Metropolitan

A great find for pastries, handmade chocolate and ice creams.
There’s not much wrong with Metropolitan. We found it by accident and have had to come back again during our short weekend break.
On site handmade chocolates are delightful. The coffee is good. The selection of ice creams and sorbets insane and the pastries well made.
Tucked down a backstreet it’s worth seeking out but beware there are literally 5 tall tables to sit at so expect this to be a takeout mission.
The cannolis were good and you can by chocolate by the gram rather than in bars which I like.

Lovely bustling chocolate store in Amsterdam. The chocolate looked amazing but we had to go for the Meringue because they are really hard to find in the US. We each had a hazelnut flavored meringue and they were each the size of a coconut! The meringues were perfectly cooked, nice and gooey inside!

Really good food. Really good service. And really good store.
We ordered two waffles. One with Nutella and salted caramel ice cream. The other with just chocolate sauce. Both were divine.
Would definitely recommend if the store is not crowded with tourists (which I guess is a good sign).

Really great gelato. They have the most amazing chocolate covered almonds. I buy some for my family every time I visit Amsterdam. They are addictive! I recommend trying the chocolates towards the back. Very interesting flavors like tomato and chili!

Best Icecream in the city.
They also have very many other delicious sweets (cakes, cookies, coffee).
Good atmosphere.

Fantástica comida para después de pasear por los coffeeshops. Tienen brownies, crepes, helados, cannoli y wafles entre otros.
Súper buena atención, los previos acorde al promedio de Amsterdam (o sea medio altos)

Got a plain waffle with powdered sugar on top and it was ridiculously worth it. Delicious from beginning to end. FYI they re-​put the waffle back into the iron to heat it up for you too!
As soon as I finished it, I already wanted another. Waffle of my dreams!
(Note: I was not high at the time of consumption)

I have nothing but praise for this beautiful shop! From chocolates to gelato to cakes to waffles and EVERYTHING in between this store is the answer to any and everybody’s sweet tooth. I had ny cheesecake gelato (so yum) and a dark chocolate covered banana (BOMB) and had to stop myself from ordering more. The staff is adorable and accommodating as well. Any time I come to Amsterdam, this will be my first stop!

What’s a trip to Amsterdam without visiting one of my favorite messy straats: Warmoesstraat. A messy street caused by and filled with college students and wannabe college students getting their beer and food on… and of course desert…
What I meant to say is, what’s a trip to Amsterdam without revisiting one of my favorite desert places. A couple years ago I had coffee and a cannoli here. The crispness of the shell and excellent sweetness of the chocolate and filling never left the back of my mind. I had always notated Metropolitan as a good desert spot.
I’m back because I was attending an event in the area and grabbed myself some chocolates from the back which are decent, a desert, orange juice and a latte. All pretty good.
They used to have that chocolate fountain outside but moved it behind the counter, which is a smart move.
The stool seating is still facing the wall. And the staff is half friendly, served with a smile. Due to lack of seating, the feel of the place makes it attractive the way the ice cream, pastries and chocolate goods are on display but the lack of seating make it a more grab and go sort of desert place.

I bet you like Pulp Fiction. For a taste of it just go to Metropolitan and get high on chocolate marshmallows and a … sniff of cocoa.

I wanted to try the gelato so bad but it was about 20 degrees outside so I decided to get a waffle. Next time I’m in Amsterdam I am coming back for gelato here for sure!
Had a dark chocolate waffle and caramel waffle. Both were incredibly good. The whip cream is fresh, the waffles were a mix of savory and moist. Wish I had one now!

Yum Yum Yum. I will be back tomorrow it was so good to try out something different. Check they even had cocoa blow. Ha. For free.

I’ve been to amsterdam 3 times from the us and near metropolitan twice. Whenever I’m close by, I just have to visit and get a warm waffle topped with a scoop of straciatella gelato. I don’t even give other places a chance if I have to choose between this and another. They have a large variety of sweets that I wish I could try but my stomach would kill me for. So Ive stuck with my tried and true. I also snorted a line of cacao there. Yes, You read right. Also, they have free wifi!

I recently visited Europe with a group of friends, and we discovered this place after a long, tiring day in Amsterdam. Having been a long day, people were a bit grumpy, so my friends went out to go find some dessert to cheer themselves up. I don’t usually like sweets, so I stayed in the hostel.
An hour later, my friends come back with a LITER of gelato. They tell me, «We got this for 13 €!» As we start digging into the gelato, everyone agrees, this gelato is amazing. So what do we do? We go back, that same night. This time, I go with them. (Remember, I don’t even like sweets!) We got another half liter, after consuming the first liter not too long ago!
The stroopwaffels and mini Dutch pancakes are also really good. Highly recommended.
On one hand, it’s a shame that we discovered this place on our last night in Amsterdam. On the other hand, it’s probably a good thing, because we probably would have spent all our time in Amsterdam stuffing our faces with gelato instead of exploring the city.

I’d like to add several notables.
The first being on the wall you can write your name in chocolate.
The second, their selection of chocolate products including chocolate soap, chocolate shampoo, chocolate beer for examples.
The third, You can snort lines of powdered chocolate. Yep, yep. that’s right. You can snort chocolate. «That’s crazy! Flip city! Ooobee choo bee!!» There’s a mix of pepper in it so it burns a little when you snort it but overall it’s an interesting, unusual, funny and enjoyable experience. It’s nuts. No, no it’s chocolate.
Lastly, they’re dog friendly: D. I just thought all of you who have a dog in tow would like to know your dog is welcome here.
Being open late is cool too.

When you’re suddenly stricken by the case of the munchies because you may have ingested/​smoked a certain mystical herb, this place is the place to hit. (Haha, get it? Hit?) Gelato, crepes, Dutch waffles, Belgian waffles — it’s got it all. They’ve even got a spot in the back where you do rails of cocoa for free. Some people definitely looked like they had too much experience with that particular sniffing technique, but hey, whatever goes in Amsterdamn, right? Anyway, I tried, and it was weird, but it was awesome. After that, I took a hot chocolate shot, which was also awesome. But to the main attraction, the gelato.
Unlike most European gelato/​ice cream places, they encourage you to try different flavors, so you’re more than welcome to sit there with twenty sampling spoons sticking out of your mouth while you hunker down and make the right decision. And even after all those samples, they’ll even let you cram at least two flavors in any of their cups, even the tiniest one! Definitely go for the Nuts n’ Glory gelato flavor. It’s a hazelnut + chocolate combo with a brownie chunks! Does it get any better than that? The answer to that rhetorical question is HELL YEAH. Throw a scoop of that on top of a Belgian waffle and you’re set to go and only out 3.5 euro. You can thank me later. Now go stuff your face with some Glory Nuts.

What I love about this place is that they are open every day until midnight!!! YAY!!!
Whut!!! in Amsterdam?! Yes! Amsterdam needs more places like this one!
Of course it doesn’t do much good to be open until late if you don’t offer quality which is also good that they do deliver on that front.
I love, absolutely love, ice cream! I scream for ice cream! However, I don’t like it when it’s too sweet. I’d much rather have more flavor and less of a face-​twitching, overly sugar dosed sweetness.
Now that we’ve established that I love ice cream that’s not too sweet, I will also add that I am a big coconut whore. You could sprinkle coconut on top of shit and I’d eat it… (that last part may not be true).
Now you know what I like and Metropolitan does not disappoint! The coconut ice cream is very coconut-​buttery and feels and tastes organic in both texture and flavor. I don’t know how natural or organic it is but it sure tastes that way.
Of course that’s not the only flavor they have. Another one of my favorites at this place is the NY Cheesecake ice cream. Very creamy.
If you want to go for a late night run to a pastry or ice cream shop, here’s the place to go! They have a selection of cakes, pies and waffles, ice cream, chocolates, and a few chocolate themed shower and bath products. They also have chocolate beer! Yes! CHOCOLATE BEER! At 7.2% it’s not light, but it has an instant pleasant aftertaste.
You can also try to snort a line of cocoa. Yes, I said cocoa and not cocaine. Check out the pics.

OMWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
The should rename this place to the cravings-​orgasm-​absolute. It come out that the guy responsible for all the amazing stuff behind the counter is a famous party Chef in Holland. To be honest i was told his name but it was somewhere in between me stuffing myself with Stropwaffle ice cream and topping that with chocolate fudge ice cream (NOTE: It had real pieces of fudge inside it) so i have to be honest i was not paying sooooooo much attention.
If you like me stuffing ice cream and then feeling bad because you just downed 1000 cal and you will need to spend the next 6 months in gym trying to burn the out then you must definitely go. Its so orgasmically wonderful that you wanna eat EEEEEEEEVERYTHING and still you wont feel a sigle hint of remorse cause its just tastes so perfect.
if it was in my hands i would even rename the place to «het verlangen paleis»
A must go if you are just visiting

Dropped in for a quick coffee but ended up with more chocolate than I promised myself I would eat for the whole week.
A great espresso follow by a complimentary chocolate truffle made me fall for the classic drug dealer trick; «first one is free but you won’t be able to resist buying more». And that’s what happened. I ended up eating chocolates like there was no tomorrow and I regret nothing as they all tasted great!
The staff is really nice and if you are lucky they will even sing a couple of tunes behind the register. Coffee, chocolate and singing makes a perfectly fine experience!

Now there is a man who loves his job! I never saw the owner without a smile on his face. If only we could all have this enjoyment while at work, but alas we can’t all work as chocolatiers. This same passion in his eyes shines through in the ice cream.
I can say we tried ALL of them. Well close enough to make that statement. There were very few which were just middle of the road. Each flavor has it’s own little something special. Flavors like lemon basil, rhubarb and stroopwafel stood out as extra unique. There are also quite a few chocolate flavors with added hints of cherry or coffee. Along with the ice cream was the chocolate beer which had a nice taste as well. Only had a sip but think I could taken down one or two after a rough day in the office.
Didn’t get to try the other treats unfortunately, but they also looked quite good. Will have to have one of them next time. With a side of peanut butter ice cream :)

Ein sehr stylischer Eisladen im Herzen von Amsterdam, in dem es sich hauptsächlich aber um Schokolade dreht. DieVariationen an Eiscreme sind abwechslungsreich und verspielt und daher trotz des üppigen Preises zu einem angemessenen Preis-​Leistungs-​Verhältnis zu haben. Das Publikum setzt sich hauptsächlich aus Touristen zusammen, dies dürfte der Lage geschuldet sein.
Die Eiskreme selbst ist sehr intensiv und lecker, die Kugeln nicht zu klein.

The «deli» in the name is something of a misnomer, because this place is all about the sweets. They have everything from pastries to fruit to cannoli to chocolate clusters to «New York» cheesecake to mini-​pancakes and stacks and stacks of waffles…
But if you eat one thing when you’re wandering around Amsterdam,* let it be the Stroopwafel ice cream from Metropolitan Deli.
It is unbelievably tasty. As I understand it, a stroopwafel is two of your already delicious waffles sandwiched around a caramel syrup infused with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. If you take all those flavors and fold them into the creamiest, most fantastic ice cream you’ve ever had, you’ve got the Stroopwafel.
I recommend you stick it on top of a cone. Take said cone and walk the streets of the Red Light District, waving at the nice ladies in the windows. Then you can call it a day.

*I was going to say high out of your mind, but that goes without saying for you. You degenerate.

Wow! So viele leckere Sachen, dass man sich gar nicht entscheiden mag. Eis-​Crème und Sorbet (man darf auch kosten!), Kuchen und Törtchen, heiße Schokolade, Milchshakes u.v.m. Die Preise muss man zwar erstmal verdauen, aber es lohnt sich!
