Het Oud-Hollandsch Snoepwinkeltje

So sad to visit here from Canada and she wouldn’t take my money! I went out of my way to get to the store, was so happy to find it only to realize that she only takes cash...I only had US dollars or visa - she took neither!!! Instead she suggested I go to the ATM which I did however it wouldn’t take my visa or interac...I came back with tears in my eyes, begging to take the US as this was our only chance and we had a bus to catch back to our port...she didn’t care! In fact her words were “what would I do with US money?” ...the fact is she could have exchanged it in her daily banking easily...she then suggested I order online.... cuz I really want to give her my business after she left me in tears!!!! I have traveled to holland for one day, waited for this day for over a year and a accomplished everything on my list except the “dubble zout” candies and I left sad....cute store with uncompassionate owner! Too late now I guess

Hej Mariska
Van harte gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag!
Hiep, hiep, hiep, hoera!
-From a lady who had a birthday last week, and a man who is now six years old forever - who both found heaven when they walked into your lovely shop... We hope you have a wonderful day.

Dag mevrouw, mijnheer,
Ik herinner mij dat er eerder een oud-Hollands snoepwinkeltje was in de Jordaan. De naam hiervan was "De kleine winst" Eigenaar en eigenaresse hiervan waren de heer en mevrouw de Haan. (aardige mensen )Het is al lang geleden, meer dan 35 jaar, maar bent u hiermee bekend? Ik vraag mij af wat er van hen is geworden, had destijds een goed contact.. Graag ontvang ik nader bericht , als u hier meer hierover weet. Met dank voor uw moeite

Hi i have missed you so much. My father brought a fantastic selection of the best of the best candy from your shop. I am now giving most away to my class. So I can promote your shop and make it known over the whole world. I make a letter and put it with the snoep in small bags. I tell about the shop and that I have known you all my life. Thank you so much for being my friend.

Hi, I am wondering, do you make a soft, buttery licorice? From my childhood memories, I remember my grandfather bringing us the best licorice I had ever tasted, but sadly, after his passing, so many years ago, I have been unable to locate and enjoy that same buttery flavor, from long ago! I so hope you will be able to fulfill that childhood dream, long past.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Kathy

Zo die verzendkosten zijn wel bizar hoog! Via DHL kan je al voor 5 euro een pakket (vrij groot en een aantal kilo's versturen) en die verpakkingskosten?

Jammer maar ik bestel hier niet ivm de hoge kosten

Was aan het bestellen, maar bij het zien van de verzendkosten van 13 euro op een bestelling van 18 euro maar snel gestopt, jammer.

My most favourite candy store in the world..

Your shop is the definition of a child's dream or imagination of a candy store, and it never fails to put a smile on my face!
My sister and her husband live there in Amsterdam, they always bring us fresh licorice when they visit us in Toronto, Canada. It's my most favourite souvenir!

I'll continue to tell anyone that visits Amsterdam to visit your store!! Danke!

I came to your lovely shop in March with my daughter. We were from Texas. You gave me a great selection of both sweet and salty licorice while customers waited patiently in line. You have the best licorice I have ever had in my life!! You made my trip to Amsterdam the best with your smile and kind heart. I had seen your shop on Andrew Zimmerman's show!! Talking to you and having your delicious candy was the highlight of my trip and I cherish the picture we took together. I hope to bring my other daughter to Amsterdam and you will be the first stop on our list

Thank you☺

What a selection of the finest candies, especially the licorice! Mariska, thank you for your help in choosing the best samples for me. Your store was a highlight of my trip to Amsterdam!
I loved your candy store and will be ordering online too! I am sharing the licorice with others and am giving them your website info.
Your shop is truly a one of a kind treat.

Jarig!
Van harte gefeliciteerd!
En nou beter worden hoor!

Wat een mooie website, net als je gevel mooi opgeknapt!
