Last updated: June 21, 2025

Looking for a great concept store with an international vibe in De Pijp? Then definitely put Cottoncake on your list. This stylish boutique on Eerste van der Helststraat in Amsterdam Zuid has long been a household name among fashionistas who appreciate timeless pieces, Scandinavian design, and a minimalist atmosphere.

Concept store without catering, with even more focus on fashion

Those who have known Cottoncake for a while may remember the charming café on the mezzanine where you could enjoy coffee between shopping trips. The store has since undergone a transformation, and the focus is now entirely on fashion and lifestyle. No more cappuccinos, but plenty of space for beautiful brands, handmade jewelry, and carefully selected accessories.

For those who love minimalist fashion with character

What makes Cottoncake so special is the attention to detail with which the collections are put together. Think a mix of Scandinavian labels, local designers, and international niche brands. Whether you're looking for a new wardrobe for the season or a unique piece of jewelry as a finishing touch, you're guaranteed to find what you're looking for at Cottoncake.

The style is clean, feminine, and effortless. Think soft hues, natural materials, and pieces you'll enjoy wearing for years to come. For those who shop consciously and invest in quality, this is the place to be.

A hidden gem in Amsterdam South

Cottoncake is located in the heart of De Pijp, on a side street of the Albert Cuyp Market. The First van der Helststraat is definitely a street to remember, because you will find more nice places where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the market.

This concept store is perfect for combining with a morning stroll through the market or a coffee break at one of the many charming cafés nearby. Bonus: the store's white, minimalist interior is also Instagram-worthy without feeling forced.
