I ventured all the way from Noord Ams just to try these caneles. (I had a hankering for them since…read moreI tried them for the first time, months ago, elsewhere.) I bought one canele and a large chocolate macaron. I ate the canele outside the store and it was delicious! I love the slight crisp on the outside, sort of chewy, and the soft, moist spongy interior. I went back in and bought 4 more! I also really enjoyed the macaron. It was soft and chewy inside, very sweet. I have never seen such a large macaron! The service was quick and friendly. They were many employees working together. I had previously found them on Facebook and reached out via messenger to make sure they actually had caneles before making my 45 minute journey. They responded that they did and that large orders could be placed on their website. The site has other offerings as well.

I had a few minutes to dive in, salivate over the shiny sweet treats and spot my hamkaas croissant to go. They were very pleasant and friendly staff and heated my little breakfast in their big professional oven for me very quickly and it seemed quite grand when they pulled it out after heating. The ham cheese croissant was perfect. Quite big but not too big, a good balance of ham and cheese but not too greasy to eat on-the-go and I'm now feeling satisfied and ready for my day! I might just have to pop in on the way home to try some Dutch Passen treats....cultural orientation and all that.....hmmm but which one?!

Mmmm. Great place to stop for a snack or breakfast treat on the way to the office. I stopped in for…read morea quick snack and walked out with 7 different items (to share of course) because everything looked so good. The carrot cake was delish as was the mini apple tart. The savory items are also quite satisfying and filling. The staff is super friendly. Credit cards require a 10E minimum purchase.

I love how there are no extra preservatives, artificial preservatives or unhealthy bread that last an extensive time period on the shelf. You will find nothing but good wholesome bread and pastry that your parents or grandparents use to make back in the day. They sell nothing but quality in here. The customer service is excellent. So make sure to be very kind and pleasant to the employees, because they are simply wonderful. The prices are very reasonable and they always have some extra sweets worth dabbling in if you have a sweet tooth.

Great bread, great cocoa, great staff, great everything!…read more This was stop #1 in our "Hungry Birds" Food Tour (which you should absolutely check out at http://www.yelp.com/biz/hungry-birds-amsterdam). We had an assortment of traditional Dutch breakfast items (hot cocoa, bread, cheese, cookies, etc.) in the dining room, where we were told about the cool history of Hartog's. We then moved on to the bakery where we bought a loaf of whole wheat for a couple of dollars that we devoured in less than 2 days. We loved that this place took us slightly away from the touristy areas. Highly recommended if you want to see a more side of the City.

Yall! This place is so good!…read more I would highly recommend the almond cross and, chocolate croissant, and veggie pizza. Honestly those are the only 3 things I tried but I loved them. The first time I went I had the sweetest lady helping me put. The second time I went the man helping was in the worst mood. I hope his day got better. It's extremely busy and can be a little hard to place and order if you're not quick enough. I would recommend getting your order and taking it elsewhere to enjoy.

For me, they were some kind of strange thin crispy cracker with a layer of caramel. Nothing great. So when I saw this "freshly made" stroopwaffle store I had to stop in and see if I was really missing something. Yes, yes I was. These are downright delicious. They make them on the spot and you get it warm with the center slightly gooey. It's nothing short of amazing. I ate mine and most of another one my friend didn't want to finish (not that she didn't love it - she's trying to stay away from sugar). It's a good thing I don't live in Amsterdam as I would want to stop here all the time. I apologized to my Dutch friend and shared that I was a convert. He heartily agrees fresh made are best. If you're near, go get one... or two!

Service was very quick considering it's fresh! The stroopwafel was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle, with warm, gooey caramel that paired so well with the fresh strawberries. The combination was simple but the quality of the ingredients are top notch.

This review is going to be roughly the same as a review I wrote for another BBROOD…read more BBROOD ("brood", pronounced "brode", meaning "bread" in Dutch) is a chain of bakeries advertising that they only use sourdough in their breads which is great because this makes the use of raising agents redundant. In a review of Vlaamsch Broodhuys I stated: "... [sourdough bread is] the only "safe" bread i.e. there are no raising agents used in the process of making this bread. (raising agents prohibit the intake of most minerals because they form a membrane around them in your body and you flush them out of your system without absorbing them)". One of the minor symptoms of frequent consumption of regular bread is therefore fatigue. Moving on; Although the sourdough bread at Vlaamsch Broodhuys has a more authentic recipe, some of the sourdough breads at BBROOD taste much better and also considerably less sour (and thus appealing to more people perhaps). I particularly like "Spelt". A whole loaf costs €4 but in all fairness, it's roughly the same size of half a loaf of sourdough bread from Vlaamsch Broodhuys. I highly recommend you try the spelt bread! I'm hopelessly addicted to it and can even eat it without any toppings! It's that flavorful! Of course they also have croissants, cookies, tarts and more.

Winkel 43 is a legendary stop right on the corner of Westerstraat and Noordermarkt in the Jordaan,…read moreperfectly situated along the Prinsengracht canals and just a short walk from the Anne Frank House. While it functions as a cozy, traditional Dutch brown café, virtually everyone comes here for one main reason: the famous Dutch apple pie (*appeltaart*). It completely lives up to the reputation. Served warm with a massive dollop of fresh whipped cream, it's thick, perfectly spiced, and has an almost cake-like crust that sets it apart. Pairing a slice with a fresh mint tea is pretty much mandatory. Because of its status and location, it's almost always buzzing with people--especially on market days--but the staff manages the perpetual queue remarkably fast. Snagging a table on the outdoor terrace for some people-watching along the canal is hard to beat. Whether you're taking visitors around the neighborhood or just out exploring the Jordaan.

There was a long line and a pretty long wait when we went. The place was fully packed, with both…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. I'd say about 95% of the people were ordering the apple pie, so of course we had to get one to see what the hype was about. The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.
