A coffee break does not need much on the table. A stroopwafel beside your cup or a small slice of almond pastry is plenty when you want something sweet. If friends are coming over, choosing one or two treats keeps the preparation easy and gives you time to sit down with them.
Stroopwafels for an easy addition
Stroopwafels are a familiar Dutch sweet: thin waffles with a syrup filling. They are easy to put on a small plate, and you can offer one with tea as readily as coffee. Keep them in their packaging until you are ready to serve and follow the storage instructions afterwards.
Our catalogue includes individual stroopwafels and a box option. Check which packs are available before ordering. An individual portion lets you try one; a box may be useful if you already know they will disappear quickly.
Almond pastry to slice and share
An almond bar is a good choice when you would rather cut slices for the table. Put it on a board or plate and cut only what you need at first. Smaller slices make it easier for guests to try a piece without committing to a large serving.
Look at the amandelspijs almond bar in our bakery selection. If you enjoy spiced flavours, you can also check whether the speculaas almond bar is available. Keep any product packaging nearby when serving guests so the ingredients are easy to check.
Boterkoek for another kind of sweet bite
If you prefer a cake-style treat, browse the boterkoek options. Serve modest pieces first, then let people help themselves to more. A simple plate is enough; there is no need to add cream or a second dessert unless that is what you feel like eating.
For a small gathering, choose treats with different textures. A waffle beside a slice of pastry gives people a choice without filling the whole table. You can keep the drinks simple too, with coffee, tea or whatever your guests normally enjoy.
Order with your next deli shop
Before adding something sweet to your basket, check the pack size and the product description. Think about when you plan to serve it and follow the storage guidance when it arrives. For a gift or a visit on a particular day, ask the shop about availability and delivery arrangements first.
