    THIS amazing place!
    Kerrie D.

    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 !!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    Fun market to go shopping and try Dutch food and snacks. It's a long street with food stands and shopping for clothes, souvenirs, flowers, cheeses and more. Most stands have tap to pay options

    Loved checking out this farmer's market on a dreary Saturday a couple weekends ago in Amsterdam!…read more Located in the Jordaan neighborhood, this market has a history of being located in this public square since 1623, when it was renamed after the newly built Noorderkerk, a church which still stands today. Its prior name was Prisenmarkt (named after Prinsengracht (Prince canal)). The earliest version of the market sold everything from pottery, textiles, household items, second-hand goods and pigeons. There's a detailed accounting of this market's history on their website. The current iteration of the market consists of 1) a farmer's market with many local and artisanal producers of farm produce, meats and dairy, baked goods, etc. and 2) a "general goods" market which consists of stands selling housewares, art, vintage clothing and accessories, antiques, textiles and household furnishings, and more. The former is held on Saturdays 9-4pm, the latter on Saturdays same time as the farmers market and Mondays 9-2pm. From where I was walking around, it looked like about three dozen vendors with stands of varied sizes gathered here to sell on a Saturday morning. I also arrived around 9:30am, so there were still vendors setting up too. What a bustling atmosphere and certainly lots of locals doing some weekend food shopping--saw plenty of veggies, fruit, bread, placed directly in bicycle crates (on the front or back of this popular transportation method Amsterdam is well-known for) and biked away. So many yummy looking items! It made me wish I had a kitchen there so I could buy and prepare food from this market.

    What a great market!…read more I usually go to the Albert Cuyp for normal shopping, as it is closer to my house, and bigger. But last Saturday, when I ended up there rather by coincidence, I remembered why I passed by there almost every week back when I used to live in Oud Zuid. Thus, I have decided to do my best to visit next week again. The market is small, but very 'gezellig'. It's quite cute actually. It has a lot of different things - flowers, burgers, wine, meats, vegetables, cheese. I also got a homemade spicy sun-dried tomato mayonnaise. It was a bit pricey at 6,95 euros, but it is amazing! Perfect also for summer dishes, I paired it with cod cheeks on little gem salad and onion-parsley-tomato salsa. Delicious! But indeed, the price is a little shocking, especially if 3 stalls further you can buy a bottle of rose for the same price (even a bit less, actually). Also, my friend and I got a burger and enjoyed it in the sun; I recommend :) There is not a lot of place to sit, but if you can snag a spot at the shared tables, it is really great. Anyways - loving it - and I will be back for sure.
