Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam, Melly’s Cookies Bar is a heaven for cookie enthusiasts and sweet-toothed individuals alike. This delightful establishment is a part of the renowned “Too Good To Go” initiative. We recently had the pleasure of trying out a box of goodies from Melly’s, priced at €4,99. The contents exceeded our expectations, boasting a market value of at least €14,99 and probably even more. Which was definitely in line with the promised value of €14,99.
Melly’s Cookies Bar serves various cookies and traditional Dutch stroopwafels (waffles filled with syrup). Our box included a delectable assortment of three stroopwaffles with tempting toppings. While as a Dutch girl, I personally lean towards the simplicity of regular stroopwafels, the adorned versions were a delightful surprise for those seeking a more decadent experience.
The star of the show was undoubtedly the soft and gooey chocolate cookie that graced our box. With a perfect balance of sweetness and richness, it easily secured its spot as one of the best cookies I’ve ever had. The sheer indulgence of each bite left a lasting impression, making it a must-try for any cookie lover.
Adding an extra layer of sweetness to our Melly’s experience was the inclusion of a Cinnabon “bun.” This twist on the classic cinnamon roll was both visually appealing and scrumptious. The combination of soft dough, aromatic cinnamon, and sweet glaze made it a true delight for our taste buds.
While I couldn’t find the exact prices online, a quick estimation suggests that a single stroopwaffle with toppings might cost around €4-€5 elsewhere. Considering the diverse array of treats we received in our box, the overall value easily surpassed the modest €4,99 price tag. The commitment to affordability and reducing food waste aligns seamlessly with Too Good To Go’s mission.
The diverse selection of cookies, stroopwaffles, and the delightful Cinnabon “bun” showcase the creativity and dedication that goes into every creation. For those with a penchant for sweets, a visit to Melly’s is a journey into a world of affordable decadence, where every bite tells a story of passion for baking and a commitment to sustainability. Beyond the taste, the experience at Melly’s Cookies Bar reinforces the idea that indulgence doesn’t have to come at a high cost, either to your wallet or to the environment. The generous portions and attention to detail make it clear that this establishment values both its customers and the broader community.
In summary, Melly’s Cookies Bar is more than just a spot to grab a treat—it’s an experience that blends the joy of indulgence with a responsible approach to food consumption. Whether you’re a local or a visitor in Amsterdam, this gem offers a sweet escape that won’t disappoint.
