Authentic family recipe
Our recipe goes back to nineteenth-century Gouda. A family recipe passed down, tasted and preserved. No modern twist. Only what has stood the test of time.
Traditionally baked
We craft every waffle in the traditional way, from dough to syrup. Our bakers feel it, smell it and know exactly when it is right. Real craftsmanship is something you taste immediately.

Since 1864
Our origins lie deep in the heart of Gouda, where stroopwafels are not a trend but a tradition. Since 1864 that has been our promise: fresh, authentic and irresistible.

Let's go Dutch
From food truck to specialty shop, from gift store to coffee cart: Goudstroop travels along, tucked into suitcases and displayed on shelves. In the Netherlands and far beyond. Wherever you are, chances are Goudstroop is closer than you think.
How we bake our waffles
From kneading the dough to adding the syrup, every step is filled with craftsmanship. This is how we make sure each waffle is golden brown, soft on the inside and irresistible, just the way it should be.
1.
Preparing the dough
Flour, butter, sugar, yeast and spices are mixed into a smooth dough. The exact blend is a secret, but it forms the foundation of our characteristic flavour and texture.
2.
Baking the waffles
Balls of dough are baked manually in a cast-iron waffle iron. This is done by feel and experience, just long enough to create a golden brown exterior and a soft interior.
3.
Cutting the waffle open
Directly after baking, the warm waffle is sliced horizontally. This requires speed and precision, because the waffle is still soft and delicate at that moment.
4.
Adding the syrup
The syrup, slowly cooked down and flavoured with a secret blend of spices, is generously spread onto the bottom half. The top is placed back and gently pressed. Ready to be enjoyed fresh or packaged.
So good that we turned it into a liqueur
Sometimes something is so delicious you simply cannot stay away from it. Our syrup was so full, smooth and intense in flavour that we gave it a second life as a liqueur. Soft, spiced and surprisingly refined: everything Goudstroop is, but in liquid form. Perfect for sipping, pouring or gifting.
