Bakkerij Kaandorp in Noordelijke IJ-oevers West

It's a shame this bakery went bankrupt because it was the best. "Bread factory" was a forbidden word there, but in reality, it was. I was fortunate enough to work there for 10 years as a weekend driver and substitute driver, much to their and my satisfaction. It also helped me build my nest egg for 10 years, which came in very handy a few years later when the banking crisis hit in 2008 and my business practically ground to a halt. The bankruptcy of Bartels Bakery is deeply saddening to me.

I saw your delivery driver smoking inside the van and throw the cigarette out from the window when done. This is unhygienic for your deliveries and very disrespectful of the neighborhoods you deliver to.

A lovely café with sweet pastries, hot and cold drinks, and ice cream. Friendly staff. Prices are on the higher end. The men's and women's restrooms were not very clean; the latter could be improved.

I went here late on a Sunday evening few minutes before the store was about to close and bought an aardbei (strawberry) cake. And i must admit that was the best cake I have had in Amsterdam. It was fresh, soft and delicious. It was a pure coincidence that i found this store, but now they have become one of my favourites.

We are very happy with the sandwiches from this place!
