Back in 2012 a client approached us with a request, she needed Rip van Wafels for koffietijd – a mid-morning coffee break enjoyed with a wafel for her New York City office.

This was very similar to 2006, when Amsterdam native Rip Pruisken arrives at Brown University. Rip heads to the dining hall for koffietijd. Finding decent coffee but no wafel, Rip is horrified to learn that most of America is without his favorite snack.

Over the years, Rip was able to make sure that everyone in America has premium Amsterdam Wafels for a proper koffietijd; and now Corporate Esesntials is ready to make sure that your NYC, NJ and Brooklyn offices have his Rip van Wafels for koffietijd as well.

Rip van Wafels are now available from Corporate Essentials in two varieties:

Traditional Amsterdam Wafels (16/box) – only 150 calories each (8g of sugar)

Cocoa Filled Amsterdam Wafels (16/box) – only 150 calories each (2g of protein)

Rip van Wafels are about more than a great mid-morning accompaniment to your coffee. At Corporate Essentials, we believe in the power of experiencing the Rip van Wafel Ritual (see illustration below), as it allows you to stop, reflect and be present. While you’re waiting for your drink to cool down, heat your wafel on it – and enjoy a mindful break.
