Bakkerij Kaandorp in Noordelijke IJ-oevers West

I was at the door this morning at 7:25, but the bakery didn't open until after 8:00. If the opening hours are incorrect, please update them on your Google page.

I found this bakery through ToGoodToGo. And I've been coming here regularly ever since for cheese, bread, and other goodies. The people are passionate about their business and always up for a friendly chat.

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.

This is my second time here, and every time I've been made to feel uncomfortable. They don't seem to like the fact that I don't speak Dutch yet, so they won't look me in the eye or answer my questions. They just hand me a dirty bag full of holes. It was the same as last time. I've just moved to the Netherlands and am struggling to like my new life here, so I hope that people who behave like these women aren't the majority. It's a shame that such a discriminatory store has such good reviews.

Lovely restaurant with sweet pastries, hot and cold drinks, and ice cream. Friendly staff. Prices on the high side. The men's and women's restrooms weren't very well maintained. The latter could be better.
