As a fan of both chewy/soft or alternatively crispy cookies, I appreciated the crunch on honingwafel that contrasted with its gooey center. Walking into around 2pm the bakery was steadily busy though didn't feel excessively crowded. A couple customers or groups would trickle in at a time, there were two people in line in front of me, perfect for me to take in the options and decide what to get. There are about 5-6 smaller cafe tables set up for about 2-3 people each, not a place for larger groups. The staff (woman at the counter), was friendly and helpful when I asked about the differences in the wafels, her recommendations, and what some of the other baked goods were. I was very curious about the gember køek and she said that was her favorite in the store. So I got: - honingwafel €3.60: as mentioned above crispy cookies with a honey syrup center. I'm kinda curious what this consisted of since it tasted less sweet than only honey itself. Level of sweetness is probably 6 or 7 out of 10. I ate it by itself and thought it would go well with some coffee or tea. As you're eating a little of the syrup may be squeezed out of the sandwich at the edges so take care. As they sold more, I saw fresh cookies being prepared on the side. - gember køek €3.20: as a ginger lover, I couldn't say no to this one; it's an almond cookie covered on top with chunks of candied ginger. A softer crumb, the ginger pieces were very sweet, cloyingly so that after eating about half (on a separate day than the wafel) I wish I had a cup of black coffee in the moment. - speculaasbrokken €5.50: crispy speculos cookies (think those bischoff ones they serve on Delta flights also widely available in US grocery stores now), but house-made and with almond slivers on top. I found them slightly less dense and with a texture similar to a crunchy graham cracker. I'm curious about their black current and poppyseed pastries, and would gladly drop by again to try these!

The decorations are absolutely beautiful and it was such an aesthetic place! We ordered the French breakfast which came with a croissant, brioche and baguette slices, assorted jams, coffee, and juice. This was definitely enough to share between two people if you're not used to large breakfasts, but apparently this is typically only for one. The croissant was fresh and flaky and the other breads were good too but nothing to spectacular. The jams however, were great - I really loved the raspberry one but the lemon was good too. Service was really friendly, and they let us upgrade the coffee to a mocha for less than one euro. Overall, it was a great start to the day!

For me, they were some kind of strange thin crispy cracker with a layer of caramel. Nothing great. So when I saw this "freshly made" stroopwaffle store I had to stop in and see if I was really missing something. Yes, yes I was. These are downright delicious. They make them on the spot and you get it warm with the center slightly gooey. It's nothing short of amazing. I ate mine and most of another one my friend didn't want to finish (not that she didn't love it - she's trying to stay away from sugar). It's a good thing I don't live in Amsterdam as I would want to stop here all the time. I apologized to my Dutch friend and shared that I was a convert. He heartily agrees fresh made are best. If you're near, go get one... or two!

The combination was simple but the quality of the ingredients are top notch.

While walking through the old town, I stumbled upon this place - yay, since my daughter had asked me to bring some back.

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.
