Kaashuis Tromp

A neighborhood cheese shop slightly off the beaten tourist path of the 9 Streets, but visited by locals and tourists alike. You can spend some significant time sampling the cheese here before making your [very difficult] purchase decisions!
In addition to cheese, Tromp also has an awesome bakery section of sweet pastries, breads and affordable made to order sandwiches. Skip the Albert Heijn To-​Go section next door and satisfy that lunchtime craving here instead!
The people who work here are really helpful and if you don’t see what you’re looking for? Just reach out — because sometimes you just prefer that someone else grates your pecorino romano and they’re more than willing to help with that! Vacuum sealing your purchase is also an option for tourists who want to bring some cheese back home. My only minor complaint is that sometimes you really just want a small portion (100g or so) of a certain cheese but more often than not, you’ll end up with much more than you asked for. But just shut up and eat the cheese, it’s all good :)

Amazing sandwich selection.
I know, I know, this is a cheese store, but they also have fresh made sandwiches. So you can try their amazing cheese on hearty bread with toppings that highlight the amazing flavors. I was so sad that I discovered this place on my last day. I’m salivating just thinking about the sandwiches.
My husband said probably all cheese shops have sandwiches. Not true. We went into other cheese shops after this and didn’t find it. Therefore, I have to direct you to this place if you are ever in Amsterdam. You will not be disappointed!

One of my two favorite cheese shops in the city. The staff is always helpful and ready to offer samples if there are not already bowls of cheese out. I always end up walking away with too much cheese.

This cheese shop is on the lower tip of the Jordaan neighborhood next to 9 streets, off the tourist beaten path.
Service was friendly and helpful– me being new to cheeses from the Netherlands, the staff were patient with my questions. The store set up was great if you are shopping for Gouda as they had samples of each available. I fell in love with the black truffle Gouda (over the white truffle). I asked which one was the most popular and I was introduced to a goat cheese Gouda that was also became a top favorite.
30 euros later my choices were made. Prices were per based by weight at 100g intervals. Prices were about € 3 per 100g.
Wondering how best to take with me through an airport, the staff vacuum packed my cheese ready for transport!
Great neighborhood cheese shop and I would recommend it to folks new to cheese looking for great cheese with attentive service.
