Rudi’s Original Stroopwafels | Albert Cuyp Markt Amsterdam

This place was actually quite enjoyable — the taste was definitely not disappointing. Although the queue was a bit long, it added to the anticipation. The dough had a lovely aroma and just the right level of sweetness, not overpowering at all. It’s the kind of treat that feels balanced and well thought out. However, if we’re talking pure value for money, I personally feel that the red-themed shop nearby still wins. That one delivers a more satisfying experience in terms of both flavor and portion size. Still, this spot is worth trying if you’re in the area and don’t mind the wait.

By far, the best stroopwafel that I've tried during my time in the Netherlands. Not only the flavour is sublime, but the experience is really worth it, it's beautiful to see the family working with so much passion, and they're super nice people. The line can seem quite big, but it moves really fast. My first visit was in 2023 and I absolutely loved it. So when I came back to the Netherlands for my exchange this year, I knew what was my first stop in Amsterdam. I strongly recommend everyone to try it.

People aren’t lying when they say this is the BEST stroopwaffle in Amsterdam!! Absolutely loved it and the guys working there are so chatty and friendly. Would 100% recommend the visit. €3 for a fresh stroopwaffle! Just make sure to check their opening times as they are different to most ‘shops’ in the market!

Tried the original one and it was warm, crispy and delicious. Might be a little too sweet for your taste palette if you’re not a sweet tooth. Great and friendly service! Its a small truck so don’t expect any seating area!

There is a line however it moves fast. I liked the stroopwafels, it was crispier than i thought which i enjoyed. The staff were so nice, we got to chat a little bit. There you can buy stroopwafels to go, gifts. On my way there i discovered the bazaar, amazing location. Wouldnt have discovered it if i didnt come here. Overall, very cheap, kind and friendly staff, amazing location.

Probably the most popular stall in the entire street. The staff was super sweet and chatty and welcoming - and this was to everyone! Considering the long line, I'm impressed they are able to maintain this momentum. That said, stroopwafel is likely not for me - too sweet. Though that's how stroopwafel are supposed to be, so I'm not taking a star from this shop. They prepare the stroopwafel on the spot - from the wafer to the sugar coating and chocolate.

Definitely worth the hype. It’s a true classic and absolutely worth the short trip outside the city center. I tried the traditional stroopwafel — super fresh, warm, and just €3! Skip the touristy spots in town and head to Rudi’s instead. You won’t regret it. Even if there’s a long line, don’t worry — it moves quickly. Totally lives up to the reputation.

I visited this place after reading good reviews online. I went around 1 PM and there were only two groups ahead of me, so I didn’t have to wait long. (I noticed a line forming when I left, so I think I got lucky with the timing.) They make each order fresh, so you get it piping hot. The caramel inside is really gooey, so be careful to hold it upright or it might spill out. It was very tasty.

Had to try this while strolling down one of Amsterdam's larger markets. Line was not too long and moved very quickly as the main options were original or chocolate. It's ~3 euro for the original. Made fresh right in front of you. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great place for a quick snack when checking out the different vendors in this lively outdoor market!

I love me some stroopwafels, but literally the only stroopwafels I keep eating in Amsterdam are the ones from Albert Hejin. I made it a point to actually try a real stroopwafel spot, so I came to Rudi's Original Stroopwafels. This is located in Albert Cuyp Market. Got one Chocolate Stroopwafel with Excellent Chocolate Topping. So soft and oh so sweet! Definitely better than the stroopwafels you'll find at a supermarket. And in case you are wondering what makes their chocolate topping "excellent," it's because it's "made with love!"

What a yummy treat at the Cuypmarket. Advertised as Rudi's Original Stroopwaffel. But I have nothing to compare it to, as I had never had it before. But I think I have seen it before. It's a tasty (mostly fattening) dessert or snack. Probably pretty yummy with coffee or hot tea. Enjoyable I guess anytime of day. According to the internet: Stroopwafel is a delicious Dutch cookie that looks like a small waffle. Each is filled with a spiced buttery caramel syrup. The Dutch word for this is stroop. Hence, the name of this cookie means syrup waffle. The line was long, but it moved quickly. Comes out hot fresh off the griddle, but cools off pretty quickly. This little stall has quite the following, drawing a crowd, and entertaining guests with bositerious personality from the hosts as everyone waited in line. Solid choice if in the area.

Located in Albert Cuyp Markt, Rudi's Stroopwafels will stand out amongst all the other food vendors with their long lines. Stroopwafels should be on every visitor's list of foods to try and there will be a lot of places that sell them. But out of everything we tried, Rudi's was my favorite because of the price and freshness. They take credit cards! Don't let the long lines deter you because it moves pretty fast. The workers are making one thing only so they can keep churning fresh stroopwafels. For the fresh ones, you can choose to have it half-dipped in chocolate but I wanted to try the original to taste it as it is. So good, especially when it's warm! It's got a slight crunchy but it's also soft at the same time. Try your best to hold it horizontal or else the caramel in between will slowly ooze out from the bottom. You can also buy pre-packaged stroopwafels to bring home as gifts! 3 packs for 10 euros is a pretty decent deal and if you want to present it nicely or protect it from being smashed, you can also purchase a tin can for each pack. Makes a great souvenir for friends and family!

Freshly made on the spot. You wait in line, but the line moves along, then order and pay at the counter. Plain stroop, with chocolate, or premade tins to go. We did plain so we could really taste the flavors. After you pay you then tell the waffle guy which you ordered and he makes it for you while you watch. The staff are super fun and friendly. They make you feel special when ordering. They also advise you how to eat so you don't get burnt and so you don't drip the hot caramel off the sides of the waffle. A necessary treat when at the street market.

There were so many places selling fresh stroopwafels and we tried several of them - all were delicious. But the best stroopwafel we had in Amsterdam was from Rudi's! They have a stall in the market (Google Maps led us directly to them), not a storefront. There was a decent line when we got there, but the guys here know what they're doing - the line moved very quickly. We got one of each of the fresh stroopwafels (original and chocolate coated, which is the original with half of it coated in chocolate). They make it right in front of you and despite being super busy, are so much fun to chat with as well. Being they're made fresh, they are served hot and gooey - they do not skimp on the caramel at all! Eating it on the go was messy, but so worth it! They were also the cheapest fresh stroopwafels we had and they accept cash and card. I wish we could have had them again before leaving the city, but between our ticketed events/sightseeing and their open days/hours, it didn't work out. But this will definitely be on our list when we're back!

After trying several Stroopwafels around the city, I think I would say Rudi's was my personal favorite! There was a fairly long line but it moves at a decent pace, so don't worry! They have ready-to-go packaged stroopwafels for souvenirs, or maybe extras for yourself if you liked them so much! There was a deal to buy 3 of those packages for 10 EUR, or you could buy the tin can packaging for 6.99 EUR and one packaged stroopwafel. For fresh options, you can pick between original or a chocolate covered stroopwafel. I wanted the original to taste it as it is, and WOW it is so delicious fresh! The outside wafer is crisp, and the inside is oozy and warm. They warn you to keep the stroopwafel flat, as any turning or flipping will cause the filling and the stroopwafel to fall over! Would come back the next time I visit Amsterdam!

Excellent Stroopwafels freshly made in front of you while you wait. No seating, strictly pick up and go. Loved the market which included food, clothing, and art sellers. People were very friendly. Great activity on a nice day.

I regret getting a stroopwafel from anywhere else. Rudi's is the best and comes at the best price as well! Rudi's is located in the Albert Cuyp Market. Follow the smell and the line! The line moves very quickly though. They make the stroopwafel fresh right in front of you, so you know you're getting something delicious! You can get a plain stroop or one with chocolate slathered on. Grab a few tins to go to take home some stroops for your loved ones at home (if they make it that far!)

Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you're near Albert Cuyp market to stop here. The stroopwafels are fabulous. They are made to the order. Warm and fresh with a delicious caramel sauce center. You can add chocolate on the outside but I preferred the plain. They also sell little bags in two sizes you can take home or as a souvenir. They taste good even when you rewarm them later. This is not a tourist trap. It is also very well priced. The line moves quickly and the family that runs the space is super sweet and patient.

Stroopwafels are everywhere in Amsterdam and by all means, eat lots of them. But what you don't want to miss is the opportunity to eat a freshly made stroopwafel. With the cookie warm and the filling threatening to ooze down your shirt with each bite. Incredibly sweet and indulgent but hey, YOLO!

THE BIG: Located in the Albert Cuyp market, this stroopwafel food truck has the best stroopwafels at an affordable price! THE BLACK AND WHITE: There is always a line for this stroopwafel and with good intention! Simplicity is king and they focus on fresh stroopwafel: original and chocolate. They make it fresh in front of you and the cashier is hilarious! Taste wise, it's better hot and the caramel is nice and gooey. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall an original stroopwafel was only 2.50 euro! Best deal in town by a longshot as other stroopwafel places charge 7+ euro

Rudi's Original Stroopwafels should be at the top of your list to visit when in Amersterdam. Their food truck is located in the Albert Cuyp Market. These stroopwafels are delicious. We also grabbed a few packs to take home to share with family and friends.

When in Amsterdam, one must get stroopwafels --but not just any stroopwafel, get the original handmade ones at Rudi's. It's the most simple and perfect thing you can have. We arrived early on a Saturday morning, but they don't open until 11am. We waited to be the first customer as a line was quickly forming. There's only two options: original or chocolate as I went for the original (€2.50) and picked up some souvenir ones in a cute tin to bring home. You can watch them make your stroopwafel as soon as you order it --super hot and fresh. The caramel filling in the middle wasn't too sweet either, which was a pleasant surprise. I could have so many of these, but we had to save our stomachs for more food later. There are many other stroopwafel spots, but THIS is the one you need to get. Best stroopwafel ever!

Freshly made stroopwafels at a reasonable price! There was a decent line when we arrived but things move pretty quickly. You can choose between original or chocolate. I opted for chocolate for a little more depth of flavor. Just be careful as they're warm and fresh, so the chocolate as well as the filling started to melt and ooze out. I made a huge mess but it was worth it for the deliciousness! They also sell packs of smaller stroopwafels which make the perfect souvenir/gift. I picked up a few packs to bring back home. Tins available for sale too if you want nicer packaging for gifting, or are worried they'll be squished during travel. Overall, highly recommend for some delicious and affordable stroopwafels.

Had to try fresh stroopwafels on my first visit to Amsterdam, so I opted to stop by Rudi's Original Stroopwafels during my visit to Albert Cuyp Market. There was a wait as it is quite popular. But, the line went fast though. The employees are super efficient in what they do. They are quick to take orders and have the stroopwafels made in little to no time. The employees are very friendly and crack jokes. One even kindly took the time to pose for a photo as he saw me taking a photo of it being handed to me. As for the stroopwafels itself, it's big. Probably bigger than the size of my hand. They do sell smaller ones in packaging to take home, but the ones they make fresh are certainly bigger in size. My friend and I were full from our brunch, so we opted to share one. There is truly nothing like eating it fresh/on the spot! It came out warm, the caramel sauce spilled from the sides with each bite. It wasn't too sweet. That first impression was memorable.

We tried several of the top-rated stroopwafel spots in Amsterdam and this one is by far the best. Reasonable price - the next famous shop is almost 3x the cost for no reason. Made fresh on the spot, the waffles are crispy and the caramel gooey and just the right amount of sweetness. They keep it simple, no fancy crazy sprinkles and fruit - just original and chocolate. The line moves quickly and the gentlemen working are very nice. This is the #1 stroopwafel!

This was by far my favorite fresh Stroopwafels. We sampled a grand total of three bakeries during our trip to Amsterdam. There is something addicting about the texture and taste of Rudi's. Also this is a family run business offering a personal touch to to your experience. Great prices too. Cash or credit is accepted. Because the prices were dramatically lower than you'd find in Central, I purchased a 3-pack as gifts and one fresh original for myself to enjoy. The trailer is located within a farmers market setting. They have line ropes set up, because this place is worth the hype. Our luck was we went during the off season on a weekday, we didn't have to wait too long. The sad thing is, after sampling other places I kept wishing we had more time to go back so I could order the chocolate fresh stroopwafel to compare the original. To those of you going, go there as much as you can!

Dude, fresh made Stroopwafels in Amsterdam...yes please!!! 10,000 time better than the ones you buy at the gas station in the US.

Ordered: Original Stroopwafel (~€3) Aya's take: My first day in Amsterdam would certainly not be complete if I didn't have a stroopwafel! I had Rudi's on my list and when I was walking through this market and saw the line, I immediately joined. The Stroopwafel is freshly baked and made right in front of you which adds to the experience. The delicious caramel filling was warm, rich, and gooey. It got a bit messy but it was so good that it was gone within minutes. Definitely worth trying!

Stopped by Rudi's located in the street market for Stroopwafels. This was my first time trying Stroopwafels and it was SO GOOD! Due to their popularity, there was a bit of a queue, but they were efficient and kept it moving quickly. The men working the truck were funny and full of character, keeping guests entertained as they made their selections. I decided on an original stroopwafel, and I also purchased a few of their prepackaged ones to take home and share as gifts. The original stroopwafel was warm, sweet, and delicious. The caramel in the center was also warm and runny (careful not to let it drip on you!!). The pre packaged ones were also very fresh, and a hit with everyone we shared them to. Highly recommend this location if you're looking for a great quality stroopwafel in Amsterdam.

If you're in Amsterdam you have to make your way to this place! I got the original stroopwaffle at first and it was so good I came back later to try their chocolate one. The workers are all so nice and welcoming and my experience was an 11/10! I loved the chocolate one but I would say stick with the original, it just can't be beat!

One of the best places to try fresh stroop waffles. It's very fast and the owner is a character. Give them a try when visiting the market it's only 2.50 euros for the original.

I felt it was obligatory to try a stroopwafel in Amsterdam and didn't expect to find them to be anything special. I was wrong! Rudi's was incredible. I could smell the deliciousness from a block away. The staff was so nice and welcoming and pricing was very fair. My stroopwafel was prepared fresh right in front of me and was warm, gooey, and oh so tasty!

A must try! These were much more reasonably priced than some of the other places plus you get to check out the market as well. The Stroopwafels were so warm and fresh. Highly recommend!

Friendly service- its like a fresh thin waffle cone with chewy texture and caramel in the middle- its good and I can cross it off my must try in Amsterdam list now - I am not a huge fan though but feel really food about finding the Original !

Family-owned local stand right inside of Albert Cuyp Market. They have been making stroopwafels for ages and it definitely shows. Everything is perfectly made and the wafels come out piping hot. We got one of the original and one of the chocolate (tip: if you get the chocolate one, start from the uncovered side and work your way to the chocolate side, allowing it to solidify). The owners were super friendly and they sell their stroopwafels in packages as well. Highly recommend stopping by here for a taste!

Walked 35 minutes one way and it was WORTH it!! These *fresh* stroop waffles are the best in the city! They DO accept card payment! Going again tomorrow before I leave!

If you want a damn good stroopwafel cooked to order, then this is the spot. #enoughsaid

Amazing, freshly-made stroopwafels! Find this little trailer in the market. Walk past *any other ones you see* and make a bee-line for Rudi's. You can pay cash or card and he literally cooks the wafel parts and assembles them while you watch. For 0.5 € more, you can get 1/2 the wafel painted with chocolate!

This is an outside booth at a farmers market, there was a line but it moved very quickly. It seemed like a dad and son run business, everyone was very welcoming. We got the original stroop waffle with chocolate. I liked that the man making the waffle took my directions to add little caramel to the inside, it was very tasty and fresh. I would come back here for dessert, this was sweet but not too sweet.

Recommended by local friend, original stroopwaffles were amazing. Expect long lines in this beautiful albert cuyp market but the line is worth the wait. may be it be original waffle or chocolate, they taste amazing. There are lot of food stalls and shopping in the market to spend. time and it is worth a visit for sure when in amsterdam.

This was my first trip to Europe and thus I'd watched a bajillion YouTube videos on what to see and do. Rudi's was in several videos for Amsterdam and so I kind of fan-girl'd when I finally made it to this little stand in the Albert Cuyp Market. We met Rudi and his son, tried both types of stroopwafels and oh my gosh these are aaaamazing!

Rudi's originals is a classic well known stroopwafel place. Personally I believe these are the freshest and most reasonably priced ones around Amsterdam. They also have a deal for prepackaged ones if you want to bring some back as gifts for loved ones. Call my simple but I'd say skip the chocolate dip and just go full OG plain stroopwafel. You can really taste the richness in the Carmel flavor filling. And the crunchiness from the waffle when it hardens from cooling.

You can't go wrong with a stroopwaffel, but this one was excellent. Hot and syrupy dripping caramel. The location in the market is perfect while shopping. Eat it fast before it cools. It's literally perfection!

Don't be intimidated by the lines. It goes fast and you can see the dessert being made by friendly employees.

The best stroopwafel in Amsterdam, hands down! Crispy on the outside, gooey caramel inside. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

My favorite stroopwafel place to take visitors to Amsterdam. A classic staple in the Albert Cuypt market, they are a must try for new visitors. Each freshly made wafel is hot and gooey for you to try.

The only one I had and I like it. What did I get I went twice, the first time I got the original and the second time I got it with chocolate. It is freshly made and can't get better than that. It is nice and warm. Environment This is a food truck and it is on the albert Cuypstraat market. There are many little shops. There is one standing table available for you to stand and eat. Other than that you eat on the street. Niceness of the staff The guy making the waffle was super nice. Though he was higher up in his truck. He still managed to have conversations with me and everyone around. Dollar It was 2 for the regular and 2.50 for the chocolate one. Yes? I already went 2 different times. I would def go again.

I don't know about "original" stroopwafels but if the story told to us by the tour guide is true, then they're pretty darned old. The guy running the place got the business from his father. And his father was here back in the old days. Warm, melty, gooey, DELICIOUS. I don't know how well these transport, so maybe this isn't where you go to get stroopwafels to bring home.

Original Stroopwafels is widely regarded as the best place to go for Stroopwafels in Amsterdam. Having been featured in countless tourist guides, airline magazines, newspapers, and TV programs, it's fair to say that their product is world famous. I honestly had never heard of this treat prior to vacation planning, but I'm happy I found out about it. These things are both fun and delicious! Located in the Albert Cuyp market in the trendy De Pijp neighborhood, Original Stroopwafels has been baking the real "Goudsche Siroopwafels" according to the traditional recipe for generations. The quality speaks for itself, and the prices are very cheap. Despite the fame, we were pleasantly surprised to be met with no wait upon arrival, perhaps due to us getting there at an off hour as the market was starting to close. To eat, I ordered the Chocolate Original, priced at just 2 euros. My friends decided to go for the Original Stroopwafel (without chocolate), priced at I believe 1.5 euros. Freshly baked, I found my stroopwafel to be quite delicious and satisfying. These things are pretty big and definitely a bit rich. I wasn't quite able to finish the whole stroopwafel, but I would certainly return again. If looking for a traditional Dutch dessert, definitely pay this place a visit. It is pretty historical.

This is a super late post since I went to Amsterdam back in April 2018 but this is THE BEST STROOPWAFEL I have ever had! Yes, I purposefully typed that in all caps because it's that good. This business is located inside the Amsterdam marketplace. It's basically a whole strip of businesses setup like a farmer's/flea market with different types of food, apparel, and trinkets for sale. It's an awesome place to support local businesses and to also get souvenirs for yourself or for loved ones back home. The stroopwafels are freshly made to order. You can also decide what type of stroopwafel you want. There's the original (which is filled with caramel) and the chocolate (which is still filled with caramel but is topped with chocolate). The stroopwafel is enough for one person but if you're feeling generous, you can share it with someone else. The wafels come out piping hot, are slightly crispy on the outside, and the inside is full of ooey, gooey goodness. Man, I wish I was eating this right now! They also sell pre-packaged stroopwafels which I highly recommend buying for family and friends. Come here while you're in Amsterdam! I guarantee you'll be in stroopwafels heaven.

You canNOT go to Amsterdam and not hunt down this Stroopwafels truck. If you've never had stroopwafels before, let me break it down for you. Imagine two super thin, slightly crispy waffles with caramel squished in between, lightly warmed so that the insides are oozy and gooey. (Imagine a dip of chocolate, too, for you choco lovers.) That dessert perfection is a stroopwafel. You may have seen some of these prepackaged in a store before -- they're often marketed as great for putting on top of a hot cup of coffee or tea so that it can be warmed up and you reach that perfect gooey level. But at this truck, you don't need coffee or tea because 1) these stroopwafels are huge, and 2) the amazing man behind the counter will heat up these stroopwafels for you on his griddle. You can choose from an original, chocolate-dipped, or super stroopwafel. There were three of us, so we thought, yep, we're gonna do one of each. Pro tip: just get the super if you want to share it between 2-3 people. The only difference between the original and the super is size. It does take a bit of maneuvering around Amsterdam to get to the Albert Cuyp Market where the stroopwafels truck is located, but once you find it, you won't be disappointed. Just follow your nose (and the line of people)!

This truck is situated in the Albert Cuypstraat market. I ordered the chocolate stroopwafels; so imagine the dutch thin waffle with caramel syrup in between covered half with warm chocolate. Sounds sweet, huh? Because it was. Ahah. But it was super delicious especially when served fresh and hot! They also sell mini stroopwafels that comes with a tin of your choice that you can bring home as a souvenir, or for yourself. I brought some home for my family, and they also complimented how delicious these dutch waffles are.

The hype is real. Stroopwafel is one of those food items you MUST have when in Amsterdam/Holland. I didn't think much of it, especially when I heard it's sometimes made with caramel in between the two thin waffles; but boy, was I wrong. We came here to the Albert Cuyp Martket, just to find Original Stroopwafels and spotted the vendor once we saw a small line and smelled in the air, waffles! It's very quick how they're prepared. As mentioned, two thin waffles are sandwiched between a syrup to make it stick together and it can be topped with jam or chocolate sauce. My friends and I all decided to each get one, smeared with chocolate. BEST DECISION EVER. The stroopwafel was amazing and was definitely the BEST thing I ate in Amsterdam. The waffles were freshly-made and had a wonderful brown sugar flavor to them. The fact that they were warm, too, made it EXTRA. The caramel syrup in between was actually very good, and I loved having the chocolate on one side of the waffle for that extra oomph! I personally recommend getting it with chocolate. It was oozing with lots of flavor and so delectable. I could've ate another, but the portion is a good size for one person. We paid two euros for each of them. Just do yourself a favor in Amsterdam and make a trip here! Do not settle on another vendor selling stroopwafels. Original Stroopwafels is the real deal and what waffle dreams are made of.

A must-have if you're visiting Amsterdam. I made sure to go to Albert Cuyp Market to have this specific stroopwafle and it did not disappoint. I got the original because I wanted to experience the true flavor: hot, fresh and just delicious. I should've gotten two!

fresh and hot stroopwaffles. you can get them with or without the chocolate. be careful because the caramel can drop out and burn you!

They're served hot and fresh, super delicious! It may have been an off day, but the cashier was rude. He was kind to the customers just in front of me, but his attitude completely changed when he served me.

This was probably the best street snack we tried while in Amsterdam. Original Stroopwafels needs no introduction. You'll find the stand inside the Albert Cuyp Market. We dropped in on a Wednesday afternoon (around 4:30pm) and there was a constant group of people ordering and eating fresh stroopwafels. The guy manning the stand is friendly and quick. There's three options: original, chocolate and superstroopwaffle. - Original (€1,50) - they're made fresh and the inside is a caramel flavour. Hot, slightly crispy texture and gooey inside. Excellent and perfect to share. - 2x To go stroopwaffle (€4,95 for 10) - we bought two tins to bring home as gifts. They'll last for a month and you heat them up by putting them over your coffee/tea for two minutes. Only the one side! Definitely worth a quick visit.
