Solo visitors to the terrace
You want one syrup waffle with your drink, so the first thing to check is how many waffles you have to buy and take with you. A duo is more compact than a large pack, but it still contains two waffles.
Which option is right for you?
Coffee and tea drinkers
You’re looking for a large syrup waffle that fits on your cup. Albert Heijn and PLUS describe this way of warming Daelmans syrup waffles; check that the size of your chosen waffle fits your cup.
Stocking up
You want to buy syrup waffles to enjoy on several occasions. It’s not just the number in the pack that matters, but also whether you can seal the rest properly after opening.
What should you look for when choosing?
A duo to take with you
Choose this if: you want a small pack for one visit to the terrace; Albert Heijn and PLUS list Daelmans duo packs.
Bear in mind: a duo contains two waffles, not one.
A large syrup waffle with a hot drink
Choose this if: you want to place the waffle on a hot cup of coffee or tea, as described for the large Daelmans syrup waffle.
Bear in mind: check separately how many waffles you need to buy.
A pack for several occasions
Choose this if: you want to enjoy syrup waffles after your visit to the terrace, too.
Bear in mind: Voedingscentrum advises storing the rest in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed pack.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a duo means one waffle
A pack designed to take with you can still contain two syrup waffles. The Daelmans duo packs listed by Albert Heijn and PLUS contain two waffles.
Check the number of items on the pack. If you want to buy exactly one waffle, check whether it’s available individually.
-
Relying on the brand name for allergen information
Ingredients and allergen information apply to the specific variety, not the brand as a whole. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that prepacked products must display allergen information on the label.
When buying, check the current label on the exact pack you want to eat.
-
Opening a large pack for one visit to the terrace
After eating one waffle, you’ll have the rest to save for later. Voedingscentrum advises storing syrup waffles in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed pack.
Choose a smaller pack if you don’t want to take any home, or make sure you can seal the opened pack properly when you get home.
