Sourdough bread is hot in Amsterdam and I can only applaud that, because there's almost nothing as satisfying as sinking your teeth into a perfect slice of bread with salted butter or olive oil. Fortunately, there are more and more bakers in the capital who understand how to bake good sourdough bread. Ideal for every day! We collected 25 X bakers with the most delicious sourdough bread in Amsterdam.

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢 Straight from the airport to this little spot to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉
Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away. During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies alike, where there is plenty to do. · A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea. · Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round. · Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting. · Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold now, but there is plenty to do. · The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!). Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { In this post, I share tips for the Ebro Delta in Spain (Delta de l'Ebre).

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. 🤤 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam serving premium sushi omakase in De Pijp }
𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲́ 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆? @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 Center 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! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck

25 X The best sourdough bread in Amsterdam

Levain and Le Vin

On weekends, lines form outside Florence's Levain et Le Vin. She recently opened her bakery, but she's already attracting customers everywhere. Not only are the round boules avid, but the cinnamon rolls and focaccia are also mouthwatering. Also a bonus: she sells a fine selection of (natural) wines.
Jan Pieter Heijestraat 168, Amsterdam – levainetlevin.com

Bakery Wolf

Bakery on one side, restaurant on the other. Wolf has a wealth of experience, and you can taste it. You can find the most delicious breads and pastries here every day. Don't feel like making them at home? Of course, you can have lunch here with their freshly baked bread. Highly recommended.
Wolvenstraat 22, Amsterdam, Amsterdam – bakerywolf.nl

City Bakery As

Restaurant As was a favorite of ours for years. We were therefore sad when they closed. Fortunately, they continue the magic with Stadsbakkerij As, so we can still enjoy a little of their knowledge and expertise. Their slogan is "for sourdough and everything that goes well with bread," so this is the perfect place for sourdough bread.
Conradstraat 471, Amsterdam – broodvanas.nl

Baking with Passion

And they really do bake with passion at this bakery in the non-market section of Albert Cuypstraat! The facade is entirely made of glass, so your gaze is immediately drawn to the tables laden with breads, baguettes, croissants, and all sorts of other goodies.
Albert Cuypstraat 53, Amsterdam – bakkenmetpassie.nl

Sébastien's Fournil

It's a tricky claim, but I dare say it: at Le Fournil de Sébastien, you'll find the very best croissants and baguettes in town. There, I said it. The line outside reminds you it's Saturday morning, but luckily, it usually moves pretty quickly. Go here. Buy lots of bread. Enjoy.
Olympiaplein 119, Amsterdam – lefournil.nl

Hartog's Whole Wheat

Hartog's Volkoren has been the go-to place for whole wheat bread in Amsterdam for years. Their signature loaves are baked fresh all day long on Wibautstraat and are incredibly delicious. The spelt bread is made with 100% sourdough, the other with a mix of yeast and sourdough. Both are equally good, so good luck choosing!
Wibautstraat 77, Amsterdam – wholewheatbread.nl

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. But of course, they also offer their usual favorite: excellent bread.
Jan Evertsenstraat 32, Amsterdam – fortnegen.nl

Wils Bakery

What happens when a top chef (hi Joris Bijdendijk) and his team dedicate themselves to baking bread? Magic, that's what happens. Wils Bakery is a bistro and bakery rolled into one. Come here for fresh bread to take home, or for a fantastic French lunch.
Stadionplein 24, Amsterdam – restaurantwils.nl

Noé Boulangerie & Patisserie Bio

The French are passionate about baking bread, and Noah on Vijzelgracht has them follow French tradition. Here you'll always find what you need for your daily bread, croissants, and other pastries.
Vijzelgracht 20, Amsterdam – boulangerienoe.com

The Bakhuys

Anyone who travels through Weesperplein or studies nearby will undoubtedly know Het Bakhuys. This pleasant, spacious establishment is the go-to spot for many people for a cup of coffee, a currant bun, or a hearty sandwich. Enjoy your breakfast there or grab something to take home.
Sarphatistraat 61, Amsterdam – bakhuys-amsterdam.nl

Bakery Straathof

At the Ten Katemarkt you'll find Bakkerij Straathof, with the best bread in the market and the surrounding area. In winter, it's also the place to be for the best oliebollen.
Ten Katestraat 21, Amsterdam – bakerystraathof.nl 

Baking Lab

Baking Lab isn't just a bakery; it's a place where food waste is combated and the art of bread baking is shared. Thanks to their proprietary method using recycled bread, their bread has a longer shelf life. How convenient!
Linnaeusstraat 99, Amsterdam – bakinglab.nl

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 11. They bake with passion here, and you can definitely taste it. The to-go hatch next to the main entrance is very convenient, saving you time in line.
MS van Riemsdijkweg 2, Amsterdam – cometbread.nl 

Bakery Louf

Louf is located next to Binnenvisser, and that's no coincidence. The owners took the building next door and turned it into an equally beautiful place. Their head baker learned to bake at Bakkerij Ex, so that's a perfect fit. Take-away is possible, but it's almost a shame considering the beautiful interior.
Bilderdijkstraat 38-40, Amsterdam – bakkerijlouf.nl 

The Flemish Bread House

Well, the Vlaamsch Broodhuys, what more can we say? Simply always good, especially the Christophe Pavé. Sink your teeth into the bread, smell the sourdough, and imagine yourself in a French wheatfield.
Various locations, Amsterdam – vlaamschbroodhuys.nl

Niemeijer brothers

Another French gem on this list. Gebroeders Niemeijer is an institution in the city, baking bread for many restaurants. The fougasse is just like in La Douce France, as are the baguettes, cannelés, croissants, and practically everything else they sell. Here too, you can enjoy it there or take some home. Or simply do both.
Nieuwendijk 35, Amsterdam – gebroedersniemeijer.nl

Paul Année

Whole wheat bread grown without artificial fibers and chemicals, you can get it from Paul Année around the corner The HallsThe bread is sold in their own bakery, but also at numerous restaurants, cafes, health food stores and hotels.
Bellamystraat 8, Amsterdam – bakerypaulannee.nl

Dolzon

Dolzon is the place to be for truly good bread in Amsterdam Noord. Afterward, you can pop over to Kef, your neighbor, for some delicious cheeses. This part of Amsterdam Noord just keeps getting better and better! Why not grab a glass of wine at Chateau Karlito?
Van der Pekplein 15A, Amsterdam – Facebook page

Grams

The owner has French roots and therefore certainly respects traditions. You can order in advance, so you're guaranteed your choice. Everything here takes a lot of time and effort, so sometimes it's gone before it's gone.
Maasstraat 16, Amsterdam – grammes.nl

Bakery Mater

For artisanal sourdough bread, Bakkerij Mater in the Pijp district is the place to be. Besides enormous loaves with an excellent flavor and crispy crust, you can also order delicacies like focaccias, croissants, and cookies. You'd easily cycle right past it if you didn't know this new bakery in Amsterdam opened right next to a busy bike path. So next time, stop off and take that delicious treat home!
Ceintuurbaan 320, Amsterdam – bakkerijmater.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.
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!
Sumatrastraat 42 and Kadijksplein 6, Amsterdam – debakkersvanoost.nl

Bakers' sons

A bakery run by the sons of two bakers. That sounds like a nice story, but it's actually true at the bakery De Bakkerszonen in Amsterdam OostHere, Johan Hartog and Martijn Meijer are at the helm, continuing their parents' trade.
Mosveld 113, Beukenplein 8 and Roetersstraat 21, Amsterdam – mossveld.debakkerszonen.nl

Bread

Bbrood bakes with a mission: they love making the planet a little better. Sustainability is paramount, as is nutritious and healthy bread. That's why they source as locally as possible and aim to transition to a zero-waste approach in the coming years. Their cornbread is especially recommended!
Various locations, Amsterdam – bbrood.nl

Rise Bakery

Last but not least! Rise is located on the Albert Cuyp Market, making it the perfect place to combine with a day at the market. Tucked away behind the various market stalls at the Albert Cuyp Market, the Rise Bakery is reminiscent of a Parisian coffee shop. Here you can find all your bread and pastry needs.
