Bake, taste, then toast: Amsterdam's sweetest two-part experience

What if you could combine hands-on Dutch baking with the perfect post-workshop reward? That's exactly what this experience delivers: bake your own traditional stroopwafels in a cozy Amsterdam workshop, then stroll to a heritage café for a complimentary cocktail or glass of wine.

It's the ideal blend of cultural immersion, creative fun, and well-deserved indulgence.

Part 1: Get your hands sticky (in the best way)

Your experience begins in a welcoming Amsterdam bakery where the smell of caramel and warm dough sets the mood. After meeting your friendly instructor and hearing the surprisingly fascinating history of the stroopwafel — a Dutch staple since the 18th century — you'll watch a live demonstration of the traditional technique.

Then it's your turn to become a stroopwafel baker. Roll out the dough, press it in authentic waffle irons, and watch it transform into golden, crispy perfection. The most satisfying moment? Slicing your hot waffle in half and spreading warm, gooey caramel syrup between the layers.

You'll make two XL stroopwafels: one to enjoy immediately with Dutch coffee or tea while sharing stories with fellow bakers, and another perfectly packed to take home (or devour on your walk to the café — we won't judge).

Part 2: Unwind at a heritage Amsterdam café

After your baking success, take a short scenic walk through Amsterdam's charming streets to House of Stapel, a classic Dutch brown café with warm wood interiors and centuries of character.

Here's where your ticket includes something special: your choice of a complimentary cocktail or glass of wine. Sink into a cozy corner, reflect on your newfound stroopwafel-making skills, and enjoy the authentic Amsterdam café culture that locals have cherished for generations.

It's the perfect way to transition from active participant to relaxed observer, savoring both your accomplishment and the moment.
