    Located in Centrum with a ton of foot traffic Van Wonderen is considered by some to serve Amsterdam's best Stroopwafel, but with a tiny Cookie €11,50 and one the size of most others €13 the value is somewhat lost even before one enters the queue. A small space with no real traffic pattern, just a lot of guests waiting for their number to be called, staff proves pleasant while customers decide amongst seven topping ranging from Oreos and Brownies to Lotus Cookies half-dipped and unfortunately served with only basic napkins. An Instagram favorite, Pop Mart adjacent riding a similar wave, Van Wonderen's Stroopwafels are a bit thinner and more prone to breakage than competitors while the Syrup binder seems perhaps a bit sweeter in the areas not covered by Chocolate.

    One of my favorite Stroopwafels I had in Amsterdam! The store is super cute and aesthetic. The Stroopwafels freshly made and the toppings add so much flavor to it. I got one with Dutch candies and it was unlike anything I've had before. They are pretty pricey, so definitely just a one time thing, but they're delicious. Overall, great place and would go back next time I'm in the country!

    The waffles from here are very, very tasty. They're not extremely sweet, but sweet enough to satisfy. They make for a good snack or dessert.

    20 stars. Was here a few weeks ago and STILL think of my meal. Actually ended up going there two…read moremornings in a row and had zero regrets. Super small cute spot right near the water ... can get busy, but they do have a takeaway option. I had never had poffertjes before and WOW. So soft and fluffy and perfect. I got 10 the first time, and regretted it so when I went back the second tim

    This place has changed its name to The Pancake Club, but looks to be serving the same thing…read more Located right next to river and has seating outside under mostly shaded trees. We were there the day after Kings day and it was a lovely morning. The weather was cool, but not cold and we were able to enjoy the nice breeze and canal boats passing by. I was also able to connect to the WiFi from the Casino across the river. It was weak, but still worked. We were seated outside and waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came by to take our order for food and drinks. We ordered the banana crepe to share and I got a coffee while my wife ordered the pear juice. The pair juice comes from a bottle. The coffee was served in a small cup and was ok. I am used to drinking it with cream and sweetener. But Europeans don't have these items, so I just drank it with sugar. I think we waited almost 30 minutes before our food came out. Now, we only ordered crepes with bananas inside. Usually at the mall, it takes a few minutes to make crepes. I don't know how it took almost 30 minutes for them to make 1 item. Mind you, the place was not full when we came, so I don't understand how long we had to wait for our server to order our food and why it took so long for them to make our food. Once it finally came out, I thought the crepe was good, but not out of your mind fantastic. It's just basic tbh. Will I ever come back, probably not due to the wait time and the food wasn't all that great.

    IMPORTANT: CASH ONLY or debit. I was so excited to try this…read moreplace and we made our way there winding through the streets of Amsterdam. When we arrived and hiked upstairs, yes it's a hike straight up steep stairs, only to see the sign "fully booked" womp womp. HOWEVER, we asked if there was a waiting list because we didn't realize reservations are basically necessary. WE GOT LUCKY as a table was available because someone didn't show for their reservations!! We ordered the special of the day, blueberry & cream, and a bacon, cheese and apple pancake. Quickly cooked up and served and boy were they both delicious! I also didn't know it was a cash only establishment or debit card. Whom I presume was the owner was so sweet and again luckily our US credit card could be processed as debit. Saved me from having to do dish duty! Definitely a must do in Amsterdam but make a reservation and carry cash! Also to note, they only have 4 tables and if you're more than 5 minutes late for your reservation they may have given away your table!

    I've actually eaten here before and loved it . . . but this visit didn't quite go as planned…read more I brought my daughter and her friend, who has a peanut allergy, and unfortunately we couldn't eat here because they make everything with peanut oil. That said . . . the food is delicious (from my last visit), and it's such a cute, unique little spot. They're known for having just 4 tables and a 12-person max, which makes it feel super intimate and cozy. Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance . . . just skip it if you have a nut allergy!

    Lanskroon has the crisp-exterior stroopwafels - if you're looking for the soft-waffle version (that…read morebends before it breaks), I would recommend going elsewhere. I really enjoyed the buttery/shatter-y texture of the Lanksroon one - plus the honey filling is tough to beat. Not overly sweet. Worth a trip to try this out!

    4.3 and rounded up. On a drizzly Saturday afternoon in November, I stopped by Lanskroon to pick up…read moretheir version of the stroopwafel for which Amsterdam is so famously known. 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!
