De Bakkerswinkel

Día nuevo, desayuno nuevo; empiezo a darme cuenta de que los buenos sitios para desayunar en esta ciudad están todos cortados por el mismo patrón: son panaderías con mesas en las que te sirven sus productos, no cafeterías per se.
En esta elegí el Baker’s Breakfast, que es el más grande (así somos yo y mis empachos): café al gusto, zumo de naranja (de bote y un poco escaso de sabor), croissant del bueno, jamón ahumado a cascoporro, queso en abundancia, y 4 panes distintos con mucha mantequilla y tres mermeladas diferentes. Quisiera destacar el pan de centeno y pasas, que básicamente son muchísimas pasas unidas por harina integral de centeno: energía para todo el día.
Si eres un pusilánime, puedes elegir el Small Breakfast (o alguno del abanico intermedio de grises): café, zumo, croissant y un pan con mantequilla y las mermeladas.
También vimos que tienen huevos revueltos con bacon y diferentes quichés, pero me parecía demasiado y sólo tengo un estómago y 6 metros de intestino.

We had 2 breakfasts here while in Amsterdam. It is almost always crowded, so get here early or be prepared to wait. We ordered some typical «American» breakfast: fried eggs and toast, but the real reason they get 5 stars is because of their amazing scones and jam. I ordered a scone each time we came and it came with clotted cream and 3 types of jam. My favorite was the lemon with basil and thyme; in fact, I’m kicking myself that I did not buy some while I was there! Great tea selection, too.

Visited De Bakkerswinkel on the recommendation of a friend. It was a really adorable space with super friendly staff. The menu is very typical dutch and we enjoyed all our dishes — celery root soup, fried eggs with bacon, cheese and ham tosti. Special mention for the brown bread and their fantastic chocolate cake. As a mom visiting with two kids, I especially appreciated the selection of kids books available for them to look at and the special attention from our waiter.

This is the perfect place for coffee, tea and cake. The caramel-​walnut cake is heavy duty (and mouth-​watering) but there are lighter options: The cheesecake is delicious and they serve fresh scones with cream and homemade jam. The scones are great and there are scones of the day: I was lucky to get one with caramelised white chocolate. Everything is fresh, homemade and tasty. They offer several variants of high tea with sumptuous cake selections, scones and/​or sandwiches. The place is usually packed, so you have to be lucky! We never saw many tourists in the Bakkerswinkel and sometimes that’s a plus as well.

Had the Baker’s Breakfast and a savory scone. Baker’s breakfast come with some nice ham and cheese — and breads, jam, and fruit curd — yum.
Oh what great place for breakfast.

Had the lovely idea to have an afternoon high tea at de bakkerswinkel, read up on their site about the history of high tea, served from 15:00 to 17:00 traditionally. Strange then, that when we popped in we were told the kitchen closed and we were not able to have the high tea. Why stay open til 17:30 but close the kitchen at 16:00? Why not mention this important note on your site? What a shame, took my business elsewhere. Try Greenwoods if you’re looking for high tea at a place that actually wants your business.

A real British afternoon tea is one of my favorite things to do during my visits in the UK. In Amsterdam we have a few spots of the Bakkeryshop, but the one at the Zeedijk is my favorite because of the atmosphere and the radiation.
Their breakfasts and lunches are utterly delicious. You can create your own sourdough sandwich with a choice of spreads on the bottom and a variety of choices for toppings. The soups and quiches are homemade and fresh every day.
But then there is their afternoon tea with delicious scones, pies and cakes! Isn’t that a splendid idea to surprise your love with on Valentine’s Day? Do not forget to make a reservation in time!

Their savory scone was surprisingly tasty, especially paired with the cream cheese. Reasonable prices and good food. I read somewhere that they have the best cheesecake, but sadly it wasn’t that tasty.
Go for the scones and sandwiches, not for the dessert.

Amazing and enormous eggs/​bacon/​cheese plate. Great fresh juices and coffee. Dog friendly.

Wir waren Mittwoch im De Bakkerswinkel frühstücken Einfach nur gut!
Das Frühstück ist bis 12 Uhr verfügbar, also auch noch nach einer schweren Nacht möglich. Wir hatten das Bäckerfrühstück und ein gemischtes Frühstück mit 3 Brötchen, was mehr als genug war.
Der Aufschnitt wurde uns am Tisch nochmal einzeln erklärt, alles frisch aufgeschnittener Käse und Fleisch. Dazu gabs ein Kürbis-​Senf-​Chutney und einen Ricotta-​Kräuter-​Frischkäse, ein wahres Gedicht! Das Brot und die Brötchen waren frisch gebacken und sehr abwechslungsreich.
Ich hätte 4 Sterne auf Grund des doch etwas gehobenen Preises gegeben, wenn nicht die exorbitanten selbstgemachten Marmeladen gewesen wären
Fast schon ein Pflichtbesuch!

Stopped in here for a quick breakfast when we missed the cut off time for breakfast at our hotel (damn you, jetlag!). Service was pretty slow, even by Dutch standards, but the food and drinks pretty good. Like David H. mentioned, the location looks a little industrial, but not to the point of being unappealing by any means. If I were to stop in again, I’d probably just grab something for on the go instead of a sit down meal.

Temporary location while the Bakkerswinkel in Warmoesstraat is being refurbished. Because they will only be here for a short while, the place looks a little industrial. I thought that was cool. Lots of sitting space.
