My favorite flavor is still viola and it's really nice pairing that with lemon. When you go in, order at the register and they will give you a ticket to place your order at the counter to get your ice cream.

Ask for the "kiddie" size. It's just 1,50 and it's plenty, including all the usual toppings.read more

This place is basically the Chipotle of yoghurt, though without salmonella and no rush whatsoever…read more The concept is simple - take one of five types of yoghurt as your base (the thick 2% was awesome, add ingredients to your heart's content, and revel in the joy of a semi-healthy, incredibly good treat. The afternoon tea option is crazy cool - two unique yoghurt combos, two rolls, two desserts, and an unlimited cup of tea with their eight self-bag options. The tea options range from basic (Chinese Jasmine, Earl Grey) to quite unique (champagne tea, mon cheri). The option to self-bag at the table is quite fun - you can blend or try as many as you can get out of a big pot of hot water. Despite being a little bit chilly inside in winter, the restaurant is relaxed and a very nice ambiance. With comfy chairs around the back side, you might just take a nap after a nice treat. I should not fail to mention the staff who are exceptionally patient and kind, especially with newcomers to the concept. Much nicer than the somewhat less friendly staff at the crepe place across the street. Give it a shot!

I was in Haarlem for Haarlem Jazz this summer (HIGHLY recommended free event, BTW) and we took an…read moreice cream break. A friend living in Haarlem took us to Wessels's Ijs just around the corner from the V&D and I had THE MOST AMAZING ICE CREAM OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. And then I spent two months trying to remember where it was and what it was called so I could write this review. Why didn't I just ask my friend? Good question. Anyways, I was in Haarlem last week and passed it by chance and made sure to make a mental note this time. So here you have it. The ice cream to beat all ice creams. I was going to order some delicious flavor which has long since been forgotten (the guy working there let us sample, yay) and then he said, "why don't you try this one Kelsey, it's really good, I think you'll like it." Two words: LEMON CHEESECAKE. Okay and another one: OMG. It was really amazing. As I said this ice cream experience was two months ago and I still think about it on a daily basis. Sadly the shop was closed when we went by this time so I'm not sure if they open at all in the winter. If not I will pine for it until the spring/summer. Big sigh. Yum yum yum.

I even got 2 scoops on my first trip there (something I never do) because I just could not decide. I already went back within a week and still have more flavors to try. Both times I was there the line was pretty long but it moves fast, I think the longest I waited was a little under 5 minutes. No places left to sit and enjoy your ice cream? There are plenty of public benches close by.

We arrived early. But the staff totally ignored us at our table. The server even walked past us three times. And twice we requested assistance and was totally ignored. After 15 minutes we left as we had a shoet time. When I complained to the person working on the coffee bar. She had the attitude as she could care less about any issues. Emailed and got a standard reply sorry we were swamped with the film festival. But that does not explain the deliberate brush off and being ignored for other mostly female patrons. Or a family ordering coffee only. Just totally changed my opinion.
