Make authentic Stroopwafels at home
Stroopwafels are known worldwide as a delicious treat from Amsterdam. Although there are many variations of stroopwafels available nowadays, the authentic recipe from our bakery, the oldest bakery in Amsterdam since 1898, is definitely worth trying. We have adapted this recipe to be easily made at home!
An icon from the bakery, the Croissant!
In our bakery, the oldest active bakery in Amsterdam, we pay homage to the craft of baking. We do this of course with icons from the world of fresh bread and pastries. From Stroopwafels to an authentic baguette and from sourdough bread to a crispy fresh... croissant!
The architect of the oldest bakery in Amsterdam, Gerrit van Arkel
Before you enter our bakery, Hans Egstorf, you will undoubtedly look up once. The building, where fresh bread and pastries have been rolling out since 1898, was designed by architect Gerrit van Arkel. His characteristic style, often described as busy, richly decorated, and eclectic, has been defining for the bakery.
