A newspaper, a cup of coffee, a glass of orange juice, and a thick, fat, flaky croissant. The perfect recipe for a Sunday morning, but where can you find the best croissants in Amsterdam? Luckily, there are plenty of bakeries (both Dutch and French) that bake them incredibly well, with a thousand layers and a real buttery flavor. At these spots, you can pick up and eat the tastiest croissants in Amsterdam. Bon appétit!

PUUR YONNIE, an ode to Jonnie Boer.
Today I had the honor of being at @delibrijezwolle for the book launch of @jonnie_en_therese.
I spent the whole evening reading and flipping through the pages.
WHAT A BOOK.
What stories.
WHAT AN ODE.
Love, Nature, Pioneer, Fatherhood, Music, Jonnie's Foundation, Friendship, Suppliers, Local products, Relaxation, Entrepreneurship, Humor & The pure human being.
Everything passes by, beautifully written by @joel.broekaert.
With contributions from, among others, @nelsontanate, @rekkebus, @ronblaauwtje, @jorisbijdendijk, @sidney_schutte & @hvw043.

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢
@tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality.
It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3.
In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds.
Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤

@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

A cookbook from Grandma. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home.
The Sühring brothers do not cook based on trends; they cook from memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations.
@relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care.
This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception.
Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly?
🍴 Labskaus with caviar
🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar
🍴 Game pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules.
Important to know:
– Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket)
– For personal use only
– Do not scoop or scrape the soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing.
In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them without much effort. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

From a free event to try new Limited Subs at @ijveramsterdam to slow mornings, a market stroll (or two), maybe finally ticking off that new restaurant that's been on your list for weeks… and ending somewhere with a good glass of wine while telling yourself “just one more” 😉

19 of the tastiest croissants in Amsterdam to try now
Sebastien's Fournil
As far as I'm concerned, there's only one place to get the absolute best croissants in Amsterdam, and that's at Le Fournil de Sebastien. A French bakery like you'd expect from La Douce France, with shelves overflowing with baguettes, chouquettes, pains au chocolat, and financiers. And of course, croissants: they're stacked row after row, and you can see the Saturday morning line from a distance. Be warned: one bite, and you'll never want anything else.
Olympiaplein 119, Amsterdam – lefournil.nl
Niemeijer brothers
Okay, okay. Of course, there are other places in Amsterdam where you can get a decent croissant. Gebroeders Niemeijer in the city center is one of them and has been a favorite bakery for many Amsterdammers for years. They also have delicious French classics on the counter, like fougasse (those beautiful braided loaves), canelés, tarte au citron, and croissants.
Nieuwendijk 35, Amsterdam – gebroedersniemeijer.nl
Grams
Fluffy and layered, and always oh so beautiful. The croissants at Grammes are delicious for both the eyes and the stomach. The owner has French roots and therefore certainly respects traditions. A "regular" croissant is always enough for us at Grammes, but the Pain au Chocolate is also a real crowd-pleaser.
Maasstraat 16, Amsterdam – grammes.nl
Salvo Bakehouse
At Salvo, they're experts at filling things. It might sound strange, but we're referring to their maritozzi with their delicious fillings. Luckily, the same goes for their croissants. The one filled with pistachio cream is the one everyone queues for. We get it.
Second Hugo de Grootstraat 9, Amsterdam – salvobakehouse.com
Fort Nine
Fort Negen is the talk of the town. It's certainly because of their excellent products, served with a smile. No matter how busy it is. Maarten and his team are constantly experimenting and have new specials every weekend. Something with cheese and kimchi, for example, is always our favorite on a croissant here.
Jan Evertsenstraat 32, Amsterdam – fortnegen.nl

City bakery As
Restaurant As was a favorite of ours for years. We were sad when they closed. Fortunately, they're continuing the magic with Stadsbakkerij As, so we can still enjoy a little of their knowledge and expertise. They're kings of the basics here, so you can't go wrong with their plain croissant.
Conradstraat 471, Amsterdam – broodvanas.nl
The Bakhuys
Around the corner from Weesperplein is Het Bakhuys: a large bakery for sandwiches to go, but also a place to sit and enjoy. The croissants are excellent, as are the currant buns (optionally with cheese!).
Sarphatistraat 61, Amsterdam – bakhuys-amsterdam.nl
| TIP: Do you also love sourdough bread? Check out our list of bakeries in Amsterdam with sourdough bread >>
Lance Crown
For over 110 (!) years, Lanskroon bakery has been a household name in Amsterdam. It's the place for stroopwafels, granola, and... croissants! It's a great spot for locals, but also perfect for a day trip, as Lanskroon is located in the city center and has a tearoom.
Singel 385, Amsterdam – lanskroon.nl
Saint-Jean
Everything at Saint-Jean is beautiful and stylish. The decor, the staff, the people queuing, and thankfully, the products they make. Fun fact: everything here is vegan-friendly! Of course, you won't taste anything, because oh, how delicious it all is. Better to sit in than take away; you'll find their deli across the street.
Lindegracht 158h, Amsterdam – saintjean.nl

Even more croissants in Amsterdam
Comet Café
Kometen Café owes its name to Kometenstraat, the place where this adventure began. During the pandemic, they baked for the neighborhood, and now they have a brand-new and beautiful spot at NDSM. They bake with passion, and you can definitely taste it in their croissants. Not in the mood for a croissant? Try the pain au chocolate with salted caramel, sesame, and miso.
MS van Riemsdijkweg 2, Amsterdam – cometbread.nl
Pantopia
Beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful. Everything at Pantopia looks…well, to eat. The pastries are displayed on pedestals, as if you're stepping into a gallery. And importantly: they're delicious! The croissant tarts are an instant hit, so if you're a croissant lover, you're in the right place.
Church Street 163, Amsterdam – pantopia.nl
The Last Crumb
Looking for something tasty after shopping? Then head to De Laatste Kruimel. Coffee, quiches, pastries, and don't forget croissants.
Langebrugsteeg 4, Amsterdam – delaatsteruimel.nl
Ulmus Bakery
Just around the corner from Fort Negen and with slightly shorter lines. Here too, people with a huge passion for their craft (baking) and a strong focus on local products. They can even tell you which miller the grains come from. The almond croissant is our absolute favorite.
Cabralstraat 7, Amsterdam – ulmusbakkerij.nl
Bakers of the East
The taste of Amsterdam, wrapped in bread. At Bakkers van Oost, we always listen to our customers' wishes to bake the best and most delicious bread possible. This bread is worth the detour!

Margos
Once again, completely vegan! Margo's in the Jordaan (and their second location) is tucked away in a lovely corner of Amsterdam. Their ham and cheese croissant is delicious, and we always order it with a matcha. Totally HDP.
First Tuindwarsstraat 2A, Amsterdam – margosamsterdam.com
Bakery Wolf
Imagine yourself in Scandinavia, but right here in the Nine Streets. Stepping into Bakkerij Wolf feels like a warm welcome, and we much prefer ordering "to stay" rather than to go. Especially because they serve the croissants so deliciously with butter and jam. Yum.
Wolvenstraat 22, Amsterdam – bakerywolf.nl
Kessens
Kessens on Rozengracht specializes in breakfast, brunch, and lunch. You can find sandwiches, soups, and salads all day long. Besides their delicious croquettes, they also serve croissants with butter and jam. And for those in a hurry: they also offer convenient takeout!
ROzengracht 24, Amsterdam – kessensamsterdam.nl
Bakery Louf
Louf is located next to Binnenvisser, and that's no coincidence. The owners took over the building next door and turned it into an equally impressive gem. Their head baker learned to bake at Bakkerij Ex, so that's a no-brainer. It's a shame to go for a "regular" croissant at Louf (although they're incredibly delicious), but they make truly excellent toppings here. For example, with omelet and goat cheese.
Bilderdijkstraat 38-40, Amsterdam – bakkerijlouf.nl
Rise Bakery
Last but not least! Rise is located on the Albert Cuyp Market, making it the perfect place to combine a day at the market. Start your day here early, pop in for a good coffee and croissant, and wander around the market and through the Pijp district. We bet your day will be perfect.
