Too greasy. Bland. Nothing like our delicious crêpes in France. The place is original and friendly, and the service is genuinely warm! But the taste just isn't there. Too heavy!

Great. Bit dark inside but good food and they have a special menu for kids.

Watching the slow pace go by outside while munching on a huge pancake, lovely! Great service, delicious food. My first savoury pancake! Good value as well.

Taiwanese people should avoid ordering pancakes with bacon, as they are extremely salty. Sweeter versions or those with onions and ham are much better recommended.

After visiting Anne Frank, this was the perfect place to go. Around 11 am, it was early lunchtime, so it wasn't crowded. It started to get busy when we left. They had bacon, which was a bit salty. Overall, the food was worth trying. The prices were reasonable. Most importantly, there were free restrooms.

Good value for money, canalside table. Perfect.

Absolute highlight of the day! Delicious pancakes in a wide variety. Creative combinations, but also flexible enough for individual orders. Friendly staff. Great view of the canal. AMAZING! We'll be back. 🥰

This is our first time visiting the Netherlands from Taiwan, and today is our last day in Amsterdam. A friend recommended trying the Dutch waffles, and they were really delicious!

All round good for a light bite or something more substantial!

Really good pancakes, probably one of the best i ever had. Staff was kind and polite.

The food was good. Once you finally get a table, the service is excellent. Please clean the restrooms more often. Two restrooms for such a large sales area was really pushing it.

Tried some traditional Dutch pancake. The pancake was light and savory toppings tasted great with a little syrup. Cosy atmosphere - perfect place for brunch.

How could you travel to the Netherlands and not try the authentic pancake? After searching online, I found The Pancake Bakery in Amsterdam. Knowing it was a popular shop, I was prepared to wait in line. Luckily, the wait was only short when I went. I ordered a savory pancake (chicken, pineapple, and cheese filling). Although it's called a pancake, the texture felt more like the thin pancakes back home. I highly recommend this shop when traveling to Amsterdam!

Very large and tasty pancake. I tried the Chilean-style pancake and it was very good (but very large). Good atmosphere.

We were recommended this place by our guide and we loved it. The food was delicious and plentiful. 100% recommended

Caprese - 20 eur Canadian omelette - 17.5 eur

The staff were so kind and accommodating, they found me a table right by the canals. If you’re looking to have a delicious pancake breakfast with a great view this is definitely the place.

Beautiful place, brings an authentically old time vibe and the service was super extra. However the food was not my thing, apparently pancakes in Amsterdam look like crepes, not only there but in many places we visited, and the food overall felt a bit heavy. And my espresso tasted a bit burned, maybe they have not cleaned the machine in a while. Preference of course. I would go again but order something else.

The Pancake Bakery is nestled in a side road of Amsterdam a short walk from the Anne Frank House. It looks unassuming from the outside but is filled with charm, and you can even sit alongside the canal outside if the weather permits! We really enjoyed our pancakes. We got the Dutch and Norwegian pancakes, and the Dutch breakfast. The pancakes had a texture similar to crepes, and were generously topped with delicious fillings. The wait staff was as very kind, and knowledgeable, especially with dietary restrictions as one of our party couldn’t have cinnamon. Our waitress made sure to specify that they had an open kitchen. We really enjoyed our experience, and next time we visit Amsterdam we are likely to come back!

Nothing amazing. Kind of dark dungeon inside but still cute & decent food.

Delicious! Easily our best meal in Amsterdam

Pancakes were yummy, good selection but very overpriced. 20 euros for a pancake - ouch! Was not outdoor weather so sat inside and was very dark and dingy vibe- need some light. But good location and selection. They also had gluten free mix which is why I went. Also you could only get tap water if you bought another drink which I felt was unfair.

Pancakes to die for. The portion was enough for at least two people.

I cannot stop thinking about the ham, cheese, and onion pancake. It was so insanely good. We got that along with the banana Nutella pancake, which was also very yummy. The restaurant has a great cozy atmosphere and the staff is super friendly.

Staff were very helpful however an extremely hot day. All customers sitting inside were shoehorned into one side making it tight and extremely hot while the other half was empty and considerably cooler. Had my first savoury pancake, should have stuck to the sweet option.

Sat outside. Ordered the Dutch pancake - realized cinnamon ice cream isn't my thing. But otherwise delicious food.

Total tourist trap - the most disgusting meal in a while. Just tasteless with bad texture. Waiter was also so rude when we tried to ask for the bill. Save your time and do not come here.

If you’re visiting Amsterdam, you have to try a traditional Dutch pancake, and The Pancake Bakery is a great place to do it. The pancakes were absolutely delicious, with plenty of options to choose from. Even though it’s a popular spot, we were seated quickly, and there was plenty of room inside. Friendly service, great food, and an easy, relaxed atmosphere made for a wonderful family meal. Definitely worth a visit while you’re in Amsterdam.

Wonderful food and service, lights are a but dimmed inside but its a decent atmosphere. Recommend to try Caprese pancake.

Ordered the Dutch pancake. Perfectly delicious and had a nice crunch even on the top. Yummers! Don't order a full pancake if you're not hungry, cuz they're massive.

Very tasty food, we go back there every few days🙂

Really lovely dine. Great atmosphere, super accommodating in the hot weather, pretty decent pricing and lovely alcohol. We had proffertjes! Good selection of free syrups (loved the stroopwafel caramel and honey).

The pancakes are incredible. Whatever your taste, they have the flavour you’re after. Really friendly place!

This was one of the worst experiences I have had in Amsterdam. Extremely bad service, staff was super rude and I live in the Netherlands so this was not typical Dutch straight forwardness. I don’t recommend.

Great food, service and atmosphere!

Great pancake it was exactly how I expected it yo be I was not disappointed at all

Came here with my fiancée when we were on our engagement trip. Food was amazing along with the service/staff! The portions of the pancakes are huge but as always delicious!

The mushroom and sweet crepes were very large and delicious, the staff were friendly and the service was fast.

The server Ella spoke perfect English and was very kind and helpful. I got the bacon, cheese and onion pancake, as well as the cherry mini pancakes, and everything was amazing. Perhaps the best pancakes I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend and go there again.

Excellent selection of pancakes. Fast, friendly service; charming building situated below street level; unfortunately, the rooms are a bit dark.

I've eaten here twice now several years apart and I think of it very fondly. Just delicious for savory or sweet.

The ambiance and concept of the place are truly wonderful; a lovely atmosphere greets you as soon as you enter. However, the pancake tasted below my expectations; they weren't much different from homemade ones, but the price is excessively high given its popularity. Moreover, the portion size and quantity become quite heavy after a while, tiring to eat. Sharing one pancake between two people would be a much more sensible choice in terms of both portion size and enjoyment.

Delicious food every time. We stop by the pancake bakery every time we come to Amsterdam. It's not too expensive by Amsterdam standards but the pancakes are always delicious whether you have savoury (I had the Indonesian inspired chicken satay) or sweet (my partner had something covered in chocolate and cream) and you will be full at the end. Love it. Absolute must when visiting amsterdam

The pancakes and homemade wine were delicious, but when I asked for the bill, it took a long time to bring it. Then I noticed that the payment terminal had tip buttons from top to bottom: 10%, 15%, 20%, Custom, and No thanks. If they want tips, they should include them in the price. It can cause arguments after you've paid.

This was my first time trying Dutch pancakes. They taste like crepes, but flatter. We ordered the classic one with sweet strawberries, and the outdoor seating by the river was the best part.

My cat's burp tastes better than the filling of my pancakes.

Excellent pancakes friendly personnel

They had a wide variety of delicious pancakes, and the friendly service made it a very comfortable place to be.

These Dutch pofferties are my absolute favorite! 😍 They're so chewy and delicious! 🥹🥹🥹 And the atmosphere inside is so cozy! It perfectly matches the description of a brown cafe in the Netherlands in the book *Finding the Key to Global Happiness*. 🤎 POFFERTJES Dutch Pofferties €11.5 (approx. NT$413) Brazilian pofferties with walnut ice cream, mocha sauce, amaretto and whipped cream This flavor is amazing! 😋 Hot Fresh Ginger Tea 🫚 €4 ​​(approx.

The food is incredibly delicious!!! We got a table right away around 8 pm, the service was friendly, and the food arrived quickly. But be warned: the portions are huge!

We've been there twice now and the food was delicious each time. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is very friendly. Thank you!

The portions were generous, so even though I was a man eating alone, I felt full. It did get a little cloying, though.

The food exceeds expectations, though prices are a little on the higher side. The outdoor seating offers a great atmosphere, but the customer service is barely hitting the mark.

Quick service once you are in. A bit of waiting time of you don't have reservation.

We arrived around 10:45 on Monday morning. We didn't have to wait in line as there were empty tables outside. We ordered ham & cheese and banana & Nutella. The portions were quite large and filling. I think the pancakes were also very good.

It's decent, you can skip the queue if needed. The portions are very large.

The chicken, cheese, and mushroom one was pretty good. It had a bit of a batter-like omelet feel to it. There was a good amount of cheese and chicken, and the chicken was sliced. Because there was so much cheese, it would be too greasy to eat on its own, so you can add chili. The staff were very friendly. One serving is about enough for one person; two people can have one sweet and one savory.

The food was average and nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing and affected the overall experience. One of the biggest frustrations was the ordering process. We were told that one of the ladies could not take our order because she works in the kitchen, yet all staff were dressed the same. As customers, we had no way of knowing who could or could not take orders. This created unnecessary confusion and made it difficult to find someone to assist us. The restaurant seemed disorganized, and we often struggled to get attention when we needed something. A clearer system and better customer service would significantly improve the experience.

By far the BEST pancakes I have had in my life. Great staff and GREAT pancakes both savory and sweet. Went twice in the same week and I wish I could have it everywhere I go!

The loveliest service. I was a solo traveller which always makes me nervous how people treat me. But the server was super kind and helpful, I enjoyed that there was outdoor seating which was peaceful and by the water. The food too was good! A good portion of pancake. It’s a crepe style pancake if that’s what you like. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you!

The food was okay, but nothing special. A total tourist trap.

Excellent service. Generously portioned dishes.

Expensive for a crepe; 18-20 euros per piece; tastes good, worth trying, but is it worth it? You decide; I think you can have better experiences at this price.

Good food, but quite a dark setting inside.

We had to wait outside even though there were many tables free. The staff were wandering around a bit lost. The pancake with the different batter was fine. The extra charge was a bit on the high side.

A delicious meal. It's true that the prices are high, especially for drinks. We had two savory dishes, and the ingredients were very well combined; the specialty dishes are highly recommended. We also had the typical Amsterdam dessert with stroopwafels, and it was incredible.

Besides cheese and fries, the Netherlands is also a pancake kingdom. Although I don't usually eat these kinds of foods, since I've come all this way, I had to try them anyway 😋 I found a well-known and highly-rated restaurant, The Pancake Bakery 🥞 I ordered one sweet and one savory. The sweet one was Poffertjes, Dutch mini pancakes. These are traditional Dutch desserts, bite-sized pancakes. They're a bit like Taiwanese sponge cakes, but rounder and smaller. Although they didn't look very appealing, with the honey and powdered sugar 🍯, they weren't too sweet, and had a chewy, bouncy texture—surprisingly quite delicious. The savory one... I ordered the bacon and egg pancake. When it arrived, it looked like a giant bacon and egg omelet. The crust had a slightly crispy texture. 🥓 The bacon was extremely salty; you absolutely have to eat it with the egg and crust. But after a while, it became a bit too salty. 🙊 If you usually prefer milder flavors, you might want to pair it with a beer or a soft drink, or alternate between sweet and salty. Otherwise, you won't be able to finish it. 🧂 Conclusion: Worth a try if you're passing by; the staff is quite friendly! Poffertjes: You can try the original flavor; Ant Man (a popular Taiwanese dessert shop) can add chocolate. 🍫 Pancake: Order according to your preference; the bacon is quite salty, so consider your taste. - IG follow 👉🏻 travel_naomi

Hey the Poffertjes and enjoy one of the best parts of Holland :-)

Excellent!!! And a great variety of both sweet and savory options. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended if you want a hearty lunch to fuel your morning out and about.

Super delicious and definitely recommended if you're staying here. Very pleasant service too.

This is a must when visiting Amsterdam. I had the Indonesian pancake and it was very filling and incredibly delicious. Many menu options, including traditional Dutch pancakes, minis. Not to expensive, however, worth the price. This place is very busy, but the service is good.

While you're in Amsterdam, you might want to spend your breakfast elsewhere. The food and atmosphere are mediocre. Some of the waiters are a bit too snooty.

Tourist trap, avoid. After buying mediocre food at outrageous prices €€€ , to be told by a rude waitress when requesting plain tap water -"You need to order drinks off the menu for me to serve you tap water"...! It adds insult to injury. Avoid, unless you want to lighten your wallet for rude service.

great place, a bit pricey but definitely don’t regret it

Good place for pancakes. English menu available. Credit card accepted. Both of the pancakes that I ordered tasted good. When i come back alone, it will be hard to decide to order the savoury or sweet pancakes. Highly recommended

Great place, fantastic pancakes, lovely and friendly staff 😋 . Also, they were playing great music 🎶 thank you for having us!

The service was very good, but there are better places for pancakes. The food did not live up to expectations.

Good experience. A unique and welcoming place. Pleasant background music. Friendly service. Food: Generous portions, but be aware: These are crêpes, not pancakes. Dishes can be customized upon request.

Tips are required, but water isn't free. The food isn't bad. I've heard the Dutch eat a lot of pancakes, so I think it's worth a try.

I love this place so much, and in fact, it's always a stop at least once, if not multiple times, when we're in Amsterdam. The pancakes, both sweet and savory, are truly delicious, and the staff is super friendly! I'd like to give a special shout-out and thank you to Norman, who, in addition to speaking fluent Italian, made my guests' birthdays truly special! Thank you so much ❤️I'll always be back ☺️

We went here because of the Google reviews and, to be honest, it didn't disappoint. It's definitely worth a try. The pancakes were very well done, tasty, and original. The waiters were very friendly. Cool atmosphere. I was a little surprised by the price; I expected to spend less.

The ambience, the food and the service are top notch and they are really friendly. Really the pulled pork pancake made my day.

Very friendly staff, nice environment, and very good food. This restaurant really deserves for 5star good comment.

If you're in the mood for delicious pancakes and are looking for friendly service staff, this is the place to go.

Warm ambiance, friendly staff, and great Dutch pancakes at reasonable prices.

Nice interior. I really liked special sweet pancake, but overall the pancakes aren’t the best for value. Could make this myself.

One of the recommended places for pancakes in Amsterdam. It is a kind of crepe with toppings. Very tasty. Not cheap

My second visit to the Dutch restaurants! Delicious, I'll definitely eat there again! One of the male staff members is always so cute ❤️ and very welcoming.

The place isn't very big, but it's quite comfortable and welcoming. The staff is professional. The pancakes are quite large, which is to be expected given their high price. They were pretty good, but you might find them cheaper elsewhere.

🥞 A fantastic restaurant in Amsterdam, a must-visit, serving legendary pancakes! Despite being one of the city's most popular spots, it's managed to maintain its quality and friendliness. Our experience was truly delightful. 📕 The Pancake Bakery, located in a historic canal house, is a cozy spot that instantly draws you in with its warm atmosphere. The menu is truly packed with a wide variety of pancakes: from classic Dutch pancakes to more modern, creative, and sweet/savory combinations, there's something for every palate. 🍽️ The food was incredibly delicious. The pancake batter was light, the flavors were balanced, and the fillings were incredibly fresh. The fruit in the sweet pancakes was incredibly fresh, while the savory ones had incredibly satisfying combinations. I highly recommend trying something from the "house specials." 😊 The service is both friendly and surprisingly fast. Even during busy hours, the staff is very organized. We were particularly pleased with the quick delivery of our orders and the attentiveness to our table. 🚶‍♀️ The location is very central, just steps from the Anne Frank House. Being located by the canal, the surroundings are also very pleasant. 💶 The prices are a bit high compared to the Amsterdam average, but the portion sizes and delicious flavors definitely make up for it. It's especially ideal for breakfast or a sweet treat. 📝 Note: It's a busy place, so you might encounter a line, especially on weekends. Online reservations aren't available, so it's best to plan ahead before going.

Tried ham, cheese and mushroom pancake with a nice chilled beer for brunch... it was delicious, great ambience too :)

Rustic vibes with cool artwork and the restaurant has been around since 1973. The food is very flavorful but it's a thin pancake so it wasn't the most filling (if your on a budget you might want to look for a meal elsewhere, but otherwise it's worth it if you're not a big eater). Other thing I found a bit strange was they wouldn't give you tap water unless you order something else to drink.

Very flavorful and a great portion size. I got the apple cinnamon pancake and I would highly recommend!!

I love Dutch muffins; they're both sweet (from powdered sugar) and oily (from butter). The onion soup was also fantastic.

I arrived around 10 AM and was seated immediately without waiting in line. I ordered one sweet and one savory traditional Dutch pancake. The sweet one was banana with Nutella sauce. They gave a generous amount of sauce; one was very filling for one person.

Even the simple pancake with just sugar was delicious—thin, slightly crispy on the edges, and just right. You can tell they know what they're doing; every detail was perfect. The coffee was strong and piping hot, the perfect way to round things off. The service was fast but remained friendly, even when it was busy. The interior had a classic and warm feel, with wooden beams and candlelight. A true Amsterdam favorite where quality always remains consistent.

They're more like crêpes than pancakes. Personally, they were delicious! You can choose between sweet and mild to suit your taste. The space is spacious. The staff was very friendly. The tea was a bit plain. Please show the tip screen after paying. Bathroom use is 0.50 euros. It's near Anne's House, so it's a good place to stay if you're nearby.

Lovely place. Really could use a couple of vegan options. But the staff was fabulous.

A definite recommendation in Amsterdam! If you're in the mood for savory pancakes and a lovely atmosphere, this is the place to go. We'll definitely eat here again when we're back in Amsterdam.

Their savory pancakes was perfect to share with mi lady and the French onion soup warms your soul.
