Goodbye Pancakes

On our final day in Amsterdam, we made a beeline for Pancakes! Amsterdam. As we said before, we loved our pancakes so much on our first visit that we decided to leave for Belgium a little later so we could get another pancake. We arrived at Pancakes! Amsterdam before it opened and just strolled the nearby streets as we waited for them to get set up. The lady setting up must have seen us waiting patiently because she motioned that we could come in even though they technically didn't open for another 5-10 minutes.


To start off our lunch (snack? brunch?), A got another glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and I got a bottle of perensap. I liked the pear juice as it was more unique and not a common juice option. I'm not sure if I liked the flavor better than the apple juice from the day before. (It's been three years; that memory has faded.)


Since we were planning for our lunch to be a food crawl, we decided to split one pancake this time instead of getting two individual ones. The combination we chose this time had spinach, goat cheese, garlic oil, pine nuts and sunflower seeds.


We liked this pancake, but we liked our choices from our first visit better. For me, this one was just a little richer and heavier because of the goat cheese, and I liked the lighter vegetable pancake more (so much that it made my favorites list for the year). A also preferred his daily special from the day before. This pancake wasn't bad by any means. We just liked our other choices more.

We were sad to say goodbye to the little pancake shop as we loved it there and didn't know when we would be able to return. We highly recommend Pancakes! Amsterdam for a casual and fulfilling meal!

Pancakes! Amsterdam is located at Berenstraat 38 in Amsterdam.
