Now that the Netherlands (or Holland as the world knows us) played in the final of  the World Soccer cup in South Africa Dutch orange fever (our national colors!) is around us here in Amsterdam let’s look at a true Dutch store named “IJSCUYPJE” or freely translated Little bowl of Ice.


Already back in the early 19th century the Dutch were known for their creamy ice cream made out of the best dairy! A true Dutch looking store has revived this old Dutch tradition by making in their various locations fresh creamy and lovely full tasty ice cream. Great, traditionally made ICE CREAM in many “honest “Dutch tastes like  DUTCH SPECULAAS, DUTCH BITTERKOOKIES  and  DUTCH CHOCOLATE are some of the 20 or so tastes that are made in every store and always fresh.Simple look and feel with a Dutch delft blue touch makes the stores inviting and fresh.


In winter, when Ice cream sales are down the stores serve bio organic Dutch take away meals. Nice hearty Dutch Hotchpot…or Stampot as we call it make an easy and tasty meal. All prepared according to old and genuine recipes … Made out of potato, vegetables and sometimes meat ….they are easy and tasty alike.
