The croissant was fresh and flaky - delicious. The coffee was also hot, fresh, and full of flavor. It came with a tiny muffin, which was also incredible. The service was friendly and fast, and it was surprisingly easy to get a table (pretty small place). Order pastries from the counter, sit down, order coffee, pay when you leave.

There are two entrances next to each other, so check out both sides as one side is more sandwiches and bread and the other side is more of the "barrista" coffee bar side. Fantastic fresh croissants and delicious "broodje" sandwiches. The small pizzas are excellent. Had a wonderful and flaky almond croissant. Great coffee. Decent prices. Fun people watching if you can snag an outside table. There's a lot of inside seating as well, but it does get very popular. The crowd quiets down in the early afternoon.

It's extremely busy and can be a little hard to place and order if you're not quick enough. I would recommend getting your order and taking it elsewhere to enjoy.

Henri Willig is as touristy as they come, but their cheeses are delicious. Major bonus points for having plentiful samples of just about everything on offer in the store. If you want to try a cheese that's not out, just ask. The friendly woman behind the counter was happy to slice a hunk of the extra aged gouda for me. This is a great way to sample the different kinds of gouda, munster, and more that are produced in the country. It's also fun to compare the cheese at different stages of aging. They feature cow, goat, and sheep's milk cheeses, and some come in interesting flavors like pumpkin, truffle, or coconut. But I'm a purist when it comes to cheese, so I stuck to the simple and plain gouda. The prices are a bit high, but the shop will pack your cheese for travel. They also offer some very snazzy looking gift sets if you want to take an edible souvenir (the best kind) to your friends back home.

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.

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!

Explore everything here! We came to Dutch Delicacy on pure accident, as we were walking around and saw that they had a ton of different goudas for sale. In the front part of the store is a take-out counter where they sell hot items, like sandwiches and baked pastries and desserts, like cheesecakes and cookies the size of your face! It all looked appealing and would've totally purchased a food item, had we not had lunch beforehand. Throughout the store were the cheese samples of the many different various kinds. It goes beyond what you thought gouda could be. There are sheep's and goat's cheeses for many of the different types. There are pesto cheeses that come in different colors like a bright blue and pink. There are cheeses that pair well with the dips that had me thinking about my next dinner party. There's Dutch chocolate here for sale. There's different knives for cutting cheese. There's truly everything here you could imagine for your gouda-filled meal. Staff was super friendly and asked if we needed any help or wanted to know more about any of the different cheeses. For sale, a lot of the goudas are pre-packaged for a pound and meets airline security measures for taking it home with you. I'm glad we stumbled upon Dutch Delicacy. We were able to try so many different cheeses, which I found a few for home. I recommend for anyone visiting Amsterdam to make a stop here; there's a lot of items you'll want to take home with you.
