In my continuous search for yummy cheesecake in the Netherlands, I made the trek to Cheesecake…read moreCompany in Den Haag. The owner is American, everything is baked fresh in-store, and they use cream cheese! They have a nice selection of interesting cheesecake flavors, such as strawberry, raspberry lime, dreamsicle, Bailey's Irish cream. We had the dreamsicle and classic Philly cheesecake. It was everything a slice of NY cheesecake should be, creamy filling with a bit of tartness and a delicious graham cracker crust. At around 4 euros for a slice, it is kind of expensive but you're not going to get another slice of better NY cheesecake unless you fly to New York. Food: 5/5 Best NY cheesecake you'll find on this side of the Altlantic. Atmosphere: 4/5 Cute cafe feel, there is outdoor seating and also free WiFi (password: cheesecake). Value: 3/5 At 4 euros for a slice, it is kind of expensive but is a great choice for a guilty pleasure.

"An appeltaart a day keeps the doctor away."…read more This is just irrefutable science (as confirmed by the medical research that I'm currently conducting). Whether you agree with this form of self-medicating or not, if you've ever sampled Dutch apple pie I'm feeling pretty confident that you'll agree that this stuff is amazing! So densely packed with cinnamon apples, this is probably the tallest slice of pie that I've ever encountered. Prepared with the tandem ingredients of cinnamon and brown sugar, I wondered if the taste would be dominated by sweetness. However, they are added in measured proportions so that each bite is harmonious and flavorful. The crumble top adds a wonderful texture, and when supplemented by a generous dollop of whipped cream, this all comes together to serve as a delicious companion to any balanced meal. My only lingering question is: I wonder if I can get my doctor to write me a daily prescription for this stuff? And that's...Henry's Take. #appeltaart

I even think the row even gave an extra dimension to our ice cream, since my friend and I got in contact with two older people who were the sweetest ever. When it was our turn I chose yoghurt and coconut ice cream. It was creamy and soft and melting on my tongue. Licking and biking my way back to West.. It was all the way yummy in my tummy!

The weather is getting warmer and the best way to celebrate that is by eating ice cream!…read more What is interesting is that they sell sorbet, italian ice, gelato and ice cream. The differences between these is what they use as the base (cream versus milk versus ice). It doesn't matter which flavor or type you get, you are in for a delicious treat. The yogurt flavor was amazingly tasty, tart and sweet. Pricing was a bit confusing but we paid €1,50 for a single scoop. When the whether is warmer, I'm definitely going to have to come back for the massive 4 scoop ones!

This little gelato shop is located right by all the museums and the artis and is the perfect place to get a scoop or two when here, as I did. I ended up getting a two scoop cone of Stracciatella and Oreo cookie and it really did hit the spot. Overall, I can really only say so much about a gelato shop but I do my best. This place has really rich and creamy gelato that has extremely good taste, enough said.

When I visited their shop yesterday I steered clear of the chocolate and stuck with the ice cream. It was pretty good! the only weird flavor they had was fig, and that had an interesting texture of fig mixed in with vanilla, and it tasted like a touch of alcohol. Everything else was pretty good, like in the top 15% of ice cream I've had here. I especially recommend the blood sinaasappel (blood orange) flavor. Delicious! The best part is there is a park around the corner where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. Warning: children might come up to you and try to scam a taste.
