Was somewhat ambivalent about going here when my wife suggested it. Had the pancakes with sausage and vegetables(zucchini, mushroom, eggplant). I was very pleasantly surprised. My wife said her flat white was very good, not great, but very good. We both thought the food was good but the location was better. It was a warm, clear September morning and we were outside right on the canal. Perfect! read more

If you want traditional Dutch Pancakes, check this place out. So good. There might be a wait, but we'll worth it.

Quite expensive but simply the best Dutch pofferjes ever. So good, I ordered a second round right after the first! Although I added some lemon curd, they are also delicious without it. read more

Ok - so we had no idea about Dutch pancakes. But you have to go try them. Large crepe-like pancake. We did one savory and one sweet. The savory was bacon and cheese. Freaking amazing. Sweet was Nutella and very good. Friendly folks, great location. MUST EXPERIENCE. read more

Call them pancakes, call them crepes, either way they are yummy. I highly recommend the poffertjes. They are small little ravioli shaped balls of doughy tasty deliciousness. Also the service was very friendly as was most of Amsterdam. read more

It's a nice place with delicious pofferjes and it's right by the canal, but expect very high prices. A plate of 20 pofferjes that costs about 5€ elsewhere here would cost about 10€ and higher. You also can't get tap water - they only sell bottled water. We stayed here for a little while escaping torrential rain outside so it worked out as a tiny dry harbor for us. read more

Went here for a sweet breakfast right by the canal. You can sit outside which is great. Unfortunately there was construction across the street at the casino and it was kinda loud but the Poffertjes were so worth it. Their staff was very polite and friendly. I'd go there again read more

I had a chicken w veg pancake and it was delicious. Nice location as you can seat outside overlooking a canal. The staff was prompt and friendly too. read more

The pancakes were all good but our service was so-so. For some reason the waitress couldn't remember to submit my order to the kitchen. I had to ask for my coffee and then track her down for my actual food after everyone else in my party had been served. I'd still recommend the food and the restaurant is situated in a good location along a canal. read more

So so so yummy! The poffertjied are a must have in Amsterdam and this lovely little restaurant was very enjoyable right on the water. Nice outdoor deck. read more

This place is awesome. We had pancakes and poffertjes the first time around, then came back for the poffertjes: SO GOOD. The pancakes are great, but the poffertjes are even better! We tried poffertjes at some other places, but these were my favorite. read more

De Vier Pilaren - Poffertjes with strawberries and whipped cream (and the typical butter and powdered sugar!) YUM. - Creperies Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Absolutely amazing open-face crepes. Both the sweet and savory are absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

I have a soft spot for such good pancakes at such a cute place. This is pretty easy: the service was great, the location is great, the place is small, intimate and just so kitsch in the best way. And, yes, you will hard-pressed to find a better Amsterdam pancake breakfast. We were only in town for a crew days, but we ended up going here twice. And we'll be back. read more

Heaven, absolute heaven on a plate. We had the pofferjets with strawberries and cream as well as a Dutch pancake (similar to a crepe) with Nutella and bananas. I can't even describe how tasty both were; just melt in your mouth deliciousness. My only complaint is that I can only eat here if I'm in Amsterdam! May be time to move! read more

This is a great little restaurant to stop by after taking a nearby boat tour, or finding yourself in Leidseplein and not wanting to eat fast food. On a cold Thursday evening they were pretty empty. The poffertjes were delicious, but a bit soft and misshapen, like they had trouble getting them out of the mold. It's nothing a ton of powdered sugar wouldn't hide, though. :) The staff was friendly, and offered the 2 children at our table the use of 1 tablet to amuse themselves with, as long as they didn't kill each other over who gets to use it. The tablet got a little sticky, but otherwise remained unscathed. This is the first restaurant I've been to that has its menus on tablets as well. That's clever, because it means they can offer the menu in like 7 different languages very easily. The prices are twice as high as what you'd pay for poffertjes outdoors at the Dappermarkt, but here you can stay warm and take advantage of their great location, so it's kind of worth it. read more

Great spot to stop for breakfast/brunch. The poffertjes are a must. The place is very small and busy often so it can be a little uncomfortable at times. read more

They're definitely used to seeing tourists here - which is great if you're worried about going to a smaller place or a more traditionally Dutch pancake house. The menu is pretty diverse, and they are quick! The poffertjes were only okay in my opinion - way too much powdered sugar and butter. The ones you can get at the stalls in Albert Cuypmarkt were better. The employees are very friendly, and there's a restroom! read more

I do love this place, and its always a staple of my Amsterdam visits, but the last visit was such a disappointment in service. We were seated, a waitress who had previously helped us just fine took my order (i order the same thing every time.) and when the order came, i noticed it was missing mushrooms. I let her know, then she proceeded to insist that i ordered what she gave me. When i politely said, no, i didn't, she continued to tell me i ordered the wrong thing. At that point, i said forget it, i'll eat what you brought, it wasn't worth the hassle, at which point she the said she'd bring me the new order, which i declined. Even with that, we came back again, and were met with the same waitress, only now with a hostile attitude. So disappointing, definitely will not be back. read more

Woo! Went to this place when I was in Dam for the second go round. It's the cutest place with a carousel theme and overlooking the water. Lovely! My goodness, the dutch pancakes were the best. I ordered the pancake with bananas. It was warm and delightful!! read more

We came here because we were told we HAD to try a pancake in Amsterdam and we happened to be strolling through the area. We chose a seat on the deck next to the canal which was cute and romantic =P . After perusing the menu we decided we would just try the poffertjes since people seemed to rave about them in their review... The poffertjes are just tiny fluffy pancakes with butter and powdered sugar covering them. We ordered the one with the strawberries and cream... we enjoyed them but they are IMHO overpriced for the quality/quantity provided. The service for us was terrible.... it could have been the table we choose to sit at (at the end of the deck , slightly hidden).... many people came, ordered, ate, and left before we even had a chance to get our food. I don't usually get frustrated at poor service since it's not usually personal... and our waitress was actually very nice but she lacked serious multitasking/prioritizing skills. Enjoyed the place but I wouldn't go back. read more

What a cute place with amazing poffertjes, as well as fast and friendly service! Very convenient place to grab a quick bite before a canal cruise or shopping. read more

POFFERTJES!!!!!!! My friend and I, discouraged after finding that all of the herring stands were closed for the day, decided to instead settle for pancakes. We started with the traditional flat Dutch pancake (we chose bacon and cheese), and we finished with poffertjes served with lemon curd, ice cream, and cream. The bacon and cheese pancake was pretty good but not so different from pancakes we'd tried elsewhere in Amsterdam, BUT THE POFFERTJES!!!!!!! The poffertjes are another story. These babies were fluffy, sweet, perfect little clouds of warm, carby goodness, and they went so well with their accompaniments. I tried to get a bit of pancake, lemon curd, ice cream, and cream in every bite, and it was absolutely divine. We were devastated when it was over. Pro tip: really close to Blue Boat Canal Company as well as the Van Gogh Museum if you're looking for other things to do in the area! :) read more

I just love the pofferjes here and to get a seat next to the canal is the icing on the cake. Even though the special was an apple cinnamon pannenkoeken, I stuck with my favorite, the pofferjes with powdered sugar, strawberries and whipped cream. My husband got the ham and chesse pannenkoeken which was also delicious. The prices are a bit high, but it's in a well-traveled part of the city and next to the canal, and you won't be disappointed! read more

Passed by after visiting one of the museums in the area. Their pancakes are really good, and are made to order. Their poffertjes are pretty good too. They can be eaten alone, but I ordered them with nutella and strawberries. If you have a sweet tooth, it's great with the nutella. read more

First time trying Poffertjes and they were excellent! I liked the texture and taste, they're like small pancakes with a more airy, puffy feel. My poffertjes were a bit too drenched in butter and a tad too much powdered sugar on top of everything- I would have liked a little bit less. Still, it was delicious! I would come here again. read more

Apple crepe and poffertjes were the favorite at our table, Although offered at several places the atmosphere here is ideal with the canal view and open kitchen to watch preperation. Order the poffertjes as served, without strawberries and whipped cream. Powdered sugar and butter alone makes them melt in your mouth. My reason for 4 stars is price, you can get crepes for much less at other restaurants, ambiance and location come with a price. At almost 50 euros for 3 people for breakfast you will want to go on a beautiful day and really enjoy yourself! read more

We were seating fairly quickly. However, we waited a few minutes to be handed menus, and the food took over half an hour. This sounds absurd considering they are pancakes topped with some fruits, while two other tables that arrived after ya got their food before us. The waitresses seemed a bit dismissive. The chicken/cheese pancake was ok. The Nutella/banana pancake actually tasted very good. read more

Awesome place to come for pancakes! Loved the location (it was very cute by the canals) and the service was great. They had savoury and sweet pancakes so there's definitely something for everyone. read more

Quick service and a great location. The food is ok but def caters to tourists. There are better places for poffertjes. The hot chocolate and milkshakes were really basic and not really worth it. read more

Wow! Amazing amazing!! The little pancakes were a fluffy dream! Plus the better?? The perfect treat, got the small and glad I did! Pretty reasonable for around 5 euros read more

Very cute and quaint creperie along the canal with a beautiful view if you sit outside or manage to find a table by the windows. We had the chicken and veggie, and sausage/veggie crepes and they were large, filling, and outstanding. Would highly recommend if you're looking for something quick and delicious. Also perfect for children as they have many different options. read more

Best pancakes and poffertjes (local fluffy micropancakes) in town. Don't expect great ambiance, but service is friendly. In summer add strawberries with cream to your poffertjes. In winter stock with the butter and powder sugar. read more

The pancakes are awesome. Getting there early (site says 10, but we happened by much earlier and they seated us) for a seat outside, next to the canal, in the shade of lovely trees made them extra awesome. A friendly cat joining us and sitting in our laps while we waited for the food just capped the experience. Although the server was less happy about the cat visiting. In sum: great pancakes, outstanding outdoor setting, don't count on a cat. read more
