The Pancake Bakery
About
At The Pancake Bakery, Amsterdam’s oldest pancake house, guests step into a 17‑century Dutch East India Company warehouse that has been lovingly restored to its original charm. The historic ‘Hoop’ and ‘Liefde’ buildings line Prinsengracht, offering a scenic backdrop of the canal belt. Inside, a bustling open kitchen lets diners watch their pancakes be made fresh, while a menu that ranges from classic Dutch pancakes with powdered sugar or maple syrup to international variations—including a Caprese, Hawaiian, Mexican, and Thai‑flavored pancake—ensures there’s something for every palate. Whether you jump in for breakfast between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., or settle in for lunch or dinner until 8:30 p.m., the friendly staff and welcoming, family‑friendly atmosphere make it a favorite for locals and visitors alike.
