At The Flagship Waffle Experience, visitors can discover one of the Netherlands’ most beloved treats in a fun and hands-on way during the Make Your Own Dutch Stroopwafel workshop. Instead of simply tasting a stroopwafel in a shop, you step behind the counter and learn how this iconic cookie is prepared from scratch. Friendly instructors guide you through the process while sharing stories about the origins of the stroopwafel and its place in Dutch food culture.
During the workshop, you prepare the dough yourself, bake the waffles in traditional irons, and carefully slice them open to add the warm caramel syrup filling. Along the way, you can personalize your stroopwafels with different toppings and flavours, making each one unique. The experience is interactive, relaxed, and suitable for visitors of all ages, which makes it a popular activity for couples, families, and groups looking for something typically Dutch but different from a standard museum visit.
The best part is enjoying your freshly made stroopwafel while it is still warm and soft, exactly how locals love it. The workshop offers a memorable break from sightseeing and gives you a delicious souvenir you actually create yourself. A perfect activity for visitors who want to experience something local, creative, and truly Dutch during their time in Amsterdam.

Discover the Secret of the Perfect Stroopwafel
Did you know that the perfect stroopwafel isn’t just about the caramel? Traditional Dutch bakers often warm the waffle over a cup of coffee or tea before eating, letting the steam soften it and intensify the flavors. Each waffle is a tiny masterpiece, crafted with thin layers of crisp dough sandwiching gooey caramel, a recipe that has been perfected since the late 18th century in Gouda. In this workshop, you get to experience this little Dutch secret firsthand, creating your own stroopwafel exactly how locals love it, warm, sweet, and utterly irresistible.
