    Dis place is superlekker. It is in the HEART of Leidseplein on the Prinsengracht - one of the most coveted locations in Amsterdam. It's a gezellig broodjes (sandwich) shop. Too bad we can only have ONE person inside at at time. That is NOT their fault. It's because they have two wonderful people working so you don't have to wait forever. You simply order inside then wait outside and watch them make your broodjes through their full-frontal facing windows. But the bottom line is the sandwich was amazing. I can't wait to go back. I feel good "Feng shui" when I'm there. The prices are fair and they are so friendly...also very good with Engels. :)

    We were looking for a place where we could get a to-go sandwich to enjoy outside on the canal. This place was incredible. Like others have said the sandwiches are simple but made with such high quality ingredients. I had a prosciutto and cheese sandwich with this truffle mayo that was to die for. Don't get me started on the baguette. They have a good selection of drinks ranging from beer to juices which you can take. The sandwiches are made to order but it took longer to find a bench along the canal than it did to prepare the order. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and need a quick bite!

    Arugula, fig jam, and goat cheese on white bread with roast beef

    This sandwich was to die for. I had the #19 with arugula, fig jam, and goat cheese on white bread and added roast beef. The service was very kind and sweet, and I would recommend this place to anyone for a quick, satisfying meal.

    The sandwich choices!

    Hardly your typical Dutch sandwich place.. this hot spot is pretty spectacular! They have lots of little extra add-ons (chips, nuts, dried fruits, wines, coffee, fresh juices) but it's their sandwiches- they're the absolute highlight! There 22 different broodjes on the menu with 4 different kinds of bread you can get it on. I can recommend the roast beef (No. 21!!) on the ciabatta with olives, and if you get extra grilled courgettes as well (for €1.20), it's the best broodje on the menu! Something to note is that all the sandwiches are made to order and they're fairly quick about it too. Also to note, the ladies behind the counter are super friendly too! Worth it if you're in a rush and even more worth it if you have the time to spare to enjoy the view!

    Menu and a peak at some grub.

    What a great little place. One of my favorite travel bloggers had mentioned it in a Tweet so I decided to hunt it down. It's a small shop, but the food was great. I got the sandwich with fig jam on it, and then just sat on the canal and soaked in a beautiful day in Amsterdam. They had fresh juices as well, but I didn't get a chance to try that. But the simple ingredient combination in my food- just so good!

    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*

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.
