Over 20 years already De Drie Graefjes in Amsterdam, the Netherlands has delighted us with delicious cakes. They’re a lunchroom and American bakery in one. This isn’t the first review of a good bakery on the blog. Another perfect cake place in Amsterdam is Café Winkel 43. Utrecht also has some perfect patisseries, such as Hop & Stork and Bond en Smolders.
De Drie Graefjes Rokin
The bakery has 4 different stores in Amsterdam, two of them are next to each other on the Rokin. One is the bakery, which is the store where you can get your orders and take-away. The other one is the lunchroom where you can sit down. There’s a small terrace outside on the sidewalk. There are a few tables downstairs and more upstairs.
We’ve been to De Drie Graefjes – American bakery several times and I once had take away cakes from them. We sat outside a few times and inside, downstairs as well as upstairs.
All the times we’ve been there it was busy or relatively busy. We were never the only ones and sometimes had to wait shortly for a place on the terrace. We’ve visited the bakery both on weekdays as well as on the weekend.
It’s an American bakery, that’s the style in which they bake their cakes and cupcakes.
What to Order
We sat down here many times already over the last 2.5 years and tried out several of their delicious cakes. We love them all, from the triple layer chocolate cake to the New York cheesecake, the red velvet cake and the lemon meringue pie. The portions were huge.
The bakery on Rokin is open daily from 8.30am till 6pm, and the lunchroom is open daily from 9am till 6pm.
On The De Drie Graefjes menu you’ll find the above mentioned cakes, but also Dutch apple pie, vegan banana bread or a devil’s food cupcake.
But it’s not just cakes on the menu, they also have a delicious chai latte, lots of different coffees and teas. Further they serve an all-day breakfast with things on it such as American pancakes and a croque madame. Other items on the lunch menu are chicken melt toast, club pollo, a vegan burger and a caprese salad.
What Else
