Before leaving for Amsterdam, I did a ton of research on where to get some top tier pancakes and this place popped up. Lucky for me, my hotel was walking distance from the restaurant! I stopped by as soon as they open and dined outside by the canal. I'd recommend doing the same because it packed and busy very quickly. Service was paced nicely and they never rushed me to leave when I was finished - a plus in my book! I definitely recommend

This is a lovely spot for authentic Dutch pancakes that is close to the Museum District. I happened to go on Valentine's Day, and it was beautifully decorated. My group enjoyed 3 types of pancakes: banana, strawberry, and Nutella. The pancakes were buttery and soft, and the toppings complemented them perfectly! Although there may be a bit of a wait due to limited seating, it is well worth it!

Apple pancake with lemon curd.

Delicious pancakes and huge portions. I ordered the apple pancake with a side of lemon curd. It was amazing. Great service from the friendly wait staff. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Everytime we are in Amsterdam-We always stop at the Pancake Club. Their Poffitje (little puffy pancakes) are delicious. Service was prompt and the inside is comfortable and fun!

Savory and sweet Dutch pancakes
Apryl W.

An amazing cute spot in Amsterdam with indoor and outdoor seating! The tree inside makes the ambience feel cutesy and inviting! The staff were super nice and provided us ample time to make a decision on what we wanted to order. We did 1 savory and 1 fresh fruit and whipped cream sweet Dutch pancakes and shared! Everything was so so delicious! The savory had Gouda cheese and bacon. The pancakes are thin and somewhat crispy. If you are in Amsterdam this is a must stop! Bathroom is available too downstairs. :)

we got 3 crepes, and crepe donuts! i am so happy with how these turned out and the "pancakes" or crepes were so yummy. it was light and delicious, with an abundant amount of strawberries. we got i ice cream on the side which was way to much sugar for me but still supper yummy. the service was good. it was a nice and cozy restaurant that was warm during this winter month.

Apple pancake

Came by to wait out the rain outside and it was a great stop to fill my sweet tooth! Got the mini pancakes with strawberries and they were so good. The dutch pancake was also good, thin like a crepe. Syrup upon request. Husband who does not have a sweet tooth enjoyed their "pizza" (forgot what they called it) and pear juice. Casual but cute ambiance with a bathroom downstairs. There is free wifi (just ask for the pw) and you can order to your table via a QR code.

The Pancake Club is the round dark green building on the right side of this picture overlooking the canal.

Other than being a little pricey because it's in a tourist area, this little jewel is all 5-star quality based on our first experience there. The food was fantastic - we had a savory pancake (ham & cheese) and a sweet one (strawberries, whipped cream & ice cream - the "Pancake Club" poffertjes - small pancakes)! And the service was every bit as good. The environment is a fun location with lots of personality overlooking one of Amsterdam's canals where we saw canal cruises passing by fairly often. We did have to wait outside for about ten minutes until a table became available because there's no extra space inside, but the wait was well worth it! We haven't gotten to try any of the other numerous pancake cafes in Amsterdam, but it's hard to imagine one being any better all the way around than The Pancake Club!

Poffertjes with powdered sugar and butter
Lou E.

What's not to love about this little place along one of the beautiful canals in Amsterdam and it was right across the street from hotel. Could have eaten here twice but it was our last day. We ordered the Poffertjes which are a miniature Dutch pancake. They resembling small, fluffy pancakes. The poffertjes at the Pancake Club are outstanding. Some of the best we have had in Amsterdam. We had ours with only powdered sugar and butter. We also ordered a Gouda crepe. It hit the spot with the warm cheese and it was a great addition to our lunch. Service was great. The place was very busy. Highly recommend. Prices are very reasonable.

We got the mini pancakes and I can say these are without a doubt the best mini pancakes in the Netherlands. The ham and cheese pancake was also phenomenal. Service was fast, but the best part was the view. The restraint overlooks the river and provides a much better view than any restaurant located in this vicinity. 10/10 would recommend.

Dutch mini pancakes - Poffertjes (pronounced poff-er-chuss), are served here and they are amazing! Sure there may be other restaurants in Amsterdam that serve Poffertjes, but between the authenticity, the friendly service, and the fantastic setting, these cannot be beat! Our server was Lydia, and she was really wonderful and patient in explaining the menu and all the options. As you can see by the photos, we had Poffertjes with fresh strawberries and lemon curd. The pancake Club is located across from the Amsterdam Marriott Hotel in Leidseplein square, next to a picturesque canal. The building is new, but they have been in this location with an older movable building for many years. Don't miss the opportunity to dine here and try authentic Poffertjes. Ask for Lydia :0)

Great breakfast place with very friendly staff. Among all the pancakes we ordered, I like Oreo and chocolate poffertjes the most. The restaurant is located on the river. The view inside or outside is wonderful!

Food, ambience and service all SUPER. Family run we learned. We've been in Amsterdam 3 days and already back for 2nd time. Yes we'll probably come again!!! The circular all windows in garden on canal Delicious oat milk latte. Had savory last time, sweet pancakes this time.

What a fun little Amsterdam find! First things first: reservations are HIGHLY recommended. Seating…read moreis only on the hour, starting at noon, and this place is tiny. We're talking just four tables, with only two that can seat a party of four. They'll consider walk-ins at opening if there's room, but I wouldn't chance it. Then there's the setting. Funky, quirky, cozy, and packed with wonderfully random decorations. Like teapots and cups on the ceiling. And yes, you really do go upstairs...very steep stairs! Definitely something to know if mobility is an issue. But let's talk PANCAKES! We ordered four for our table of four--two savory and two sweet--which was WAY too much food, but OMG, they were incredible. Huge, thin, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The tiny kitchen can only cook two pancakes at a time, which somehow just adds to the charm. Prices were surprisingly reasonable, too. Just don't dally--you have your table for an hour, and then it's time for the next lucky group to climb those stairs. Would I go back? HECK YA! We barely scratched the surface of the menu, and there are plenty more pancakes calling my name. Friendly staf

IMPORTANT: CASH ONLY or debit. I was so excited to try this…read moreplace and we made our way there winding through the streets of Amsterdam. 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!

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.
