De Bakkerswinkel

An absolutely brilliant experience. The food is fantastic, the staff are extremely friendly, the location is near central yet not so close the place is over crowded.
It feels like a more local spot than a touristy place which was a nice escape. The café itself is also really nice, décor is pleasing and there is also and upstairs seating area alongside the ground and lower level.
Highly recommend the French toast, and he Dutch breakfast, the coffee is also very good.
My favourite place in Amsterdam.

We stopped for scones and tea. Slow service, decent scones, but amazing guayaba jam! If they had sold it in smaller, airport-​friendly containers, I would have bought a handful home. Also, interesting orange, spicy hot chocolate.

Favorite place for breakfast and lunch in Amsterdam. Great selection of food and drinks… And good service on top!

One of my favorite breakfast joints in Europe. I would die to have one of these in my home town. I love everything about Bakkerswinkel…
When you walk in on a cold morning, the smell of freshly baked pastries and comfort food drifts through your head. You feel as though you’ve been invited into a friend’s house for breakfast. The space is warm, homey and bright. We usually get there early, so they let you choose where you want to sit. They have tables and banquets, as well as community style bench seating.
For those of us who don’t speak or read Dutch, flip the menu over to the English side to peruse their breakfast/​lunch faire.
My favorites:
Quiche with Leek & Goat Cheese served with an ample side salad; or for something sweet,
Scone, Bread, Butter & Jam… the Dutch breakfast is fun… you also get gingerbread, chocolate sprinkles and cheese!
My husband loves the toast with fried eggs and cheese… I like them too. But I like the quiche more.
Breakfast is served with coffee/​tea and fresh orange juice.
…now let me tell you something about their jam. It’s home made. They give you a selection of jams to choose from and they are out of this world. My personal favorite is the Passionfruit. I loved it so much I bought a jar to take home and we ended up eating it all before we departed the city.
Their lunches are equally unique, comforting and consistently outstanding. Everything is made there.
The service is always friendly… of course it is. They’re Dutch.

Perfect spot to brunch in the center of Amsterdam!
The place is really cool and quite big. We made a reservation for four persons at 10.30 on a saturday morning. At this time the spot wasn’t that crowded already, but towards 11 am the café got filled really fast. So make sure to be there on time or to call them quickly or to make a reservation.
We had the Baker’s Breakfast with a croissant, some sourdough bread, white bread, a fruity bread and an italian one. It was more than enough. This breakfast is served with ham, cheese and three different jams. Each breakfast is served with a coffee/​tea or an orange juice/​fruitshake.
The ham is really fresh and tasty! The cheese is great as well and OHMYGOD THE JAMS!!! I loved them! Especially the one with basil in it! Soooooooo yummy! You should buy a glass of it!
The service was perfect! Friendly and attentive. We asked for a cooler for the cava — they didn’t have one, so our waiter told us to wait a moment and then came back with a bowl with icecoldwater in it, perfect!
The café is situated just in the centre, in a street running parallel the main shopping street. It’s quite fancy and has a smaller level downstairs, some places at the ground floor and some more upstairs in the gallery, from where you can see downstairs.

Amazing coffee and amazing food! I got the double Caffè latte and the French Toast breakfast. I am from the US so I expected the toast to be overly sweet and rich but it was light and delicate and I had no problem finishing it. Also, the coffee was included in the price of the breakfast. Fast service in a relaxing atmosphere. I would and probably will go here again.

This is a nice and cozy little spot for brunch or lunch! The main dining room gets lovely sunlight from the skylights and the large rustic communal table adds a very congenial feel. The quiche lorraine is fabulous and I also greatly enjoyed the fried eggs and cheese on toast. What a great little escape from the crazy hoards of tourists!

So great place for breakfast! Marvellous bread, great selection of breakfast sets. Fantastic Jams and butter. Coffee and juice included. We were here 2 Times during our stay and I choose Dutch set twice. Warm armosphere, great service.

Super cute café with delicious cakes, quiches, sandwiches and soup. Lovely atmosphere and décor.

Good breakfast or brunch spot. Charming, open and airy atmosphere. Nice communal feel. The morning menu is heavy on local (?) specialties — meaning lots of breads, carbs, cheese. There’s a decent selection of egg-​based breakfast foods below the breads. The bacon, egg and cheese meal was fine. Coffee was pleasant. I’d eat here again and would take my family.
That said, my experience is similar to Diana H’s review. The service was so inattentive, even by Amsterdam standards, that I felt completely ignored after being seated. Forget about having your coffee topped off. I was also surprised that two waitstaff stood over a customer’s fallen jacket and neither reached down to the floor to pick it up (so I took the initiative and returned her jacket to a chair). I had plenty of time to observe that in a subsequent rush of customers, the line piled up right inside the door in a very crowded and inefficient way given the blustery elements outside. A colleague had warned me ahead of time that Dutch waitstaff tend to ignore customers (visitors?), which is perhaps just a cultural difference from, say, North America…

Obwohl der Laden mitten im «Red light district» von Amsterdam ist herrscht eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Hier fühlt man sich sofort wohl. Wir waren zum Frühstück hier und hatten dementsprechend Essen bestellt. Alles war in Ordnung und hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Zum Croissant gab es sogar selbst gemachte Marmeladen.
Trotz der anderen Bewertungen war der Laden zu dem Zeitpunkt als wir hier waren nicht gut besucht. Scheinen wohl Glück gehabt zu haben.

After having lunch here for the third time I definitely had to review it on Unilocal :) awesome place to casually have breakfast or lunch. Nice menu and friendly stuff.

This place is worth a stop! The food is exactly what you want in a breakfast! Great service! Rustic and nice interior!

Excellent place for breakfast and lunch, their bakery and jams are unparalleled. I’d give a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for the extremely slow seating process. There is nothing more annoying than waiting to be seated when there are obviously free tables available + it feels like they are understaffed.

This restaurant saved us after an extreme Amsterdam night! The breakfast was unbelievably yummy (bread with eggs, bacon, & cheese) and the scones with raspberry jam were out of this world. Definitely stop in for brunch or even just a quick scone with coffee. Yum!

I’m giving 3 stars because I like their goodies so much and the ambiance is very original and hard to find elsewhere for Amsterdam. The service however is quite poor. I’ve had times where me and my friend were waiting at the counter without being welcomed for minutes. Then when I asked for the staff’s attention I got a very annoyed answer that they are full. No indication of how long the wait is, not offering to reserve a spot for later, nothing! I remember walking out once cause I didn’t feel they deserve my money.
But like I said: the food is good and the ambiance rare. So I kept coming back every now and then. I’ve had lunch and high teas here, all very tasty. It’s a perfect spot for a date with some girlfriends.
The experience could be even better if the service was better. I don’t like the way you’re welcomed to the restaurant. When it’s busy you’ll be waiting in the front and the more people are coming in, the more cramped it is. In the meantime you can look straight into the restaurant and see people eating. And on top of that you’re standing next to a counter with all types of sweets, breads and rolls. This place does quite well, so my idea is you could at least offer waiting customers a sample of something to taste and take their minds of the fact that they’re waiting.

This location was previously closed for renovations and has recently reopened.
It is a great place for breakfast or to just sit down and relax.
I highly recommend their delicious scones — available in savory or sweet. Savory is served with cream cheese and sweet is served with clotted cream and jam.
They are buttery and so perfect with a cup of coffee/​tea.

sehr nettes fruehstück, leckere marmeladen. bekamen um 11.15 uhr noch fruehstueck, obwohl auf der karte bis 11 uhr standzu empfehlen.
amsterdamer preise :(

Frische, selbstgebackene Brötchen, selbst hergestellte Marmelade, leckerer Kaffee was will man mehr? Die offene Küche ist vertrauensweckend. Wir konnten uns selbst davon überzeugen, dass unser Rührei frisch zubereitet wurde. Wir wurden sehr feundlich bedient und konnten somit gut gesättigt und entspannt in einen tollen Tag in Amsterdam starten.
De Bakkerswinkel gibt es einige Male in Amsterdam. Diese Filiale ist allerdings umgezogen und befindet sich nun in der Zeendijk Nr. 37. Ist nur die Warmoestraat weiter Richtung Bahnhof und dann rechts.
Fazit: gemütlich, lecker und guter Service

Super für Frühstück, Lunch oder Nachmittagskuchen! Soooooo lecker (Quiches, Brot, Kuchen, Marmeladen, alles!) zu vernünftigen Preisen und sehr schöner Atmosphäre.
Wenn man nicht reserviert, kann man schonmal seeehr lange warten. Wenn man nicht unbedingt spontan dahin möchte, ist es also sehr ratsam, vorher anzurufen. Der Laden war brechend voll, als ich da war, daher kam es teilweise zu längeren Wartezeiten, aber die Stimmung war so nett, dass ich es als nicht sehr schlimm empfand.

La boutique de Warmoesstraat est fermée pour cause de travaux, mais vous pouvez quand aller à celle du 37 Zeedijk, pas loin celle-​ci. Tout est bon, les mini-​sandwichs, les gateaux, les vienoiseries et même leurs pains sans oublier toutes leurs confitures et leurs petits déjeuners sont parfaites avec les formules, moi c’est le petit déjeuner français, qui vaut bien sinon dépassé celui de certains café parisiens .
Et en plus, c’est pas cher pour la qualité du service et des produits.
A chacunes de mes arrivées à Amsterdam, j’y cours…

Great place for breakfast! All sorts of home-​made bread and marmelade (such as pineapple with lemon and basil!).
I had Wentelteefjes which is a french toast (or Arme Ritter in German) made from fresh brioche. Delicious!!!
Cosy atmosphere. A bit like sitting at home at the kitchen table with friends.
Check the website for the correct location and other locations in Amsterdam as well as other cities in the Netherlands! The restaurant is currently at Zeedijk 37. which is close to the original location. It will move back to the old place at Warmoesstraat 69 end of 2012 after refurbishment.

LIGHT LUNCH OR AFTERNOON TEA? this place is great but everyone else thinks so too so it does get quite busy. everything is home made and amazing.

Der Laden befindet sich mitten im Getümmel von Amsterdams Red Light District. Wahnsinnig einladend schon von außen — mit tollen Leckereien wie Brownies, Kuchen, Tees — die man durch das Schaufenster bewundern kann. Das Ganze sieht auch irgendwie total hand-​made aus und hat nicht den perfekten Touch wie man es sonst so von ner Konditorei oder irgendeiner Kaffee-​Kette kennt.
Innen hat das Ganze nen ziemlichen nordischen Look: gebeizte Holz-​Flächen, viel weiß, hell, freundlich und wahnsinnig gemütlich =)
Preise sind supernormal und der Kaffee schmeckt 1a — die anderen Köstlichkeiten sicher auch!
Fazit: Hingehen und begeistert sein =)

This branch is in the more touristy area of Amsterdam and does it’s job very well.
Food is fresh and very, very tasty. Décor is cosy and eclectic and you’ll be able to relax over a meal or a light snack. I quickly became addicted to their caramel and walnut tart and admit to eating my way through 4 slices in only three visits… Yip, that good.
This is a rich concoction of gooey caramel on top of a shortbread base (with a few walnuts floating in the caramel).
Friendly staff round things off nicely.
Try their other branch in Westergasfabriek too as it’s set in a beautiful building and the area is well worth the visit and surprisingly close to Centraal station.
Did I mention that you can buy goodies to take away with you?

Uneingeschränkter Tip zum Frühstück in Amsterdam. Die vier Sterne gibts nur deshalb, weil jeder, der aus Berlin kommt und hier ein paar der großartigen Frühstückscafés kennt, im Rest der Welt immer enttäuscht sein wird. Aber De Bakkerswinkel macht das schon sehr gut, wunderbar die vielen, schwach-​gesüßten Marmeladen, die auf den Tischen rumstehen. Übrigens auch der ultimative Kontaktstart: garantiert hat er/​sie am Nachbartisch genau die Mermelade stehen, die Du nicht hast. Noch was sehr angenehmes: es ist ein wirklich breites Sprktrum an Menschen da: von hippen Teens bis zum gesetzten Herren im Tweet.

I love this place! Delicious all over!
Also one of the only places in Amsterdam (affordable) were you can acutally have a typically English high tea. Ok, its not the same, but the concept is similar. The scones are something totally different (how come theyre named scones?) but the clotted cream and homemade marmelade is extremely tasty! Ofcourse we ate way too much, and had to sit down for a least an hour before moving. Not a problem though; the interior is really cute with long wooden tables, big chairs right from the livingroom, housecats (they were mean!!!), great service, and last but not least… the smell is delicious! Freshly made bread and pies all day!
There is also one near the museumquarter, at the Roelof Hartstraat 68, and at the Westergasfabriek (Amsterdam-​West). These are both smaller and located in a less touristic area.

Dieser Laden ist einfach einen Besuch wert! Leckeres Essen von Kleinigkeiten bis ein gutes Mittagessen. Frische Säfte, selbstgemachte Quiche. Tolles Brot, Scones, etc… Auch für große Frühstücksgesellschaften geeignet — aber reservieren! Kann sein, daß man länger auf einen Platz warten muß, aber es lohnt sich! Gemischtes Publikum von alt bis jung. Schöné Atmosphäre, vll etwas laut und reges Treiben, aber interessant. Man sieht wie das Esen zubereitet wird. Nett gestaltete Karte! Und normale Preise!
