Bakeries

French Boulangerie - the fluffiest croissants, crunchy baguettes and lots of cakes, tarts and french classics. My personal favourite the canelle!! You will most likely have to wait in a queue - or place an order online and skip the queue to pick up.
Le Fournil De Sébastien

Watch the bakers make their daily bread in this quaint little bakery in Dappermarkt. Delicious sourdough bread and pastries - sweet rolls, raisin buns and lots more.

I first ate this bread in a restaurant - and asked for a second serve. Crunchy on the outside and soft an zingy on the inside. They now also make a range of other pastries, including my fave canelle (which I haven't tried yet).

The original and best (in my opinion) cinnamon or cardamon bun - pairs well with their creamy flat white - the perfect start to any morning.
Scandinavian Embassy

This place is the bomb for handheld street food from lebanon. They make these delicious wraps on the ‘saj’ - a large domed grill - right in front of you. Mostly plant based with haloumi. A must try when you are wandering the city.

Delicious Korean toasties - long queues since it was tiktoked, but if you want a toastie loaded with surprise ingredients like beef bulgoli, garlic shrimp & omelette and love matcha tea and gelato - then hit this place up. It has 2 locations arou...

Japanese ‘sando’ sandwiches and loaded fries. At the Van Woustraat end of Albert Cuyp, tucked behind the stalls you will find the shop. Try the traditional japanese egg sandwich, tonkatsu or wyagu katsu. Grab a sando and enjoy in the Sarphatipark.

Grab your gyros from the snack bar - just like in Greece. These massive gyros stuffed with tzatziki and chips are not the healthy thing you will eat, but boy will fill a spot - you will be lucky to finish it they are so big.

This is literally the best cookie you have ever eaten. It's warm and gooey, with oozy white chocolate in the middle. They only make 1 cookie - that's it. So if you're only gonna do one thing it's got to be good right? Since becoming a TikTok sensatio...

If you haven't tried these mini pancakes you haven't lived. You can get them from a food truck at most market stalls, Albert Cuyp, Noordermarkt, but my favourites are from Niewemarkt. Keep it simple: butter, lemon and sugar, or drizzle with chocolate...

Nothing beats a warm appeltaart on a cold day in Amsterdam. Winkel43 is the place everyone knows, but you can also try other cafes along the canal. You can never really go wrong with apple pie and cream in the Netherlands.

I don't know how they fit so much yum in a tiny space. The cafe itself is so 'gezellig' - or cute as the pie it serves! From cakes, quiches, slices, pastries - everything is home cooked and made on site in their tiny kitchen. These cooks are brillian...
