A team pressing and pouring caramel on fresh stroopwafels together at Melly's workshop in Amsterdam

Team outing · Amsterdam

The team outing your team actually remembers

Swap the conference room for a hot stroopwafel iron. Your team learns the 200-year-old recipe together, and everyone leaves with stroopwafels they made by hand.

  • Up to 12 per session
  • About 45 minutes
  • Heart of Amsterdam

€27,50 per person · larger teams run back-to-back

Why it works

Bonding that happens around the iron, not a slideshow

It is hands-on from the first minute. Colleagues who barely talk end up comparing caramel technique and laughing over toppings. No icebreakers needed, the baking does the work.

Something to do, together

Everyone makes, fills and decorates their own waffles side by side. It puts the whole team on the same level, hands in the dough, phones away.

Private and built around you

Book a session just for your group. We match the pace to your team and keep it relaxed, so quiet colleagues are as involved as the loud ones.

Five minutes from the office

We are in the centre of Amsterdam, walkable from Dam Square and surrounded by spots for lunch or drinks after. An easy slot in a busy team day.

How it works

Booking your team is three short steps

  1. 1

    Send us your group size and a few dates that work. We host up to 12 per session and run back-to-back sessions for bigger teams.

  2. 2

    We lock in your slot

    We confirm a private session, a time and a quote, and answer any dietary or invoicing questions before the day.

  3. 3

    Your team bakes and takes it home

    Everyone makes their own stroopwafels, fills them with warm caramel and leaves with a box to take back to the office or home.

Good to know

Team building workshop FAQ

How big a team can you host?
We host up to 12 people in one session. For bigger teams we run back-to-back sessions on the same day, so groups of 20, 30 or more all get their turn at the iron. Tell us your number and we'll plan it.
How long does the team workshop take?
About 45 minutes of hands-on baking per session. It fits neatly into an away day or an after-work slot without taking over the whole agenda.
Can you do it on a weekday or after work?
Yes. We run sessions throughout the week, including daytime and early-evening slots, so it works around a normal working day. Send us a few dates and we'll confirm what's open.
Do you send an invoice for companies?
Yes, we can invoice your company for the session. Mention it when you enquire and we'll sort out the details with you.
What does each person take home?
Everyone makes and decorates two of their own stroopwafels, then takes them home in a Melly's gift box together with a recipe card and a certificate of participation.
Someone on the team has an allergy, is that a problem?
The stroopwafel base contains egg, gluten (wheat), milk and soy, and some toppings add nuts. Check our allergen guide before you book and tell us about any allergies so we can advise.
