    The ham Croissant was soggy with one piece of Ham. The display is awesome, The bakery is medium good.

    Loved the churros...friendly and lively atmosphere. The desserts were as delicious as they looked!

    Salmon Wrap
    Angela T.

    The food here is amazing and well prepared. I was initially hesitant to try the hot dog as I am not a fan of American hot dogs, but after trying it I can say it was a thousand times better than that. Also was able to sample their salmon wrap and even the simple wrap was delicious.

    Great selection!

    Stopped by for a quick treat on my birthday. I had a custard and strawberry filled croissant and it was excellent! The service was quick even though it was quite busy.

    Churros (~€5): with Nutella & powdered sugar

    Ordered: Churros (~€5): with Nutella & powdered sugar Poffertjes (~€5): with Strawberry Aya's take: We were in the mood for a quick dessert and found ourselves at Rene's Croissants. It was super busy but we placed our order on the kiosk and waited. If you're coming here for anything, let it be the Churros. They're freshly made and smell delicious. The Nutella also adds that rich hazelnut taste to go along with the cinnamon sugar. Such a good combination! The Poffertjes were nothing special - get the Churros!

    LUIKSE WAFEL AARDBEI MET SLAGROOM AND HOT CHOCOLATE

    So many sweet options makes it hard to pick one thing. This sweet little shop is open late until 2am if you're out late and want a treat. Service was excellent, the girls behind the counter were welcoming and friendly. I tried the "Luikse Wafel Aadbei Met Slagroom" (a chocolate covered waffle topped with whipped cream, strawberries, and chocolate flakes) along with hot chocolate and everything was great!

    This is in the main touristy area and is over run with tourists but still worth the stop. They have a lot of different dessert options. I decided to get churros with white chocolate and Nutella. I figured I deserved it since I was walking so much. It was worth the 15-minute wait and quite good. The guy who made it was fun. He was very cheerful, winking and cracking jokes with everyone.

    The churros! (Dropped a churro on my jacket )

    THE GREATEST CHURROS YOU WILL EVER EAT IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I stood in the rain/cold outside for these (several days in a row in fact bc i obviously went everyday i was in Amsterdam) and I would do it again. I can't emphasize enough that they are the best I've never had. I've eaten more churros than I care to admit and this is literally the best one. Go there. Eat it. Live your life to the fullest.

    Pecan pastry
    Matt O.

    Great desserts! The pecan roll was amazing, went back the second day to get more. Jelly filled sugar donut was good as well as the apple turnover/flip. Highly recommend.

    I like this place. They are so nice here, welcomed me with a smile, and they didn't rush me or skip over me when I didn't have a straight answer for what I wanted by the time I got to the counter. You'd think after waiting in a long line I would have figured it out but everything looked like a 'yes' and I couldn't find anything to dump in the 'no' pile. I just couldn't decide between Nutella crepes, Rene's Croissants, or Nutella Churros. If I spent a bit longer in local 'coffeeshops' I may have gotten all three (if you know what I mean), but for now, I had to choose one. I always prefer a chocolatey something so Nutella Churros it is! I watched them fry the churros, place them in the paper cone, and add the Nutella like it was a magic show-- yes I said the ooohhh's and aaahhh's. I've always been a fan of places where you can watch your food being made and you can sit or stand there and watch as they make a performance out of your order. Cool. Fresh, hot, and soft on the inside, a toasted warm crisp on the outside drizzled with hot Nutella perfection. Oh, I'm melting! Everyone in line with me says the Rene Croissant is perfection and so are the crepes. I trust them and will go back for them next time. You gotta stop by here at least once during your stay!

    Too good! Grabbed a pastry here one morning to bring back to my hotel room for breakfast. I figured I should try some sort of croissant, given the name of the restaurant. I got the one with custard and strawberries and it did not disappoint!

    Holding a SMALL order of churros at about midnight.. I think  lol
    Aamiya D.

    Great late night churros! Small was enough for me.. I ordered them with just powdered sugar + still didn't finish them all. Best late night snack all vacation!

    Dhilip R.

    Dreamy places for churros!! It's definitely a thing. Witnessed huge crowds eating them And I tried them too. It was soft and sweetest churros ever. Unfortunately the next day they didn't accept cards and only cash. You can also try the macroons and croissants.

    If you are reading this, put your phone down and just go check this place out. It's worth the walk.

    I was thinking of picking up a few breakfast treats and came across this bakery on my way back to…read moremy hotel. The pastries caught my eye in the glass case. There were cannolis, cream puffs, cookies, donuts, cakes, macarons and there were also sandwiches and pizza type breads. We bought a cream puff with Bavian cream, a chocolate covered cream puff with the standard cream filing and a chocolate covered croissant. Everyone was happy with their purchases and I was especially happy with my cream puff with the Bavian cream. The surrounding cake was light and airy and the cream was delicious; not quite whipped cream (like American version) but like a combination of whipped cream and vanilla custard. The filling was very light and the entire pastry did not leave any heavy feeling at all. The 2 chocolate pastries were consumed without complaints. The chocolate croissant I noticed, was completely dipped in chocolate rather than a croissant that has chocolate inside. This bakery lives up to its c'est magnifique name!

    My favorite place in Amsterdam missing from Yelp? I had to add you Croissanterie C'est Magnifique…read more And you are simply that: MAGNIFICENT. You have set the bar for every patisserie and croissanterie I visit from now on. MY GOODNESS. I don't even know where to start. I visited you more times than I care to admit. And each time, your fruit tartes, custard croissants, crumble cakes, and cappuccinos made me dread the day I was to leave Amsterdam. For I knew no other place would ever compare. This small, unassuming place is located smack in the middle of the bustling Leidsestraat shopping district. The glass counter houses a plethora of sweet goodness (see my pics). The same girl was there each day making coffee and running back and forth from the kitchen in the back. Pastries are made fresh multiple times a day so everything is always fresh. Once you grab your order, there is a long table with stools that runs along the right wall. The smell of ground coffee beans and fresh baked bread filled the air, and spilled onto the street making it impossible to pass by without stopping in. They are open until at least 10pm but I'm not sure of their exact hours. And they open early too. Sweet, sweet danger. I am saddened that you are so far away from me. *insert sad face here*

The counter was packed with beautiful looking, freshly baked European breakfast pastries. Two cappuccinos, two raisin snails and two little tarts stuffed with almond paste were more than enough...

My breakfast included a large glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, toast, perfectly-cooked scrambled eggs with gouda cheese, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, a warmed fresh pastry, and a large cappucino for about €17. This neighborhood is packed with bars, clubs, restaurants, and coffeeshops and young people who party late into the night. I think we were the first customers to show up when they opened for business at 9:00 AM on Sunday. The two girls that run it were a little bleary-eyed, but got it together for us even though the Rembrantplein was deserted at that hour like a ghost town.

So delicious, fresh, and definitely popular since they didn't have it on days when I stopped in after 12pm. The cookies were also amazing. Tried a bunch of flavors, and every one was on point. The waffle, however, was the best thing I've eaten in Amsterdam all week. Had to go with the chocolate covered version, and it did not disappoint. The waffle was fresh, covered in powered sugar first and then amazing, rich chocolate that melted in your mouth/ hands and the combination was just divine. I will definitely be back, just for this, but next time after a long jog.
