The perfect place to rest after a stroll along the canals of central Amsterdam. Do not let the long line of customers waiting to be seated daunt you. The reason people brave the long wait for a much coveted seat is the gorgeous apple cake. I call it apple cake since it's too tall to classify as a pie. The rich buttery crust contains a bumper crop of apples with lashings of cinnamon and raisins.
This was one of my favorite hangouts on a weekend. The cafe also has a great kitchen for soups and sandwiches. However, beware, when it's market day on the Noordermarkt square in front of the cafe, the menu may be limited to the apple cake. Not that anybody complains about this. There would be a riot if they stopped serving the apple cake. I admire the energy, determination and dedication with which the kitchen staff churn out a continuous stream of fresh baked apple cake. Take a peak into the kitchen in the basement on the way to the loo and you'll see an insane amount peeled apples waiting their turn to be baked.
