    stroopwafels
    Shiny C.

    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.

    A great spot to pick up stroopwafels with multiple toppings for your cravings or gifts for friends. The sweets are cute and super good with cute packaging!

    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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot in grand central terminal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Grabbed a rose latte and the whole counter smelled like fresh stroopwafel. The staff was very nice and worked fast and knew all the sales and deals. Fresh coffee.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good service, clean, quick, oat chai taste good nice and warm[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The area was colorful and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

    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!

    Wes Anderson style
    Amanda J.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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!

    We were looking for a place not to far from our hotel to have a couple drinks before we met up…read morefriends and we found this place. The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

    My objective was to find a bar for happy hour in Midtown East. In my rarely treading over to the…read moreeast side these days and wanting to avoid Grand Central I searched a little through google maps what was nearby Murray Bro Hill/Kips Bay area and this spot popped up and I remembered wanting to check out their brunch but never did. It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

    Sweet Chick in the Lower East Side was one of our favorite unexpected discoveries of the trip…read more Located right across from our hotel it turned out to be a total hidden gem. The vibe inside is so cool, chill hip hop music playing throughout and I genuinely added about five songs to my music library before we even finished eating. That kind of atmosphere is hard to find. The food was incredible. I ordered the buffalo chicken tenders with waffles and everything about it was perfect. The tenders were crispy and glazed beautifully in buffalo sauce. The waffle was not your average waffle, it had this wheat cinnamon style to it that made it stand out, soft, fluffy and absolutely delicious. It came with butter and what I believe was an herb butter as well and whatever it was it was incredible. My fiancé ordered eggs Andy style, scrambled with bacon and toast, and the real standout on his plate were the potatoes. Crushed style, perfectly seasoned with what tasted like brown sugar and paprika. We are still talking about those potatoes. Service was amazing and the whole experience just felt effortless and fun. If you are in the Lower East Side and looking for an incredible brunch spot with amazing food and even better vibes, Sweet Chick is the one. Do not sleep on this place.

    This one honestly hurt my heart…read more.. Y'all... this review hurts my heart to write because I am a Sweet Chick fan. Not a "I tried it once" fan. A real fan. I've been going to Sweet Chick since there was only one location in Brooklyn. I was literally traveling from Jersey to Brooklyn just for the food, the drinks, and the experience, and I never minded doing it because it was always worth it. So when they opened the Ludlow Street location, I was excited because now I didn't have to make the trip to Brooklyn every time I wanted my chicken and waffles. Back then, Sweet Chick was an experience. They had the big specials board with rotating waffles, desserts, and seasonal items. Their chicken and waffles never missed. I honestly can't remember ever leaving disappointed. So this review is really hard for me. Back on June 26th, after work, my mom and I decided to grab dinner. I work in the LES, and she suggested Sweet Chick. I did tell her my brother Robert had gone recently and said it had changed a lot, but we figured we'd see for ourselves. We got there around 9-ish. The first thing we noticed... It was HOT. Not warm. Hot. Like, "why does it feel like a sauna in here?" hot. We've had enough hot weather this summer, so walking into a restaurant with little to no air conditioning was honestly uncomfortable. We actually debated leaving before we even ordered, but decided to stick it out. Unfortunately... it never got better. The service also wasn't what I remembered. I'm really big on customer service, and Sweet Chick has always had amazing service whenever I've gone. This time it just felt different. The attentiveness wasn't there, and the overall vibe just felt... off. Even the menu has changed. My mom used to love their kale salad, but now it's made differently with things like dates, and she wasn't interested in it anymore. For drinks, my mom ordered an espresso martini, and unfortunately she really didn't enjoy it. It was pretty bitter, and we couldn't quite figure out what was off about it. If I'm ordering an espresso martini, I have certain expectations, and this one just didn't hit for her. I ordered the Queen of New York, and I actually really enjoyed my drink. No complaints there. Now... the food. I ordered the Maple Chipotle Chicken & Sweet Potato Waffle. And this is where my heart really broke. Years ago, when they first introduced the sweet potato waffle as a special, I remember it actually tasting like sweet potato. This one... Honestly just tasted like a regular waffle. I kept looking for that sweet potato flavor, and it just wasn't there. The chicken itself was crispy and cooked well, but the maple chipotle sauce wasn't evenly coated. Some bites were really good, while other pieces were dry because they barely had any sauce on them. Another thing longtime Sweet Chick fans might notice is the butter service. I remember getting three or four different flavored butters, each in their own little container. This time we got two flavors together in one cup. It's a small thing, but it was one of those details that always made Sweet Chick feel special. My mom ordered the Carolina BBQ Chicken with the Grilled Corn Waffle. I'll be fair--her waffle absolutely tasted like a corn waffle. I tried it, and it was really good. She enjoyed her meal more than I did, although she also had a few pieces of chicken that weren't evenly coated with sauce and were a little dry. Overall, she thought it was okay. And I think that's really the word for this visit. Okay. Not terrible. But not the Sweet Chick we remembered. Maybe that's why this visit hit me so hard. When you've loved a place for years, you naturally compare it to what you know it can be. I genuinely hope this was just an off night because I have so many great memories here, and I'd honestly love to come back one day and have the Sweet Chick experience that made me fall in love with it in the first place. Because this restaurant has meant a lot to me over the years, and I'm rooting for it. I really am.

Village eateries helmed by power-chef duo Jody Williams and Rita Sodi; four are within a block of each other. I passed the other three (Bar Pisellino, Via Carota, I Sodi) on my way and all had lines out the door. Carota and Sodi are Italian, Buvette is French. There are 2 other Buvettes in Asia and one coming soon in London. Buvette does not do reservations. Buvette is a charming but tiny/cramped space, made more tiny within the last year by NYC's removal of pandemic-era street patios which greatly helped dining capacity. Buvette may sometimes have a few front sidewalk tables, and there's a tiny outdoor patio in the back. The tables and dishware are also tiny. There's a kitchen in the back, but some food is also prepared below the bar in front, where there seem to be some ovens. The food seems reliably consistent here. The menu is short but there are daily specials. I ordered a non-alcoholic ginger soda, crab tartine (a special), lobster a l'Americaine (lobster pot pie) and frites. The soda is always on the menu and is refreshing, with a nice snap of ginger. The crab tartine was fab, a fresh crab salad with avocado atop toast. The lobster pot pie was made in the under-bar oven, a small serving of lobster and veggies with a golden puff pastry topper. Delish. The frites were nicely crisp, served with an aioli. Service was okay, but my hot food took about 45 minutes to come out, apparently because my ticket was lost. Overall a pleasant meal, my first during this visit.
