Vlaamsch Broodhuys

I like this one on Haarlemmerstraat the most. Great selection of sandwiches, decent coffee options, smoothies, tarts and a perfect gezzelig atmosphere.
The service is on the good side, wifi available and I see it as the perfect place to rest a bit if you are a tourist in Amsterdam. Decent prices, not too crazy full. Yep, nothing fancy but gets the job done.
They only accept pin.

.Omg this place is amazing. We randomly wandered in on a quiet morning and were one of the only patrons enjoying breakfast. The whole menu looked amazing and had a lot of trouble deciding. We ended up getting a sampler of sorts which came with bread and different items to eat with it from chicken salad to different cheeses. It was absolutely amazing. There bread is delicious as well and you could just eat it alone. This place is a must try!

Great sandwiches, best bread, comfy location. Delicious!

WOW! That is the best way to explain this bakery. Entering this place, you have to respect that you are entering an art studio of bread. This place shows you the possibilities in bread making like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The prices are also very reasonable
You’ll never be able to taste everything they have to offer here but it is certainly worth a try. Of course me being very habitual, I opted for a very simply Saucijzenbroodje and Sausage bread. Both were very good and were clearly better than ones you get at most place. They have sandwiches and all kinds of stuff here. This is a must-​see place, especially for breakfast.

There are some bakeries where you question the tastiness of the goods. They either look bland, like they’ve been sitting out too long or like they’re made with low quality ingredients. There are others, like Vlaamsch Broodhuys, where this is no question in your mind that everything you try will be a piece of heaven.
Our first taste of heaven was of an Apricot Tart. Sweet and tangy with a thin yet sturdy buttery crust. We then sampled the Currant loaf, which was dense and chock full of currants. It was delicious and not too sweet, so I think they used unsweetened currants. We ended up getting a loaf of sourdough with salted almonds and Fiji ginger instead, since we couldn’t finish 2 loaves and the latter sounded more unique (I still cried a little inside for my beloved Currant bread). I never would have guessed that almonds and ginger went so well together and I love learning about new flavor combinations. I highly recommend any of these 3 items and I fully plan on going back once more before I leave.
The lady who helped us is now my favorite person ever. Yes, an overstatement, but she was as patient as a nun while we took ages to decide what to get. She gave us delicious samples of the bread and when we realized they didn’t accept cash for payment (due to past robberies in the area), she even offered to use her credit card so that we could still «pay» and not go home empty-​handed. I don’t know her name but she’s tall and blonde (yeah I know, not helpful in Amsterdam). Besttt eeeeeverrrr.

So, i tried the sandwiches here — the mackerel sandwich and veal sandwich and they were both delicious. Lots of filling and delicious spreads inside the sandwich and the bread is just right — not too thick.

A whole sourdough bread costs € 6. I got a half because the thing’s huge and I wouldn’t be able to finish it before it goes stale. I think I paid € 3.50 for half a loaf of sourdough bread, which is great because it tasted great, it was plentiful and it’s the only «safe» bread i.e. there are no raising agents used in the process of making this bread. (raising agents prohibit the intake of most minerals because they form a membrane around them in your body and you flush them out of your system without absorbing them). So if you’re feeling fatigued it’s probably because you eat too much normal bread: P. Anywho, the brownie was awesome, too! Perfect balance between mushiness, chewiness and creaminess! They have several locations. Try one of them out.

One of the Dutch reviewers described this bakery as a «bread jewelry store» and that nails it. Expensive: yes. Worth it: absolutely.
