The coffee drinker who takes a snack along
If you want to take one stroopwafel to work or have one on the go, check how many waffles are in each wrapper. Sligro lists the Daelmans Single Pack as containing one large 39 g stroopwafel.
Who is the packaging important for?
The fan of a leisurely coffee break
If you want to rest a stroopwafel on top of a hot cup, the size of the waffle and the opening of the cup matter. Daelmans suggests this as a way to enjoy its stroopwafels.
The shopper planning several breaks
A pack with several waffles can be practical for coffee breaks on different days. PLUS lists stroopwafels in packs of ten; also check whether the waffles are wrapped individually or together.
What should you check when choosing?
First decide how many waffles you want to open for one coffee break. Then compare the size and the information on the label of the exact pack you’re considering.
| What to consider | What to check before you buy | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking one waffle with you | Count the waffles in each wrapper and check the weight of each waffle. | If I take one stroopwafel with me, I don’t want to be left with an opened bag. For around 40% of consumers, having a clearly defined portion to take away comes first. |
| Size to enjoy with coffee | Check whether the waffle fits over your cup and whether the pack suggests a way to enjoy it. | For a leisurely coffee break, I might want to rest the waffle on top of my hot drink, provided it fits over the cup. This coffee ritual comes first for around 30% of consumers. |
| A supply for several breaks | Compare the number of waffles, the wrappers and the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion. | If I’m planning several coffee breaks, I want to have enough waffles at home. For around 30% of consumers, having a supply in is the biggest priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a small pack contains one waffle
A single pack and a duo pack don’t necessarily contain the same number of waffles per wrapper. Sligro lists one waffle in the Daelmans Single Pack; PLUS also lists Daelmans duo packs.
Check the number of waffles in each wrapper and the weight per waffle before choosing a pack size.
-
Relying on the label for a different variant
Ingredients and allergens depend on the exact stroopwafel you buy. The Daelmans Duopack listed by PLUS includes wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients.
If you have an allergy or coeliac disease, always read the ingredients and allergen information on the physical packaging.
-
Assuming an old product page reflects what’s currently available
Albert Heijn marks its ‘AH Stroopwafel voor onderweg’ product as discontinued. Jumbo says its 8 × 29 g pack is no longer available online.
Check with the retailer to see which pack you can actually buy now.
Brands to consider
Daelmans
Daelmans offers a range of pack sizes. Sligro lists a Single Pack with one large 39 g stroopwafel; PLUS also lists duo packs and bags.
- A wrapper containing one waffle is a clear option for taking one with you.
- Don’t assume the single pack details apply if you buy a duo pack or bag: check the number of waffles and the label for each variant.
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn has a product page for ‘AH Stroopwafel voor onderweg’.
- The product name gives you a starting point if you’re looking for a pack to take with you.
- Albert Heijn marks this product as discontinued; check which stroopwafels are currently available.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists product information for a pack of stroopwafels weighing 8 × 29 g.
- The weight of each waffle helps you compare portions; the page also gives nutritional information per 29 g.
- Jumbo says this pack is no longer available online.
PLUS
PLUS lists both Daelmans packs and PLUS Karamel stroopwafels in packs of ten.
- You can compare the listed quantities, ingredients and nutritional information for individual variants.
- A bag of ten doesn’t tell you how many waffles are in each individual wrapper; check the packaging if that matters for your coffee break.
Sondey

- The number of waffles and pack weight are listed, so you can assess the size.
- Lidl says this pack is only available in store; it isn’t a single pack.
Stroopwafels for a coffee break
These packs contain eight or ten stroopwafels, so they’re suitable for more than one coffee break. If you want to take exactly one waffle with you, check how many waffles are together in each wrapper for each product.

Frequently asked questions
Does a single pack always contain one stroopwafel?
No. Don’t rely on words such as ‘single’ or ‘on the go’ to tell you how many waffles are inside. Sligro lists the Daelmans Single Pack as containing one large 39 g waffle; check the number of waffles in each wrapper for any other pack.
Can I warm a stroopwafel over my coffee?
You can rest a stroopwafel on top of a hot cup if it fits. PLUS suggests this as a way to enjoy a Daelmans stroopwafel; check the size and follow any instructions on the pack you choose.
Where can I check the allergens in stroopwafels?
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the physical packaging of the exact variant. Your Europe states that prepacked foods in the EU must provide information about ingredients and allergens; don’t rely on the label for a different size or brand.
Is online nutritional information enough if I have an allergy?
Use online information to compare products, but check the label on the pack you receive before eating it. That way, you can base your choice on the ingredients and allergen information for that product.
