Metropolitan

Pastry room, chocolate heaven, ice cream palace?there are many ways to describe Metropolitan, Dutch chocolatier Kees Raat's shop on the Warmoestraat. Metropolitan is the place to start your day with a chocolate breakfast and a ristretto, or to try 20 different flavours of gelato, chocolate mud cake, New York cheesecake, ":bean to bar": chocolate, poffertjes (small Dutch pancakes), hot chocolate, waffles, fruit sticks, fresh juices, stroopwafels, and a chocolate fountain waiting to cover anything with a delicious chocolate sauce.

Everything is homemade, using only fresh and natural ingredients of the best quality. The milk comes from a small organic farm just north of Amsterdam, and the cocoa beans come straight from The Dominican Republic.
