Tiramisup
cutest shop with endless flavors of peppernuts - traditional dutch cookies! the owner is so kind, and you can sample the flavors. we picked up a bag of pumpkin spice peppernuts and mini stroopwafel cookies, and they were. delicious.

on a mission for one more dutch apple pie before we left amsterdam, we stopped by here for brunch. spoiler: winkel 43 is not the only good apple pie in the city, this one was absolutely delicious as well. incredible sandwiches too!
