בית הפנקייק in Grachtengordel-West

Delicious to the core. The team of employees worked in harmony throughtout our visit to this wonderful establishment. The menu was everything we had hoped to sample while eating breakfast in Amsterdam. The OJ was fresh as a daisy, cold as a fall afternoon and tasty as could be. Pancakes? Yummy. Bacon? Oh yes. Scrambled eggs. Tasty. The puffy pancakes? Too cute and tasty to leave any behind. The staff was constantly walking the grounds making sure all customers were being taken care of. Thank YOU The Pancake Bakery!

I had a Dutch breakfast and it was huge. Really enjoyed it, very tasty.

This is an absolute amazing cafe, the staff are so very friendly and polite. Pancake is superb. 100% don’t miss it.

I think it's a bit overpriced and overhyped. The food is okay, though the portions are huge. The staff is wonderful.

Lots of places in Amsterdam sell pancakes. Go to this one. We shared one savory and one sweet. Amazing and memorable. Along with great coffee and a scenic table by the canal? Excellent. It is a little weird sitting inches from an active street, but the food will more than distract you. And the staff is wonderfully upbeat and unafraid of the bikes, cars, and trucks. They made a fun meal better. Thanks PB!

Super cozy place with friendly staff. Pancakes are yummy and huge, so you really get a bang for your buck.

Quick service, nice staff, and get ready for a massive portion of delicious pancakes! We had the ham cheese and mushroom, and lemon and sugar. Both delicious and fulfilling (to the right point).

A great place to eat any time of day. The service is excellent, and the food is great too. They're super friendly! The atmosphere is relaxed ☺️ and the price is reasonable for the type of food. 10/10

Delicious pancakes. Wide selection of toppings. Top-notch service. Highly recommended.

We ate at The Pancake Bakery twice during our trip to Amsterdam and had a great experience both times. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and as American tourists we felt completely at ease. It also seemed very friendly toward visitors from all over the world. The pancakes were delicious, affordable, the service was kind, and it was a really enjoyable place while exploring the city. Thank you to everyone at The Pancake Bakery for making us feel so welcome during our stay in Amsterdam!

The poffertijs with honey, nuts, and mandarin is soooooooo goooooooood!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing Dutch pancakes, with a dizzying array of topping choices! Also a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Loved the food and it's variety. The staff was super helpful and made my group's trip very memorable. I particularly enjoyed tasting all their international pancakes and omelettes (my group took one of each). Though on the expensive side, I'd certainly like to visit again. The ambience was pretty good too and was able to easily accommodate 10+ people.

The savory bacon and cheese pancake was delicious, but the Dutch-style pancake was a bit too sweet for me. However, the cinnamon ice cream was quite unique.

Excellent place, delicious breakfasts with lovely touches on the dishes, and a great variety on the menu. They have a children's menu that includes a toy, which is fantastic! The atmosphere and service are top-notch.

Both "sweet" dishes and more "main course" dishes

Caprese pancakes and Canadian omelets are perfect! The plain mini pancakes are also good. The beer is reasonably priced. Thumbs up!

All good, a little cute, but excellent experience

The canalside location is stunning, the prices are very low compared to the rest of the city, and the food is delicious. The waiters are friendly and helpful.

Food was great, service was so so. The view outside makes it worth it.

A welcoming place, delicious food, and reasonable prices for the city. But the best part was the service. We had a very friendly waiter from Bilbao who gave us great advice and excellent service. The other waiters we dealt with were also very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area again.

Great place..very large pancakes.. friendly staff

My family and I had a delicious lunch here

It was absolutely delicious and also suitable for people with celiac disease. Unfortunately, a staff meeting was taking place a few tables away that morning (managers and employees were having a lively discussion and even crying), which perhaps would have been better held elsewhere. But otherwise, everything was great and the atmosphere is very nice.

Great food with super bad service and bad attitude of staff. Pity shop

Great spot to get a Dutch pancake . They were crepe like and came with caramel topping and ice cream

With a nine-year-old craving pancakes, we went here. It’s a little cheesy, but we enjoyed it. The Nutella crepe with strawberries was a favorite as was the Healthy Breakfast, which comes with a coffee drink. At the end, they gave us little candies. Service was excellent. My daughter felt like a princess!

Ok. I'm biased because I love pannenkoeken. Canadian son of immigrant parents who came from the Netherlands in the 1950's. But seriously, my daughter has never been to the Netherlands and she was absolutely floored by this place. Highly recommend.

The Dutch pancakes were just average; nothing amazing, just a typical home-style dish.

The pancake was average, the whipped cream was definitely not freshly made, the toppings were sparse. The coffee was good. The garden right by the canal.

We went mid afternoon and were lucky to get the table outside facing the canal so we could enjoy the beautiful afternoon. We got one sweet pancake, one savory pancake, and an omelette. Pancakes were giant and tasty, albeit with a slightly undercooked center. The omelette was a little dry but still delicious with fillings, and the side salad was very fresh. Service was very friendly and attentive. It really made the experience perfect!

Food was great, but the toilets were small and nasty.

Nice savoury and sweet pancakes. Clean toilets, cool staff

We were lucky enough to have lunch at one of the tables along the canal, with pancakes—huge!—and poffertjes. They were delicious, and both are available gluten-free, although contamination can't be ruled out since the cuisine is unique, but this is common at all the other pancake places I've found.

The pancake wasn't very good, but I'm glad I got to try it.

They offer vegan and gluten-free options for an extra charge. I sat in the alley and people-watched, which I really enjoyed. The poffertjes were delicious.

I came here 7 years ago and had to come back to try it again. It was just as good, even more delicious as I remember it. We had their traditional pancakes both sweet and savoury and it was plentiful and excellent. I recommend going early to get a spot by the river and if you aee lucky you will see their next door neighbour labrador who refuses to go on its walk and just stays on the ground because of the aroma from the restaurant.

Omelettes were very good and very amusing to watch made

Lovely place to enjoy the atmosphere next to the canal. Pancakes are delicious but large so suggest sharing. Both sweet and savoury options are yummy. Lovely staff and location.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a wonderful experience at the Pancake Bakery! The service was excellent, and Connie was absolutely fantastic. She recommended the traditional Dutch pancake with bacon, cheese, and apple. I have to admit, it didn’t sound like a combination I would normally choose—but it was absolutely delicious! I’m so glad we took her recommendation. The manager, Ann, was also incredibly friendly, personable, and accommodating. We had the opportunity to talk with her for several minutes about the restaurant and some of the other traditional Dutch treats they offer. She has been with the restaurant for over eight years, and it truly shows how much she cares about her job and the guests she serves. One thing that really stood out to us was the loyalty of the employees. Many of the staff members have been with the restaurant for several years, which says so much about the company and the people who work there. You can really see the pride they take in their work and the genuine care they have for their customers. Great food, excellent service, and wonderful people. We would definitely come back and highly recommend the Pancake Bakery to anyone visiting Amsterdam! 🇳🇱❤️

Lovely place to eat. Great pancakes

We came for lunch on our first day in Amsterdam and we were charmed by this little restaurant. The service was warm and the food was excellent! Thank you for your hospitality.

We waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order and at that moment someone came only because we asked. Nobody helped us with the table, nobody spoke with us, nobody gave us a menu and at the end when we told them that we did not like the way we were treated, they told us to leave. VERY RUDE!

I went to get lunch on Tuesday and it was super hot, but they made sure we could get a place outside with an umbrella, and one of the waiters even lent his fan to me. The food was great we got an American and a Canadian if I’m correct and we were both thinking to get more but one pancake is so filling. The people that worked there were really nice. They made my order wrong and I didn’t even notice it was just a different kind of ice cream but very quickly they came back with the right order and still allowed me to keep the other pancake. So if you’re looking for a good pancake place worth your money in Amsterdam as a local or as a tourist, then I would definitely suggest coming here! Ik kom zeker terug!!

***just a very thin pancake/ thicker crepe*** Write a short google review on The Pancake Bakery. Emphasize it’s essentially a crepe with more structure or a super thin American pancake. The homemade syrup was surprisingly good but not much to write home about out on everything else including the egg omelet.

Amazing food. Great pancakes. Breakfast made easy!

Lovely spot by the canal, great pancakes and really excellent service.

Good pancakes and omelets Nice decorations

It is a cute little restaurant with a wide selection of pancakes. Portions are generous and the pancakes are well cooked. The staff was quite busy, which meant we sometimes had to wait a little longer. Highly recommended overall!

Service was great. My boyfriend was really happy with his egg. I wasn't with mine; I probably just chose the wrong egg with cheese/tomato. It looked great! I wasn't very impressed with the plain pancake.

Super yummy pancakes! We loved the savory one the best!

The dining experience is nice and we came at around 5pm and lucky enough we don't need to queue. We ordered a savoury and sweet pancake with the nachos. They are yummy and my daughter love it. The waitress is very cute and she offered some candies for my daughter😃

Delicious food and incredibly friendly. The best way to start exploring Amsterdam.

Had the poffertjes and coffee Really yum! Super fast service too

Amazing pancakes for lunch or dinner. Absolutely fantastic. I'd never had them like this before. And the desserts were delicious. Highly recommended. 10 out of 10. Elaceitun ❤️

We went around 5:30 pm, there were hardly any people there. We tried the poffertjes with butter and powdered sugar and the apple tart with cinnamon ice cream and whipped cream. It was very good, especially the mini pancakes, in my opinion. We asked for water and the waitress offered us tap water, which was very cold and they didn't charge us for it. The waitress was lovely. Very quick and friendly service. It's also near the Anne Frank House.

Super friendly staff, quick service and yummy pancakes. Exactly what I hoped for and we'll be coming back again.

The main advantage of this restaurant is that they offer gluten free pancakes and poffertjes. I tried their savory pancakes and I must admit it was to greasy for me but this is only my personal opinion. I will go back to try a sweet version. However the ppffertjes were to die for. Last point, to get tap water you need to order a drink..

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

Caprese - 20 eur Canadian omelette - 17.5 eur

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!

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.

Delicious! Easily our best meal in Amsterdam

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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