The quintessential Amsterdam market experience! There is nothing better than strolling through Albert Cuyp Markt on a sunny day. It spans several city blocks and truly has something for everyone. Whether you are looking for fresh groceries (produce, fish, cheese), unique clothing, jewelry, or home goods, you'll find it here. It's also a great spot to pick up souvenirs that feel a bit more authentic than the shops in the city center. You absolutely have to stop at Rudi's Original Stroopwafels. For just 3€, you get one of the best, freshest stroopwafels in the city. Watching them make it right in front of you is half the fun!
Was recommended by a local to come here for cheaper stroopwafel and it was worth it! The one I went to was bigger portions and cheaper than the stores. Also went to this herring store which was amazing! Very good place to go. I browsed by so many fruit stands as well as jewelry , painting, clothing. Just overall a great place to shop at. They open at 11am so come then!
The Albert Cuyp Market was fantastic all on its own with fresh fruit, clothing, and so much jewelry...But I was mostly there for one reason...and that reason was to head to a make-your-own Stroopwaffel experience. The Stroopwafel experience was actually fantastic. Everyone had a cooking station, and we all went step by step, starting with the dough mixing and ending with the cooking of the waffles on the press, and then choosing from the various fillings. In the end, we left with several warm and tasty SWs. Ultimately, it was too much sweetness for the two of us, and we ended up sharing the rest out with friendly people we met at the market in other stalls.
This is a cool outdoor market! It's very long and there are so many different types of stalls here. There are quite a few food stalls but also produce, clothing, souvenirs, even rolls of fabric and wallpaper can be found here. There are also some stroopwafel places here too including the famous Rudi's. I've also seen a chicken stall, halal food, chocolate, you name it. It can get quite cold in February so bundle up if you're here!
A massive market filled with food, sweets, clothing, pottery, basically anything and everything. It's also in the most lovely area so after I walked through and saw all of the vendors, I grabbed a coffee and continued the stroll for a few more blocks. If you're visiting the city, it's a must I would say. On my stroll through I tried the infamous herring sandwich and the much less ominous stroopwafel. I also picked up my obligatory city magnet here and tried on a quilted jacket I decided against. It's not small by any means, and took up about 3 blocks, so it's worth the trip. Go for lunch or for a stroopwafel or just a stroll and some shopping.
A delightful market, we arrived pretty early on a drizzly March Thursday and it was just being set up/opening..we had some coffee, walked around and by noon the place was hoping! A mixture of socks, greatly priced souvenirs, scarves/jackets etc and food vendors. Blocks long, rustic..this is not a bougie happening. The large fish vendors had the most exquisite & diverse selection of all kinds of fish, seafood, shellfish etc..just gorgeous. The fresh produce was also amazing, little packages of gem lettuce that we do not easily get in the states. There were Fries, Stroopwafels, nuts, sweets...just about every thing you wish for in a street market. In the end, we decided on an outstanding Turkish "crepe/pancake/foldable sandwich) with spinach, cheese & potato, and it was just fabulous... Pick a day that you do not have other plans & spend an hour or two.. Great morning at De Albert Cuypmarkt !!
My friend, who lives in Amsterdam, said the best day to go to the Albert Cuyp Market is Saturday, so that's the day we went except it was a really rainy Saturday! She said what I saw there was pretty typical of their offerings, so I don't think the rain made too much of a difference except for a smaller crowd (which I appreciated). I wanted to try all the Dutch treats that are offered there and definitely wanted to start with something with some protein before embarking on the sweets, so I started with a pickled herring sandwich, went on to the stroopwafel, and ended with the poffertjes. Was hoping to try the bittenbollen, but my friend didn't like the way they looked and I was actually stuffed by then, so I skipped them! The herring sandwich was definitely my favorite of the three items. The poffertjes followed and the stroopwafel was last. The herring with the pickle and onions was delicious; very fresh and not fishy at all. The mixture of the herring, pickle, and onions just hit the right notes together. I had the sandwich and the bun provided a nice carrier for the mixture that also mellowed out the flavors. The poffertjes are mini pancakes that were very tender and light; much lighter than any pancakes I've ever had before. They came lying in melted butter with a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top. The stroopwafel was a bit of a disappointment for me. It was certainly hot off the grill, but it didn't seem to have too much flavor to it. I expected a more buttery caramel taste from the filling and it was a bit too sweet; probably not anything I would get again. The reason for 3 stars for the market is that while they had some foods that are typical Dutch treats, it was really more of a touristy market selling souvenirs and junky stuff that I really didn't need or want to peruse. The market doesn't have enough to bring my back again.
The De Albert Cuypmarkt in a nutshell: Dutch street eats, fresh fruits and veggies, and cheap souvenirs and clothes. The farmers market is open everyday except for Sunday and stretches over the entire lane over a block and closed to vehicular traffic. Probably the best place to find fresh Dutch snacks such as stroopwafels (waffle cookies), poffertjes (small fluffy pancakes) and raw herring. There were several stalls selling stroopwafels and poffertjes and at similar prices but the quality might differ depending on where you go. I jumped at the first stall selling what I thought were freshly made stroopwafels, but it ended up tasting rather old, in fact. Another stall down the way was definitely more busy and "known." For 3 euros though, it was a rather inexpensive snack therefore not too much to complain about. The poffertjes, on the other hand, were the best and my ultimate delight. The vendor we went to definitely was busy and really cranking these babies. He was really churning through his yeast based batter, pouring it into the individual circles in his special cast iron pan. As his method would indicate, these flat shaped puffy little pancakes were warm and a DELIGHT with the powdered sugar on top. Not a stall, but we also wandered into a shop on the lane preparing raw herring, another Dutch snack. For 3 euros, we were able to sample the lightly brined fish. It did not taste nearly as weird as it looked, but it is definitely an acquired taste. This market is a MUST when in Amsterdam. Everything is rather cheap, everyone is upbeat, and it is so low key and refreshing.
Extensive market, it goes on an on and on. And for a very large outdoor market, it's quite relaxed and not too hectic. There are some good fries and stoopwaffel places too. Good seafood stands with nice service and prices.
Another great farmers market! If you come here, make sure you come hungry because there's so much good food to try. Lots of variety, and definitely not a place you want to visit on a full stomach. Lol!!! The atmosphere is lively and fun, with lots of people walking around and checking out the different food stalls. Service was friendly, too. Definitely recommend stopping by and exploring all the food here! read more
I went to Albert Cuyp 3 times (!!!) in 8 days! Need I say more (lol)?? I really enjoyed my experience there. Interesting, some of the tents are different when I went the second and third time. Was it due to going there on a weekday versus a weekend? Not sure. I would say the first time I went, it took me about 2 hours, because I was really enjoying myself and checked almost every tent, plus waiting in line for some. read more

While we were visiting Amsterdam I was looking forward to visiting this market. Unfortunately due to the light rain forecasted for the day many vendors did not set up their booths so I was a little disappointed with that since the market was a bit sparse. Fortunately, most of the food booths I had wanted to try were open so based on this I rated the market a solid 4. read more

We LOVED this market! We were with our vegan friends who had an ample amount of options for them. It became a habit to come here every morning to grab coffee from the Turkish Coffee stall. A tip for this coffee, it helps to let your cup cool down and let the coffee grounds sink to the bottom. They did have different milks and flavors to add. The stroop waffle truck that's in the picture was AMAZING. One of the brothers who started the business looks like a Netherlands version of Benedict Cumberbatch. The sell their stroop waffles in packets which make for perfect gifts for anyone back home. The family we gifted the waffles too said the waffles traveled well/stayed fresh. There's a stall where you can try Dutch snack foods which was a great first set of foods to try on our trip. Dutch cheeses are honestly so yummy. Other stalls that aren't featured in this: the pizza stall! The man that works for the pizza stall is so kind and we chatted with him for awhile when he was making our pizzas (which btw are worth trying!). The meatballs we tried were from a stall that said "best chicken in Amsterdam!" or something along the lines of that... the two men running the stall were so goofy and friendly. The food itself from there was delicious. The strawberries from the market were the sweetest. We grabbed souvenirs and a suitcase from a few stalls featured around. Our favorite souvenir shop was the shop selling the tote bags, aprons, and magnetic tulips. We bought a piece of cloth from a fabric stall so that we'd have a blanket for lying down in a park. read more

I went to this market like three times in five days lol I am giving four out of five stars because one of the shops was a bit rude to me when I wasn't able to pay in cash. Most of the stands seem to accept card though. I agree with all the stuff people said about the food at the market. It is really good! Especially the poffertjes and dim sum stand. However, I want to highlight the lady who sells leggings and stockings at the end of the market by the metro station entrance. The first time I went to the market, I found her when she was already closing up shop. She told me to come back in two days when she returns. I came back two days later but I was delayed because the weather was so bad and I caught her closing up again! Unfortunately the kind of leggings I wanted were already packed up. She said most shops close early when the weather is bad. This time she said she would leave a pair to the side for me and to come back by 3 pm the next day. Finally the next day the weather was better and I got to the market early and was looking for her. When I got to the right spot she called me over. She had put leggings aside for me just in case and even made a recommendation on other pairs I might be able to wear. I was so happy to finally get them that I was like yayyy and she said yeaaaa! with me. She said she hopes to see me all the time. If I lived in Amsterdam I would always buy from her. She was very sweet :) read more
The outdoor market, with 260 stands, operates six days a week. It originated in 1905. I was mostly looking for some souvenirs, and was able to find some cute magnets at a good price. We also ordered a crepe at one of the stands. The stroopwafels that are freshly made seemed to be the most popular stand. There are several stroopwafels stands, so look for the one with the line. read more

From fresh fig (seen here) to "Amsterdam's best chicken", vegan options, trinkets and more, this is a must stop when visiting. Cultures melt and mold together here from all angles in an unforgettably peaceful marketplace attraction. read more
Great market in a hopping area of Amsterdam! This market has exploded into one of the top places to visit in Amsterdam. Nevertheless, still a great place for the residents to come for groceries. From your local fruit and veges to stroopwafels, poffertjes and more, they have something for everyone! Another insider tip if you have time, take a peak at the stores behind the tents too, there are some great restaurants hidden behind the day market! read more

This is one of the best markets I've been to in Europe. Tons of food ranging from traditional Dutch snacks to middle eastern food plus souvenirs and other shops. It was fun to walk through, I'd definitely recommend a stop by when in Amsterdam! read more

So many food options!!! It was a good experience. Pls check photos! My favorite was the grilled chicken sandwich with cheese topping. Love the taste of the chicken. Tasted like cajun or similar spices. It was beside a shop where the line was long (i guess this is bec they have more items on the menu) so we tried the one right beside. It was good too! read more
Great little market to buy souvenirs and have lunch. Closes early at 5:00 pm. Don't miss the delicious made- on- the- spot stroop waffles for a reasonable 3 euros. You'll find all sorts of traditional Dutch food ( eg herring sandwiches) as well as international options ( eg bao). Fresh fruit and veggies also available. This is the place for t shirts and other cute little souvenirs such as those adorable wooden tulips. read more

In A Nutshell: -The Albert Cuypmarkt is one of the most well known farmer's market's in Amsterdam. -It's one long, narrow market that consists of knick knack souvenirs, Dutch food, drinks, fruits, veggies & more. -If it's your first time, it's good to go slow & check out most of the stalls. -By the time to you get to the end of the market, you might be pretty full trying all the deliciousness. -Highlights are the Dutch Stroopwafels and Turkish Hot Sand Coffee. -You can get some really cheap magnets too. Overall, this was a nice farmer's market worth checking out. read more
I love de Albert Cuypmarkt! Lots of variety in the booths. Love the stroopwafels and street food vendors. You can find really affordable things along this street, both in the stores and on the street. A fun street of Amsterdam shopping! I prefer it much more over other big store or luxury store shopping streets in the city. read more

Food heaven! Lots of great street food options. The best carts had lines, but they move quickly. Great neighborhood area too. A must stop when in Amsterdam. read more
The heart of De Pijp is this street market that stretches for a good while with loads of shops selling fresh produce, meat, fish, prepared foods, fashion and odds and sods. This market has one of the best Stroopwaffels I have had in Amsterdam. Freshly made and using old recipes and served warm :-) Also plenty of prepared foods here and fresh juice stalls. Been here many times and will come again. read more
