Van Wonderen opened its first store on the distinctive Kalverstraat. Our stores dedicate its name to the grandfather of founder Colin van Wonderen: Gerard van Wonderen (1907). In fact, the idea for an artisanal stroopwafel store and the love for Dutch cookies originated years ago.About 25 years ago, Colin discovered the warm Stroopwafel. Together with his grandfather, he went to the market on weekends and was allowed to order a fresh warm stroopwafel .After several years of doing business within various industries, the opportunity arose to establish his own stroopwafel concept. A test with family and friends did not take long, smiles and many tasty faces were the result. The warm stroopwafel that Colin had been taught to eat by his grandfather Gerard van Wonderen was brought back to life! By now we are many happy faces further and many people know how to find our store with Dutch syrup waffle cookies.Our mission? To share this feeling and taste with many more future visitors!
