Poffertjes Albert Cuyp

Poffertjes Albert Cuyp is a dedicated poffertjes stall in the heart of Amsterdam’s famous Albert Cuyp Market. Here, the traditional miniature Dutch pancakes are freshly prepared in a special pan filled with small round moulds, creating their characteristically soft and fluffy texture.

For the authentic Dutch experience, order them exactly as intended: hot from the griddle with a generous piece of butter and plenty of powdered sugar. The butter slowly melts between the warm poffertjes, creating the simple but irresistible treat Dutch people have enjoyed for generations.

Several additional toppings are available, including warm Nutella, syrup, caramel, chocolate, whipped cream and Grand Marnier. However, even the stall itself recommends choosing the traditional butter-and-sugar version first.

This is an informal street-food experience rather than a sit-down café. Collect your plate, find a place beside the stall and enjoy the poffertjes immediately while exploring the lively market.

Eat the poffertjes immediately. The combination of warm pancakes, melting butter and powdered sugar is what makes them special. The stall’s schedule can vary, so check before making a special journey. Saturday offers the liveliest market atmosphere but also attracts the largest crowds.
