My pancake was okay, but my friend, who ordered the same thing I did, got hers with burnt cheese. Service was lazy, and the waiter began mopping up the floor with a strong astringent while we were eating. It was only 8:30 and it closes at 9, but he should have waited. The smell was too strong.

Had a wonderful ham and mushroom pancake at Sara's and washed it down with a great latte. Really tasty! More

this was the most memorable meal in Amsterdam for all of the wrong reasons, and I feel a little annoyed with myself for getting caught in this over-priced tourist trap. The American breakfast was awful, a burnt pancake drown in icing sugar so you could not tell until you ate it, an miserable little piece of overcooked bacon like the... More

This was my favorite meal in Amsterdam, Brussels and Bruges. We returned to Amsterdam on our last day and I wanted more pancakes but unfortunately wasn't able to. They have a wide assortment of sweet and savory crepes...nothing like American pancakes. I had the all vegetarian one with spinach (Greenlander?) and was quite content. The ambiance was a throw-back to... More

Sara is amazing to watch in her cafe; the woman is a dynamo and her savoury pancakes are to die for. More

We went into this place only because we had been walking in the rain and couldn't find the Pancake Bakery. (I wanted a pancake meal before I left Amsterdam.) This place appeared while we were walking. The floor looked like it hadn't been washed for days; the table was sticky. The pancake was cold and soggy. The meat on it... More

Great pancakes but sooo expensive. 2 pancakes a coke and a hot chocolate cost 33 euros even with the 10% discount card. The pancakes were huge though and I suppose if we weren't starving we could have shared one. Plenty of people were making their own pancake creations, Sara was happy to make it if she had the ingredients. Close... More

I thought our food here was very good, no issues we saw with cleanliness either (as mentioned by other reviewers). While our server wasn't overly warm, she also was far from rude or the like. Just matter of fact. There are other places I'd try but this is a good spot. More
