Dear Aa readers,
Picture this: It is a beautiful day, no responsibilities are in the way of your joy: no harassment from co-workers, no university deadlines, a mellow Sault song is playing in the background, and rays of sunshine are falling onto your kitchen table.
You have made the executive decision to have a wonderful yet simple breakfast, either on your lonesome or with your friends that get the vision. The spread is perfect: fresh berries, the Bialetti is doing it’s thing for the first cup of coffee and you finally decide to open that jar of jam that you have been saving for a “special occasion”. And now a conundrum presents itself: are you gonna go to the supermarket to get a baguette that could easily be used as a self-defense weapon or a loaf that can just be described as sad? The answer is neither. If there is one thing we know, it is where to get amazing bread in Amsterdam.

Bakkerij Wolf
Right in the heart of the 9streets you will find Bakkerij Wolf. A hole-in-the-wall sourdough paradise. A big plus: They also have delicious pastries and a nice café for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.
P.S. They recently opened a second location on Rozengracht
Fort Negen
Fort Negen is undoubtedly one of our all-time favorites. Located in Amsterdam West you will find super fresh sourdough, delicious wholegrain bread, and really creative baked goods. Make sure to come early before they sell out.
Louf
Right next to Binnenvisser, Louf is the perfect place to pick up a fresh loaf of bread for your next dinner party or to just treat yourself to a treat and coffee in the sun.
→ our all-time favorites include their egg croissant, cookies, and any seasonal pastry tbh.
Bakkerij Mater
Lovely! You will find Bakkerij Mater in DePijp and prepare to be delighted. With their open kitchen concept, the bread is being made in front of your eyes. Delicious bread with a big focus on craftsmanship (PS: try the cinnamon roll)
Noordermarkt
How could we skip the farmers market, when you are in search of fresh produce? There are plenty of bakery stands. Just see for yourself and tell us about your favourite 😉
Gebr. Niemeijer
French style bakery that will end your quest for a great baguette once in for all.
Levain et le vin
On adore! At levain et le vin you’ll find delicious sourdough, tartelletes, natural wines and their daily specials are always a highlight (try to get your hands on the focaccia!). The interior is perfect for a little solo stroll and have your main character moment.
Rise bakery
Scrumptious bread and super friendly staff!
Ulmus Bakery
Ulmus Bakery is so adorable and their organic sourdough baked goods are just what you need for your breakfast spread. Next to their sourdough, make sure to try the seasonal Bombolinis.
Bakhuys
Do yourself a favor and go to this family owned bakery and treat yourself to a fresh loaf of bread and try their homemade hazelnut spread with it
Breadwinner
We needed to add at least one Bagel place, and Breadwinner truly is the winner for us. Fairly priced and simply delicious, their bagels will definitely satisfy that sunday morning bagel craving.
Kometen Brood & Café
Hop on your bike and make your way to Noord to get your hands on Kometen Brood’s delightful pastries and bread! A welcoming and cosy spot, you shouldn’t miss. And if the location in Noord is too far for you, you can also have a taste of their baked goods at their Loket at Marineterrein.
Now that you know the best spots, try them all and choose your favorite.
Xx, Aa
