What Stroopwafels.com.us Actually Sells
This is the official US webshop for Daelmans, a Dutch bakery that's been making stroopwafels since 1904 — thin waffle cookies with a layer of caramel syrup sandwiched in the middle. The site sells individually wrapped stroopwafels, bulk tins and boxes, and a handful of flavor variations, aimed at people in the US who either grew up with them, discovered them on a trip to the Netherlands, or just fell down a snack-food rabbit hole online like I did.
Finding a Stroopwafels Discount Code for a Bigger Order
Codes here tend to show up around holiday periods or as a percentage off orders over a certain size, which makes sense for a snack food site where people are more likely to order in bulk for gifting than buy a single package. I've also seen free shipping thresholds tied to order value, which matters more than it sounds — shipping a box of cookies can eat into the savings fast if you're only ordering a small amount.
My coworker ordered a small single box assuming a "free shipping" banner applied automatically, and was surprised to see a shipping charge added at checkout — turned out free shipping kicked in above a spending threshold she hadn't hit. Worth checking the actual dollar amount required before assuming a shipping perk applies to your order.
Here's what it actually looks like once a working code is applied and the discount shows up in the order total below.
How Do You Actually Eat a Stroopwafel?
The traditional method is placing the stroopwafel on top of a hot mug of coffee or tea for a minute or two, letting the steam soften the caramel layer inside without melting the whole thing into a mess. It gets warm, slightly gooey, and noticeably better than eating it cold straight from the package — which is still fine, just a different experience.
What I Learned the Hard Way
- Skip the microwave — it heats unevenly and can turn the caramel into a sticky puddle instead of softening it gently
- Resting it on a mug for one to two minutes is usually enough — longer isn't necessarily better
- They're fine eaten straight from the package too, just firmer and less gooey than the warmed version
- A slightly warm mug still works if your coffee isn't piping hot — it doesn't need to be scalding
Shelf Life and Storage
Individually wrapped stroopwafels have a decent shelf life stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place — no refrigeration needed, which surprised me the first time since the caramel filling made me assume otherwise. Once opened, they're best eaten within a reasonable window for freshness, though they don't spoil quickly the way fresh baked goods would.
Are Daelmans Stroopwafels the Same as Ones From the Netherlands?
Yes — Daelmans is an actual Dutch bakery, not a US company making an imitation product. The stroopwafels sold on this US site are the same recipe and production as what you'd find at their bakery in the Netherlands, just shipped to a US-based warehouse for domestic delivery rather than importing each order individually from overseas.
Available Flavors and Bulk/Gifting Options
Beyond the classic caramel, there are variations including chocolate-dipped and other flavor twists depending on what's currently available. For gifting or office orders, bulk tins and boxes are the more practical option — my sister ordered a bulk box for a work potluck and it worked out noticeably cheaper per cookie than buying several smaller packages separately.
She also mentioned the tins held up well being passed around an office all afternoon without the cookies getting crushed or sticking together, which apparently isn't a given with every stroopwafel brand — the sturdier packaging made a difference compared to a cheaper option she'd tried the year before that arrived half-broken.
A Quick Note on the Name Itself
If you're wondering about the spelling, "stroopwafel" translates roughly to "syrup waffle" in Dutch, which is a pretty literal description of what it actually is. I mention this mostly because I mangled the pronunciation badly the first few times I tried to say it out loud to my Dutch neighbor, and she seemed to appreciate that I at least knew what the word meant, even if I couldn't say it right.
Bulk and Corporate Gifting — What to Know Before You Order
For anyone ordering for an office or an event rather than personal snacking, it's worth ordering a small package first if you haven't tried the brand before, just to confirm everyone's actually going to like the flavor and texture before committing to a large bulk order. A cousin of mine skipped that step for a wedding favor order and only found out after the fact that a few guests weren't fans of the caramel filling — not a huge deal in the end, but a five-dollar test order would've been cheap insurance against ordering the wrong thing in bulk.
Mistakes I Made So You Don't Have To
- I microwaved my first one and ended up with a melted mess instead of a warm cookie
- I assumed free shipping applied automatically and got charged because I hadn't hit the order minimum
- I stored an opened package somewhere warm and they went slightly soft faster than expected
- I ordered individual packages for a group instead of checking if a bulk box was cheaper per unit
People Also Ask
How do you eat a stroopwafel?
Traditionally, you rest it on top of a hot mug of coffee or tea for a minute or two so the steam softens the caramel filling, then eat it warm. It's also perfectly fine eaten cold straight from the package — just firmer and less gooey than the warmed version.
How long do stroopwafels last?
Unopened and stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place, they have a fairly long shelf life. Once opened, they're best eaten within a reasonable window for freshness, though they don't spoil quickly compared to fresh baked goods.
Are these the same as stroopwafels from the Netherlands?
Yes — this site sells Daelmans stroopwafels, an actual Dutch bakery brand established in 1904, shipped to a US warehouse for domestic orders rather than a locally made imitation product.
Do stroopwafels need to be refrigerated?
No, they're shelf-stable and should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place rather than refrigerated. Refrigeration isn't necessary and can actually affect the texture of the caramel filling.
Are stroopwafels gluten-free?
Standard stroopwafels are made with wheat flour and are not gluten-free. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, check the product listing carefully, as availability of a gluten-free version can vary and isn't guaranteed across the full product range.
