Sugar & Spice Bakery

I had a coworker of Dutch descent who would always bring prepackaged stroopwaffles to work. He…read morewould drop a few off on our desks and for him, they were the best things in the world. 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!

Service was very quick considering it's fresh! The stroopwafel was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle, with warm, gooey caramel that paired so well with the fresh strawberries. The combination was simple but the quality of the ingredients are top notch.

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*

The best pastries! Small, snug, cozy spot to enjoy a nice pot of tea and a delicious pastry.read more

My breakfast included a large glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, toast, perfectly-cooked scrambled eggs with gouda cheese, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, a warmed fresh pastry, and a large cappucino for about €17. This neighborhood is packed with bars, clubs, restaurants, and coffeeshops and young people who party late into the night. I think we were the first customers to show up when they opened for business at 9:00 AM on Sunday. The two girls that run it were a little bleary-eyed, but got it together for us even though the Rembrantplein was deserted at that hour like a ghost town.

The counter was packed with beautiful looking, freshly baked European breakfast pastries. Two cappuccinos, two raisin snails and two little tarts stuffed with almond paste were more than enough...

It's a wonderful place for a quick snack or a delicious start to the day.

Nothing fancy, just good food at reasonable prices. The employees were helpful in assisting us in picking from the many broodjes (sandwiches with meat/cheese, no or little veg) on offer. We ended up eating an omelet broodje just about every morning, along w/ a nice koffie verkeerd (latte). They have a machine that makes fresh-squeezed OJ, lots of lovely pastries (gebak), good koffie (euro-coffee, like espresso rather than a grande brewed coffee from Starbucks), and savory sandwiches as well. I tried the tuna salad one day, it was pretty yummy. Lots of locals are constantly streaming in and out of this place for bread. Anyway, if you are staying in the Jordaan neighborhood and are looking for breakfast, lunch, bread, etc., try this spot.

Fresh made food and great bread. Good coffee helps in a morning :-)

So delicious, fresh, and definitely popular since they didn't have it on days when I stopped in after 12pm. The cookies were also amazing. Tried a bunch of flavors, and every one was on point. The waffle, however, was the best thing I've eaten in Amsterdam all week. Had to go with the chocolate covered version, and it did not disappoint. The waffle was fresh, covered in powered sugar first and then amazing, rich chocolate that melted in your mouth/ hands and the combination was just divine. I will definitely be back, just for this, but next time after a long jog.
