A great time being shown how to make, decorate and taste your own stroopwafels, then take them home in a beautiful Melly's tin. A must-do for an hour in Amsterdam. Thank you very much.

What a unique experience, we had such a great time. The lady who looked after us was amazing; she explained the history of stroopwafels and showed us exactly what to do to make them. We made our own waffles and took them home in a beautiful tin. I would definitely recommend a visit.

An excellent workshop and great value for money. We learned the history of the stroopwafel and then the techniques to make and decorate them ourselves to take home. A fun and delicious activity.

I had the best time at Melly's stroopwafel workshop. Moran was so nice. She explained the history of the stroopwafel and walked me through every step. At the end you get a tin to take your stroopwafel home in, plus a certificate. Very fun and unique, I would definitely recommend it.

The stroopwafels and cookies at Melly's were so delicious that we planned to make the waffles ourselves. George was cheerful and encouraging, and gave us great local recommendations too. We've been to Amsterdam often, and Melly's is certainly a highlight.
