You may try the rest, but Melly's is the best! We found Melly's to be the freshest, most luxurious and most flavorful stroopwafel in Amsterdam. Grab a coffee and a stroopwafel and life is good.

This stroopwafel is worth every euro. It's handed to you still warm, crunchy and with a delicious caramel melting in the middle.
Gabriella ShiomatsuLocal Guide
Had to try some Stroops when in Amsterdam, and this has to be one of the best ones without a doubt. So good we went back multiple times. Recommend the original and eat it while warm.
Derek LamoureuxLocal Guide
An absolute must-do. Very beautiful and cosy little traditional shop and the best stroopwafel flavours. The biscotti one blew my mind, only 7 euro for a warm freshly baked large stroopwafel.
CarolineLocal Guide
I tried their stroopwafel fresh and it was genuinely good. The texture had that perfect combination of crisp exterior and soft caramel center. It felt authentic rather than overly commercial.
Ibrahim NLocal Guide
Lovely little shop that specialises in stroopwafels with different toppings. They have medium and large ones, with offers on tins of 10. Amazing flavours from these stroopwafels.
JamesLocal Guide
We popped in to try a stroopwafel and loved it so much we had to make our own. Highly recommend both the cafe and the workshop as a unique experience in the heart of Amsterdam.

Our story

A true family business

In 1999, Argentine Guillermo Mellicovsky started a juice bar on this very spot. In 2003 he added Melly's Cookiebar, one of the first espresso bars in Amsterdam, and his nephew Daniel often helped out in the kitchen.

When Guillermo returned to Argentina, Daniel took his place in 2015. In 2019 he turned the original juice bar into Melly's Stroopwafels. The juices made way for warm stroopwafels, but the love of making something worth coming back for stayed exactly the same.
