Meet the Dutchman bringing Netherlands Stroopwafels to the streets of Edinburgh

If you've ever been to the Netherlands you'll know exactly what a huge deal Caramel Waffles are, with the sweet treat considered a must-try for anyone visiting the country.

When Timothy Schelhaas, 26, moved to Edinburgh last year, he quickly found himself missing what he says was his favourite comfort food from a young age. Deciding to do something about it, the young foodie set out to bring the Dutch must-try, freshly-baked Stroopwafels, to the streets of the capital.

"I am originally from Scheveningen, a seaside city district of The Hague, and after moving to Edinburgh last year, I noticed a distinct absence of Dutch representation in the Scottish Capital City’s diverse food scene," Timothy explained. "It wasn’t long until I came up with the idea to introduce freshly-baked Stroopwafels — also known as Caramel Waffles — to the city I had come to call my home."
