Post dinner dessert - recommended by several friends. We arrived around 7pm on a Tuesday. Place was…read morefull up. Waited a few minutes for table. Not sure what else is on the menu as we just ordered apple pie with whipped cream. A single slice is plenty for two people. It is not overly sweet, the crust is really good (a slight taste of Biscoff cookies to me), and it has a few raisins in it as well. It was a nice night nice so we sat outside. The patio is large and seats plenty. The service is good, not great, but I was okay with it. My needs were meager - get my pie! N*joy!

There was a long line and a pretty long wait when we went. The place was fully packed, with both…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. I'd say about 95% of the people were ordering the apple pie, so of course we had to get one to see what the hype was about. The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.

just how good can a cookie be? and they only sell one type…read moreof cookie? and there's always a queue out through the door? having not been back to amsterdam for years, i decided to brave a trip there to find out since it came highly recommended by folks in sg and was also confirmed to be good by my dutch yelper(ex) friend, kim! easily accessible location, guided there by friendly local, only threatening skies and a feeble rain dampened the mood slightly on our walk there. nonetheless, spotting a not so long queue strengthened our spirit and lengthened our strides. the queue was also pretty quick with many friendly counter staff waiting to greet and meet you! in any case, the only real decision you need to make is how many piece(s) you would like to have! and then how you want it packed? i merely chose the max number that the pretty tin box can fit, easy, peasy. easy reheating instruction was also included. then just pay and go or have one cookie on the spot? it will definitely hit the spot! even though the cookies have travelled with me half the world for more than half a day, a quick pop in the oven brought it back to glory. even crispier on the outside and yet still as moist and baby soft within! one bite and you will be convinced to traverse back there again! although i still cannot pronounce your name, what i can is remember your game!

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*

Named for the late mayor, they're delicious and perfect to bring home because of the "XXX" baked into them, the symbol of the city.
