Bakkerij Kwakman Leidsestraat in De Weteringschans

Most lovely staff in the world, never had had matcha this good before 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜

30 euros for 3 paninis and 2 cans of soda is outrageous! My husband paid, and I was even looking after the bikes. Very distrustful, avoid at all costs!

The wait is long, the stroopwafel costs €8 and is very dry.

We bought four cinnamon rolls and a matcha tea for €28.65. The matcha tea was rather average, and the pastries were basic, nothing more, nothing less. The price of the pastries wasn't displayed, which might give the impression that prices are based on the customer, or rather, the tourist.

Very expensive waffle but nice atmosphere in the bakery

Great music, staff were really nice and helpful

I came here every day for a week and have no regrets. So personable and easy

Never expect that only bought one hot dog would made me felt down all day This was my first trip to Europe and to Amsterdam. I saw many shops like this, and maybe it was just bad luck or maybe I stepped in with the wrong foot. I really wanted to try a sausage, and I saw that many shops had them. I walked into this shop, and my boyfriend asked for the price. I entered while a female staff member was serving. I asked for the prices of two items: the sausage and another bakery item that was cheaper. I understood that she told us both prices at the same time. While she was heating the sausage, a man walked in. My boyfriend greeted him politely. When we were about to pay by credit card, my boyfriend asked again to confirm the price (which we thought was the lower bakery price). But since both prices had been mentioned together, I got confused and forgot. The male staff member responded in an irritated manner, saying that she had already told us the price (the higher one). The issue wasn’t the price. With a credit card machine, the staff has to enter the correct price anyway. We just couldn’t remember or were confused. We were trying to ask to make sure we paid the correct amount. There was no need to be aggressive. I understand this is a bakery, not a boxing ring. I wasn’t expecting to encounter an opponent. This was also the first shop I entered that day. We have never tried to bargain or avoid paying. We are working people too, and I’m confident I can provide better service than this person. I don’t know the status of this man, but I do know that the sausage I bought tasted bad because I bought it from someone who seems to hate his job and his life. Just walking into this bakery made my whole day in Amsterdam feel very low. I didn’t want to see people who looked like him because I thought they might have the same attitude. But now, I forgive him, even though I still feel that an apology is owed. If the words you’re going to say are not kind, you can let someone else speak instead. Respecting others is also respecting yourself, and I did not see that in the male staff member.

10 euros for a waffle , no prices anywhere, please go here if you enjoy paying too much for a not good waffle!

Very stale and very expensive. Go to a grocery store instead

Tasty butter croisant! 2 euro!, when other shops sells it at 3+ euro. I tried 5-8 different shop's croissants, they were all the same, - why to pay more? - Great shop with great value for money!

Not so good. Tastes like defrosted..

Tourist trap in my opinion. No prices showed anywhere. Had a Pistachio roll for 6.50€ wich is overpriced to me for that quality. When i ordered the roll the girl put it in a microwave before serving it to me, wich you shouldn't have to do if it's fresh. Also she didn't ask me if i wanted i heated or not. The bun was pretty dry and what looked like Pistachio cream on top was actualy green died icing.

cinnamon roll (reheated, so with melted icing) 6 euro stroopwafels 7 euro (walk 50 meters down Leidsestraat for same tourist trap decorated stroopwafel. But there they will be freshly prepared.

We stopped by here to try a stroopwafel and some coffee and it was incredible! Also, Andrea and Eduardo were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

Really great spicy chicken and amazing Italian espresso and a lot of tasteful cinnamon roll choices!

The barista Andrea was super kind and warm-hearted, he made an excellent coffee

Read the reviews, sort low to highest. The croissants weren't fresh and coffee lattes were weak at best. No place to sit or enjoy it's like a grab and go. I'd suggest go elsewhere.

The prices are a bit high, but that's just how Amsterdam is, unfortunately. However, the price is justified because the food is high quality and the service is excellent.

A very good stroopwafel, but at €11 a bit overpriced in my opinion. The opening hours from 7am are very good.

Delicious bakery offering a variety of fresh, sweet and salty baked goods and coffee. The service is quick, and the store is in a great location.

We stopped here and ordered some mini dutch pancakes. They were very tasty!! All the food in there looked yummy! Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Thank you for the wonderful service from early in the morning

I came for vacations with my family and spotted this amazing place that serves you the BEST Waffles and AMAZING COFFEE. You can feel The warmth and love trough the amazing service and experience . 10/10

The best waffles in Amsterdam, hot and fresh, very good service.

Ilaria and Flavia are the most empathetic and professional sales assistants I've ever met. It's a pleasure dealing with them.

I was here last week with some friends and we had breakfast there every week, enjoying amazing croissants. I'll definitely be back. Thanks, girls!

I ate divinely thanks also to the welcome I received from the staff, especially from the super friendly Ilaria.

Highly recommended. Professional and friendly staff. Ilaria and Flavia toppppp

We went four days in a row for breakfast and coffee. The coffee and croissants were very good. The staff were great too.

Stroopwafel was good but totally overpriced (€10) and no price displayed. Feels like a scam.

Amazing experience in Amsterdam! I tried the best stroopwafel I've ever had: crispy on the outside and with a perfect caramel filling. Plus, the staff were super friendly and, to my surprise, they spoke Spanish, which made everything even easier and more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

No prices showed anywhere.regular Stroopwaffles for 7€ wich is overpriced for that quality and was not fresh . Staff was rude and When I talked to her, she had her back turned to me while answering. Also, my hot chocolate wasn’t hot at all and when I told her, she just said, “That’s how it is!”

Got a sandwich and coffee to go. Unfortunately, the (hot) sandwich with chicken, cheese, and pesto (for €7.50!) was disappointing and hadn't been heated properly.

Not very good. I ordered a roll and a chocolate stick — the chocolate one was really good, but the roll was dry from the microwave and not tasty at all. Better to walk half a block more and get one from Cinnamon Mood instead.

Delicious pastries, friendly staff!

Had a sandwich and a strawberry cinnamon bun. The sandwich was amazing, ate it up so quick, I dont have a pic. The cinnamon bun was also delicious. I asked the staff it was fresh, they confirmed and said: “I will even give you a bigger piece”. Super cute place.

We paid 10 euros for a stale waffle, it didn't taste good

Unfortunately, there was no allergen list for those with allergies. That's not up-to-date. The waitress took our comment personally. Unfortunately, it wasn't a pleasant experience there.

Prices not displayed and exorbitant

They have a really good matcha but l am not happy with the staff attitude specially the girls so l won’t back again.

We wanted to try famous dutch waffel, it was not fresh but taste rich with chocolate, we didn't ask the prices, they said for 2 Waffel and Matcha cost 28 euro. SO expensive!!!!!!!!!!! In the next day I bought it from an other places was 3 euros,was better

€8 for a strop wafer without honey, no price displayed, tourist trap, to be avoided

No pricing for the stroopwaffles and other basic products to be seen. We had to ask for it. 7€ for a plain stroopwaffle is over the top.

Delicious apple cake, friendly quick service, what's not to like! Recommended when you need a quick cake stop in Amsterdam...

Kind employees with delicious pastries and baked goods, try the pan au chocolate.

Was our looking for a coffee and some fresh baked goods at 8am on our first full day in Amsterdam but it seems nothing is open early on a weekday. Then I found this great little bakery and ordered a selection of items to take away, and a coffee. Everything was excellent!

Love it !!! Enjoying it so much 🤤

Prices are not listed, which is sketchy in itself, and when I received the bill, I realized it was a definite tourist trap. The cashier forgot part of our order, so we had to wait longer for the last dish. For two warmed-up sandwiches and mini pancakes with light toppings, it was 25 euro total. The owner gave extra toppings for the wait, which was nice, and offered a free dish during our next visit, but... If nothing is made on the spot, fresh in front of you, these prices are WAY too much for premade food that's just warmed up, even if the staff are friendly.

Lovely bakery right in the center of Amsterdam! Freshly baked pastries, delicious coffee, and very friendly service. Highly recommend if you're around Leidseplein!

Fresh strawberries and very nice, courteous, friendly service! :)🍓

It’s hard to find a real Italian breakfast in Amsterdam, however, this bakery it’s THE BEST In Amsterdam guaranteed the manger Andre Super friendly and he give an amazing customer service highly recommended

The service was very polite and the pastries were excellent! Really highly recommended.

Very nice and warm shop. With typical Dutch delicacies

Andrea and Flavie are super nice, they made us feel very welcome + the food is incredible, I highly recommend

Flavie and Andrea welcomed us very well ❤️❤️

We hadden net gegeten, maar we hadden nog zin in een toetje. Toen zagen we deze tent vlakbij en hier hebben we nog even een brownie naar binnen gewerkt. Aardig personeel!

Very warm and beautiful store! Very tasty food and friendly service! Always happy again.

Stropwaffel is very basic and very expensivs

4 euro for a small coffee late， not even good

Amazing place! Delicious, stunning service!

Just One bite of focaccia and you’ll immediately feel in Italy! Amazing staff and great position!

Served by the wonderful Andreas and Flavia. The proffertjies were to die for!!

I have been a regular at Kwakman for many years, since I live just opposite them on the Prinsengracht. I usually patronized them 2-3 times per week. BUT NOW I WILL NEVER GO BACK. Since the recent change in ownership the vibe is totally different, the woman who attended me today was utterly unpleasant and rude. The ghetto-style hip hop music they were playing at 8 am was too loud and too hostile to bear. When I asked her to turn the music down, she told me I could leave. They just lost a loyal customer.

Its my first time being here in Amsterdam and I was walking around just to discover this area and found this Absolutely AMAZING bakery. Tried the recommended pastrys made straight at the shop it's self by the cool guy himself. He is very nice and very friendly as well. Totally 5/5!!!! Come and try it yourself!!

We had Caprese sandwiches and cinabons, both were heated in the oven and served to us by friendly and patient staff.

We love to get a coffee and croissant in the morning at the Kwakman. The views from the standing table outside is a great way to start your day.

Tourist trap prices and angry boss around. Coffee was good but food was dry and overpriced

I live in Amsterdam and this bakery is in absolute my favorite, for the food (croissant and mini pancakes the best) and for the coffee as well. The workers are very good people🫶🏼

The most overpriced and disappointing waffles.

10 euro for a waffle - that’s robbery

For two waffles they charge you 16 euros. Not even if they were made at the time. Additionally, they do not set the prices of any products. A tourist scam, nothing more.

The food was AMAZING and the waffles were warm they made everything by hand and all of the employes were really nice because they didnt have ice cream they gave me whipped cream and kinder for the same price you also get really good quality for the Price.

It is very clear that they are not trying to scam tourists. When I was choosing a dessert he told me that it was 10 euros before giving it to me so I didn't take it anymore. The sandwich, the waffle and the dessert in the photo, which seems to be typical of the area, were very good and not very expensive. How bad it is to take away or at most to drink it standing up at some bars outside.

€10 for a waffle felt like robbery

For an ecler and coffee 12.15...crazy price. Nice people work, but price!!!!! Not anymore

I just walk in to take a cinnabons and casually I discovered that the barista were Italian and we started to talk. good talk, not so good the cinnabons

What made this place so lovely, was the amazing lady serving us. Her name is Salwa. She had the biggest smile when serving us and we had a fantastic conversation. So full of life and she really wanted us to leave the shop happy. The food was brilliant, but Salwa, you have made this a place for us to remember when we return. The only thing that could’ve made this place better, was if there was a seating area. There were roadworks directly outside the shop, so I guess that would’ve been the seating area.

8,5€ for old bread and nothing in it

Tasteless and overpriced coffee. The sandwich was fine.

Several options for breakfast. Very good cappuccino and friendly service.

2 random coffees, a cardboard cup, a Neapolitan, a waffle, drinking it while it's cold on the street: €20. Nothing special.

Bought some hot food, it was heated in the microwave and was cold in the middle when I finally ate it. Maybe better for sweet food.

All products are offered wonderfully, lovingly and in a very high quality form and manner. A highlight of coffee, breakfast pastries and sandwiches... absolutely recommended!!!

Friendly service. Great for a sweet treat and a coffee to warm up in the cold. Recommend the waffles with Nutella 😍🧇🍫

Low quality coffee and overprice

Dried out bakery…. Not fresh! Last night I had a terrible stomach ache and had to go to the toilet…. Also who I went with!

Ham and cheese croissant 3.00, mint tea 3.85 Croissant is good, served hot and crispy. But the mint tea is pretty thin, not sure if that’s how fresh mint tea should taste like. It's a bit pricy overall. There is no seat but a table for standing outside. You can also sit by the river infront of the cafe.

Gezellig personeel en vooral Niels de bakker

Lekkerste bakker van de stad, en de donut ook

Dolci ottimi ma 6 euro al pezzo era troppo

Good coffee and breakfast bakery options

delicious paninis & coffee:) lovely staff too

Opens early, no options to sit for breakfast but there’s a standing counter, host is welcoming.

STRA CONSIGLIATO! Mi fermo spesso qui quando sono in pausa e devo dire che è davvero tutto squisito! È impossibile scegliere un solo dolce tra tutta la scelta di bontà disponibili (muffin,brownies, croissant, pain au chocolat, cookies e tanto altro!) Personale gentilissimo e cordiale. Veramente piacevole, adoro andarci! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I often stop here when I'm on break and I must say that everything is really delicious! It is impossible to choose just one dessert from all the goodness available (muffins, brownies, croissants, pain au chocolat and much more!) Very nice and cordial staff. Really enjoyable.

Simply the best and warmest bakery you could find. 🥐☕

Niet goedkoop. Maar dat weet je op deze locatie. Prima broodjes, koffie, croissants, vriendelijk personeel.

Coffee is very good! Stopped for a quick brunch - coffee, pastry, doughnut. Nice place to stand and munch inside and out.

Great selection of baked goods. We went there a few times for their paninis and had a chocolate brownie and double chocolate cookie which were all very tasty. Easy to get to and fairly priced.

Incredible bakery Donuts , croissants, Belgian waffles both plain and cinnamon , cinnamon rolls. Baked items with brats inside with curry sauce. Super lattes $3.
