That’s right—our beloved stroopwafel has earned its rightful place in the prestigious Oxford English Dictionary (OED)! This recognition is a testament to the global love for this delicious Dutch treat, which has captured hearts (and taste buds) far beyond its humble beginnings in the Netherlands.
The stroopwafel’s journey started in 19th-century Gouda, where it was created as a simple, affordable snack made from leftover dough and syrup. Over time, it has transformed into an iconic delicacy, adored not just in its homeland but across the world.
At Wonderen Stroopwafels, we couldn’t be prouder of this milestone. It’s a moment of celebration for everyone who loves the gooey caramel goodness of a freshly made stroopwafel. We’re honored to keep this tradition alive while adding a modern twist with premium toppings and creative flavors.
For those who want to experience the real magic of a stroopwafel, visit us at our Grand Central Station store in New York City. Here, we serve freshly baked stroopwafels that rival the ones sold in the street markets of the Netherlands. Pair it with what many call the best coffee in NYC, and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable treat.
