Café 't Papeneiland, suddenly became world-famous when Bill Clinton wandered in for a piece of their famous apple pie. You can find 't Papeneiland on the corner of the Prinsengracht and the Brouwersgracht, where it has been since 1642. The story goes that at the beginning of the 17th century, Prinsengracht 7 concealed a secret Catholic church and that this church could be reached through a tunnel starting in Café 't Papeneiland. However, now used as storage, the entrance of the tunnel can still be found below Café 't Papeneiland. Since the building was constructed in 1642, it always served as a store/pub with a small living area. The current state of the interior is not a very big difference with how it used to be during the 17th century when you could buy here pots and bottles of beer and wine on the side.
In 1896 it got fully licensed as a pub, and carried the name Café De Blauwe Druif (the blue grape), until the renovation in 1956 where the facade was brought back to its original crow-stepped gable. And the name change to Café 't Papeneiland. Where it was exploited in line, by Aunt Marie, Tiel sr. and currently Tiel jr.
