We went looking for a Pancake House in Haarlem first but with no luck. Then we took off heading to the shore and as we were driving we found this lovely place! There's plenty of parking available. We found a place to sit on the terrace. It took some time til someone came to take our order. We then got the bread as appetizer cos we were so hungry and a couple of pancakes. Good thing we got the bread. The staff was friendly but they were understaffed and we had to wait quite a bit. The food was good. Huge pancakes. Very filling. I would come back any day.

I can imagine sitting outdoors in the summer time here would be beautiful. I got the carrot cake and hot chocolate with whipped cream to warm up. As with all the hot chocolate in this country, it was pretty tasty. The whipped cream comes on the site and was delectable. The carrot cake was also quite good; a little tough but had a nice citrus glaze on it. Far better than the overly-sweet cream cheese icing you often get. My friend had a traditional Dutch pancake and said it was very good, although I didn't try it (not a fan, myself, I've found). The seating is slightly awkward inside and the service was rather slow for being fairly empty. The waitress was very sweet though. I would come back here in the summer time to get outdoor seating and enjoy a cold drink, definitely a quaint spot on the canal with decent snack and desert food.

There is a great playground outside with quaint Anton Pieck inspired buildings, and the decorations inside are amazing. You can even book a moving table. It can be a bit scary for little kids because of the theme and the witches all over the place. The Dutch pancakes are different from those of most other countries, they are big and flat, and can be either savory or sweet. At Hans & Grietje they're tasty, there is a special children's pancake with some candy and a little treat and for those with an allergy or intolerance they'll bake special ones. We love to come here with the grandkids.

That said . . . the food is delicious (from my last visit), and it's such a cute, unique little spot.

Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance . . . just skip it if you have a nut allergy!

The place has an incredible personality starting with the super narrow stairs you have to climb to get there. Gives you a feeling of a quirky fun atmosphere with teapots hanging from the ceiling. I suggest you order a savory and a sweet pancake so you can compare. We pick "The King" for sweet, with strawberries, powder sugar and whipped cream and the bacon, cheese and sugared ginger for savory. Both were really good but my fav definitely was the sweet one. The portion per pancake is enough for one person and they are also perfect for share if you order two or three. There are other pancake places but this one felt authentic!

We were there the day after Kings day and it was a lovely morning. The weather was cool, but not cold and we were able to enjoy the nice breeze and canal boats passing by. I was also able to connect to the WiFi from the Casino across the river. It was weak, but still worked. We were seated outside and waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came by to take our order for food and drinks. We ordered the banana crepe to share and I got a coffee while my wife ordered the pear juice. The pair juice comes from a bottle. The coffee was served in a small cup and was ok. I am used to drinking it with cream and sweetener. But Europeans don't have these items, so I just drank it with sugar. I think we waited almost 30 minutes before our food came out. Now, we only ordered crepes with bananas inside. Usually at the mall, it takes a few minutes to make crepes. I don't know how it took almost 30 minutes for them to make 1 item. Mind you, the place was not full when we came, so I don't understand how long we had to wait for our server to order our food and why it took so long for them to make our food. Once it finally came out, I thought the crepe was good, but not out of your mind fantastic. It's just basic tbh. Will I ever come back, probably not due to the wait time and the food wasn't all that great.

Lekker. Decent. Good. A bit noisy, but that's to be expected in a children-oriented restaurant…read more As far as the pannenkoeken go, they had a wonderful selection of sweet and hearty ingredients, and my husband choose the salmon version. He enjoyed the combination of baked salmon, greens and a béchamel sauce. I tried the vegetarian goat cheese and walnut with rucola, which was very good; although how you could mess up those ingredients is beyond my comprehensive capabilities. It all comes down to the actual pannekoek: the fat crêpe, which the Dutchies formed into their own version. It is the same size as the French one, but much fatter and made without baking soda as in the American pancakes, because it is colder in the Netherlands (and less interesting on a culinary create-your-own-food level). The pannekoek itself was fine, not over- or under-cooked, and a good tasting flour mix. There was ample free parking after you wind your way through a subdivision. Outside a wonderfully large play area for kids to enjoy themselves in the summer months. Recommend this restaurant to drive a bit out of your way.
