Central Market, Yes!!!

Next step of the dream

Central Market will be in anyone’s top 3 if you ask a small business owner in consumer goods where they’d love to see their products on the shelves. Central Market stands for quality products, beautiful foods and care products and amazing partnerships with local, Texas businesses. And finally, luckily, since month and a half with us as well!

We’re proud to announce we’re supplying now with our very own stroopwafels.
The traditional and chocolate 5-packs, freshly baked for three locations so far. Extra fun for us, as the location in San Antonio is our first babystep out of Austin.
You can find our stroopwafels at the bakery section and at the coffee corner.

We’re super happy Central Market recognises our high quality and fun product.
5-Packs are good for sharing, perfect as a gift, but even more so suitable as (cheat) snack, not too much, not too little. 😉 And just saying, the cute 5-packs are perfect for gift baskets and gift packages in the holiday season too.

Go and grab some when you’re there for your weekend shopping or with your coffee to go in the cafe!

Here we are available:
Central Market North Lamar: 4001 N Lamar Blvd, Austin
Central Market Westgate: 4521 West Gate Blvd, Austin
Central Market San Antonio: 4821 Broadway St, San Antonio

We’re hoping to get to all other locations as soon as possible. In the meantime, keep supporting us by visiting the current stores and keep asking for our stroopwafels in the others. Keep an eye on our Facebook page as well, you don’t wanna miss our pop-ups for free hot freshly bakes stroopwafel samples!

And on our way again to the next step….

12 Dutch Islands you want to visit!

Yes, we have Islands!

You’d think of the Caribbean Islands, but did you know we have way more to offer?
We have tons of beautiful (little and some even artificial) islands to visit, pick one from the list below when you visit The Netherlands this summer. Don’t

1.Pampus: An artificial island constructed in the late 19th century in the IJmeer lake, close to Amsterdam. One of four forts commissioned as part of the Stelling van Amsterdam (Defence Line of Amsterdam), it had the capacity to accommodate 200 men but was only fully utilised during WWI.

2. The Wadden Islands Terschelling: With approximately 20,000 tourist beds, Terschelling is the largest and most visited Wadden Island. Experience untamed nature and long white beaches. In June, the island hosts the 10-day Oerol festival, the art and theatre performances taking place across the island.

3. Vlieland: Smaller, less densely populated than the neighbouring islands, yet only 90 minutes by ferry from Harlingen in Friesland.It offers serenity and nature, extensive cycle paths, and the promise of 20% more sunny days than the mainland. Finally you can get tanned!

4. Texel: Boasting 24kms of beaches and easy to reach via ferry from Den Helder, Texel is also famous for its lamb. All year, visitors can cycle around the island taking in the nature and stopping at one of the seven villages to refuel.

5. Ameland: Hosts a human population of around 3,500, an estimated 60 types of birds and many flora species. They tried to build a dyke in 1871 between the island and the mainland. The 8.7km dyke lacked durability and was destroyed by storms the following year, leaving remains that can be seen at low tide.

6. Schiermonnikoog: This island was turned into a national park in 1989. Voted the prettiest place in the Netherlands by the Dutch, Schiermonnikoog can be reached via ferry from Lauwersoog.

The Frisian Islands
7. Griend: This uninhabited small island, 12km south of Terschelling, has the largest colony of Sandwich terns (birds). In the Middle Ages a colony of monks also lived in the walled monastery on the island.

8. Rottumerplaat: Not accessible to ordinary humans.
Rottumerplaat is a zone restricted for the numerous bird species who live on the island and is the northernmost part of the Netherlands.

9. Rottumeroog: Uninhabited and under threat of disappearing due to changing sea currents.

10. Zuiderduintjes: A small island providing sanctuary to birds and seals, but inaccessible to humans.

11. Rif: With an area of less than 0.1 square kilometres, this bump in the water lies between Ameland and Schiermonnikoog.

12. Zeeland: Not officially ‘islands’ and the name for the entire province. It doesn’t touch any other part of the rest of Holland, it entirely borders Belgium and water! However, these beaches are always voted best and cleanest of the country and having Belgium nearby, means great beers and access to great food.

To celebrate Spring time AND everyone’s favorite bunny coming to town, we are having a special Everybunny Combo this Easter Weekend.

The closest Easter-related thing about us, considering the yellowness, is our mascotte, a little yellow fellow known as Kevin the Minion. (Whom we can’t bring to the market anymore as kids run away with him). Sorry, no rabbits, eggs or flowers, so we’ll stick to what we know and bring you hot stroopwafels at Lakeline and Mueller Farmer’s Market this weekend.
We don’t wanna let you go home empty handed though:
To add to all the fun, receive
– $1 off a 10-pack or
– 50 cents off a 2-pack stroopwafels
with every fresh stroopwafel you devour. Have a fresh one to get your fix right there and then and take some home for everyone waiting and craving for them over there.

Share the Love
Share the love and bring home a pack of stroopwafels for everybunny to share. It’s a beautiful addition to the breakfast or brunch table, guaranteed. Or the coffee table. Or with dessert. Everybody will love you, instantly.

Farmers’ Market special: Picante Piña!

Spring is the air and on the Farmers’ market!

And for us, being Dutch, Texan spring already feels like mid summer! We want to share our summer vibes with all of you, hoping to spread this feeling of a continuous working holiday. Cos that’s what our stay here feels like. Kind of… Sometimes… When we’re not working our *ss off to bake all of your stroopwafels that is…

We’re going all the way now with a tropical, delicious, sweet and spicy new March Special:

The Picante Piña 

It’s fresh pineapple, lightly salted and baked with two kinds of spiciness. Ab-so-lute-ly devine!!
Spicy, sweet, salty, soft and tropical. And you can choose to top it off with unsweetened shaved organic coconut. Don’t miss out on this one!

Of course, this special is available only on the Texas Farmers’ Market. Visit us on Saturdays at Lakeline Mall between 9am-1p or on Sunday at Mueller between 10am-2pm. And while you’re there, we have our gift packages back in stock. Cute traditional Dutch cookie tins, perfect gift for anyone you love!

Don’t like pineapple? No worries, until it’s not Texan Summer, we’ll also keep the toasted S’mores Stroopwafel on the menu. We use Murphy’s Mellows for this heavenly and entertaining creation. And before I knew them, I couldn’t imagine ever starting to like marshmallows, but now I love them!
Bring them a visit at the markers too and you can find their products here.

Peanut butter, Nutella&Strawberries, Salty Caramel and Lemon Zest are our other options. Come over, bring your friends, colleagues, loved ones, even your in-laws and indulge!! 🙂 🙂

Create your own favorite Stroopwafel!

The Stroopwafel Flavor contest is back!

Earlier this year we held a stroopwafel flavor contest and we’re ready to repeat this fun competition! Our dear Barbara won with her ‘Strawberry Dream’. Cream cheese from Mother Culture and delicious Engel Farm strawberries. Her flavor was a special for an entire month and obviously she got to taste the first one for free. Another real good option was the ‘Banana Pecan’ stroopwafel, with Yegua Creek Farm pecans. Also this one had the honor to be the special for an entire month.

Eat local
We pride ourselves in working with our local colleagues. The vendors at the Farmers’ Markets and Sustainable Food Centre have beautiful, hand crafted, honest, delicious products. We want to support them and show our love and respect to their dedicated time, love and hard work, by creating new options with them and displaying their products on our channels. The only rule in the flavor contest is to enter with a flavor created with at least one of their local made products.

Contest
Last edition, we had one winner. However, as it’s the holiday season, we want to make everyone happy, so we’ll have you vote for three winners! Suggestions can be entered until November 24h. The voting will be done by (y)our fans and determine which three flavors will be the specials in December, starting Saturday December 3rd.
We have three categories. Enter in one, two, or heck, all three categories!

• Sweet
  Let’s keep this a dessert. Make it something S’mores (yes, we even have marshmallow makers at the Lakeline market, with different flavors marshmallows), use fruits, sauces, jams, jellies, anything you feel would make the perfect dessert!
• Gourmet
  We have one rule here: It has to be with a Belle Vie Farm product. We’ve been secretly looking at their beautiful products for months now. The terrines, pates, eggs, it’s all too good. We’ve wanted to create a special for ages, now we leave it up to you to make one! Look at their website for inspiration or visit us at the Texas Farmers’ Markets.
• Carte Blanche
  This literally means carte blanche. Wanna add herbs to the dough itself? Other flavors to the syrup? Add things? Stack ‘m up? Anything is possible!

Rules

• At least one local vendor per flavor should be involved. However, other products can also be added, as long as they’re natural and without any chemicals. Also vendors from both SFC and TFM can get involved ;
• You may enter for one, two or all categories;
• Enter as many times as you like;
• You’re allowed to bribe your family and friends into voting for you;

Prices

• Each categorie will have 1 winner, who will receive the first special officially and for free;
• Every winner can name their Stroopwafel as they wish, give it your own name, your cat’s name, your inlaws’s…;
• Eternal fame and gratitude;
• In addition, each winner will receive a limited edition Stroopclub Coffee mug including a 10-pack Stroopclub Stroopwafels. The best way to enjoy stroopwafels! Wait, there’s more: A little special extra for the Gourmet Categorie, Belle Vie Farm will also deliver a little gift!

Just leave your suggestions either in the comments here at our website, at the social media posts or email them to eat@stroopclub.com. We’ll collect all ideas and will create and post the list of flavors again as a poll November 24th. Then… The voting begins!

Featured by….. Eater Austin!

Sometimes dreams really do come true. Such is the case for Chantal Piet and Tako Vermeulen, winners of the country’s Diversity Immigrant Visa and founders of The Stroop Club, a membership-based cookie club that’s as cheeky as it sounds. Thanks to a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, Austinites can now indulge in authentic stroopwafels without the flight to the Netherlands.
