The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.

    First November then January!! Can’t get enough of this cookies!
    The first time we tried them we had to order them online for collection since the queue was too long to wait for. After collecting them we tried them as they were still warm, these are one of the best cookies we’ve eaten in ages. They only have one type but that’s all you need. My family loves Chocolate and anything with it so they found them great. I have to say for me they’re too big since I’m not a chocoholic in general but still if I am to eat a cookie this will be it.

    Worth the hype no regrets
    Amazing cookies definitely worth the hype. I’ve seen some bad reviews but I honestly cannot understand how because these cookies are to DIE for! They make them in front of you fresh in the shop, there was a bit of a line out the door but it was sooo worth it. Melted white chocolate in the middle and still warm I couldn’t think of anything better. They are not even expensive. Would definitely recommend.

    It feels like the cookis dropped from heaven
    The most tasty cookie that i tasted. Order online and skip the line! The line out side the bakery is very long approximately 20-30 minutes long. If you order on line just push the golden buzzer on the entrance and walla.

    Chocolate Cookies worth the wait.
    I am a Cookie Monster. But they hafta be good for me to comment. I was walking along a street in Amsterdam when i saw a line of people. I asked 2 girls at the end of the line what everyone was waiting for and they said Cookies. Well, i like a good Cookie so i went to the front and peeked into the tiny shop. There were only 3 girls working there. 2 rolled and baked the Cookies and one sold them. I decided to get in line. I returned behind the 2 girls and they asked if i was staying? I said yes. And they said if you are, the end of the line is over there. They pointed across the street and up a ways. The line was that long that it crossed the street. I waited about 15 minutes before i was served. They only make 1 kind of Cookie. It’s a dark chocolate cookie with a lump of melted white chocolate in the center. The wait was definitely worth it. I have gone back several times. Make sure you stop and i think that you will agree.

    Worth it
    Go early and arrive at 9.30ish then you’re only waiting 25 min and will definitely get some. Probably not worth waiting over an hour and wasting time in the middle of the day. We went early then by 10am had got them and could get on with our day. Delicious cookies too

    Delicious, but be prepared to wait in line. They close for the day when they sell out of cookies so go earlier in the day. The line moves fairly quickly but it was still a 25 minute wait. They only offer one flavor though so make sure it's what you want before you stand in line!

    Worth the hype
    Saw this on TikTok and it’s absolutely worth it. They only do one cookie really good! It’s 2 for €5 for 6 for €12.50. The line looks big but it moves quickly. We went mid-day and only queued about 10 minutes. They’re served warm in a lovely presentation box, or there’s an option to pay more to have them in a souvenir tin. Join the hype, it’s kinda fun.

    TOP COOKIES-TOP COMPANY
    I ordered & prepaid 5 boxes (incl 4 iron cans) with cookies to give to friends as they are really the top of cookies, but when we picked up the lady owner said that it could be good only for 4 days in the fridge and we would travel after Amsterdam to London. We took only 2-3 boxes as afraid that they would go wrong. I gave them directly to my kids/friends in Amsterdam. The lady was excellent entrepreneur , as she attmid that it should show on the orderform and she paid back 100%. TOP COOKIES-TOP COMPANY

    Worth the wait
    Long wait but worth it. The cookies are very reasonably priced at 2,5 a piece and one is enough per person. It does take quite a bit of time to get your turn nonetheless they are tasty.

Waited approx 45mins for the cookie and was very disappointed. It was a decent cookie, but that’s about it. Tasted nice but was not worth the wait unfortunately. The cookies are small, not very gooey and are nothing spectacular. Seemingly lots of people agreed, as I could tell from their expressions while eating! They’re worth the price, but not worth the queue

All the hype is true - these cookies are amazing. On a chilly rainy fall day, we waited in line at Van Stapele Koekmakerij for our opportunity to buy cookies! While waiting in line, we chatted with a staff member who was helping with crowd control. She told us that some patrons fly in once a month to stock up on the famous cookies. Our 30-minute wait was worth it. The Van Stapele shop is very small, but as you enter, you are able to watch staff make the popular Chocolate Cookies. We only bought four, but we should have gotten more. Absolutely delectable cookies!!

These cookies are super-hiped on social media, and while they taste good, they are not worth the 1+ hour of waiting in line. Order them online beforehand and then just pick them up.

My colleague from Schenker brought me cookies today. I never heard of Van Stapele cookies. I didn't heat them up but cold they are also delicious. Next time when I buy them I will try them warm. Thank you very much for the nice breakfast :)

Best cookie in Amsterdam. They do only one type of cookie - a chocolate one with a vanilla centre and it is simply amazing. You'll have to wait for 30 min in line to get these but it's worth the wait.

If you think you found the end of the queue, look again, as it usually splits across the roads and bridges :) But it moves fast, as they only have one type of cookies, freshly baked. We were in queue with over 100 people ahead of us, but took 20 minutes. Cookies are quite delicious.

To die for cookies,
They are so fresh and delicious, they make batches as they go, could not recommend more.

Luckily when we went it was a tiktok hype but the queue wasn’t too long, even if the queue is slightly long these are to wait for.

I would recommend getting more than 4 if you are sharing as you crave more. They are so soft to bite into and the inside is lush. Quick and friendly service as well as prices being fair.

Easy to locate shop, definitely recommended.

The best cookies I have ever eaten! They are worth every penny. Even though the queue might look long, if only took us 10ish minutes. Even if it is longer, WAIT!

Delicious cookies!! Can’t put into words how tasty these cookies are, best eaten warm as they are slightly melted and just amazing. We arrived around 10:30am and there was already a queue outside but it went down in under 10 minutes - would queue for longer for these cookies though! Would highly recommend for a sweet treat on the go. Super cute and old fashioned shop as well - felt very traditional :)
