Traveler reviews
Eric Lawrence Lim
★★★★★a year agoI am so glad to visit this beautiful bakery. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Kindly explained the flavours of the cakes and pastries available. I ended up buying way more than expected as everything looks so delicious. The 5 cakes/ tarts that I got were simply amazing! The flavours were distinct and they were not too sweet. Texture was on point and I will definitely recommend this place to everyone. Looking forward to my next visit to Amsterdam as I will definitely go back there again. They only sell frozen croquettes now and I bought the beef and shrimp ones home. Looking forward to trying them.

★★★★★2 years agoStopped by with my Dutch family so each of us could get a slice of cake. I choose a princess cake slice. OMG. 😱 it was so excellent! We took our slices to another coffee shop to enjoy or slices. So tasty.
