Colleagues who want to grab one small waffle
If you want the biscuit tin to offer individual treats without having to open a bag, individually wrapped waffles are essential. Jumbo states that its 8 g Mini Stroopwafeltjes are individually wrapped.
Who are these stroopwafels for?
Colleagues who prefer a larger waffle
A mini isn’t the same as a larger stroopwafel to enjoy with a coffee. Jumbo lists a Daelmans pack of 36 x 1 pieces; check the packaging to see whether each waffle is individually wrapped.
Offices where twin packs or an open bag work well
If you don’t mind having two waffles per pack, twin packs are another option. Jumbo lists Kanjers as 4 x 2 pieces, while PLUS describes Daelmans Duo as a pack containing two waffles. With a standard bag, you’ll need to decide how to store it once it’s open.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how many waffles someone should be able to take at a time. Then consider the size, how you’ll store the supply and the information on the label.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped portions | Look for an explicit statement that each waffle is individually wrapped; the total number of waffles doesn’t tell you this. | I want to be able to take one waffle without taking a second one from the same pack. For around 36% of consumers, individual portions are the main concern. |
| Size and quantity | Compare the weight per waffle, the number of waffles and whether they’re sold singly or in twin packs. | For the coffee break, I want to know whether a mini will do or whether I should offer larger waffles. For around 29% of consumers, size is the top priority. |
| Storing an open pack | Check whether the waffles come in individual wrappers or a standard bag, and read the storage instructions. | If I don’t mind having an open bag at the office, I don’t need to choose waffles that are individually wrapped. For around 21% of consumers, how they store their supply matters most. |
| Label information | Read the ingredients, allergen information, best-before date and storage instructions on the exact pack. | If colleagues need to check what’s in a waffle, I want to have the information for the product I’ve bought to hand. For around 14% of consumers, this is their main concern when buying. |
Common mistakes
-
Confusing the number of waffles with the number of individual portions
Eight waffles could also be packed as four twin packs. Jumbo lists Kanjers as 4 x 2 pieces, while PLUS describes Daelmans Duo as two waffles in one pack. Neither gives you exactly one waffle per sealed pack.
Check how the waffles are packed, not just the number of pieces. If one waffle per serving is essential, choose a product that’s explicitly described as individually wrapped.
-
Using label details from a different product variant
Product listings from Jumbo and Joybuy give different ingredient information for different Kanjers packs. The details for one pack therefore aren’t a reliable guide to another variant.
If you keep a shared supply at the office, have the current label for the stroopwafels you’ve actually bought available and check the allergen information.
Brands worth comparing
Daelmans
Worth considering if you’re looking for a twin pack for a coffee break or a larger pack of counted waffles.
- PLUS describes Daelmans Duo as a pack containing two stroopwafels; Jumbo also lists a Daelmans pack of 36 x 1 pieces.
- A twin pack won’t meet the requirement for one waffle per pack. For the 36 x 1 pieces, check whether each waffle is individually wrapped.
Jumbo
A supermarket own-brand worth considering if individually wrapped minis would suit your office supply.
- Jumbo explicitly describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes 18 x 8 g as individually wrapped.
- Jumbo also lists Stroopwafel 8 x 29 g, but the number of pieces alone doesn’t confirm that they’re individually wrapped.
Kanjers
An option if two larger stroopwafels per pack suit your coffee break.
- Jumbo lists Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels as 4 x 2 pieces.
- A twin pack won’t meet a strict requirement for one waffle per sealed pack. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant.
Albert Heijn
Worth considering if you’d like to look at products such as AH Stroopwafel voor onderweg.
- Albert Heijn lists AH Stroopwafel voor onderweg and a Daelmans Stroopwafels 4-pack.
- The name ‘voor onderweg’ doesn’t tell you how many waffles are individually wrapped. Albert Heijn recommends checking the current packaging for ingredient and allergen information.
ALDI
A standard pack to consider if individually wrapped portions aren’t essential.
- ALDI lists a pack of 12 stroopwafels with a net weight of 378 g and also shows mini stroopwafels in its biscuit range.
- Check the packaging if you want each standard-sized stroopwafel to have its own wrapper.
Sondey
Lidl’s own brand is worth considering if you’re looking at standard-sized or mini stroopwafels.
- Lidl lists Sondey butter stroopwafels and mini butter stroopwafels.
- Before adding them to a shared biscuit tin, check how the waffles are portioned and read the current label for your chosen pack.
Stroopwafels at Joybuy
This Kanjers pack contains 10 stroopwafels and is an option to consider for the office. If each colleague needs to be able to take one sealed portion, check before buying whether the waffles are individually wrapped.

Kanjers Extra Delicious Stroopwafels, 10 pieces
For an office supply where a pack of 10 waffles works well. If you want to serve individual portions, check whether they’re individually wrapped. Read the label for the ingredients and allergen information for this variant.
Frequently asked questions
Which stroopwafels should I choose if everyone needs to be able to take exactly one?
Choose a pack that’s explicitly confirmed as individually wrapped. Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes 18 x 8 g as individually wrapped. A twin pack with two waffles in each wrapper won’t meet the same requirement.
Is a stroopwafel described as ‘for on the go’ automatically individually wrapped?
No, the product name doesn’t confirm how it’s packed. Check the current product description or packaging for AH Stroopwafel voor onderweg before choosing it for a biscuit tin with individual portions.
Where can I find allergen information for a shared biscuit tin?
Read the label on the exact pack you’re buying. Ingredients and allergens can vary between products, so keep this information available for colleagues who need it to make their choice.
How should I store stroopwafels in the office biscuit tin?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. If the waffles are individually wrapped, you can leave them sealed until they’re ready to eat. If you’ve opened a bag, follow the storage advice for that specific product.
