Bakers & Roasters in Oude Pijp

Since we were short on time, we tried their cakes, and they were amazing. The carrot cake has an exceptional sauce, and the coconut pound cake is also out of this world. The drip coffee is excellent.

Good food (but expensive!!), very crowded (a table for 2 people for 3). Friendly welcome.

This is one of those places that gets ruined by its staff. The young woman at the reception desk told us the list was full and that we would have to wait 30–40 minutes—a wait we agreed to, so we stood outside. Another customer arrived shortly after and was told the same thing, while others simply left rather than wait. A while later, the staff member came out—having completely forgotten that we were waiting—and told us they were full. When I reminded her about the 30–40 minute wait she had mentioned, she claimed she had never said any such thing. We ended up having breakfast outside. I went back to ask if she could move us inside if a table became available, explaining that we had a child with us; she insisted they were full and that it wasn't possible. Yet, shortly after, she let in a group of three who had arrived after us. We watched as she told one couple there was no space, only to seat the next group—she was clearly picking and choosing based on her own whims while claiming they were "full." I even complained to a staff member outside about the situation; meanwhile, other customers in the same predicament were being seated inside. The man who served us noticed the poor management and made a kind gesture toward us—which we truly appreciated—but the service provided by the hostess was appalling. I hope the manager reads this to understand what is going on; as someone who also works in the hospitality industry, I certainly wouldn't want someone like that on my team.

Tasty food with generous portions

Great wee place for brunch or cake n coffee, nice set up where you put your name into an app and they give you a seat when yr turn comes up. Staff really nice and friendly, even supplied blankets as we sat outside. Fast service and food really good

One of the best brunch spots in the city. Can’t go wrong with the B&R special

Great service. The place was full and you must sign up on a waitlist but it goes as quick as my meal to come to my table.

Food flavor is mehh, from regular to bad. We ordered B&R special and the toast was too hard to eat and the pancakes were horrible. Service is good and the coffee and juices were nice as well. Too pricey!!!!

This was the best breakfast I have had in as long as I can remember. All the flavours were fantastic, and paired great together everything tasted so fresh and real. We both got the pulled pork breakfast (added side of bacon/sausage and potatoes). It was definitely pricey but delicious.

Really kind staff & great food 👍🏼

So happy to have came across Bakers & Roasters during our visit to Amsterdam. Food and service was so good that we returned for breakfast 3 times! Couldn’t go past the B&R special every time, I wish more cafes served a dish like this - a simple but delicious balance of sweet and savoury! If we ever return to Amsterdam we’ll be sure to come back, until then we’ll keep dreaming of this breaky 🌟

Amazing food and amazing service

What a fantastic place! Breakfast was outstanding! The potatoes and mushrooms were superb. They offer free water at breakfast, and the banana milkshake was incredibly delicious. The service was extremely friendly and lovely! We love it and would come here every day.

A place where they cannot explain to people on a queue that their wait is useless because we are not in a system that is not working. Save your money, there are much better places in Amsterdam than this crappy mgmt one.

Food was mid. My meal was hard to eat: Bread crust was to hard, bacon was very chewy.

Great brunch spot! Tasty breakfast options, it was super busy but the staff were on top on things and fast service. Pancakes, yum!

Hi!! It's a gem recommended by ChatGPT haha. We ordered a special R&B cocktail (which was good) and huevos rancheros, which were delicious. I recommend ordering them if you have the chance to come ☝🏼

Incredible food, I had the pancakes and they were soooo good. They have freshly squeezed orange juice and it’s incredible

Great food. You have to reserve a spot before go there via website otherwise you have to put in a line and wait really long time.

We went for a late breakfast and were very pleased. Everything we ate was delicious, we were very satisfied. The staff's friendliness and everything else makes the customer happy. The cleanliness and order of the place are very good. The toilets are spotless.

Great food. Surprisingly quick for how busy they were, highly recommend.

I went here for brunch with friends a few weeks ago. The food is nice, but the service feels very rushed. The waiter brought our bill less than 5 minutes after we finished eating, without asking if we wanted anything else. We had been eating for less than 30 minutes total a bit too rushed!

Love this place! Food and coffee always very good! Our server, from Australia, very kind! Bless him :)

Tasty food, large portions, fresh and nice vibe

Super cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and fast service. We enjoyed it immensely and would love to come again.

This is a fantastic brunch spot in the city. The staff were amazing and were able to accommodate our group of 6. There was a great selection of foods available. I thoroughly enjoyed the cannellini beans on rye. Decent value for the high quality. Highly recommend this spot.

Food is decent. Matcha latte is surprisingly good. Gets pretty crowded but service is efficient.

What a lovely all-day brunch spot! Delicious food, good coffee, and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The menu offers a wide selection, and everything served was fresh and well-prepared. The service is also friendly and attentive. It is truly the kind of place where you easily want to linger a bit longer. Absolutely recommended for breakfast, brunch, or lunch in De Pijp.

the best brunch in town! big portions and great quality! i would 100% recommend 🌱

Food was amazing, great service, super nice to seat outside and enjoy and good cup of coffee

A perfect brunch! Delicious food, great coffee, and such a cozy atmosphere. Definitely a lovely spot for a relaxed morning. ✨

I had brunch here which was good.

Amazing place ! The food was to die for, and the waiters were really nice. Special mention to Nick, who was absolutely lovely

It usually has a wait out the door and feels like a popular spot but I feel like its a bit overrated. Nice long menu and the food is decent but we didn’t feel the need to come back on our month long stay.

The best brunch I've ever had, everything was perfect. The price is justified! A huge thank you in particular to Nick for his kindness and professionalism 🙏

We loved this place!! The food, coffee and staff were all amazing🤩 The perfect brunch spot - we’ll definitely come back!😊

Great service. Good portions of food in the plate. Coffee is okay.

Wow, what a fantastic café! We arrived at Bakers & Roasters without a booking and, even though it was really busy, they managed to find us a table — and we’re so glad they did! The food was absolutely amazing. The portions were generous, everything was beautifully presented, and the combinations of flavours were just fabulous. I had the Raspberry & Lychee Bircher Muesli, and I would highly recommend it — fresh, healthy, full of flavour and totally delicious! The coffees were also amazing, but a special mention has to go to our lovely Kiwi server. She was so friendly, happy and welcoming, and provided fantastic service. She really added to the whole experience. The café itself has a fabulous atmosphere and is situated on a gorgeous tree-lined street, making it such a lovely place to sit, relax and enjoy a great meal. We absolutely loved this place. If you’re looking for somewhere with delicious, healthy food, generous portions, great coffee and a wonderful atmosphere, Bakers & Roasters is definitely the place to go! ☕️🥝🌿💕

One of our favorite spots for an extensive brunch in Amsterdam. The combination of New Zealand and Brazilian influences makes the menu just a little different from other brunch spots. Cozy atmosphere, good coffee, and above all, lots of delicious options.

Food is AMZAING !!! Try the Veggie Breaky

Very relaxed atmosphere, nice food great brunch place

A great breakfast option in Amsterdam. - Small place, but the service was quick and the staff were friendly. - The egg royal was delicious and the scrambled eggs were great. - The coffee was good as well. I recommend this restaurant.

It reminds me of great breakfasts or lunches from long ago in America. Good eggs benedict, American pancakes, and fine coffee.

Very lovely brunch place that has good gluten free options. Also, it seemed very busy, but we were served very quickly.

Best breakfast in town! Dont miss it, worth the wait (during rush hour) super nice waiters (no euro-tuide) and amazing food. I would recommend the Eggs ben and pancakes!

The food and service is good. Minor feedback: sound isolation and lights could be better. I didn’t like the spot light in my face during breakfast.

A little bit too crowded inside, good coffee, nice stuff. Food was good, nothing outstanding

I normally NEVER leave reviews because I’m extremely fussy, but this place honestly deserves one! 🤩🔥 The food was absolutely incredible — every single dish was bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. We enjoyed it so much that we literally licked our plates clean! 😂👏 And the service from Shasha was absolutely outstanding! 🌟 Always smiling, friendly, welcoming and attentive. That level of service makes such a difference and really completed the whole experience. Honestly, one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time! 👌🔥 10/10 from us — highly, highly recommended to everyone! We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️🍽️

We went early so we didn't have to wait. The breakfast was good.

Been coming here for years, great brunch spot. Portion sizes appear to have been slightly reduced but that just means you can actually finish a meal now, used to be very generous and large.

It's a very cute bakery with limited indoor seating and just a few tables outside. They offer a great selection of baked goods, and the croissant burger is a must-try if you love croissants!

Had a beautiful breakfast here with my wife. We both enjoyed our drinks, meal and the staff were lovely. Would happily return and recommend to others

Lovely staff and atmosphere and really thoughtful to our little dog! Definitely recommend!

Amazing place with amazing food. We even visited two days in a row! The only thing that bothered me was the knives. You really need steak knives for your delicious (but quite hard) bread! I’ve already seen similar comments about the same issue from a few months ago. It’s a shame that this still hasn’t been changed yet. Otherwise a perfect visit with quick and friendly service. Will definitely come back when I visit Amsterdam next.

This was my second time here. Food was great, service was excellent and vibes were fantastic. 10/10 recommend.

They are keep you waiting for hours. Manager was cutting the line for her friends. Total circus!! Dont go there!

Bakers & Roasters is a place I'll definitely remember from my time in Amsterdam. However, I must point out that the biggest downside to our visit was the incredibly long wait for a table. We waited a really long time, and at times I wondered if it was worth it. Fortunately, when the food finally arrived, the wait was largely worth it. Everything was truly delicious, fresh, and very well prepared. The taste definitely met my expectations, which is why, despite the long wait, I'm giving it 5 stars. The gluten-free menu was a huge plus for me. Restaurants and breakfast places don't always offer this option, so I was pleasantly surprised here. The selection was good, and I didn't feel like I had to miss out on something interesting just because I needed a gluten-free option. The atmosphere was also pleasant, and the food itself looked very appetizing. I think if you have a little extra time and don't mind waiting, it's definitely worth trying.

A slice of ‘down under’ hospitality in Amsterdam! Had the eggs Royale and French banana toast. Both extremely tasty that we will be coming back tomorrow. The coffee and chai were also exceptional. Thank you!

I had breakfast with my friend here yesterday and it was gorgeous. Staff are lovely. Outside seating was a plus!

A true De Pijp staple in Amsterdam, Bakers & Roasters never disappoints for breakfast. The Huevos Rancheros and vege brekkie e hoa are absolute must-tries… packed with incredible flavor. It’s always buzzing with locals and tourists, so skip standing in line and make sure to join their online waitlist before arriving.

Favorite brunch spot in Amsterdam! Servers are friendly, food is fast and delicious, and the batch brew is sooo flavorful. Can't go wrong with the BR Special with Scrambled Eggs, and the Huevos Rancheros are divine. Easy rec!

Absolutely delicious!!! 5/5 Macchiato was delicious, French toast was fluffy and tasted fabulous, and the bacon had a wonderful taste to it. Service was great and staff were friendly (had to move inside as a few bees decided my breakfast was too good to pass up). Would absolutely come back again!

I always stop by here for breakfast whenever I’m in Amsterdam. This time, we came both mornings. The B&R Special is my favorite! We went early and didn’t have to wait. The ladies working there were so sweet, friendly, and helpful. Always a great experience.

Cramped, loud and noisy, servers appeared to think they were doing us a favor in taking an order. We had visited years ago and it was loud and cramped then but they seem to have added more seats. As a yearly visitor, this will be the last visit to Bakers & Roasters.

Lovely breakfast/brunch spot. It was busy at 10:30am when I visited but I managed to get seated no problem. Great friendly atmosphere with good vibes, the cake looked amazing but I couldn't manage any after my breakfast, which was the perfect portion, tasty and filling. The coffee was decent too. Varied menu with lots of options and able to customise

Amazing brunch/breakfast menu, highly recommend loved it!

This is my 6th day in Amsterdam. Tried 6 different breakfast and brunch places and I can tell you that this place has nothing special. I order B&R special. Egg was tasteless. You need to wait in a queu to get in. Inside is very cramped, crowded and noisy. There is a place called Locals right in front of this place. Better food. Better ambiance. Overall better for having a calm and tasty breakfast. No wait in queu needed aswell.

Great breakfast with all the yummy’s! Lots of options to choose from. If you are a home sick Kiwi a must!!

The food was great. But the place was very noisy, was not very comfortable to talk. Also needed to wait in line until seated for 15 minutes.

Very disappointing breakfast experience at Bakers & Roasters. When ordering, we asked for the eggs to be cooked medium, but the waitress told us the only options were either “runny” or “hard.” Since we didn’t want the eggs to be undercooked, we went with hard. Unfortunately, the eggs arrived extremely overcooked and dry, and the bread was also very dry. The main breakfast dishes were honestly not enjoyable at all. I would have expected a breakfast place to be able to offer something between runny and completely overcooked eggs. I’m giving 2 stars: one for the coffee, which was good, and one for the pancakes, which we enjoyed. Other than that, the breakfast was very disappointing.

Best breakfast around. Obvious why it's always busy. Awesome staff.

Super quick service even with a full restaurant. Food was quite tasty and the coffee was great!

Pretty much your ideal brunch place where everything’s made fresh, nice and ‘vibey’. Very fluffy pancakes!

Bakers & Roasters is easily one of the premier brunch spots in Amsterdam—vibrant, warm, and firing on all cylinders from the kitchen to the floor. - ​Outstanding Food & Coffee: Every dish is vibrant, generous, and packed with bold flavor. The Kiwi-meets-Brazilian flair brings a creative, elevated twist to brunch classics, paired with exceptional specialty coffee that sets the bar high. - ​Warm, Attentive Staff: Despite how notoriously bustling the café is, the waitstaff operates with infectious energy, seamless efficiency, and genuine hospitality. You never feel rushed, yet service remains remarkably prompt. - ​Smart Online Queue: The popularity is undeniable, but their online waitlist system makes managing the rush effortless. Joining the digital queue in advance shaves off considerable waiting time, making the inevitable line smooth and well worth every single minute. ​A true culinary gem that delivers on its stellar reputation—an absolute must-visit when in Amsterdam.

Great abd delicious breakfasts and brunch

Everything was wonderful! I would especially like to thank ( Lippy ) , I hope I got her name right. She was incredibly friendly, cheerful, and welcoming to everyone, and always had a smile on her face. The place itself is beautiful, but her wonderful energy made the experience even more special. Everything was truly excellent, from the food to the service and the entire staff. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place!

Lovely team with great service!

Very nice place for breakfast or brunch. Cool music and people! Very good food! Enjoy 😁

Went with my mom for a girl’s brunch and it didn’t dissapoint. Cozy, food was great - I even congratulated the chefs before leaving-, the coffee is delicious. We tried the B&R and was delicious. Pancakes are great and bowl of fruit super fresh. Only downside is we wanted to sit outside but the wasps were unbearable.

Great spot that we ended up visiting twice during our stay. The banana milkshake was a highlight, honestly one of the best I’ve had, really tasty. The food overall was excellent, especially the chicken and waffle special. The staff were attentive and accommodating, particularly when it came to dietary needs, which we really appreciated. Service was also very fast. It was nice to be able to see into the kitchen and watch the chefs at work and the plating of the dishes, it added to the experience. We went both times right after opening in the morning and didn’t have to wait, which was a big plus. Overall, a really enjoyable breakfast/brunch spot that I’d definitely recommend.

Stopped for a late breakfast on the way to Museumplein and had no wait for two before noon on a Thursday morning. We split the Navajo Eggs and Banana Nut Bread French Toast. I'm not usually ready for something that savory before lunch, but it was worth it. Incredible flavors, attentive service, cute decor. One of the best meals on our trip!

Classic breakfast. Nothing special. Food was a bit cold when it reached the table.

Best breakfast when in Amsterdam. Lovely people working there and great location.

Stumbled upon this place after the Vangogh museum. Excellent breakfast food, great service and the atmosphere was 90s r&b music playing in the background.

Amazing atmosphere, food was absolutely delightful

This place seemed to be the most popular on this brunch street. I went early so there were plenty of seats available, but it filled up while I was eating. The ingredients were all fresh, the staff were friendly, and the coffee latte art was pretty. (The coffee in Amsterdam isn't usually that great, but this seemed to be the best.) Above all, the pancakes were delicious. The bill came out to 70,000 won for the two of us... It makes me tear up because of the unavoidable high prices in Amsterdam, but It was a very satisfying meal. Highly recommended!!

Food was delicious!!! Staff were friendly and very attentive and the pulled pork eggs with toast was outstanding. Will be thinking of this place when I’m hungry!

Relaxing place. Had a lovely breakfast on the terrace. Extensive menu with various savory and sweet dishes. Service and food were fast!

Our order was for two people: a banana cake and pancakes, which were very nice. We also had a dish of eggs with halloumi, potatoes, and mushrooms, which was also delicious. The juice was good, but very sour. Their coffee, the cortado, was also good. Overall, it's definitely worth trying. The waitress, Nazaret, was very helpful. Our bill came to €54.

The bill came out different than what was on the menu, and it's not hygienic!

Amazing breakfast at Bakers & Roasters! The food was an easy 10/10—absolutely delicious and full of flavour. The staff were incredibly friendly, genuine, and made us feel so welcome. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. Can’t wait to come back!

Lovely feed - food was great - coffee was great too.

What fun here! If you missed thick American pancakes with maple syrup (for the benefit of those who are less connected to Dutch pancakes) - you've come to the right place The coffee is also excellent We ordered Eggs Royal Eggs Florentine A seasonal fruit bowl 5 pancakes with maple and banana on the side And scrambled eggs on the side It was excellent in every way The kids devoured everything and praised the Hollandaise sauce Great service And a great atmosphere Come on!

Food and coffee were delish!!! Service was fantastic and attentive even with how busy it was on a Wednesday AM! Sasha was lovely and ran the hostess stand like a sergeant (a really really sweet one)!

A fantastic place to enjoy breakfast and specialty coffee. Thanks Sacha for hospitality 👍

Breakfast was decent, but unfortunately far too expensive for what you get. Portions were rather small.

Hidden gem also for someone with a gluten free diet

Our experience was awesome. We didn’t expect anything special, but the food and service were really good and the size of portion was huge.

The portions are pricy, but big and delicious. Loved it!

Edited: used to be a good experience Now the staff who showed me our table had some sort of attitude. When i ordered a batch brew coffee, it was half full. When i asked, they told me it's served that way. Don't know if this is a regular experience or just a bad coincidence. Probably, they will be an optional choice for me next time rather than my first pick. Food still tastes good, especially the brisket sandwich Initial review: A very pleasant experience.. This is the power breakfast and thr pancakes.. Very tasty stuff 👍👍 The coffee is a little bit acidic but it's good for a change
