drinks that bring out the flavor
coffee
Coffee is the classic match for Dutch stroopwafels. The warmth from the mug softens the caramel and brings out the buttery flavor of the waffle. Light roasts highlight the sweetness, while darker roasts add a bold contrast that pairs well with caramel and vanilla. Chocolate salted caramel is perfect with mocha or any coffee with chocolate notes. It is a simple, comforting pairing that works well for first-time customers.
tea
Tea drinkers will find stroopwafels just as satisfying. Black tea pairs well with caramel and vanilla, while chai brings out the spice notes in chocolate salted caramel. Herbal and fruit teas are a natural match for blueberry, especially blends with berries, lemon, or hibiscus. The heat from the tea softens the waffle and lets the flavor come through in a smooth, delicate way. It is a great choice for people who prefer tea over coffee.
hot chocolate
Hot chocolate makes the pairing feel indulgent and cozy. The rich chocolate brings out the deeper caramel tones in your stroopwafels, and the heat softens the waffle into a smooth, dessert-like texture. Chocolate salted caramel fits this pairing especially well, but vanilla also creates a balanced, comforting combination. This is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a treat that feels special.
turn your stroopwafel into a dessert!
ice cream
Stroopwafels and ice cream make a simple dessert feel special. Crumble one over vanilla, caramel, or coffee ice cream for sweetness and crunch. Chocolate salted caramel pairs well with chocolate or mocha, and blueberry adds a fruity twist to vanilla.
We recommend placing the stroopwafel on top instead of blending it, as the caramel can harden when cold. This keeps the perfect mix of flavor, crunch, and creamy texture.
Brownie Drizzle Pairing
Warm a brownie until it’s soft and melty, then break your stroopwafel into pieces and place them on top. The heat brings out the caramel and adds a crisp, chewy layer that works really well with rich chocolate. It’s an easy upgrade that turns a simple brownie into something that tastes bakery-level.
