Amsterdam, Netherlands…read more You can't leave Amsterdam without trying a stroopwafel. While walking through the old town, I stumbled upon this place - yay, since my daughter had asked me to bring some back. They didn't have the variety available, so I went with a plain stroopwafel that came in a musical tin. Wow! That was a fun and unexpected touch. I find the prices of the fresh Stroopwafels pricey so I didn't get one. The salesperson was friendly and spoke good English, which made the experience pleasant. It wasn't busy during the said visit. Inside is pretty quaint adorned with a lovely chandelier. Enjoy a Stroopwafel.

They have a few options for cold sandwiches. They have some amazing baked products too. I had the sandwich with cheese. This was French bread with cold pieces of cheese. You could opt to add ham. I also had the sandwich that had cheese in fig and nut bread. The cheese was delicious. The bread was good. I really did wish it was toasted. The stars of the show is their baked products. The scone was superb.

Solid smaller pastries. Had the pain au chocolat which was small but had an adequate amount of…read morechocolate inside. Had the apple tart also which was flavorful and not too sweet. Definitely no artificial flavors or added sugars like in America. Cappuccino was average and on the smaller side. Overall, good place to get breakfast or pastries if you are in the area. Baker is downstairs.

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*

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!

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.

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.
