "ice cream" came straight out of a Costco tub--nothing house-made. It melted instantly, creating a messy, soupy disaster before we could even start eating. The taste was awful--so bad no one could finish theirs, and it left us feeling queasy. They might have been featured on TikTok, but I have no idea why. This place feels like a pure tourist trap: overpriced, poor quality, and not worth the time or money. read more

Mila is the best, she helped us pick out a bunch of waffles to take to a friends. Cannot recommend her enough, whatever you're paying her, she deserves a huge raise. read more

A remarkable simulation of authentic stroopwafel in the city! Conveniently located in Grand Central location, you can choose between premade stroopwafel or freshly made with toppings for an additional charge. Servers could not have been more patient and I ended up going for a small biscoff laden stroopwafel. It was treacly sweet, crisp, with biscoffs crumbs throughout. Just needed a nice cup of tea to round it out. If I had any complaints, the wafel itself was not as fresh as the ones in Amsterdam. But, if you don't wanna pay $2000 in roundtrip fare, give Wonderen a try! read more

Amazing. Decided to grab a few stroopwafels and a few macarons and they were amazing. It's worth stopping by!

Good service, clean, quick, oat chai taste good nice and warm. The area was colorful and inviting. I had to use restraint because there's a few things I want to try in the display. I would literally add another workout just to try some of these treats. You really can't pick only one. That's why I got a drink so next time i'll buy a few things to share with family and friends. Location is right off the escalator near track 37 located on bottom level of food court area read more

Grabbed some at a holiday market, and holy wow these were delicious! Never had a stroopwafel before and I don't know why I haven't had this in my life sooner. The Oreo, biscoff, and m&m ones were so delicious, chewy, flavorful, and absolutely amazing! A great treat! read more

Finally got a chance to try this sweet treat when I needed a snack. I was debating on the topping... marshmallow or m&m since I know the cookie with caramel would be sweet. The employee was friendly and suggested I go with the marshmallow to balance out the sweetness. Considering the cookie and the way the employee spread the caramel into a thin layer then layered the chocolate afterwards and added the marshmallows, it was a perfect combination. It's a cute place to get a treat on your way home. There is coffee to go with your treat. Enjoy! read more

Wonderen finally opened its first permanent store in NYC! If you can't travel to Amsterdam at the moment, now you can simply make a ride to Grand Central to try this classic Dutch syrup waffles. I tried their stroopwafels in Bryant Park Winter Village and it was memorable. Every stroopwafel is served warm straight from the waffle iron -- they press a dough ball into a flat cookie and cut it into two thin pieces. Then they glue the disc wafels together with caramel fillings. It is half-covered with syrup of your choice, either chocolate or caramel. You can customize your stroopwafels with a variety of crunchy toppings, including smarties, coconut flakes, caramel pearls, and more! The stroopwafels are crispy on the outside and gooey in the center. They are smaller than the ones I had in Winter Village but the size is perfect for one sitting. They are indeed on a sweeter side, but a guilty pleasure to indulge in. They offer samples so you can try before making the purchase! read more

Wonderen Stroopwafels - Crunchy Mixed Chocolate, Crunchy Orange - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

Staff here is always friendly and quick. The coffee takes slightly longer to make, but it's fresh! There are some premade stroopwafels to select from and lots of custom options for you to make your own. This is only a counter which makes for quick ordering and turnaround. I love that it looks like a Wes Anderson set. The bold color choices and curved cutouts with the mat colors really help to highlight the products. For your birthday that actually send you a coupon for 1 free large Stroopwafel! This time I stopped in for the "Dubai chocolate". While this was tasty between the crunchy center with pistachio cream, I don't think I'd pay $15 for this again. The Stroopwafel is really what you should come here for. The warm waffle aroma with pressed caramel draws you in. I can't wait to return for my next Stroopwafel! read more

Short review but perfectly okay but pricey stoopwafel here. I mean it's Grand Central Terminal so everything is overpriced but I'm curious what the prices would be if it was outside of here (presumably $1 or $2 less for some things but who knows.) Taste was fine. I got the toasted coconut which was nice and it was good and warm but it didn't melt like the best stroopwafels I've had. 3 is built for as spot like this and it's nice to have a different type of snack in Grand Central. read more

Staff was friendly, stroopwaffels were delicious , and it had a wonderful vibe to it!! Shout out to Esmirna and Brayan!!

Overhyped! We just stopped by for coffee at the GCS and as I checked in, there's a yelp offer if you buy a stroopwaffel and coffee. Ladies were nice but it's definitely a tiktok hype thing. But didn't taste as good as those served in Europe or even the Trader Joe's mini ones lol. Just not sweet nor could you taste the syrup filling. Prob not worth the $9 for it and coffee was okay. read more

Super friendly and informative staff. Nice open counter and seating area. But not only did I find the stoopwafels expensive, 3 for $9 for just the smaller versions, but I was also underwhelmed by the favors.

So, this place is very very interesting... on one hand it's definitely an experience you need to try when you get a a chance. I love that you can customize the fresh stroopwafels to however you like. I ended up getting mine with milk chocolate and orange crunch. However, the fresh ones are very soft and messy. The taste is incredible, but make sure you have a few napkins because you are guaranteed to make a mess! IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

Cute, fairly new place inside the food area within Grand Central Station! Very simple concept - order a size, add chocolate, add optional toppings and there you go! I've only had prepackaged stroopwafels, so I had little expectations. There were very tasty! The wafer tasted like Biscoff cookies, the caramel in the middle was tasty and sweet, the chocolate was a touch bitter, and the coconut was great for added texture. My one downfall: these bad boys are expensive! Ended up paying $6ish for a small with one added topping. Very tasty! read more

Van Wonderen Stroopwafels are well-known in the Netherlands, so it's quite exciting to see an outpost across the Atlantic here. It is a little poetic, if you think about it; before New York City, there was New Amsterdam. This review is specifically for the Bryant Park location, which is a temporary stall for the winter holiday season. All their stroopwafels are made fresh to order and the surrounding air smells absolutely wonderful-- molasses and cinnamon wafting gently around the carousel. You choose which size of stroopwafel you'd like and they dip half of it in chocolate before sprinkling on the topping of your choosing. I was unable to dry their ruby rose strawberry chocolate shavings on my most recent visit, so I had the orange chocolate pearls instead, which gave the dessert a light citrusy touch. I'm convinced a fresh stroopwafel, all warm and gooey from the caramel and chocolate, will cure almost any known ailment. read more

I love Stroopwafels so was excited to find out about this place. Fresh stroopwafels yes please! I got a fresh waffles with orange toppings it was so good. My only thing is because the location in grand central they should have either more lids or better circulation flow as there was a lot of flies on the toppings read more

I ordered a pleasant looking red velvet pastry for $11,99 (duty free). It was nicely packaged and I looked forward to eating it however when I took a bite it was extremely dry and tasted awful. The service also wasn't great. The server wasn't friendly at all. Conclusion: food not tasty and service not good! read more

i went here on my trip to NYC. the stroop waffles were very good and so were the macarons. the people were very nice.

This review is for macarons from their Grand Central locations. The macarons were not fresh. Their color had migrated due to being on the shelves for so long, which we did not see until we opened the box, and the outer shell would easily separate from the sticky inside when being picked up, and become crumbly. The lady behind the counter also used tongs which punctured the outer shell of the macarons. The box also did not have an insert so our 6 macarons just swam around in there. For $3.50pp ($21 for 6), IT WAS A RIPOFF - HARD PASS! read more
