    Dutch apple pancake
    Daryl S.

    Are there probably better and more local places? Sure. But Pancakes Amsterdam made dining out with food allergies and a baby so easy. The staff was friendly, the place had enough room for a stroller, and they had a separate gluten free menu. After a long day of travel,I needed some veggies in my pancake, of course. I got a gluten free vegetable one with pesto and my husband got a dutch apple pancake. These things are thin, but massive. Thanks for the warm meal and kind staff!

    Lots of gluten-free options! The pancake was really good and large enough to share if you're just looking for a quick snack. Definitely a spot worth checking out in Amsterdam, especially if you're gluten-free. Our waitress was so nice and even double-checked to make sure the pancake I chose was gluten-free.

    Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Portion to Price: 3/5 Overall: A good experience to have a pancake in Amsterdam but I didn't leave too full. The extended review... Food: Apple and Bacon Pancake - 3/5 - A good combo and pretty standard fare taste wise. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3/5 - A quaint ambiance with nicely spread out seating. Portion to Price: 3/5 - Could have used a little more portion.

    We were so pleasantly surprised by this place! Our server was very nice and helpful, and we tried a little bit of sweet and savory pancakes. They were all delicious!! We sat outside on the patio, but there was also a good bit of seating inside as well. The only con was the service was on the slower side. But the pancakes were great, would recommend!

    Being outside Central station this business may be targeted at tourists; however, my wife considers her breakfast this morning one of the best meals she has ever enjoyed! She ordered the Dutch pancake with egg and bacon. Service was quick and friendly, and you pay a premium for the location but she couldn't be ha

    Stopped in again while visiting Amsterdam and this time wanted something savoury. I had the Salmon - Spinach - Pesto omelette and it was amazing. Service was very quick!

    Established in 2007 Pancakes Amsterdam is a polarizing entity, the second location in front of Damrak favored by tourists but the original in the Nine Streets generally well-liked by locals even though prices trend a bit higher than more traditional places. Open from 08h00 to 20h00, early arrival or reservations advisable lest one wishes to wait, Pancakes' menu comprises Dutch or American style with a variety of toppings including favorites designated by a heart. Surrounded by iconic scenery, outdoor seats in the shade a hot commodity, Coffee is basic but good with a packaged Stroopwafel while Pancakes are light and fluffy, perfectly wrapping around plentiful toppings, and available both Vegan or Gluten Free for those with allergies.

    Yummy pancakes. My husband was blow away by his savory ham pancake and I enjoyed mine with apple and cinnamon crumble although it was quite sweet. The portions were large, food was fresh, staff were friendly, and menu had lots of options. We went on a weekday morning and it was busy with a short wait.

    There is a whole lot of "yum" here.

    We arrived early by ship to the port in Amsterdam and once we deboarded we walked around the city for a while KNOWING that we would go to PANCAKES Amsterdam for lunch. We've been here before and would not pass up the opportunity. We made our way back after exploring Amsterdam around 1:30 for lunch. There was a small line and that is no surprise... There is always aline here. Their stuff here is just that good and everyone knows about this place. It also doesn't hurt that it's outside with a great view. Overall, this place is one giant treat. My wife always gets the same thing... Pancake with whipped cream and chocolate. If you look hard you can actually see the pancake. I usally go wit the pancake with goat cheese and ham. These are amazing. The team is fabulous. This shop has no down time and their either taking an order or delivering an order. They do it with a smile and it just adds to the whole overall experience. I tip like I'm in New York which they really appreciate. That usually doesn't happen here. Somebody said in their review; "You will never go back to the traditional American pancakes drenched in sugar syrup ever again." Well said! I can't recommend Pancakes Amsterdam enough for your breakfast, lunch or dinner. KUDOs to the team at PANCAKES Amsterdam

    I had never had a Dutch pancake before, so I was excited to get the authentic experience in Amsterdam. I opted for a savory pancake with goat cheese, spinach, and garlic. I added bacon to it for an extra cost. I was very pleased with my meal. Although the pancakes looked large, they were thin enough for me to eat the whole thing without being overly full (which I am thankful for because it was soooo good). My husband got the cheese and apple pancake, the cheese was a little overpowering but he liked it. He ordered a hot cup of tea, and they had a covering over it to warm up a mini stroopwafel, which we thought was a nice touch!

    Absolutely a delight. We loved this place. We tried the savory Dutch Pancakes instead of the traditional sweet options. They were full of flavor and filling. The coffee was excellent too. Wished they had these available back home. Service was great and friendly. Ambiance was cozy.

    Gluten free Dutch pancake #18 - Egg, spinach, cheese
    Carly C.

    I'm gluten free and ate breakfast here 3x over a 3-night stay in Amsterdam. That's how special this spot is. The line was always intimidating but moved quickly. The spinach/cheese/fried egg (#18 on the menu at the time) was my favorite, however TWO fried eggs should be the default. My boyfriend says adding bacon is the correct move. The tuna melt pancake was good, but IMO the jalapeños came on too strong. I wish they would've been chopped more finely. Between the pulled bbq chicken, the spinach/cheese/egg, & the American pancakes, the BF liked the chicken dish the most. The American ones are smaller than what you find in the US. The Dutch pancakes are perfectly thin, allowing the toppings to share center stage. The 'fresh tea specials' don't have actual teabags--they're more like infused hot water. But they do allow you to take drinks to-go, just with no lids on the cups. I chose savory pancakes every time(GF Dutch) for the practicality, but will be trying the sweet next time I'm in town!

    This was a convenient go to for my trip to Amsterdam and I went twice. It's right by the train station. It is pretty small and you have to wait outside for the line (even if it's raining). The service was quick and efficient and I enjoyed the pancakes I got. They don't have free water though...you have to buy a bottle.

When we arrived and hiked upstairs, yes it's a hike straight up steep stairs, only to see the sign "fully booked" womp womp. HOWEVER, we asked if there was a waiting list because we didn't realize reservations are basically necessary. WE GOT LUCKY as a table was available because someone didn't show for their reservations!! We ordered the special of the day, blueberry & cream, and a bacon, cheese and apple pancake. Quickly cooked up and served and boy were they both delicious! I also didn't know it was a cash only establishment or debit card. Whom I presume was the owner was so sweet and again luckily our US credit card could be processed as debit. Saved me from having to do dish duty! Definitely a must do in Amsterdam but make a reservation and carry cash! Also to note, they only have 4 tables and if you're more than 5 minutes late for your reservation they may have given away your table!

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

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.

The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.
