So most of the times if I can, I'd say something if there's something wrong hoping the business…read morewould care enough to reconcile negating a negative review. The service here was so bad that I don't think they ever would give a hoot about Yelp. The pastries were alright, nothing special, pretty decent, but the service was unbelievable. I did want to slap that biatch's face but I'm a civilized person. I went up to the pastries counter to order my pastries and moved to the register to place my drink order. I always approach staff with courtesy and a smile. A) you don't wanna mess with people who serve your food B) there's no reason to be a dick to people. So when the B rang me up, I asked her if I could add another pastry. She glared at me like I was asking her to help me move. So she unwillingly went back to the pastry cabinet, and I also kindly reminded her of the other pastries that I picked out earlier. I haven't finished my sentence and she interrupted me and said scornfully, "I know." My friend later came and stood next to me at the register and she saw her face too. She said, "wow, she looks like we have murdered her whole family. Wtf is wrong with her!?" If we did murder her family, I think she should take a day off and cry about it, not coming to work and take it out on customers. I normally don't write a bad review based on one aspect, but I can say I haven't seen such a mean person in the customer service sector for a loooong loooong time. Chinese restaurants by far have better service than this place. At least the Chinese ladies ignore me, not showing me any form of aggression. Don't care how your pastries and coffee taste, neither of us liked it here.

Supersaucus, royal cupcakes, and eierkoek! Or boobie-cakes, as I call them…read more Eierkoek is a flat circular baked bread. It tastes like angel food cake with a dark crust and sugar. I was curious and asked about it at the counter. "Buy one or buy 6, I bet you'll want to eat the whole bag," the guy at Bakker Bart told me. At around 3 Euro, it was a steal and for the rest of the day, I had snacks that would save me from passing out. Bakker Bart is a quaint bakery (like Au Bon Pain almost) but with lots of Dutch treats. The hot pink motif makes it really stand out and everything is fresh! I'd buy more if I were going home to a fridge. The sandwiches looked decent enough for lunch but it was really the supersaucus (meat pies, savory pastry filled with beef or pork) that really drew us in. They were tasty and easy enough to eat while walking. ***** Supersaucus, koninklijke cupcakes, en eierkoek! Boobie-cakes, zoals ik ze noem. Eierkoek is een platte, ronde gebakken brood. Het smaakt engel voedsel taart met een donkere korst en suiker. Ik was nieuwsgierig en vroeg erover aan de balie. "Koop een of koopt 6, ik wed dat je wilt de hele zak eten," de man bij Bakker Bart vertelde me. Op ongeveer 3 euro, het was een koopje en voor de rest van de dag, ik had snacks die me zou redden van flauwvallen. Bakker Bart is een schilderachtige bakkerij (zoals Au Bon Pain bijna), maar met veel Nederlandse lekkernijen. De hete roze motief maakt het er echt uit springen en alles is vers! Ik zou meer kopen als ik naar huis ging om een koelkast. De broodjes zag er fatsoenlijk genoeg voor de lunch, maar het was echt de supersaucus (vlees taarten, hartige gebak gevuld met rundvlees of varkensvlees) die echt trok ons binnen Ze waren lekker en makkelijk genoeg te eten tijdens het lopen.

There was plenty of seating near big windows and they even had some games available for patrons to play. Hubby and I knocked out a round of dominoes while we waited for our cupcake. This reminds of a smaller, slightly less frilly version of Cake Bake in Indianapolis. Floral walls covered in spring blossoms just make it a happy girly place to go get your sugar rush. Also, though they offer iced tea, which is a rarity in Europe, and I was able to get one to go, they did not tell me it was sweetened, and I hate sugar in my tea. Oh well. Still had a delightful experience here, with the sweet staff. And the loos were so cute- blue for boys and pink for girls.

And I bake all the time, something extremely hazardous to my diet haha ...but thats also why I'm extremely critical of baked goods. Having tried several bakeries in The Netherlands I've come to the conclusion that it's extremely rare to find good cupcakes. They are either stale or the icing isn't right or just plain ol' BLAH! But that wasn't the case at VAN NESS I've been trying to eat their cupcakes for a while now. They get sold out rather quickly so one has to go sometime before 3-4pm if you want to have all the flavors. So we walked into this tiny store full of excitement and tried four different flavors of cupcakes (chocolate lava, red velvet, pistachio and chocolate vanilla) and boy o' boy was I pleasantly surprised, they were EPICALLY delicious. They were moist and full of flavor and honestly the best I've had in this country for sure! I totally understand why they are sold out before the store closes and I was so impressed to taste every flavor and their icing was divine. So yes go there, go there tomorrow! It's amazing I can't wait to try out all the flavors! Eeeeeeeee *happydance* Ps: get a free cupcake if you check in with YELP!

Van Ness is STILL at the top of my list and I thought it deserved an update since my last review…read morewas short and sweet. Cupcakes are top-notch. I know my cupcakes and have been to countless shops in the US and Europe and Vanessa's are some of the best. I love them so much I actually wrote about them on my blog! The shop is super cute and simple. Simplicity is under-rated in my opinion. You already have all the options just sitting on the counter staring at you and the prices are overhead. Another reason that I love the cupcake stands-on the counter-behind plexi glass-is that it's obvious what's still available. I'll admit, there will be a special discount or pop-up flavor and I'll be lazy and wait to go. Then she's sold out! I mean, good for her! But I can just walk in and see what flavors are left. No more asking what's in stock! Simple. Oh, and every girl I've met that works there is SO nice! I don't see the bad Dutch service that people talk about. But I can tell you that for sure you will not have bad service here! Want a smile? Just walk in and you'll get one for free ;) Just remember that they only take cards...debit or credit. No messy cash here! One of my favorite things to do is to grab a cupcake and chow down outside the store...people usually walk right on in after they see how delicious they are :)

They've got a selection of cupcakes which you can pick from (with incredibly cute names like "Carameltdown", "Peachy Perfect" and "Strawberry Sweetie"), but they also do cakes and brownies. So far, every cupcake I've tried tastes amazing and just makes me want to try more of them. The girls at the counter are incredibly helpful and will take the time explaining what kind of flavours you can expect from which type of cupcake. It's a reasonably small place, so I wouldn't recommend it for groups, but it's very nice to sit inside when you're with a friend. They also have a few tables outside, but in my opinion it felt kind of uncomfortable since you're pretty much sitting in the middle of a street. *They also do delivery! :)
