I…read morewon't go into the details but in short there was a mistake made at the patisserie and the length the owner went to correct it was very admirable and UNHEARD of in Amsterdam. Good customer service is a commodity in this town so I had to look into this place... As a result of the mistake and the story of it's correction, I'd consider myself now to be a Tout regular. I buy the macaroons as gifts for people, I use them to impress my bosses and let's be honest, I cheekily gift them to myself as well. :) I also took part in the macaroon workshop which was great! My only complaint here was that we weren't able to do everything ourselves but due to the nature of macaroons, it would need to be a pretty long workshop (try 3 days!). The price of the workshop might seem steep (I think 60 euros) but I came out of there with almost 2 full boxes of mini macaroons so it's totally worth it if you ask me - not to mention the afternoon of educational fun and the owner is his own brand of eye-candy... :P

They were very sweet, so one bite was enough for me, but they were hard to resist because they were so pretty. Great flavor as well! The crust was perfect Cost: Each tart was 4.5€ or about $5.20 USD. It is a higher end bakery where you pay for the look as much as the taste. Overall: We stumbled on this spot after a full breakfast and still could not help ourselves. It was worth it and I want to try more.

Maybe some ice cream perhaps? Sea salt caramel? Hmm. Blood orange macarons? They have it all!! They were the perfect little treats. Macarons were crispy, chewy and fragrant. And almost too pretty to eat. In the mists of all things green related ( hash brownies, cookies and so on), this was a perfect oasis. Centrum itself is filled with many shops, eateries and cafes. This place definitely had my attention. It was their bright decor! And tasty, pretty little perfections known as macarons. With a Dutch twist of course! Talk about many happy nibbles!!

I already have a favorite macaron place in the city, but this one was close by to where I was heading, so I popped in to get some treats for coworkers. On the plus side, those people that got the macarons had not tried any before, so they didn't know any different! I want to be clear, they are fine macarons. But not great and I don't feel they are worth the 1.50 a piece. But hey, for a sweet treat and nice service, be sure to pop in to the downtown store.

I was waiting for brunch one day when I stumbled upon this cute little bakery on yelp. It was located on a quiet street and was empty both when we went in and when we left. This left me feeling a bit uneasy and definitely caused me to reconsider whether or not I wanted to leave with anything or hit them with the "oh I was just looking thank you" and walk out but I ended up decided to get a box of 5 macarons. Their flavors are very interesting and I'm not so much a fan of fruity flavors but they have a lot of innovative fruity flavored macarons. I ended up leaving with pistachio and caramel and vanilla flavored macarons but each one of them were so so so delicious and I wish I got more! SO GOOD BEST BEST MACARONS EVER!

Break the 'egg', mix the filling with the chocolate pieces and you have yourself a dessert that will make you fly to nirvana right away. This choco surprise is just one of the many unique creations of patissier Richenel's. Another showpiece is the snicker pie. Even the most spoilt kid will kiss your feet when you give this huge chocolate-peanut bar extraordinaire. The creator of all this sweetness not only is a genius, he is a health guru too. Richenel Doekhi, the former pastry chef of De Kersentuin, is determined to prove that less sugar certainly not means less taste. To intensify the taste of his pastries and cookies - love the bokkenpoten - he only works with pure ingredients. An excellent example is his apple macaroon, a sweet-sour mini apple pie with cinnamon cream and dried muscadet grapes. A bargain at 1.25 euro each.

The place is really nice, clean and so bright, and it was full of happy kids with their families. As Italian, what I immediately noticed was the perfect queue: if you enter in a traditional Italian gelateria, everyone is in front of the servery (or whatever it is called) choosing and looking at the gelato varieties. Instead, reading the flavour and picking them from that distance for me is difficult :). Anyway, I tried pistachio and lemon, but nothing special for what I'm used to. I personally don't like when you, as a customer, could not taste a sample in a gelateria of what you'll pay for. That said, I don't mean that someone has to taste everything... Lastly, doesn't really matter the size of the cups or the ice-cream cone, because the gelato balls are similar and small for a final gelato not even so generous.. I'll give 3 stars, because I am.

The staff is friendly and they have a good selection of ice cream flavors, all of which look delicious. I tried their vanilla (a little custard-y instead of vanilla bean-y, but not totally like the grocery store cheap stuff) and citron (a little intense but also not too much) on a nice old-fashioned cone, and I'm sure they will be packed once it starts being warm outside. My husband prefers their vanilla and stracciatella ice cream over all others because they use real vanilla beans instead of vanilla extract. It's not the best ice cream I've ever had, but it is pretty good. And they have tables and chairs and lots of room inside, so it will be a great place to hide out from the sun in the summer.

Twenty minutes later…read morewe left with 12 bars of chocolate (no judgment: SOME were for gifts), each wrapped beautifully, and offering a unique flavor or combination of flavors. The store portion has a large table with samples of nearly all of the bars. We sampled almost all of them -- what, we should just guess what they taste like?! (Usability note: the glass bottles that house the samples are not ideal; the opening is small and you can easily imagine a number of hands and fingers touching the spot where the samples come out.) In the back of the shop is, from what we could tell, their main factory, and they were busy churning out chocolates. Plus, near the register, there are chocolates by the pound. Yes, we got one of those as well. As we explored other shops in the city, we saw other chocolates and realized that Urban Cacao does white label production for many of them. Some of those stores had lower prices (and different options) than at the main shop we visited, but the selection and variety of flavors makes this a must-visit location.
