    Oat milk cappuccino
    Leah A.

    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!

    Wonderfully located gem of a restaurant in central Amsterdam near historical buildings; lots of Tram traffic to peruse while you eat your Crepes (Dutch Pancakes) and Pancake Balls. The locals are strolling on their feet and their bicycles and it makes for a wonderful sight, especially with all the furry friends rolling through. The staff were warm and welcoming and attentive throughout service, although busy on a weekday morning. Would definitely return here again when back in the EU!

    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!

    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.

    Savory and sweet Dutch pancakes

    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. :)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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)

    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.

    Ambience of the location...indoor tree!
    Rick B.

    This place is an absolute hidden gem. In a small sliver of a park next to a canal, The Pancake Club truly does feel like that; seating is extremely limited (8 tables!) but every one had a great view outside and inside the amazing round glass and metal structure they inhabit. The staff are super friendly, and the menu is just amazing! The Pancake Club serves only pancakes, in two varieties: the first being a traditional Dutch "Poffertjet" pancake that is roughly the size of a puffy American silver dollar pancake, cooked in front of you on a copper stovetop! The second are thin pancakes similar to crepes with sweet options that include apple, strawberries, banana, and crème or yogurt, and savory options that include ham, Bacon, cheese, or any combination thereof. Cute, cozy, and compact with a wonderful staff and skilled cooks that show off their talent right out the front window. It's the go-to breakfast and lunch place that my wife and I have enjoyed every day of our stay in Amsterdam...and once you try it, you probably will to. Well worth the wait in line!

    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.

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.
