Salvo Bakery

Any pistachio lover here? You know I am! 😋 Roaming Amsterdam, we happened to walk by Salvo, a 🥐 pastry shop / ☕ coffee shop with very good ratings on Maps 🗺️, very few products but many of which had pistachio filling: much appealing. 🤩 We had to try something. Let's be honest, I wanted the pistachio soft bun, but my son wanted the pistachio cornetto. And you know how kids are, if you don't let them choose once 1️⃣, they accuse you of never letting them choose 😅, so I had to order what he wanted... 🤦 To compensate, I ordered a speculoos cookie too. 😇 I think that was a great decision cause the cookie 🍪 was great and the balance between the dough, the white chocolate and the speculoos spread was on point. 👍 On the contrary, I was kinda disappointed by the cornetto 🥐. The dough was too sweet (that's why it wasn't a croissant) and the filling was some kind of pistachio flavored pastry cream, whereas I was expecting pistachio spread. I didn't like it too much. 🫤 The place was nice, quite minimalist (it's trending nowadays) and we could find a spot to sit, even though our table was absurdly small and low. I found everything very expensive: €3.25 for an espresso and €5 for each of the pastries we had... 😯 In fact I left that place not with great memories of the experience, but with some knowledge on how to maximize profit when you're a small coffee shop: no table service, very few products and expensive prices. You would think people pass their way? No, no, they even queue! 🙄 Well.. so did I, TBH, but at least I was a tourist so I have a good excuse. 😜 . . .
