This souvenir shop is visually stunning and authentic. They have an extensive range of pottery available at different price points. The collection of postcards is unique and beautiful. Don't expect the staff to be overly friendly; they seem to be just doing their job. I felt a moment of discomfort when the cashier watched me browsing the postcards, perhaps thinking I might be trying to steal. However, I understand that this is just him protecting his business. Nonetheless, I am still interested in attending the tile painting workshop they offer, and I would definitely recommend this place.

A delightful Delft store situated in an ideal location! I found myself lost in choices while deciding what to take home. Consequently, I participated in a workshop where I painted my own tile! It’s a wonderful keepsake from Amsterdam (still awaiting delivery, though)!

I highly recommend the workshop for creating your own blue-white tile! This is an extraordinary historical site, and the workshop for painting your own blue-white Dutch tile is so enjoyable. I strongly suggest this experience as it makes for a fantastic souvenir. Don’t worry if you aren’t particularly artistic—the workshop begins with simple instructions, plenty of tips are provided, and you can choose from various templates. I had a blast! Recommendation: Make sure to book in advance as there are limited spots, and note that your tile will be ready for pickup after 2 weeks (they also provide shipping options).

This store is gorgeous and located in the heart of Amsterdam, featuring a vast collection of Delft porcelain. I spent quite some time here and left with numerous wonderful gifts for my family and friends. Unlike typical tourist souvenir shops, they offer reasonably priced items with a great selection. The woman at the counter was extremely pleasant and ensured our items were carefully packed for travel. I highly recommend this shop!
