    Original Stroopwafel
    Nicolas L.

    On a recent trip to Amsterdam my wife and I tried the Original Stroopwafel at Rudi's Original Stroopwafels. The snack was freshly made as you see the waffles pressed in front of you. The thin warm waffles were filled with a gooey caramel and had a nice cinnamon flavor. I can understand why this is a go to place in the city.

    Wow wow wow!! This stroopwafel was absolutely delicious! I'd heard great things about this place and had to try it out at Albert Cuyp Market. There are numerous stroopwafel stands, but this one had a massive line. It took about 10-15 minutes to get to the front. I ordered an original stroopwafel (3 euros) as well as a pack to take home (3.99 euros). You can watch them making it fresh right in front in you. It's incredibly warm and delicious! Highly recommend this spot for your stroopwafel cravings

    If you find yourself wandering through the Albert Cuyp Markt on a nice day, you cannot miss Rudi's Original Stroopwafels. While there is almost always a line, don't let that discourage you as it moves incredibly fast. At just 3 euros for an original or 4 euros for one with a decadent chocolate drizzle, it feels like an absolute steal for the quality you receive. Each stroopwafel is made fresh to order and served warm, creating a sensory experience that is far superior to anything you'd buy in a standard grocery store. The texture is where Rudi's truly shines, hitting that perfect balance of being sweet but not overly sugary. It is soft and chewy in the center with a very light, satisfying crunch on the outside. It is exactly the kind of treat that goes perfectly with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Beyond the fresh snacks, they also offer pre-packaged stroopwafels in beautiful decorative tins, which are ideal for bringing back home as high-quality souvenirs for friends and family. The staff at the stand are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience feel even more special. It's more than just a quick snack; it's a highlight of the market visit. I truly loved every part of it and would recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

    My husband did a search for the best Stroopwafels and Rudis came up- so we set out for an adventure. It's about a 30 minute walk from where we are staying, but it is definitely worth it. It's on a street that is basically a market,- open every day. You can shop for coats, hats, mittens, scarves, probably anything you would need, get pretty much any kind of food that you are craving, and end up with the most delicious Stroopwafel.. This is the second time we have come here! We make a point to venture out to Rudi's when we are in Amsterdam- so tasty!! (my husband, and I think these are better than the ones you see all over the city and probably a little cheaper.) And, on top of all the goodness, the people who work there are very nice and friendly. They are funny, and the conversation is really enjoyable, and make you feel very welcome!!

    Stroopwafel!

    One of the best stroopwafels I've had during my trip in Amsterdam. This one was not too sweet and also very affordable compared to some other spots in Amsterdam. Be sure to check their hours online because they are closed a few days out of the week!! I made the mistake of visiting on a Thursday and they were closed and came back around the next day and fortunately they were opened. It's a stall within the Albert Cuyp Markt so you can also check out other stalls while you're there. They have a line but it goes quick. They also have pre-packaged stroopwafels in case you'd like to bring some back as souvenirs. Staff are super kind and if you order one, they'll make you one in the spot! Try a fresh one - you won't regret it! :)

    It was a long-awaited visit to the original stroopwafel shop! I've tried so many versions over the years--even the ones from Costco--and have always been a fan. I even tried the fresh ones from Hans Egstorf once, but honestly didn't like them (and they charge twice the price of Rudy's!). We arrived "early," around 10:50 a.m., before they officially opened, and there were already a few people in line. The father who founded this famous spot was such a gentleman--so kind and warm--and his son, who made my stroopwafels, was funny and just as friendly. We started with one original and one chocolate-dipped stroopwafel, plus a tin of pre-made ones to take home. After trying both, we preferred the original. We walked around a bit, then decided one tin just wasn't enough (lol), so we went back for another fresh original and another tin to bring home. By then, the line was long, but it moved super fast. I wouldn't say the fresh ones are necessarily better than the pre-made ones--they're just different. The fresh ones are warm and crispy, while the pre-made ones are cold and crispy, each with its own charm. With a nice cup of coffee or tea, both are absolutely delicious. All in all, I loved the whole experience and will definitely be back next time I'm in Amsterdam. The price of €3 is very reasonable too! Note to the neighboring vendors: one of you should seriously consider selling good tea, coffee, or hot chocolate to go with Rudy's stroopwafels instead of those ubiquitous t-shirts! Trust me--you'd do far better business. One needs a drink to go with these stroopwafels... otherwise, you might just choke from all that deliciousness!

    It was so hard to find a place in Amsterdam that had plain, fresh stroopwafels, and not the ones with all the sprinkles and "aesthetic" toppings. Rudi's is located in Albert Cuyp Market so the hours are more limited, but it's worth planning your day around if you want a fresh stroopwafel from Rudi's. The price of one (3 euros, without the chocolate dip) is definitely on the pricier end, but the stroopwafels are the larger size and you can't beat a freshly made one. The 3 employees there worked quickly and the whole operation seemed quite efficient. Overall, fantastic tasting cookie, just be careful of the caramel it might drip since it's still warm

    I love me some stroopwafels, but literally the only stroopwafels I keep eating in Amsterdam are the ones from Albert Hejin. I made it a point to actually try a real stroopwafel spot, so I came to Rudi's Original Stroopwafels. This is located in Albert Cuyp Market. Got one Chocolate Stroopwafel with Excellent Chocolate Topping. So soft and oh so sweet! Definitely better than the stroopwafels you'll find at a supermarket. And in case you are wondering what makes their chocolate topping "excellent," it's because it's "made with love!"

    Kelly H.

    Can't go to Amsterdam without getting a stroopwafel! For the price of 3 euros, you can a grab a freshly made one here (4 euros if you want it dipped in chocolate). There's typically a line but moves fast! Stroopwafel was warm and delicious! You can also opt to purchase premade ones in a bag or cute tin box!

    Front of food stall, line goes quick

    What a yummy treat at the Cuypmarket. Advertised as Rudi's Original Stroopwaffel. But I have nothing to compare it to, as I had never had it before. But I think I have seen it before. It's a tasty (mostly fattening) dessert or snack. Probably pretty yummy with coffee or hot tea. Enjoyable I guess anytime of day. According to the internet: Stroopwafel is a delicious Dutch cookie that looks like a small waffle. Each is filled with a spiced buttery caramel syrup. The Dutch word for this is stroop. Hence, the name of this cookie means syrup waffle. The line was long, but it moved quickly. Comes out hot fresh off the griddle, but cools off pretty quickly. This little stall has quite the following, drawing a crowd, and entertaining guests with bositerious personality from the hosts as everyone waited in line. Solid choice if in the area.

    Located in Albert Cuyp Markt, Rudi's Stroopwafels will stand out amongst all the other food vendors with their long lines. Stroopwafels should be on every visitor's list of foods to try and there will be a lot of places that sell them. But out of everything we tried, Rudi's was my favorite because of the price and freshness. They take credit cards! Don't let the long lines deter you because it moves pretty fast. The workers are making one thing only so they can keep churning fresh stroopwafels. For the fresh ones, you can choose to have it half-dipped in chocolate but I wanted to try the original to taste it as it is. So good, especially when it's warm! It's got a slight crunchy but it's also soft at the same time. Try your best to hold it horizontal or else the caramel in between will slowly ooze out from the bottom. You can also buy pre-packaged stroopwafels to bring home as gifts! 3 packs for 10 euros is a pretty decent deal and if you want to present it nicely or protect it from being smashed, you can also purchase a tin can for each pack. Makes a great souvenir for friends and family!

    Had to try this while strolling down one of Amsterdam's larger markets. Line was not too long and moved very quickly as the main options were original or chocolate. It's ~3 euro for the original. Made fresh right in front of you. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great place for a quick snack when checking out the different vendors in this lively outdoor market!

    Heather P.

    Freshly made on the spot. You wait in line, but the line moves along, then order and pay at the counter. Plain stroop, with chocolate, or premade tins to go. We did plain so we could really taste the flavors. After you pay you then tell the waffle guy which you ordered and he makes it for you while you watch. The staff are super fun and friendly. They make you feel special when ordering. They also advise you how to eat so you don't get burnt and so you don't drip the hot caramel off the sides of the waffle. A necessary treat when at the street market.

We were there the day after Kings day and it was a lovely morning. The weather was cool, but not cold and we were able to enjoy the nice breeze and canal boats passing by. I was also able to connect to the WiFi from the Casino across the river. It was weak, but still worked. We were seated outside and waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came by to take our order for food and drinks. We ordered the banana crepe to share and I got a coffee while my wife ordered the pear juice. The pair juice comes from a bottle. The coffee was served in a small cup and was ok. I am used to drinking it with cream and sweetener. But Europeans don't have these items, so I just drank it with sugar. I think we waited almost 30 minutes before our food came out. Now, we only ordered crepes with bananas inside. Usually at the mall, it takes a few minutes to make crepes. I don't know how it took almost 30 minutes for them to make 1 item. Mind you, the place was not full when we came, so I don't understand how long we had to wait for our server to order our food and why it took so long for them to make our food. Once it finally came out, I thought the crepe was good, but not out of your mind fantastic. It's just basic tbh. Will I ever come back, probably not due to the wait time and the food wasn't all that great.

The place has an incredible personality starting with the super narrow stairs you have to climb to get there. Gives you a feeling of a quirky fun atmosphere with teapots hanging from the ceiling. I suggest you order a savory and a sweet pancake so you can compare. We pick "The King" for sweet, with strawberries, powder sugar and whipped cream and the bacon, cheese and sugared ginger for savory. Both were really good but my fav definitely was the sweet one. The portion per pancake is enough for one person and they are also perfect for share if you order two or three. There are other pancake places but this one felt authentic!

    4.3 and rounded up. On a drizzly Saturday afternoon in November, I stopped by Lanskroon to pick up…read moretheir version of the stroopwafel for which Amsterdam is so famously known. As a fan of both chewy/soft or alternatively crispy cookies, I appreciated the crunch on honingwafel that contrasted with its gooey center. Walking into around 2pm the bakery was steadily busy though didn't feel excessively crowded. A couple customers or groups would trickle in at a time, there were two people in line in front of me, perfect for me to take in the options and decide what to get. There are about 5-6 smaller cafe tables set up for about 2-3 people each, not a place for larger groups. The staff (woman at the counter), was friendly and helpful when I asked about the differences in the wafels, her recommendations, and what some of the other baked goods were. I was very curious about the gember køek and she said that was her favorite in the store. So I got: - honingwafel €3.60: as mentioned above crispy cookies with a honey syrup center. I'm kinda curious what this consisted of since it tasted less sweet than only honey itself. Level of sweetness is probably 6 or 7 out of 10. I ate it by itself and thought it would go well with some coffee or tea. As you're eating a little of the syrup may be squeezed out of the sandwich at the edges so take care. As they sold more, I saw fresh cookies being prepared on the side. - gember køek €3.20: as a ginger lover, I couldn't say no to this one; it's an almond cookie covered on top with chunks of candied ginger. A softer crumb, the ginger pieces were very sweet, cloyingly so that after eating about half (on a separate day than the wafel) I wish I had a cup of black coffee in the moment. - speculaasbrokken €5.50: crispy speculos cookies (think those bischoff ones they serve on Delta flights also widely available in US grocery stores now), but house-made and with almond slivers on top. I found them slightly less dense and with a texture similar to a crunchy graham cracker. I'm curious about their black current and poppyseed pastries, and would gladly drop by again to try these!
