Van Stapele Koekmakerij

It’s about a 40 minute queue, but worth the wait. The cookies were so buttery and chocolatey at the same time. Its the cookie equivalent of a brownie, but with a gooey white chocolate centre. They’re not too sweet either. There is a maximum on how many cookies you can take, but they place them in a tin so they stay fresh when you take them home. They’re also baking all day so the cookies are fresh baked and served warm!

The cookies soooo yummy and so fresh. Very long queue in front of the bakery but really worth it when you reach the counter and smell that yummy cookie. They sell only one kind, they have two different packing options: the tin - with extra charges- and the paper box. The staff are so friendly and they smile all the time. Try it and you will not regret it.

Seriously the BEST cookies I've ever tasted! They've perfected their one and only cookie – it's absolutely worth any wait. Just a heads-up, there's a limit of 13 per person, which just tells you how good they are! A definite must-visit for any cookie lover in the world.

The best cookies in Amsterdam, a must-visit Van Stapele is an absolute must if you’re in Amsterdam — hands down the best cookies to try. The line is usually long, but it’s the fastest-moving line you’ll experience in the city, so don’t let that stop you. The cookies are warm, rich, and simply delicious — I highly recommend getting more than one because you’ll definitely want another bite!

Van Staple Cookies Yes the Cookies are Dangerously Delicious! Are the worth the Hype? Not really! They are just good damn Cookies! The feeling of being in Amsterdam and the Cookies fresh out of the Ofen even brings more of the Hype with it! But there are more Delicious Cookies out there than the Van Staple ones and they are cheaper. There is just one Sort of Cookie. 6 Cookies for 15€?! Just go there and convince yourself from the Taste and make your own Picture if the Hype is real.

This store sells just one product (and gets it right!) : rich dark chocolate cookies with a white chocolate filling. Crumbly texture towards the ends and soft texture at the centre. 🤤 Some of the best cookies I have ever tasted! In my opinion, these cookies were so much better than all the Stroopwafels I tried in Amsterdam. And the packaging! Absolutely gorgeous tin boxes for 5€ more. They make the perfect presents together with the delicious cookies. We went to the store yesterday afternoon and there were huge queues and the store closed at around 3pm as the cookies were sold out. We came back today at around 10:30am and there were no queues and we got warm, freshly made cookies. Bonus: you can see the staff prepare the cookies at the store as well 😉

During a visit to Amsterdam, one might serendipitously discover Van Stapele Koekmakerij, a cookie shop that often draws attention due to the notable queue of people waiting outside. This visual cue of popularity is often the first indication that something special is being offered within. Upon investigation, it becomes apparent that this establishment operates with a unique focus: they specialise in just one single type of cookie. The product in question is a chocolate cookie, and tasting it confirms the wisdom of their singular approach. The flavour is intensely and genuinely chocolatey, providing a deep, rich taste that is both satisfying and memorable. The quality of the chocolate used and the execution of the bake result in a cookie that is far from ordinary. If you appreciate a truly rich and well-executed chocolate cookie, the experience of trying their sole offering is highly recommended.

I was recommended this by a friend of mine and it did not disappoint. Due to the rain, there was practically no way which made the experience even more enjoyable as I dislike waiting in line for food. The cookies were simple yet delicious. I recommend anybody in Amsterdam to try these. I might even say these are my favorite cookies I’ve ever had anywhere. I wish they had an online store where I can order them.
