A new bakery has introduced Glasgow to 'a true Dutch staple' after joining a local street food hub this month. Wholly Waffles debuted at the city's Dockyard Social in Finnieston last weekend, with founder Timothy Schelhaas delighted to share a selection of sweet Stroopwafels with his first customers. A Dutchman himself, Schelhaas was inspired to launch the business after moving to Edinburgh in 2022.

"Our waffles couldn’t be more different from store-bought ones. “We make all our waffles fresh to order, using a traditional Dutch recipe.

When he returned to Scotland , he is said to have "imported the finest equipment and adapted the recipe to British produce". Wholly Waffles then started trading at events, festivals and pop-up kitchens for a year before settling in a permanent location.
At his new outlet in Glasgow, these thin, crispy waffles are sliced in half and then coated with a range of sweet fillings including Lotus Biscuit or a more traditional caramel that has been gently spiced with cinnamon. Pictured: Freshly baked waffles are filled w.
