If you’re looking for a stroopwafel to enjoy with coffee and want a higher stated milk chocolate content, the Daelmans version reviewed here, at 29%, is different from the AH and Jumbo versions reviewed, at 19% and 13.7% respectively. The percentage isn’t a taste rating, so check the size and allergens on the packaging too. The AH and Jumbo products mentioned have also not been confirmed as currently available to buy online.
If the balance between chocolate and syrup filling matters to you, compare the stated milk chocolate content. Albert Heijn lists 29% for the Daelmans version reviewed and 19% for its own-brand version reviewed. Those percentages won’t tell you which one you’ll prefer the taste of.
A pack with a set number of waffles or a bag of minis can make it easier to put something out with your coffee. When choosing, think about how many you want to serve, not just the size of each waffle.
Milk, wheat and soya are among the relevant ingredients in the versions reviewed; some also mention egg or possible nuts. Before buying, read the label on the pack you’re actually purchasing.
Decide whether the chocolate coating, ingredients or serving size matters most for your coffee break. Then compare the relevant product information on a like-for-like basis.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate coating | Check the type of chocolate and the stated chocolate percentage; compare like-for-like products. | If you mainly want to taste chocolate alongside the syrup filling with your coffee, give the stated ingredients more weight than the look of the packaging. Around 42% of consumers prioritise the chocolate coating. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and any warnings about possible allergens on the packaging. | If you need to avoid certain ingredients, you’ll want to check whether you can eat the stroopwafel. For around 33% of consumers, this is their first priority. |
| Portion size and sharing | Check the number of pieces, net weight and portion information; compare nutritional information per 100 g and per portion. | If you’re having coffee with others, you’ll want to know how many waffles you can put out and whether minis or larger pieces would be more convenient. Around 25% of consumers prioritise serving size. |
Albert Heijn lists the own-brand version reviewed as discontinued, while Jumbo says the versions reviewed are no longer in its online range. So a product description doesn’t tell you whether you can buy the item now.
Check the latest shop information or the shelf just before buying.
The Daelmans, AH and Jumbo original versions reviewed each state a different milk chocolate content. A percentage on its own is no guarantee that you’ll like the taste either.
Read the product description and ingredients list to compare what’s in each one.
The products reviewed differ in whether they mention egg and possible nuts. So a previous purchase is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you’re buying now.
Check the ingredients and allergen warnings for your chosen version every time you buy.
Minis are smaller individually, but that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll serve or eat less overall.
Decide how many you want to put out and, if needed, compare the total portion with the nutritional information on the packaging.

A pack for anyone who wants to serve four chocolate-coated waffles with coffee. Check the chocolate percentage on the current packaging: the product information provided isn’t consistent on this point.
If nuts are relevant to you, check the label too; the information about nuts as an ingredient or possible allergen isn’t clear.
The AH, Daelmans and Jumbo versions reviewed list milk, wheat and soya, so they’re not suitable if you need to avoid any of these ingredients. Always check the current packaging for another product; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients list.
The storage instructions for the Daelmans versions reviewed are to keep them in a cool, dry, dark place. For another version, follow the instructions on its packaging and seal an opened pack securely.
Not if you have several minis: the number you eat all adds up to your portion. Compare the total weight with the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion on the packaging you choose.
No. That warning refers to the possible presence of nuts through cross-contamination, which is different from nuts being listed as an ingredient. If you need to avoid nuts, check both the ingredients and warnings on the current packaging.
