[2025 Amsterdam Restaurant] Travel Guide for Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Updated Jun)

Amsterdam had me deep in my bike-riding, stroopwafel-scarfing, canal-staring, “should I move here and start a new life with a Dutch architect?” era. Every corner? A postcard. Every local? Dressed like they just walked out of a COS campaign. And yes, I almost got hit by a bike daily — but honestly, the aesthetic trauma was worth it. Red lights. Green energy. Brown cafés. This city runs on organized chaos and irresistible charm. 10/10 would catch feelings again. #AprilBlooms #Amsterdam #TheNetherlands #CuteButChaotic #DutchMeOutside #CanalCore #MainCharacterAbroad

Whoever invented the crookie deserves a Nobel Prize, a Netflix docuseries, and maybe a lil’ kiss. This Amsterdam crookie? BABY. It’s not just a pastry—it’s an emotionally unavailable lover wrapped in butter and sugar. Flaky AF croissant on the outside, with a cookie center that’s gooey, unhinged, and hotter than your ex’s rebound. One bite in and I blacked out on a canal bench like a Victorian widow—eyes rolling, knees weak, soul ascending. She’s golden, glossy, and gives zero warning before wrecking your entire sense of taste. I swear I caught feelings somewhere between the second layer of pastry and the melted chocolate chip. If you’re in Amsterdam and don’t try this? That’s a red flag. You deserve better. You deserve this crookie. 11/10 would ghost a Hinge match just to fly back for another bite. 📍Lourens, Oude Leliestraat, Amsterdam, Netherlands #AprilBlooms #Amsterdam #Crookie #AmsterdamEats #PastryProblems #FlakyAndTaken #DessertThatFlirts
