Also mayo but ew. Got that on the side for the boyfriend. Crepe was the right amount of thin and enough to hold everything without falling apart. The flavor of each ingredient was in every bite. We did a Kinder Bueno Belgian Waffle with ice cream, caramel sauce, and whipped topping. Sugar overload but OMWaffles was it good. So decadent and delish. On another visit we shared a traditional Stroopwaffle and it was pure joy. Would I visit again? What do you think? Y-E-S!

Aka the shop for all your stroopwafel needs. I honestly never knew they came in so many flavors. So…read moremany. If nothing else, come for all the samples. And if you're able to attend one of their short demonstrations. It'll happen either in the basement with the full theater kitchen or in the back of the shop at a little counter. Either way, they'll give you some of what is made for a taste, and I never realized just how good freshly made, warm stroopwafel was. It is amazing. O.o We were part of a tour group and the demo came as part of the package. If you're on your own, I think it may cost a few euros. Woltje's Backerij, or Woltje's Bakery, consists of a shop (1st floor), bakery (downstairs), and museum (upstairs). They sell chocolates, ice creams, and waffles, but their main focus are stroopwafels. This is a Dutch signature wafer consisting of thinner brown sugar wafers with a caramel filling that was traditionally laid over the top of a steaming cup of tea, hence the circular shape. The founder/original baker was a woman (who I get the feeling was a pillar of her community) who apparently took the original recipe and made it her own into the Volendamse wafel. Nowadays, Woltje's seems to have stuck with the base recipe but have expanded in terms of variety with four base categories (caramel, speculaas/cookie butter, honey, and chocolate-covered). Seriously, there was an APPLE PIE stroopwafel. And I REALLY love the chocolate covered ones. Those are really satisfying bites. Again, we came as part of a tour group. The majority of the group were led down for a presentation in the basement kitchen. Meanwhile, we were in the group of remaining people (who couldn't fit) and were given a much more intimate, close-up presentation at a little counter set up in the back of the store. I think the basement presentation was more of how the bakery makes or used to make stroopwafels in large batches. While I would have liked the see the kitchen myself, but seeing the actual process closely and also a lot of fun. I'd love to try to make some myself. Overall, this was a really fun stop and I loved tasting everything. Most importantly, I thought the short demonstration was great and the discovery that warm stroopwafels are AMAZING. Additionally, the packs and tins they sell make for great souvenirs. For cookies, they're actually pretty sturdy and could actually take a bit of pressure. All of ours got back to the States without any problems.

STROOOOOOOP WAAAAFFFLLLLEEEEE!!!…read more If you don't know what a stroop waffle is, you should. Its a classic Dutch dessert consisting of two very thin crispy waffles with some sweet warm caramel syrup between them...its pure magic. BUT!

For a mere €2, one of Woltje's divine Dutch divas will hand craft you a hot, fresh, caramel crispy stroop waffle..a perfect ratio of carb crunch, sweet caramel, and joy exploding in your mouth. Eat this!

Atmosphere - Tiny place, maybe eight seats that are at a counter facing away from the kitchen. Most of the space is taken up by the display case and the kitchen so very narrow area for the customers. Food Drink - A mocha, it was thick and luscious. Breakfast - I had some of my wife's waffle. I enjoyed that. I needed some protein so I had the special. Ham and cheese croissant, the croissant was butterflied open to lay flat with the ham covered in melted cheese to give that ooey gooey goodness.

My friend had the Dutch pancake with Bacon & cheese wow, another delicious dish amazing pancake that dutch cheese is heaven, good bacon. only complain I have sort off is that it is cash only.. it's only a complain because not everyone carries cash these days so it can be an inconvenience. Small location, service is quick & prices are decent amazing pancakes & waffles really worth the try.

Easily one of the best pancake experiences I've ever had, although I don't really go out of my way…read moreto eat pancakes that often. The cool, and tough thing, about this place, is that you get to customize your pancake by choosing the toppings. I got a Dutch Pancake with Nutella, bananas, and cheesecake cream. In my opinion, it was incredibly good, but it was a little too sweet at times. The pancake was extremely fluffy, but also crispy on the edges. It went great with the Nutella alone, but also with all 3 of the toppings combined with the cheesecake cream giving that extra creamy touch. The bananas were also very ripe and tasty. I have a couple of recommendations from this place. First off, unless you are the ultimate sweet tooth, don't put too many sugary things on your pancake (like whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc..) - try to balance it out with a lot of fruits so that you will be eating a little healthier but also combating the accumulated sweetness. Also makes sure to spread out all of the toppings across the pancake before you start eating so that each bite has a mix of everything and is not dominated by one flavor. Overall, this is a fantastic place to go grab pancakes (they have other breakfast options too), but you just have to watch out a little for the sweetness.

A surprisingly good bakery despite being in the touristy Red Light District. Most everything I…read moretried was delicious. Though the fruit-heavy pastries were especially good. Chocolate Croissant: A very unique chocolate croissant since it was actually dipped in a rich dark chocolate. Still the same buttery flaky croissant texture underneath, which you'd expect. And I think there was a little chocolate inside too. High recommend for any chocolate lover. Timmetje: Tasted like olive bread with a lot of crisped cheese on top. Very savory. Since I bought so many sweets, this was a nice counterpoint. Appel Rozijn: Seemed like a fluffy bun with a little bit of raisins and a little bit of apple. Not that sweet. Also, not that flavorful, kinda bland. Appel Tartlettes: Meanwhile, this one is loaded with apple bits and nuts! All resting in a buttery pastry nest. Loved the intense fruit onslaught. Frambozen Pecan: I've had a lot of dessert bars in my day, but never raspberry and pecan. The flavors worked very well together. Sweet, slightly tart, a little meaty from the pecans. And the base underneath was a bit neutral to help the focus stay on the raspberry. I devoured this one very quickly.

Get the Apple Turnover (Appelflap)!!! Ideally, get it as early as you can while they're still warm…read more You will be be catapulted into Food Heaven for Foodies who know their stuff!! The Apple Turnover is so worth it, calorically, monetarily, and whatever time it takes you to get here. It really is that good! I've gotten it 5 days out of 6 since we've been in Amsterdam. I can't say enough about how perfectly flaky this pastry is, and ooh those little bits of sugar atop really top it off! You can hear the crunch of every flaky layer as you bite into this. Also, just enough apples inside without overwhelming it. This is exactly like the quality of pastries I've had all over France, but never get anywhere in the entire the Bay Area, with the exception of the Kouign Amann at B. patisserie in SF. I stumbled on this bakery while wandering this popular street, which by the way has quite a few Asian restaurants, as it's nearby Chinatown (which itself is not anything to speak of at all). There's also a book written about the restaurants and shops on this street, but this is NOT a touristy spot like so so many of the bakeries in Amsterdam. It's small and quaint with quality baked goods, not massed produced pedestrian food. Although the selections are fairly limited, what they have here is high quality baked goods. They're a very bread centric bakery, which is why I'm guessing their clientele is more local. I've seen locals coming in purchasing loaves of their freshly made breads. I tried their raisin bread and there were so many sweet rainsins in every slice! If you're putting a foodie list together for Amsterdam, definitely add the Apple Turnover here to your list. And bring along a little stash of cash, as they don't accept credit cards here. I'm literally off now to get one to happily start my morning again!
