Classic pancake with banana
Katherine G.

Good, but nothing too spectacular. I had to try dutch pancakes while visiting Amsterdam and this appeared as one of the best places. We came in the morning around opening time, and there weren't too many people inside. I got a classic pancake with banana inside since they were out of strawberries. They're all made to order of course, and came out pretty fast! The pancake was pretty large and generous in portion. I love how it waspresented :) The batter was good, and the bananas added a nice touch to it as well. I loved how fresh everything tasted. At the end of the day, it really is just what you expect though - nothing too too magical. Solid spot for breakfast or a quick snack!

Vegan chili pancakes and vegan pancakes with strawberries and vegan chocolate hazelnut sauce

Went here 2 out of 3 days I was in Amsterdam with my wife. We both loved it. I made my own mini pancakes concoction while she ordered the vegan Chili pancakes. 5 out of 5 from both of us. It was so good we even got an order of pancakes with strawberries and vegan chocolate hazelnut sauce to share on top of our own orders on the second day. The drinks were awesome as well, I got the chai latte both days and it was great. Wife had the matcha latte and is normally not a fan of matcha but very much enjoyed her drink as well. The workers were very nice and even recognised us. Cool little spot, definitely coming back the next time I'm in town.

Such a great little place! We went there twice, two separate days! With nice staff. My husband had the sweet and I had the salty and we shared! It was perfect combo! (Ham & Cheese, Nutella & Banana) Yumm!!

This place is so cute and the name and its proximity to our hotel definitely caught our eye for a quick brunch. It's order at the counter and then find a seat. We selected one savory pancake ham and cheese roll and a sweet waffle with strawberries. Beware as our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and that pancake roll was so filling. The items are made to order so we were able to peripherally watch them prepare the pancake. Both were very good, not dense, fluffy in texture but still very filling. A great quick option

Sweet and savory crepes! Added bacon to mine on the right.

Small like most places but so good! I like the way they cut the crepes up into pieces which made it easy to eat with the small wood spoons. My boys went for the strawberry and Nutella. I had the smoked cheese and onion jam and bacon. We left full and happy!

Gives you an idea of the size in comparison to my hand.

I ordered the vegan rolled pancake with strawberries, bananas, chocolate sauce and powdered sugar. I tend to have a sweet tooth in the morning, so this was the perfect breakfast! I love how they make the pancakes right in front of you. The fruit tasted super fresh and they were not stingy! The rolled pancake was slightly difficult to eat, but that made it fun! The employees were kind, the space was cute, and it was in a central location! Overall, the pancakes were a great snack, and a sweet experience. To see my visit to The Happy Pig and all of the vegan food I ate in Amsterdam, watch my "eat with me in Amsterdam" video on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VrHHkoYKko&t=479s

Everybody's Sweetheart with lemon and sugar
Shelby S.

Having vegan options abroad is so important when I travel. This place has great vegan items on the menu! I got the pancake roll with bananas, chocolate hazelnut sauce, almond slices, and lemon and sugar. BREAKFAST OF THE GODS. The service was kind and shop was cozy. Loved this place.

Was a cute hole in the wall I had found while waiting for stores to open. The service was awesome and they were quick with our order even with the big morning crowd. Food was delicious, sweet, and savory.

Looking for iconic Dutch pancakes? Do not pass this place up! Quaint corner eatery with only a few dine-in seating spots but clearly designed for an easy to-go experience, the savory and sweet filled pancakes are quickly made to order and surprisingly filling! We arrived right as they opened on our last day in the city. Needing to satisfy my sweet tooth, I ordered the "Everybody's Sweetheart" which has bananas, chocolate-hazelnut sauce, toasted almonds, and I added strawberries to it. My friend chose a savory option ordering the "Dutch Delight" with gouda cheese, fig jam and adding ham that was so good I contemplated ordering a second one.

This place was so cute and the food was amazing! It's great for breakfast or brunch. The service was good.

I've actually eaten here before and loved it . . . but this visit didn't quite go as planned…read more I brought my daughter and her friend, who has a peanut allergy, and unfortunately we couldn't eat here because they make everything with peanut oil. That said . . . the food is delicious (from my last visit), and it's such a cute, unique little spot. They're known for having just 4 tables and a 12-person max, which makes it feel super intimate and cozy. Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance . . . just skip it if you have a nut allergy!

Tinniest restaurant I've ever been to, quite an experience!…read more I highly recommend to book in advance if you want to secure a space in this little gem that only has 4 tables. The place has an incredible personality starting with the super narrow stairs you have to climb to get there. Gives you a feeling of a quirky fun atmosphere with teapots hanging from the ceiling. I suggest you order a savory and a sweet pancake so you can compare. We pick "The King" for sweet, with strawberries, powder sugar and whipped cream and the bacon, cheese and sugared ginger for savory. Both were really good but my fav definitely was the sweet one. The portion per pancake is enough for one person and they are also perfect for share if you order two or three. There are other pancake places but this one felt authentic!

This place has changed its name to The Pancake Club, but looks to be serving the same thing…read more Located right next to river and has seating outside under mostly shaded trees. We were there the day after Kings day and it was a lovely morning. The weather was cool, but not cold and we were able to enjoy the nice breeze and canal boats passing by. 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.

When there aren't many international reviews, each one counts and there is one goober who gave them…read morea one star because they didn't offer change for cash. You know why goober? Because it explicitly says no cash on the entrance! I can't stand bad yelpers. This place is terrific and if you want a nice breakfast or lunch in a casual and relaxed place literally within spitting distance of the Anne Frank House, this is it. They do have American pancakes but don't waste your time on those. Get one of their pancakes which are kind of like crepes but definitely a pancake. So good! Plus they have both gluten-free and vegan options as well. FOOD: The pancakes are amazing. I had a pastrami pancake (holiday special) and it was delicious. My wife had the honey and cheese with apples and that was delicious also. It was fun, different, and tasty all in one. SERVICE: Terrific. Great service and the portions are just right. You may not be totally stuffed, but you will be comfortably full and that's coming from a big guy. And like I said, can't believe they had gluten-free options! COST: A bit pricey but considering this is an unique experience, then totally worth it. Would definitely go again.

We stopped here for lunch after The Anne Frank House. Pancakes for lunch? Yeah, I wasn't sure, but…read morethis was a hit. You can get sweet or savory pancakes, and unless you get the American style pancakes, their pancakes are like crepes. Light and thin. I got the spicy one with egg, chicken and spinach. It was tasty. They need some hot sauce and other sauces to go with the savory pancakes, but it was very good. My wife got the bacon and mushroom pancake. It was also very good. A pleasant surprise! Would definitely try again.
