    A variety of products, I suppose, such as rondos and other pastries, frozen kroketten and bitterballen, ketjap and other indonesian products (I know I where I might get some of the Indonesian stuff), etc. When I lived in LA, there were two Dutch stores but none in NYC when I lived there. Knowing Chicago has a decent sized Dutch population, I thought I might get lucky and find a store here.

    HI,

    I recently found Dutch Caramel cooke waffles aka stroopwafels at Costco.

    Regards,

    Thanks for the tip, Cathy2. My kids love those stroopie cookies. My parents found some in South Haven this summer and they are just delicious. I've been trying to find them ever since. I'll look at my local Costco (Orland Park) for some next week.

    You might have some luck in Andersonville, even though traditionally Swedish, I've seen some Dutch products at Wikstrom's. Other than that I make semi-frequent trips to West Michigan so I usually just wait until I go there.

    Trader Joe's also sells stroopwafels.

    I have seen some Dutch products, including stroopwafels, at Cost Plus World Market stores.
    I usually shop at the one in Evanston, next to the movie theatre.

    My initial reaction was that you should try Trader Joe's, Cost Plus World Market, and in the suburbs and Wisconsin, Woodman's. Also, Meijer is stocking a larger selection of international foods.

    Any luck?

    That's a great idea since Meijer is headquartered out of a prominently Dutch area of western Michigan and I know they carry a lot of Dutch products in their Michigan stores.

    Thanks all. No real look as I was hoping to find a "one stop shopping" place that had various types of Dutch food. So I went to Amsterdam for the weekend and got my fix.

    Oh well; I think Holland, MI is closest. Thanks again.

    Wikstrom's reopened? When? Last time I was in Andersonville, just a couple of months ago, there was still nothing there. Please advise!!
