We (okay... I) ate our way around Amsterdam- and it was great!
Ben and Jerry's was everywhere! Of course, I had to indulge in a Belgian waffle with my favorite Cherry Garcia frozen yogurt on top!
Henri Willig cheese shop with free samples!
One place I don't have pictures of, but you should stop at is a bakery/chocolatiere-
't Goede Soet
Keizersgracht 95
I bought lots of chocolates there, including dark chocolate covered marshmallows, dark chocolate nonpareils, and dark chocolate coins. (I only like dark chocolate, if you can't tell!)
Stop in, she's got a great selection of all chocolates and varieties!
We stumbled across a restaurant that seems quite popular, now that I'm looking it up online-
The Pancake Bakery. Just down the street from the Anne Frankhuis, it wasn't too far from our holiday apartment, either. The first time we ate there I wanted to be healthy- so I ordered the Masai pancake, with broccoli, zucchini, paprika, carrots, onions, mushrooms, leeks, and cheese. It was delicious!

I
might have insisted we go back the next night, so I could get a dessert-like pancake- which was such a hard choice! I ended up on the English pancake, with William pears (like the canned kind), vanilla ice-cream, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream.
Note for Americans: these "pancakes" are European- so what we'd call crepes. Still delicious, just different.
I made this breakfast for myself at our apartment. Some sweet, sticky cakes I got at a bakery with sliced fresh strawberries on top!
Flowers from the Lindengracht Saturday street market.
(is that the phrase? I have no idea...)
I've got Amsterdam's posts done for you!!
