FYI- Stroopwafels are waffle cookies filled with caramel. These delicious 'things' originated from The Netherlands in the 19th century. They have now been re-invented by Van Wafels.
The Story:
One rainy autumn day in 2008 Erik and I (Abhishek) decided to give stroopwafel cookie making a real go. With a waffle iron in hand and no clue what to do or how to proceed, the process of randomized waffle cookie experimentation began. Trial and error for a year and a half finally lead to the invention of our very own delicious stroopwafel recipe. In fact, Brown students and staff both loved our cookies so much that we set up a waffle cookie sale to see if the we were actually on to something.
We realized our cookies were special and we thought what the heck?...Let's become The Waffle Cookie Company!...and that is how Van Wafels was born.
Fast forwarding to the present, we are now out and about delivering our cookies to cafes in Providence.
Good luck guys - would love to check the blog, but as Daniel noticed - blog is protected. Might want to make this easier for us to view!
A fellow Brown Alum checking in to wish you good luck. Also-- your blog link seems to require a login ("This blog is protected, to view it you must log in.") which is going to really limit who will see it...
I'd love to eventually see an online purchase point as well for those of us (like myself in the deep South) that may have no other choice but to order online. The only stroopwafels that I can find now are most likely MANY months old, and i would love to be able to order them fresh and have them shipped! Good luck!
Dear All,
Thank you for your support!
Van Wafels are indeed currently made with all natural ingredients and no preservatives. We hope to move towards using organic ingredients as we expand.
Regarding stores, we are expanding in Providence rapidly and hope to be in stores in Boston and NY by year end.
Hello- question: are Van Wafels by chance made with any organic, all natural, or even just local ingredients?
Zomg I love stroopwafels! I'm half dutch and my parents sometimes have these around the house. I've been having trouble finding them in NYC. For whatever reason I can only find the maple syrup ones. Here's to your success and to seeing you in stores!
Congrats! Inspiring ! Here's to Van Wafels across the world!!- Munira/Ashish
