The only downside I can think of for this place is that everybody knows that it is such a good place and that sometimes you will have to wait quite a bit before you can start enjoying that great ice cream :) I really like the Italian touch of paying first for a ticket at the cashier and then actually only give this ticket to the person making your ice cream. Saw this a lot in Italy and it is more hygienic this way.

This all little ice cream shop looks like any other gelato place from the outside and came at a time I was trying to squeeze a little in before getting my bags and heading to the train station. Upon entering you are greeted with the typical cabinet of flavours and I my two choices were Stracciatella and Smurf, yes Smurf. Now, when you order Smurf from this place the lights dim a little bit, music starts playing, the Smurf's appear on the TV, and bubbles start falling form the season and all of that is just plain magical. Did I immediately start laughing? Yeah I did, because I was confused and it brought me so much joy. Back to the actual gelato, and guess what, it was in fact good! The gelato was creamy, rich, and had great flavour. Overall, Jan Pieter Ijsje was a great little place to stop and grab some gelato. I might not remember everything I ate and did when I was in Amsterdam in a decade or so, but I can assure you I will never forgot what happened when I ordered the Smurf ice cream.

I was in Haarlem for Haarlem Jazz this summer (HIGHLY recommended free event, BTW) and we took an…read moreice cream break. A friend living in Haarlem took us to Wessels's Ijs just around the corner from the V&D and I had THE MOST AMAZING ICE CREAM OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. And then I spent two months trying to remember where it was and what it was called so I could write this review. Why didn't I just ask my friend? Good question. Anyways, I was in Haarlem last week and passed it by chance and made sure to make a mental note this time. So here you have it. The ice cream to beat all ice creams. I was going to order some delicious flavor which has long since been forgotten (the guy working there let us sample, yay) and then he said, "why don't you try this one Kelsey, it's really good, I think you'll like it." Two words: LEMON CHEESECAKE. Okay and another one: OMG. It was really amazing. As I said this ice cream experience was two months ago and I still think about it on a daily basis. Sadly the shop was closed when we went by this time so I'm not sure if they open at all in the winter. If not I will pine for it until the spring/summer. Big sigh. Yum yum yum.

Maybe Yelp gave us the wrong location, but so did Apple Maps. I believe this place closed down around 2 years ago considering that was the last review.

​Stumbled upon this gem by complete coincidence while walking to get our dinner. We saw a line out…read morethe door, and while I was having my dinner, I checked the website to find that they have vegan options, including three of my favorite flavors: dark chocolate, pistachio, and hazelnut. So, despite being super full, we went to get some vegan gelato. ​Even though only one girl was there helping everybody, she did not rush. She took care of each guest and gave them a lot of attention, which was really nice. Unfortunately, the vegan pistachio gelato was sold out, so I tried the hazelnut and chocolate, and oh my goodness, they were incredible. That hazelnut vegan gelato was, I think, one of the best I've ever had. It comes with a little bit of a vegan waffle cone, and it was just absolute perfection. It was so, so good. ​I left one very happy, yet stuff gal. CC accepted

THE BEST GELATO I EVER HAD…read more Staying in Amsterdam a couple weeks from LA so needed to have some ice cream. Dutch soft serve is elite but I noticed gelato so why not. The Hazelnut tastes like the finest nuts were blended right in front of you. There were CHUNKS of it throughout. Off to an amazing start. The highlight was the Ricotta & Fig. These flavor combos are elite and the Fig ribbon tasted so natural. Not artificial. And the waffle cone was FREE! Insane! America would never. Must try if you're in the city.

Monte Pelmo has earned its reputation as one of Amsterdam's best gelato stops, and for good reason…read more-- but it helps to know what you're getting. The balls (scoops) are smaller than you might expect, so don't hesitate to order three or even four. They stack neatly into the cones and feel more like a proper tasting flight than over‑indulgence. I tried three flavors, and the experience was a mix of hits and misses: Chocolate Brownie -- the disappointment of the bunch. A little gritty, surprisingly flat, and missing the rich chocolate depth or the decadent brownie texture you'd expect from the name. Not bad, just not memorable. Oreo -- also a disappointment, but paradoxically the clear winner. It doesn't taste like Oreo at all -- no distinct cookie flavor, no crunch -- but the chocolate‑vanilla blend itself is genuinely delicious. Order it not because it's "Oreo," but because it's simply a good flavor. Vanilla -- the standout. Basic vanilla is easy to get wrong, often veering into synthetic or overly sweet territory. This one doesn't. It's rich, natural, and clean, the kind of vanilla that reminds you why the classic exists in the first place. Monte Pelmo remains a Jordaan staple for a reason: even when a flavor misses the mark, the overall quality, texture, and experience stay strong. Grab a cone, don't be shy about multiple balls, and enjoy one of the neighborhood's most reliable treats.
