They were very sweet, so one bite was enough for me, but they were hard to resist because they were so pretty. Great flavor as well! The crust was perfect Cost: Each tart was 4.5€ or about $5.20 USD. It is a higher end bakery where you pay for the look as much as the taste. Overall: We stumbled on this spot after a full breakfast and still could not help ourselves. It was worth it and I want to try more.

Served on the first floor with an upstairs loft for seating, the Chef occupying one table and a few additional patrons sipping Coffee, Tarts trend €3,50-4,50 and are highlighted by traditional Tarte Tatin with bold Caramel notes. Open from 10h00 to 18h00 daily, the Coffee fairly basic but suited to its task, Petit Gâteau's Almond Croissant is a double-baked version liberally sugared but otherwise crispy on the outside with a soft and buttery crumb.

This bakery is very close to my house so I sometimes go here to buy bread or pastries…read more Often there are pastries and meringues behind their windows and I think this always really invites me in :) The bread is nice and the pastries, cookies and cake are nice as well. They have fine croissants. I once bought some macaroons but they were quite a disappointment. Very hard, way to crunchy and the flavours weren't very good either. Your local Lidl does them way better (and way cheaper!). So come here for bread and pastries but do not buy your macaroons here :) They are a disappointment and quite expensive.

And I bake all the time, something extremely hazardous to my diet haha ...but thats also why I'm extremely critical of baked goods. Having tried several bakeries in The Netherlands I've come to the conclusion that it's extremely rare to find good cupcakes. They are either stale or the icing isn't right or just plain ol' BLAH! But that wasn't the case at VAN NESS I've been trying to eat their cupcakes for a while now. They get sold out rather quickly so one has to go sometime before 3-4pm if you want to have all the flavors. So we walked into this tiny store full of excitement and tried four different flavors of cupcakes (chocolate lava, red velvet, pistachio and chocolate vanilla) and boy o' boy was I pleasantly surprised, they were EPICALLY delicious. They were moist and full of flavor and honestly the best I've had in this country for sure! I totally understand why they are sold out before the store closes and I was so impressed to taste every flavor and their icing was divine. So yes go there, go there tomorrow! It's amazing I can't wait to try out all the flavors! Eeeeeeeee *happydance* Ps: get a free cupcake if you check in with YELP!

Van Ness is STILL at the top of my list and I thought it deserved an update since my last review…read morewas short and sweet. Cupcakes are top-notch. I know my cupcakes and have been to countless shops in the US and Europe and Vanessa's are some of the best. I love them so much I actually wrote about them on my blog! The shop is super cute and simple. Simplicity is under-rated in my opinion. You already have all the options just sitting on the counter staring at you and the prices are overhead. Another reason that I love the cupcake stands-on the counter-behind plexi glass-is that it's obvious what's still available. I'll admit, there will be a special discount or pop-up flavor and I'll be lazy and wait to go. Then she's sold out! I mean, good for her! But I can just walk in and see what flavors are left. No more asking what's in stock! Simple. Oh, and every girl I've met that works there is SO nice! I don't see the bad Dutch service that people talk about. But I can tell you that for sure you will not have bad service here! Want a smile? Just walk in and you'll get one for free ;) Just remember that they only take cards...debit or credit. No messy cash here! One of my favorite things to do is to grab a cupcake and chow down outside the store...people usually walk right on in after they see how delicious they are :)

The first time I went I had the sweetest lady helping me put. The second time I went the man helping was in the worst mood. I hope his day got better. It's extremely busy and can be a little hard to place and order if you're not quick enough. I would recommend getting your order and taking it elsewhere to enjoy.

The banatoffee seems to be one of their most popular items with a mascarpone and banana filling. Service was fast, but the line was long, what a fun, lively, atmosphere inside. They also have a variety of Matcha and coffee drinks. The mango Matcha was very tasty. The banatoffee's pastry itself I thought was a little too bread like for me, and I missed a bit of the crumble in your mouth, flaky croissant feel. For the price tag I would say nice to try, but I wouldn't make it a regular visit.

I picked up a vegetable bread which they heated up for me - cheese and vegetables stuffed in the roll was super tasty. I also picked up for later the coffee bread (raisin pinwheel) and an apple flap (apple turnover). While I was there they were busy frying up the famous oliebollen (oil balls) which are a classic winters and New Year's Eve treat in the Netherlands. I'm sure the line is out the door for New Years! Definitely coming back to try more items our next time!

My husband and I wanted to have a latte with our cookies so we came here cause its right next door and seemed cute. The woman/owner or whoever she was wouldn't serve us cause "she prefers no outside food." Look, before anyone starts lecturing me, I understand that outside food is a no-no to most establishments. But there's industry rules and then there's common sense. In business, ultimately common sense is what leads good service; all rules can be bent and everyone in business knows this! Let me make this part clear: your cafe was EMPTY. Like honey, business ain't bursting at the seams and you have only 70 reviews on Google. Please spare me the attitude. The shop is located in a market area packed with street carts and tourists, so people shouldn't be so uptight. If someone wants coffee but also has a freaking cookie, I don't get being so difficult. If I had come without a cookie, I could've still sat and ordered the latte. But because I also had a cookie, they didn't like that. Good business owners would've employed common sense and been nice Especially considering your cafe was empty. From a business standpoint: make 7 euros and get new customers OR enforce your bulls**t policies, make nothing and get a bad review.
