I genuinely think poffertjes should be a required food worldwide. We got some at Albert Cuyp Market and honestly... perfect. Super fluffy, warm, covered in plenty of powdered sugar, and exactly what I wanted after walking around Amsterdam all day. People add toppings and sauces and all kinds of extras, but these didn't even need it. Just give me the pancakes and the sugar and leave me alone for a minute. I would happily eat a billion of them. read more

These were the tastiest poffertjes i have ever had, they truly do "melt in your mouth" and I grew up eating these from my Dutch step-mother. Watching them being cooked was fun and fast. The Albert Cuyp Markt has a lot of vendors, make sure to stop here. read more

These little Dutch pancakes are to die for. Had them at a few places across town and this was one of mg favorite spots. Made fresh to the order, I tried them plain with butter and thought they were delicious. They almost melt in your mouth. Make sure to check what their hours are and what days they are open. read more

These little pancakes were amazing. They are served fresh with butter and powdered sugar. You can also top them with nutella, syrup, caramel, chocolate, whipped cream and Grand Marnier. They are located in the Albert Cuyp Market and are a must visit. read more

Heaven! Absolute heaven! These are little puffy clouds of goodness. Poffertjes are different than pancakes. They are much lighter and fluffier than pancakes with so much buttery goodness. They even come with a little pat of butter to dip into. The couple serving up these was so sweet. They make them fresh, right in front of you. While you can get them with different toppings, I thought they were perfect plain. read more

One of our favorite spots along the entire Albert Cuyp Road. The guy making the mini pancakes was friendly, and very chatty. Everything looks so good, but we just got an original one, because he said that was his favorite. Came with butter and powdered sugar. Clearly not there to upsell us, which was nice. Cute little bench to sit and eat. The family fought over the small plate of 10 pancakes. We will be back! read more

This in the ALbert Cuyp market, which is a bit overwhelming at first, but you won't miss this little desert wagon when wondering by. The pastries are excellent and very tasty! There are no long lines most of the time, maybe on weekends. Super delicious and Dutch treats. Buy one of everything...there are no calories when on vacation! read more

Look. This place is almost cult like in the number of friends that have raved about this place. I'm going to leave this short. You must visit this food stand. Located on a street filled with food vendors near the Heineken factory, expect the best poffertjes on a paper plate you'll ever eat in your life. read more

I can't believe I almost forgot to write a review about this place. Another recounting from my time in Berlin in March 2023. On my multiple sojourns to Albert Cuyp, I walked by this stand not even realizing what I was missing out on, but after seeing folks walking around with cute little pancakes, I decided to go investigate. To be honest, the person manning the griddles was a little intimidating, so I was kind of scared lol, but the poffertjes looked so good that I couldn't resist trying. When I ordered, the let's call him "griddle man" kept it very brisk and got to work. I got regular poffertjes with powdered sugar and butter. Once they were done, he handed them to me with what seemed like a knowing gleam in his eye and asked if I wanted any more sugar, butter, or napkins. Again, I was kind of nervous so I said no and quickly took my order to the side to sit on a little bench and have a taste. Not to mention there was already a generous portion of butter and powdered sugar on the plate already. That first bite, wow, pillowy soft, buttery, and sweet. It was like biting into a small piece of heaven. I was actually astonished by how good it was. The griddle man looked and me and asked "Good?" now with a smile. I exclaimed "Yes!! So good!" I was thinking I might save some for my husband, but I ate all of them right there on that bench with no regrets, and in the rain no less! I can confidently say those were the best form of pancake I have ever had. And for the price, it was a great deal. read more

I would say that these are the best poffertjes in Amsterdam but I really don't know as these were the only poffertjes that I had in Amsterdam. But I will tell you that they are DELICIOUS. They're mini-pancakes. Round, perhaps 1.5 inches across, fluffy. Served up fresh off the griddle and with toppings that include caramel, strawberries, marshmallows, honey, Grand Marnier, nutella or just plain (i.e., powdered sugar and butter). Eat with a wooden fork as you tour the rest of the market. Enjoy! [Review 12085 overall, 1868 of 2019.] read more

If you are coming to Amsterdam, you need to have poffertjes. If you are going to have poffertjes, they need to come from Albert Cuyp! Watching them made, getting them hot (too hot to eat right away - keep them level in your hand or else), and eating them fresh are uniquely Dutch experiences. read more

I love poffertjes! I came here to get some, and although I had to wait quite a while for them, they were worth it. I got it without powdered sugar and butter, but I did get it with Nutella. They were hot and chewy, and I really enjoyed them. Definitely recommend! read more

Frens Haringhandel was my favorite stop for food on a recent trip to Amsterdam. On my first visit I…read moretried the Herring Sandwich. Soft bread was filled with soft tender fresh herring (which had no fishiness in its flavor), crisp onions and tangy pickles. I understand why this is a popular street food. On my second visit I had the Fried Cod. Meaty and flakey nuggets of Cod were coated in a perfectly crisp breading with a nice saltiness and flavorful spices. The side of tartar sauce was heavenly creamy, sweet and tangy. Frens Haringhandel is a must visit.

This place is ALL OVER social media, but is it worth the hype? Absolutely…read more We stopped here in October 2025, after an already filling late lunch. But we knew we had to try it, and life is short. It is a tiny stand located along a central canal in the heart of the city. Business is hopping here. We got the picked herring and kibbeling, which are the main staples here. The pickled herring was, well, something you either love or don't. It has somewhat of a gelatinous texture that can be off-putting, but when you take a bite with the sides of sweet pickles and onions, it shines. The Kibbeling was out of this world. Perfectly fried with a crunchy batter that had a hint of, hmmm, curry, maybe. It was amazing. Although the batter was thick and tasty, it didn't outdo the delicious cod. The staff here was friendly, and having this Dutch food along a canal in Amsterdam made for a memorable experience. There are plenty of places to sit near the stand - enjoy this tasty food and watch the world go by.

Only takes a few mins for them to finish your order, but it's worth the wait if you're an impatient and hungry person. Definitely recommend if you're in this area for a quick and cheap meal!
