Winkel 43 in Jordaan

We stopped by to pick up a couple apple pie slices to-go and they were fast & friendly. The pie is absolutely delicious and worth the trip

The best apple pie I have ever eaten. The pastry tastes like a cross between normal pastry and gingernut biscuits. It crumbles in your mouth!

There were two lines for here or to go , such a hot pie , so tasty ☺️

Wow!! What do I say about this place, 15 mins walk from Dam Square along beautiful canals on the way, this place stole our hearts. The ambience 10/10 but most importantly the Apple Pie, this is just too too good!! We went twice in 4 days, the staff is amazing, it gets pretty full always but they have a lot of seats in and out. The other thing we would surely recommend is the Ginger Tea.

It never disappoints. It gets very crowded, but the service is fast and there are plenty of tables. The pie is AMAZING. It's worth the wait.

Dirty tables, personnel not so friendly

The apple pie is delicious, and with Koffie verkeerd Dutch coffee, it gives a lovely Dutch breakfast experience. I chose to sit outside and watch the people as they passed by. The atmosphere was calm and warm.

A long queue formed early in the morning. The apple pie was undeniably delicious—soft apples with whipped cream, enough to eat every day. But how are people supposed to drink hot coffee from this kind of cup? I'm really puzzled.

It's a very nice cafe for breakfast and dessert. Finding a table has become a bit easier with the newly opened area. Their apple tart and coffee are quite good. They also have options for breakfast.

The apple tart was, needless to say, fantastic. It was quite large, and when we said we'd share it among three people, they quickly brought us extra plates and said that was a good idea. We went first thing in the morning, so we didn't have to wait in line and got in right away. The street was lovely, and the outdoor seating was fantastic. The cake was packed with apples. Many people were also having breakfast.

Incredible Apple pie and coffee! Very busy spot (which shows how good it is), and I was so glad a local recommended this place for us to try!

I don't think the dessert is anything extraordinary. It's basically a classic apple and cinnamon cake. I didn't have it with cream because I think it would be too heavy. The cake isn't on the menu; you have to order it separately. The coffee is good. Because it's quite busy, the service can be a little slow. The coffee is good. Since the place gets quite busy, the service can be a little slow.

We had apple pie and coffee. It took so long for them to bring it to us. The forks and teaspoons were dirty! We asked them to bring us another set, but they totally ignored us.

Stopped here for coffee and cake. The Basque cheesecake is really good, with a creamy texture and a light cheese flavor coming through the pastry. The apple pie was also tasty, but I think Café Corazon in Amersfoort is better in terms of proportion and taste.

Perhaps my expectations were too high; there weren't any particular surprises or wow factor. Overall, it was above average. The apple tart, the most representative item, was indeed delicious—sweet but not cloying, and the portion was quite generous.

The fried egg sandwich was very tasty, as was the Caprese toastie; the shop tea is also highly recommended.

The atmosphere is lovely, but I think their famous apple pie is overrated. It tasted good, but it's not a must-have.

Apple pie inhuman service a little less

Unfortunately, only one star! We waited 30 hours and no one bothered to take our order! Therefore, only one star for service!

A pleasant stop after a good walk along the canals. We sampled Dutch specialties in a lively Friday night atmosphere.

better than that one place in japan that claimed to have the best apple pie in the world

Very very popular location. Right next to Waterloopin market (I think that was the name) people were nice! Almost no seats available we got lucky.

Considering the price of a cake and two coffees in Korea, I thought it was great value for money even though it is a crowded shop in a tourist area like this in the Netherlands, and the taste was, of course, good.😍 I recommend visiting.

Came for the apple pie and it was fantastic! Very impressive amount of apples and the pie has a nice crust. Paired with their whipped cream it was delicious. Not too sweet which I appreciated it with a good amount of cinnamon.

Nice place just at the market. Chill and calming

My first time having apple pie for breakfast, I thought it would be too rich but it was incredibly delicious. The pie wasn't too sweet; the natural sweetness of the apples inside combined with the richness of the whipped cream. The coffee was also quite good, and the cost for breakfast was very reasonable.

The apple pie with cream was absolutely delicious! It was served fresh and still warm, and was truly one of the most delicious cakes we've ever eaten. Highly recommended. The coffee was also exceptionally good, wonderfully aromatic, and absolutely top-notch in flavor. The combination of warm apple pie and coffee was perfect. 🍎🍰☕

I've been wanting to try this apple pie shop for ages! 🍎 Finally got to eat it in Amsterdam! So delicious! Sweet and tart apples + flaky pastry crust 🥧 And the thickness is just right. The apple filling is amazing! Full of apple chunks, so high-quality ingredients! Although they added a huge dollop of whipped cream, it went perfectly with the apple pie. Surprisingly, it wasn't too greasy at all!

Honestly speaking, their Apple pie is fair. Definitely not the best as the hype about this place. You can almost not taste the spices. It’s edible and fair but not wow at all. Coffee is good. Staff are helpful and quick

Great appletaart and food, Service is a bit slow during peak time

The pie is good but the service is awful. The place is crowded and the staff are rude.

Great apple pie and cappuccino!

Despite good staff attitude the food was cold and took

It was my first time trying this classic Dutch apple pie at Winkel 43! 🥧 🍏 I’m totally blown away! 🤯 I’m sold. It’s very good! 👍🏻 The hype is totally warranted. Exceptional. 🌟

One of the best apple pies I've had in Amsterdam because they're fresh.

I found the best place and food of my Amsterdam vacation here. The apple tart is amazing. The prices are very reasonable. Thank you.

Very cozy. Good apple pie. Friendly service.

We got it at 10 PM because the atmosphere there was awful, and we ate it 5 minutes after receiving it. Honestly, it was below average. The apples were very bitter, the dough crumbled, and the cream was cheap. They're way overcharging; it's not worth it at all.

The outdoor dining area doesn't have a long wait. The apple pie is the only recommendation—it's absolutely delicious! ♡ The pumpkin soup is also very rich. But the apple pie is definitely the most worthwhile dish to order! 😍

We recommend a visit to Winkel 43 if you're in Amsterdam and don't forget to get their famous apple pie....Great coffee and food, friendly service and wonderful ambience.

They're waiting in line to eat pie :) There's nowhere to sit. The pies are good, but it's nothing special, no reason to wait.

I don't know what it's famous for, but I wasn't very pleased. The pie dough was a bit dry and hard on the outside, as if they were trying to rush it, and that's what caused it. Also, for your order to be taken, you must be seated at a table.

Renowned for their delicious apple pie, which is excellent, by the way.

In general, I’m not quite impressive. It’s not too bad but not worth the hype :<

The staff were all very kind, and I had a very pleasant experience. It starts to get crowded around 11:30 AM, and the number of people waiting for seats increases, so if you want to relax, it's best to go a little earlier. The apple pie in the picture isn't prominently featured on the menu, so if you want to try it, you should order it directly from the staff. They can also adjust the amount of whipped cream. The breakfast was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. I would like to visit this restaurant again.

Excellent apple pie. The cream is well-balanced, worth the trip.

We tried the apple pie, and it was delicious, honestly. I loved it, and the slice was big enough for two people. The coffee was just okay. The place is small but tidy, and the service wasn't super fast, but I'd love to try it again! 😍

Cozy atmosphere - good apple pie! Not too sweet… the perfect fall snack.

An ordinary cake that doesn't live up to the recommendations it received.

After dinner, we took a taxi from Amsterdam Central Station. Even our taxi driver vouched for the apple pie here, saying it's the real deal. Around 9:30 PM, there was a line and we waited for about 30 minutes. However, the apple pie was so delicious that it made us completely forget about the wait.

To enjoy a good Amsterdam apple pie, although it's a bit "industrial" given how busy it is, but it was still nice. Worth doing once!

I never knew apple pies can taste this good 👍

We only had the apple pie and it was good.

I loved the area; on Saturdays there was a very lively street fair out front. There was a small line, but it moved quickly. The girls who work there are attentive and fast. I tried the famous apple pie and liked it a lot. There should be an option for those who don't like raisins, but even with raisins it was very tasty. The price is high, but it's worth it to try a traditional dessert from the country.

Seriously, it's really delicious, isn't it?

Quintessential Dutch apple pie. Not overly sweet with an almost cookie crust

Best dessert in town. Coffee is good as well.

Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff! This was definitely the better place for a Dutch appe pie❤️

The Dutch apple pie was absolutely fantastic — warm, flavourful and packed with delicious apple filling, with a generous serving of whipped cream on the side. I particularly liked that it’s quite different from an apple strudel, with a thick, buttery shortcrust-style pastry that gives it a unique texture and character. A classic Amsterdam treat done really well and definitely worth trying!

We tried the famous Appletaart and it was delicious!

The atmosphere was lovely, everyone was minding their own business. I really enjoyed the apple pie; the portion was huge. I went with my boyfriend, and everything I eat with him is always delicious 🥺 I hope we get back together and we'll be able to go again 🙏🏻

The waiters and waitresses were really drunk, and they were very distracted.

ChatGPT suggested us to try their apple pie. And I tell you, it was excellent! We added a glass of cava and a draft beer. Good service by the polite waiter. Btw: The waiter told us that they daily serve 1300 pcs of apple pie, 180 full pies in total. Crazy amount!

Best apple pie 🥧 in amesterdam it's so delicious and light

If you see over 16000 people recommending the apple pie. You know its gonna hit different 🍎🍏

It's not exactly in the center of Amsterdam, so the fact that it's not overly crowded makes for a much nicer atmosphere. The apple pie lives up to everyone's recommendations; it's absolutely fantastic. The coffee and beers are very good, and although the prices are a bit high compared to the general average, the atmosphere is wonderful.

It's about a 20-minute walk from the center of Amsterdam. If you have high expectations, it might be underwhelming. Just out of curiosity, maybe visit once?

Was there to try their famous apple pie and it was good, balanced sweetness and right amount of crunch and flaky but half way thru, I found a blond color hair in it. They apologized and did not charge for it.

The pie is okay. Nothing you can't find elsewhere. The service is awful, like most places in Amsterdam.

I had an apple pie and capuchino. The Apple pie is amazing. The dough the apples the cream. All are really great, and they compliment each other

The wait was about 10 minutes. The apple pie was 6.3 euros, and the orange juice was 4 euros. The apples inside the pie were well-cooked and delicious, and I liked that the pie crust was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It had a slight cinnamon flavor, which made it even tastier. The orange juice was just orange juice. The service from the servers wasn't bad either. It did take the table next to us 15 minutes just to place their order, though.

Best apple pie of Amsterdam. Tables are always super dirty tho, need to clean more frequently

It's best to go around 8 PM in August; it's a place overlooking the square. The apple pie was fantastic, but in my personal opinion, it would have been even better if it had walnuts inside and was served with cinnamon on top. It goes wonderfully with a cappuccino. I think it's a must-visit! 👍🏼

Came to try the famous apple pie and it did not disappoint. Be sure to get it with the whipped cream. It has a delicious crust and a lot of apple chunks. It did take quite some time between ordering and getting the pie. But I do like that they have a lot of seating outside and it's a good place to ppl watch while waiting.

Visited twice. Same order, mint and apple pie. Will always come back..

A very sparsely topped plate for dinner....🥺 I mean; a pasta dish with a can of tomato paste and a... crumb or two of minced meat and a Salade Nocoise with a few Romaine lettuce leaves and a generous dollop of sauce with some finely chopped chives.....mmmmzzz BUT: the apple pie was divine!! The whipped cream too mmmm You shouldn't order more here; I think 🤔 Also a nice location

I was seated outside and suddenly someone asked me if I could stand up. Apparently they just barricade the front door of their upstairs residential neighbors all the time. Not cool people, you should always respect your neighbors and your customers.

Excellent apple pie served on the terrace. The staff are lovely but would do well to clean the tables more quickly to avoid the unpleasantness of having pigeons land on your table.

This place is amazing. The breakfast is so tasty. recommended to everyone to visit.

The place is seriously overrated. The apple pie was just okay, but we had one that was 10 times better in Haarlem. The service was also quite slow. Overall, nothing special and definitely not worth the hype.

So disappointing. Heard of this place and the pie has a really nice look but the taste is just average, nothing crazy that blows your mind like I was expecting. Not worth the hype

Sehr enttäuschendes Erlebnis Wir waren als Familie mit unserem 6 Monate alten Baby bei Winkel 43. Auf dem Weg dorthin gerieten wir in starken Regen und standen anschließend vor dem Café. Ich bat eine Mitarbeiterin darum, uns einen geeigneten Platz zuzuweisen. Leider wurde uns lediglich gesagt, dass wir selbst nach einem Platz suchen müssten. Da die Sitzplätze im Innenbereich nur über Treppen erreichbar waren, war es mit unserem Kinderwagen praktisch unmöglich, dort Platz zu nehmen. Wir warteten schließlich rund 30 Minuten im strömenden Regen und baten mehrfach um Unterstützung bei der Platzsuche. Leider zeigte sich das Personal wenig hilfsbereit und verwies uns immer wieder darauf, selbst einen Platz zu finden. Erst als draußen ein Tisch frei wurde, konnten wir uns schließlich setzen. Wir bestellten den viel beworbenen Apfelkuchen und waren auch davon enttäuscht. Er wurde lieblos serviert und geschmacklich konnten wir nichts Besonderes feststellen. Für uns war es ein ganz gewöhnlicher Apfelkuchen, wie man ihn in vielen anderen Cafés ebenfalls bekommt. Hinzu kommt die schwierige Parkplatzsituation in der Umgebung, wobei die wenigen verfügbaren Parkmöglichkeiten teilweise sehr teuer sind. Insgesamt war unser Besuch leider eine große Enttäuschung. Besonders der wenig aufmerksame und unfreundliche Umgang mit uns als Familie hat einen sehr negativen Eindruck hinterlassen. Für uns stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis überhaupt nicht. More information on Winkel 43 leider nicht weiterempfehlen. 🇹🇷 Turkish A huge disappointment. We went to Winkel 43 with our 6-month-old baby. We got caught in a heavy rain on the way and were soaking wet when we arrived at the cafe. I asked an employee to show us a suitable place to sit. However, we were told that we had to find our own place. It was almost impossible to get inside with the stroller because the seating area was only accessible via stairs. We waited for about 30 minutes in the heavy rain and asked the staff several times to help us find a suitable place. Unfortunately, the staff were not at all interested in helping and kept saying that we had to find our own place. Finally, a table outside became available and only then were we able to sit down. We ordered the famous apple pie, but this was also a huge disappointment. It was carelessly served and, in our opinion, had no special qualities. Frankly, it's just an ordinary apple pie that you can eat in many cafes. In addition, finding parking in the area is quite difficult and many of the available parking options are quite expensive. Overall, our visit was a huge disappointment. We were particularly upset by the indifferent and unhelpful attitude of the staff as a family with our young baby. The price-performance ratio also definitely did not meet our expectations. Unfortunately, we do not recommend Winkel 43.

The apple pie was as advertised, delicious. Nicely varied breakfast menu though heavy on milk products (yogurt, cheese, butter) simply as an FYI for lactose intolerant people.

Traditional Amsterdam coffee. Delicious apple pie.

We came here specifically to try the apple pie, and I have to say it was a 10/10!!! Absolutely delicious. 🍎🥧 The staff were also incredibly friendly. We went in the evening just for dessert, and they even offered us coffee and tea even though they weren’t on the menu, which was such a nice touch. Definitely recommend this place!

The apple pie is second to none. I recommend sharing a slice because the portions are huge and not exactly light. Stay in line to get a seat inside or in the square.

A cozy café with a terrace for sunny days. Famous for its apple pie, which is absolutely delicious. The waiters are very friendly and helpful.

I like that the pie doesn’t taste full of sugar and I can feel that I am eating an apple-oriented meal. Not for those super-into sweet sweet desserts, but I loved it for the reasons mentioned. Lovely people serving. I have felt that one of you were probably feeling down and trying your best to keep your energy up. Wanted to tell you that you are doing amazing and you also have great coworkers trying to cheer you up 💙 I hope whatever it is will turn out ok for you.

Just leave me one piece of apple cake.

Very good, it doesn't disappoint.

I didn't have high expectations because it's so famous, and it tasted exactly as it looked. The interior was very chaotic, and everything took a long time from taking the order to getting the food and waiting to pay. All the staff slammed the dishes down so hard when serving that I wondered if that was normal, but they ended up breaking a dish that day. The bar seats were right in front of the kitchen, so the noise was terrible. If possible, please avoid sitting at the bar.

The best apple pie. The staff were very polite. I came by almost every day while I was in Amsterdam.

Special apple pie Slow service The tourist who should be sent to them should be pampered.

Famous apple pie restaurant in Amsterdam! We stood in line for about 5/10 minutes to get our cakes for takeout. The staff were very kind and efficient. We enjoyed the apple pies at home!

Winkel 43 is an absolute must when visiting Amsterdam! Their famous apple pie completely lives up to the hype — warm, delicious, packed with apples, and simply fantastic. Definitely have it with whipped cream — it makes it even better! The coffee is excellent too and pairs perfectly with the pie. We waited around 20 minutes, but it was absolutely worth the wait. A useful tip if you’re visiting with a group: grab a table before ordering. Some of you can find a table while the others stay in line. The prices were also very reasonable considering how famous and popular the place is. We paid €38 for three slices of apple pie (one with whipped cream), three coffees, and one mint tea. Excellent apple pie, good coffee, and very fair prices.

Came on recommendation to Winkel 43 only to be really disappointed. The place was really busy so ordered from the take away counter. Simple order of 2 coffees and 1 piece of apple pie took a touch over 20 minutes to come out. The queue for a table moved quicker. The coffee was average and barely a mouthful. The apple pie was similarly underwhelming. The crust was spiced and very good, the apple not so wonderful. Was it worth the wait? Sadly not. Maybe we caught them on a really busy, overworked day but I'll not be back.

Best apple pie ever....coffee is excellent as well...highly recommend

We went to Winkel 43 to try the famous apple pie, but it was a bit disappointing. It was good, but definitely not worth the long queue. Service was very slow, and the waiters weren’t very friendly. They also seated people who came after us even though the group sizes were almost the same, which made the wait even longer. The vegan bitterballen were actually really good, and the flat white was nice too. Overall, not an experience I’d repeat.

Two things. Their apple pie is divine. You have to get it while you are there, with cream. Oddly enough, the second thing is their house water. Its somehow the perfect cold temperature to refresh you but not so cold it hurts to drink. No idea if it was intentional or not 😅 Posting this review after we went there for 3 apple pies, 4 days apart.🫠🫠

Great experience and recommended by Raymond from Freedam Tours. Delicious apple pie & glass of rose with a new friend from Italy 🇮🇹 after meeting on a tour. Staff very friendly. Lovely atmosphere 👌
