Appeltaart is one of the most irresistible baked goods anywhere in the world, and you know weâre right. Delicious spiced apple encased in buttery, flakey pastry is what life is all about and itâs the perfect treat in any season.
However, not all are created equal and the disappointment of biting into soggy pastry or apple that holds no flavour is something we could all do without. So, weâve compiled this list of our favourites so that the good people of Amsterdam can avoid subpar pie and only taste the best.

2. Bakkerij Westerbos
On a corner by Hugo De Grootplein tram stop is Bakkerij Westerbos, a bakery where everything tastes great. Itâs so tempting to just pop by for a treat whenever youâre in the neighbourhood but honestly, if we let ourselves do that weâd be in there every day.

CafĂ© de Jaren has the most spectacular view out over the canal and even when itâs raining and youâre seated inside you can still enjoy the view through huge windows that offer a beautiful perspective.
