About

Toffee waffles are a subject of gastronomical devotion in the Netherlands, where they are called stroopwafels (“strope-vafels”). Not to be confused with their cousin, the Belgian waffle, stroopwafels are thin, delicate waffles, split in half and fill with creamy caramel. They have a rich, buttery flavor with just a hint of cinnamon.

When served the traditional way—atop a mug of steaming hot coffee or tea— the waffle’s caramel center becomes delectably soft, while your beverage stays piping hot. A toffee waffle is more than just a little something with your drink. A toffee waffle means a commitment, for just a few moments, to pause. A koffiepauze with a toffee waffle, is well worth the time.

Proper People, LLC, is the only producer of toffee waffles in the Midwest and one of only a handful of stroopwafelmakers in North America. These toffee waffles contain no artificial preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup, or any other industrial food-like products. Instead, Proper People’s waffles are each made by hand, using high-quality, local ingredients and packaged in biodegradable bags. See the source of each ingredient on the ingredients page.
