The young LA based couple Jessanne and Farhad are food fanatics and love to travel. Farhad was raised in the Netherlands and in 2013 the couple went to visit Amsterdam. This is where Jessanne was introduced to two famous local sweets called Stroop Waffles (pronounced “Strope” Waffles, which are caramel Waffles). And Poffertjes (pronounced “pufferchess”), which are warm fluffy mini pancakes topped with butter and powdered sugar.

Surprisingly Stroop Waffles and Poffertjes are almost unknown in the US and hard to find (especially fresh made ones).

The couple decided that it was time to introduce the American people to these sweets starting with their hometown of LA, and the best way to do this is of course with a food trailer.

They have invested a lot of time and effort in learning the art of making Stroop Waffles and Poffertjes and put together an amazing menu, which you can check out at www.sweetamsterdam.com.

But before they can get the show on the road, they have to raise some money. They launched their Indiegogo project just a couple of days ago, you can check it out on tinyurl.com/llpglmu

Share and Support the project ESPECIALLY if you live in LA.
