Where to Find the Best Cookies in Amsterdam
Soft in the middle, baked all day. A local's guide to the best cookies in Amsterdam, and the flavours worth queueing for.
By Daniel MellicovskyBaker and owner, Melly's Cookiebar
Amsterdam is full of sweets, but a properly baked cookie, soft in the middle and warm from the oven, is harder to find than you would think. As a family Cookiebar in the city centre, here is our honest take on where to find the best cookies in Amsterdam.
Look for fresh, not packaged
The difference is everything. A cookie baked that morning has a crisp edge and a soft, almost gooey centre. We bake throughout the day at Melly's, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 137, so there is usually a warm batch waiting.
The flavours worth queueing for
- Chocolate chip, our bestseller, thick and gooey
- Red velvet and white chocolate raspberry for something richer
- Salted caramel, sweet with a savoury edge
- Vegan sea salt, dairy and egg free, baked fresh alongside the rest
More than cookies
We also make handmade Argentine alfajores, fresh cakes and specialty coffee. Order a box in the webshop or come and visit us in the centre of Amsterdam.
