We like this pancake restaurant a lot. When stepping inside, it feels like time stood still. The Interior has antique decorations. The owner, a lady is very friendly and often she prepares the pancakes herself. Our order was ready in just 5 minutes! The menu has almost 200 different types of pancakes. I have never seen so many options of pancakes in my life. Please take into consideration that you can only pay in cash.

Unbelievably good pancakes and poffertjes for breakfast on a quiet Saturday morning. The owner was lovely and very kind and the quality of both the food and coffees was exceptional.

Very cute old style dutch restaurant inside a clean modern building. Sweet couple run the restaurant. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning ( hard to find here in Apeldoorn) and will definitely go try lunch sometime soon. Kids loved it

Absolutely fantastic! There’s such a lovely cozy feel to the restaurant (reminds you of your childhood and visits to family). You’re welcomed warmly and made to feel at home too. The food is outstanding. I honestly probably could have happily camped out and eaten the poffertjes for a month straight. They were light, crispy on the edges, not too sweet (so the powdered sugar doesn’t overwhelm) with hints of salt from the butter. The pannenkoek was equally delicious (though my favourite is still the poffertjes) with lovely crispy edges and a great topping to pannenkoek ratio. Absolutely a place to go if you’re visiting the area!

We came here by accident and were pleasantly surprised! Amalia is not only the kindest host we found here in the Netherlands but also makes the best poffertjes, pannenkoeken. What’s more, the meatball sandwiches are to die for! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Lovely atmosphere and great food. The poffertjes are to die for and the panekoeken brought back childhood memories. The owner is a super friendly lady who is putting her heart and soul into her place. I will be back :)

Quirky cozy restaurant with a lot of light. Very friendly lady who was both doing the cooking and the serving. Food was simply delicious. We had poffertjes and a cheesepancake and they were both very tasty.
