👍 Small and cosy cafeteria. They have homemade cakes and muffins. The muffins are very good but I found the carrot cake a bit raw and with too many ingredients. 📝 Good service. The waitress was very nice 💰 Good price considering the location. People often mention cake, good, service, nice, staff, cakes, delicious, friendly, carrot, velvet,

    Visited the cafe again today after a few years, their red velvet is indeed dry and more of a dense spongecake instead of the expected soft, buttery, velvety, chocolatey cake. I kept eating it thinking that I must have remembered it differently - but no, it just wasn't delicious. Mind you that our wedding cakes (yes, we couldn't choose) in 2015 were the red velvet, turtle and carrot cake ordered from this very same shop. Very sad - it's now overrated and overpriced at €5,50 per piece. -- 3* because size stays the same and staff was as friendly.

    OMG this carrot cake makes me cry. This is the only place in the centre to get proper cakes. The rest are just frozen, old crusty abominations. The staff is amazing as well and there's plenty of room to seat upstairs.

    We had lemon merengue tart and triple chocolate cheesecake. Both of them were good and tasty. Also the cappuccino. I like the atmosphere, the music was also very nice, the staff is kind and respectful, and they speak English very well, that makes it easy to place an order. I will definitely come back on my return to the Netherlands.

    Super good cake, but beware, the portions are huge. So please share a piece.

    I like that they had 2 vegan options for pastries and it was pretty tasty. But the options were still limited. Given the animal suffering involved in egg and dairy production (since all those animals have to be killed at the end of a lifetime of exploitation), I don't know why the vegan options are not the default here. They do a great job baking vegan pastries. So I will come back and give it 5 star when they drop animal products, and offer foods that are better for animals and the environment. The staff was nice and the environment was friendly. I enjoyed my lemon loaf bread.

    A very cute little cafe/bakery located on two floors connected by a narrow circular staircase. The coffee is excellent and the staff pleasant although the service could be a little faster.

  • 5/5 Driss 9 months ago on Google
    Definitely the best cupcakes in Amsterdam. The flavors are very tasty and creamy. The service is flawless and correct. The bakery itself is small and authentic. Prices are low for these quality pastries. Delicious!

    Very nice place to seat and relax after long walks around Amsterdam. Good coffee and deserts, also you will find other options to eat. Very cozy inside, good and friendly service. I’m going back for sure.

    An adorable place for a coffee, just behind the dam square. On rainy days (only) you can sit at the top floor which is very nice. The food is just ok..

    Inadequate service. There was nobody at the counter for 10 minutes, then a waiter made a few rude comments while I was waiting for somebody to show up, then they pretended they don't understand that I wanted to buy a whole cake, and, in the end, refused to sell anything, although there was a full fridge of cakes.

    We came here a few times and tried different things each time. The rainbow cake was delicious and a very good sized serving. We also tried the vanilla cupcakes and the chocolate cake and these were very good and light. We only wish the store was open later so we could enjoy it in the evening, even if the takeaway store was open a little later.

    Used to be the best red velvet cake in the city but has gone completely downhill - very dry, tasted old to be honest. Did new people take over? Or they cut costs on ingredients? Such a shame - used to be a treat for us to go here and we would send all of our friends but I will not be back.

    Extremely pricy for the size and quality of the food, plus the service was really terrible, the waitress was very rude and not welcoming at all. We wefe 5 and first she brought the food for 2 of my friends and when they finished she brought the rest, so we didn't wven get to eat together... There are much better places in the city that offer the same kind of food and with a welcoming atmosphere. I will bot be back.

    (Translated by Google) Dropped in 20 minutes in advance for a cup of coffee and very firmly refused! For the reason that they will close. A very bad service! (Original) 20 minuten van te voren binnengekomen voor een kopje koffie en heel resoluut geweigerd! Met als reden dat ze gaan sluiten. Een hele slechte service!

    I had a chocolate turtle cake. Not impressed at all. Once the quality of this place was higher. Nothing special. Barely had taste. We also took the rainbow cake and the person who had it was satisfied with it.

    (Translated by Google) best meal in AMS for these days, though we just arrived for 3 days. Staffs are nice, and food is great. Will recommend it to more Taiwanese friends surely. I hope to introduce more Taiwanese tourists to this restaurant. The food CP value is good, the signature dessert is delicious, and the staff is friendly.

    (Translated by Google) The brunch is so delicious! Perfect fried eggs, crisp cheese, served with ham and bread! Although described as simple, it is really delicious! The store is busy and the space is not large. The staff is extremely busy and is also concerned about the taste. Eat and drink in the store until the window is clear, and my mood is clear. (Original) 早午餐太好吃了!煎的完美的半熟蛋,清爽的起司,配上火腿跟麵包!形容的雖然簡單,但真的很美味!店內繁忙,空間不大,店員繁忙無比還親切的關切口味是否洽當。在店內吃吃喝喝待到窗外放晴,心情也放晴。

    Great sandwiches on wholewheat bread... Very filling and tasty. Nice little area with a cute ambience, a bit hidden away but worth seeking out for a sandwich/bagel etc Club sandwich could be shared if your not super hungry

  • 4/5 Anda N. 1 year ago on Google
    Even if I ordered a latte, the cappuccino was nice.🙃 The Humingbird cake was nice. We attended on a Monday and the weather was great, but still the was street too windy for my taste and a little bit dirty. 📌No diaper changing place. I will give a second try.

  • 5/5 Sally S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great variety of breakfast choices! From salty to sweet, it was delicious with a wonderful presentation! It is a bit pricy. Therefore you get a great amount of portion and you will not leave with an empty belly.

  • 4/5 Esther Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was great, the toasts were delicious but the cakes were too dense and too sweet in our opinion, we expected it'd be fluffier.

  • 5/5 Fraser B. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the “Hangover” sandwich. Nice little place with good coffee not too far from the main train station if, like me, you have a break between trains. I could only eat half the muffin; kept the other half for later.

    (Translated by Google) The 🍰 cakes are uniquely good. I haven't got such good pieces for many years. The firm base made of shortcrust pastry - unbeatably tasty 😋😋😋. A big compliment to the pastry chef👍👍👍. I cannot recommend a day in Amsterdam without a visit to "De Drie Graefjes". (Original) Die 🍰 Kuchen sind einzigartig gut. So gute Stücke habe ich seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr bekommen. Der feste Boden aus Mürbteig - unschlagbar lecker 😋😋😋. Ganz großes Kompliment an die Konditorin👍👍👍. Einen Tag in Amsterdam ohne Besuch bei "De Drie Graefjes" kann ich nicht empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice eatery in a quiet - but not shabby - alley. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had excellent coffee and a club sandwich each, which we liked very much. Almost € 10 for a large sandwich is steep, but common in the area. Next time we come for the famous cheesecakes. (Original) Sehr hübsches Lokal in einer ruhigen - aber nicht schäbigen - Gasse. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten astreinen Kaffee und jeweils ein Clubsandwich, welche uns sehr gut geschmeckt haben. Knapp 10€ für ein großes Sandwich ist zwar happig, aber ortsüblich. Nächstes mal kommen wir für die berühmten Cheesecakes.

  • 1/5 Rita A. 3 years ago on Google
    The consumer service is pretty much non existent here. Nobody was smiling or were being welcoming once we walked in. (Our first time there) Communication with the costumer is 1 out of 10. We sat down on the second floor by the French balcony. Ordered cheese cake and carrot cake with tea. The best carrot cake I have ever had in my life - never knew I liked carrot cake before I tried this one. The cheese cake was dry and just okay tasting. Asked to bring the bill - the girl disappeared for good 15 minutes. We were in a bit of a rush so decided to go downstairs and just pay there. The place was not full of people. We asked to split the bill and the girl said they are not allowed to do that. Like what? First time in my life I hear such non sense. Why in the world wouldn’t you be allowed to split the bill if the client asks you to???!! In disbelief I ended up paying the bill for both of us. Will never come back there again. Just disgusting how they treat their clients there.

    Every time I come to Amsterdam I have or get this red velvet cake! It is the absolute best red velvet cake I’ve ever tasted and slices are huge. Lunch is also great here with plenty of options. I’m vegetarian so I always get the veggie burger made of chick peas with an awesome curry sauce. The customer service is also superb! The wait staff is so nice here.

    A good place for having breakfast or coffee. We went there for breakfast and we were satisfied fully. The menu offers also vegan options. We have been there July 2020 and it seems so that they have cut out almost every vegan food option. Pretty sad.

  • 1/5 Sehr A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Too bad the service is bad! I walk to the entrance and then I very kindly ask if there is a place available for 1 person. It is ignored, staff walk past me and start saying loudly "MOMOM WOMAN MOMOM OK," then I sat inside, no one coming to me. I ask for a menu card myself and also place my order without anyone asking me for it. Too bad of your staff. Nice place to eat but staff could use some training :) (Original) Jammer dat de service enorm slecht is ! Ik loop naar de ingang toe vervolgens vraag ik heel vriendelijk of er een plek vrij is voor 1 persoon binnen. Er wordt genegeerd, personeel loopt langs me en begint hard op te zeggen ‘’MOMENTJE MEVROUW MOMENTJE OKE’ , vervolgens ben ik binnen gaan zitten, niemand die naar mij toe komt. Ik vraag zelf voor een menu kaart en geef zelf ook mijn bestelling door zonder dat iemand mij erom vraagt. Jammer van jullie personeel. Leuke plek om te eten maar personeel mag wel wat getraind worden:)

    (Translated by Google) The pancakes are horrible, compact and very muffled Christian, for $ 10 It is very expensive. The avocado toasts are fair and went on bread without salt or pepper for 10 €. Only the service is friendly. In short, go your way (Original) Les pancakes sont horribles, compactes et très étouffé chrétiens, pourv10€ C est très cher.

    (Translated by Google) The craving for cake brought me here and should enrich me with a Carrot Cake experience. The piece of cake is definitely a stunner and therefore fits totally into the American Style category, which should also be embodied in terms of cake selection. For me a good junk food carrot cake, with great frosting cream and the 5 € are justified due to the quality and size. (Original) Der Kuchenhunger hat mich hier her geführt und sollte mich um eine Carrot Cake Erfahrung reicher machen. Das Stück Kuchen ist definitiv eine Wucht und passt demnach total in die Kategorie American Style, welcher in Sachen Kuchenauswahl auch verkörpert werden soll. Für mich ein guter Junk Food Carrot Cake, mit toller frosting Creme und die 5€ sind aufgrund der Qualität und Größe gerechtfertigt.
