The business began with Kees Huysmans making the waffles – two thin layers of baked dough with soft and chewy toffee between them– by hand in a local market, and since then it has grown its reach to be available to purchase around the world from independent andmultiple retailers as well as coffee shops and on British Airways flights. As the UK’s only stroop waffle bakery, TregroesWaffles bakes a range of products which are renowned acrossWales and beyond – from the classic cinnamon-centred Caramel andMilk or Dark chocolate-coated variants to Savoury, Rustic or Mature Cheddar, each product offers a delicious blend of Welsh skills and Dutch culinary heritage. In 2015 the business became employee-owned, and the team is committed to staying true to simple, traditional recipes made usingWelsh ingredients when possible while constantly innovating to delight waffle lovers. tregroeswaffles.co.uk
