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!

They make about 140 apple pies per day, so you would think that their apple pies are to die for. I thought they were good, but not spectacular (1 star off). I have had Dutch apple pie in other cafes in the area that are just as good. Service was poor. Servers were inattentive and unfriendly (1 star off). It took us awhile to get our apple pie slices, despite how many pies they make. Our server never checked on us.

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 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*

A tightly packed space, all four walls filled with delicacies ranging from handmade Chocolates and Cakes to packaged Confections, staff takes an old-time approach to hospitality by greeting each guest with warm smiles before boxing each item carefully. Far more than Pancakes and Syrup Waffles, a Baba in thick Syrup as sweet as it is boozy, fans of Canele will find Holtkamp nearly as good as those in Bordeaux with a generous crunch giving way to mellow Cake with the texture of Custard.

It's a very small shop on a very busy street so it would be easy enough to miss. That would be a mistake. You'll want to ask for the Eberhardjes cookies. If there's such a thing as an official cookie of Amsterdam, these are the ones. 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.
