HOTSPOT: Chocolate Bakery Amsterdam

-
EN

Chocolate Bakery Amsterdam? That sound music in my ear when me and my friend W. spotted this small inviting shop in the busy shopping ‘Kalverstraat’ in Amsterdam!

Their shop name says it all as they sell chocolate that are made in the evening beforehand and ready to be sold in the next day. Great! They also have on the menu a ‘chocolatekebab’ with a real spinning chocolate kebab in the shop!
But I didn’t try any of their chocolate assortments sadly.

Amsterdam that day was very cold and all I wanted is to warm myself up with (hot) bubble tea. Yes they sell bubble tea! And they quite have a good range of flavours and topping as well but I always loyally stick with the ‘classic’ bubble tea with tapioca pearls. My friend W. chose for the (cold) mango flavoured bubble tea and immediately regret for not having it warmed up. Boy his hands were frozen!

Anyway, the bubble tea was nice for Western standards and our seller behind the counter is a friendly seller too. And last but not least, Chocolate Bakery Amsterdam also sells macarons and chocolate crêpe. YUM! I have something to go back for and try them out!

Chocolate Bakery Amsterdam? Dat klinkt als muziek in mijn oren toen ik en W. dit kleine en uitnodigende winkeltje zagen in de drukke Kalverstraat in Amsterdam!

Hun winkel naam zegt het al: het verkopen van chocolade en andere zoetigheid. Hun chocolade worden gemaakt in de avond tevoren en klaar om te worden verkocht in de volgende dag. Geweldig! Ze hebben ook op het menu een 'chocolatekebab' met een echte draaiende chocolade kebab in de winkel!
Maar helaas liet ik de chocolade assortiment links liggen.

Amsterdam was erg koud en het liefs wat ik wilde is mezelf opwarmen met (warme) bubble tea. Ja, ze verkopen bubble tea! Met een goed lijstje aan smaken en topping ook nog, maar ik blijf trouw aan de ‘klassieke’ bubble tea dus heb ik voor deze gekozen met tapioca parels. Mijn vriend W. koos voor de (koude) mango bubble tea smaak en had onmiddellijk spijt dat deze niet warm werd gemaakt. Wat had hij koude vingers!

Hoe dan ook, de bubble tea waren lekker voor westerse normen en onze verkoper achter de toonbank is een vriendelijke verkoper. En last but not least, Chocolade Bakery Amsterdam verkoopt ook macarons en chocolade crêpe. Yum! Heb ik tenminste een goede reden om terug te gaan en deze te proeven!

This rotating macaron display is really the eye-candy of the shop.

    Ik ben hier ook al een aantal keer langsgelopen maar nog nooit naar binnen geweest.
    Maar als jij zegt dat de bubble tea lekker is dan ga ik het een keer proberen.

    Tot nu toe ben ik elke keer zwaar teleurgesteld geweest. Ook in de Asia Station en de QQ Bakery..Maar misschien zijn mijn eisen te hoog.

    I like milk tea too! I don't think we have it over here warm, but I think if I were to ask for it hot, they might do that.

    I'm not the biggest fan of macarons but those look so tasty! The bubble tea looks good too! Dignifiable | Lifestyle and Travel

    All this talk of delicious food has me wanting to throw out my whole grains and organic veggies and just pig out on sweets! But, indulging sometimes is a must. ;)

    Wow, that rotating macaron display is interesting! It's a nice touch that they add flower petals for their toppings area too.

    Ahhh Yes, hot creamy sweet chocolate sounds amazing with colder weather! That macaroon dispenser thing looks so neat! We have bubble tea here at top notch quality but I only drink it when my boyfriend gets it! I'm trying to not drink too many calories! :p

    Wow a chocolate bakery?! What a good idea! Drooling at the sight of it! The weather is getting a lot cooler now in Melbourne but I'm really excited because there's a hot chocolate spot that I absolutely adore here ^^

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
