Sticky fingers Amsterdam, a sweet walhalla
Sticky Fingers Amsterdam is the new pink, sweet place where you want to spend your Sunday mornings. Oh well, actually every day of the week. It’s not the flamingo pink interior that’s making this new hotspot a sweet spot, it’s the menu that’s causing problems with your New Year’s resolutions. Cakes, cakes and cakes is what you’re ordering next to your cup of tea or coffee.
Our mouth was watering when we saw all the cute and delicious banoffee, raspberry and appel cakes standing in the showcase. What to choose? We took the banoffee and raspberry ones and were one of those people who can’t get enough, so we took another quiche and a coconut macaroon, #guilty. The coconut macaroons are warm and covered with sauce, so good! Oh and definitely order a good coffee and sit on the pink high chairs behind the window to look at the chaos outside. Perfect spot for people watching!
