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.

BBROOD ("brood", pronounced "brode", meaning "bread" in Dutch) is a chain of bakeries advertising…read morethat they only use sourdough in their breads which is great because this makes the use of raising agents redundant. In a review of Vlaamsch Broodhuys I stated: "... [sourdough bread is] the only "safe" bread i.e. there are no raising agents used in the process of making this bread. (raising agents prohibit the intake of most minerals because they form a membrane around them in your body and you flush them out of your system without absorbing them)". One of the minor symptoms of frequent consumption of regular bread is therefore fatigue. Moving on; Although the sourdough bread at Vlaamsch Broodhuys has a more authentic recipe, some of the sourdough breads at BBROOD taste much better and also considerably less sour (and thus appealing to more people perhaps). I particularly like "Spelt". A whole loaf costs €4 but in all fairness, it's roughly the same size of half a loaf of sourdough bread from Vlaamsch Broodhuys. Another great thing about this particular franchise of BBROOD is that it's even open in the weekend!!!

Winkel 43 is a legendary stop right on the corner of Westerstraat and Noordermarkt in the Jordaan,…read moreperfectly situated along the Prinsengracht canals and just a short walk from the Anne Frank House. While it functions as a cozy, traditional Dutch brown café, virtually everyone comes here for one main reason: the famous Dutch apple pie (*appeltaart*). It completely lives up to the reputation. Served warm with a massive dollop of fresh whipped cream, it's thick, perfectly spiced, and has an almost cake-like crust that sets it apart. Pairing a slice with a fresh mint tea is pretty much mandatory. Because of its status and location, it's almost always buzzing with people--especially on market days--but the staff manages the perpetual queue remarkably fast. Snagging a table on the outdoor terrace for some people-watching along the canal is hard to beat. Whether you're taking visitors around the neighborhood or just out exploring the Jordaan.

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.

A surprisingly good bakery despite being in the touristy Red Light District. Most everything I…read moretried was delicious. Though the fruit-heavy pastries were especially good. Chocolate Croissant: A very unique chocolate croissant since it was actually dipped in a rich dark chocolate. Still the same buttery flaky croissant texture underneath, which you'd expect. And I think there was a little chocolate inside too. High recommend for any chocolate lover. Timmetje: Tasted like olive bread with a lot of crisped cheese on top. Very savory. Since I bought so many sweets, this was a nice counterpoint. Appel Rozijn: Seemed like a fluffy bun with a little bit of raisins and a little bit of apple. Not that sweet. Also, not that flavorful, kinda bland. Appel Tartlettes: Meanwhile, this one is loaded with apple bits and nuts! All resting in a buttery pastry nest. Loved the intense fruit onslaught. Frambozen Pecan: I've had a lot of dessert bars in my day, but never raspberry and pecan. The flavors worked very well together. Sweet, slightly tart, a little meaty from the pecans. And the base underneath was a bit neutral to help the focus stay on the raspberry. I devoured this one very quickly.

The Apple Turnover is so worth it, calorically, monetarily, and whatever time it takes you to get here. It really is that good! I've gotten it 5 days out of 6 since we've been in Amsterdam. I can't say enough about how perfectly flaky this pastry is, and ooh those little bits of sugar atop really top it off! You can hear the crunch of every flaky layer as you bite into this. Also, just enough apples inside without overwhelming it. This is exactly like the quality of pastries I've had all over France, but never get anywhere in the entire the Bay Area, with the exception of the Kouign Amann at B. patisserie in SF. I stumbled on this bakery while wandering this popular street, which by the way has quite a few Asian restaurants, as it's nearby Chinatown (which itself is not anything to speak of at all). There's also a book written about the restaurants and shops on this street, but this is NOT a touristy spot like so so many of the bakeries in Amsterdam. It's small and quaint with quality baked goods, not massed produced pedestrian food. Although the selections are fairly limited, what they have here is high quality baked goods. They're a very bread centric bakery, which is why I'm guessing their clientele is more local. I've seen locals coming in purchasing loaves of their freshly made breads. I tried their raisin bread and there were so many sweet rainsins in every slice! If you're putting a foodie list together for Amsterdam, definitely add the Apple Turnover here to your list. And bring along a little stash of cash, as they don't accept credit cards here. I'm literally off now to get one to happily start my morning again!
