Pretty good ice cream for a really good price, got a three scoop cup for a decent price. Yes, I am a fan. Especially for getting ice cream in a pinch!

If you like Magnum you will probably really like this place! I am not the biggest fan of Magnum but I still wanted to try this. At this place you can actually create your own Magnum. You will choose the chocolate and they will dip your plain ice-cream into the melted chocolate of your choice. Then you can choose 3 toppings for your Magnum. There are many options to choose from like dried fruits, cookie crumbles, meringue pieces, even dried flowers and much more. They will decorate your Magnum with a bit extra chocolate sauce of your choice, then make a picture of it which they will post on their website with your name and you're done! Enjoy your own personal Magnum! I really liked to do this. I decorated my Magnum with dried raspberries, dried flowers and meringue pieces. It tasted okay, nothing to write home about but not bad either. Just like a Magnum with a twist. The flowers were a bit dry haha, but I could have expected that by looking at them while I choose my toppings. Well, I think this is certainly a fun place to try out! It is really an experience. The staff is also very friendly, helpful and excited. And the shop is just lovely. Very nice decorations. In the back there are even a few Fatboys to chill on.

Judging by other photos, this looks to be the same Magnum store we went to. I hope?…read more We first encountered Magnum ice cream last year in Budapest and Loved it! After dinner at a steak house, we wandered to this fantastic spot. We were lucky as they were about to close! The ice cream is great, the guy helping us was fun and fantastic, and you really get to create the bar you want. (For me, that mainly meant caramel. For my hubby, it meant a drizzle of white chocolate and purple flowers....) He complained that I, "ate more of the ice cream bar than normal." - Well duh! It's vanilla coated in chocolate with CARAMEL! A fun experience and really good ice cream - what's not to love?

A nice place and definitely nicely decorated with mosaic tiles and different places to sit, both inside as well as outside. There is loads of flavours of icecream: from the normal banana, vanilla and chocolate to lemon cheesecake and stroopwafel. Prices are ok, 1 scoop €1,50. The only minus (and therefore 4 instead of 5 stars) was the not too friendly lady behind the counter. It might have not been her day, it just seemed she was not enjoying her job. Too bad selling such nice ice creams!

I even think the row even gave an extra dimension to our ice cream, since my friend and I got in contact with two older people who were the sweetest ever. When it was our turn I chose yoghurt and coconut ice cream. It was creamy and soft and melting on my tongue. Licking and biking my way back to West.. It was all the way yummy in my tummy!

The differences between these is what they use as the base (cream versus milk versus ice). It doesn't matter which flavor or type you get, you are in for a delicious treat. The yogurt flavor was amazingly tasty, tart and sweet. Pricing was a bit confusing but we paid €1,50 for a single scoop. When the whether is warmer, I'm definitely going to have to come back for the massive 4 scoop ones!

"An appeltaart a day keeps the doctor away."…read more This is just irrefutable science (as confirmed by the medical research that I'm currently conducting). Whether you agree with this form of self-medicating or not, if you've ever sampled Dutch apple pie I'm feeling pretty confident that you'll agree that this stuff is amazing! So densely packed with cinnamon apples, this is probably the tallest slice of pie that I've ever encountered. Prepared with the tandem ingredients of cinnamon and brown sugar, I wondered if the taste would be dominated by sweetness. However, they are added in measured proportions so that each bite is harmonious and flavorful. The crumble top adds a wonderful texture, and when supplemented by a generous dollop of whipped cream, this all comes together to serve as a delicious companion to any balanced meal. My only lingering question is: I wonder if I can get my doctor to write me a daily prescription for this stuff? And that's...Henry's Take. #appeltaart

They don't have a place to eat the pizzas inside, so you have to get it as take-away or for delivery. The pizzas themselves were completely average. I had the anchovy and capers pizza and found it to be too salty. I like salty food so that's saying a lot. My husband had the pineapple and ham pizza. That was also completely average. If there was anywhere else to get pizza, I would try that place instead. There are so many average pizza places in Amsterdam. This one just blends in with the rest of them.
