Sure, Amsterdam isn’t warm & sunny year-round, but that doesn’t mean Amsterdammers don’t crave ice cream. Whenever we need a cool, sweet treat, we hop on our bikes and zip over to Massimo Gelato. With flavours like fresh summer peach & tangy, creamy ricotta, their gelato is truly the best. Save yourself a trip to Italy and grab a scoop (or three) here.

Scandinavian Embassy is a sweet little bakery just across the street from the Sarphatipark. Tuck into one of their 'kanelbullar' (cinnamon buns, for the non-Scandinavians amongst us) or grab a seasonal Scandinavian brew.

When you get a manicure done at Artist Lab, there’s absolutely no need to come back a week later (we swear they really never chip). But the team is so lovely and the lacquer jobs so good that you just might be compelled. Want 10% off? Register to be a Venturer on gloobles.com.
