Bakkerswinkel Westerpark Amsterdam in Spaarndammer- en Zeeheldenbuurt

We happened to stop here because it was snowing heavily, but it wasn't a good experience. The waitress was nice but practically sent us away because they were closing very early. The cake was too cold from the refrigerator and dry as if it had been sitting there for weeks. Even the chai lattes were watery and tasteless. Furthermore, the toilet is downstairs in a messy, dirty basement where the tap constantly runs and can't be turned off.

I went here today with a friend for coffee and cake. The location is cozy and looks nice, but unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. We both ordered the red velvet, which, to our disappointment, was dry and hard. The cake also seemed half-frozen. It's a shame, because with better quality, this could be a nice place.

Delicious, but seriously, ten euros for a basic grilled cheese sandwich... The prices (and of course the accompanying smaller portion sizes, no frills) detract from the enjoyment. If not, this would be my favorite spot.

Very loud and unpleasant inside. Mediocre food and extremely burnt coffee, but at least it’s not too expensive.

Lovely charming place with home made authentic food. Spacious and child friendly. I also appreciated that some of the staff was a person with disability and I liked to have met them.

The food is delicious, the menu is small. The atmosphere is noisy, which is a personal preference. We were there at noon, but the floor was filthy… 😧 Crumbs everywhere, even under the tables. This is unhygienic. We sat down and politely asked, when the menu was brought, if we could wipe the table, as the woman had already put the menus down. She made a sour face and complained about me to a colleague (we saw this 😆). There were also a lot of dishes in full view on a table near the cash register. Nice location, the food is good, but it's DIRTY, and the woman in question was definitely not an asset to the establishment.

Nice food, recommend the pancakes.

20 minutes after ordering soup, they came to tell us that there actually was no soup that day. Okay, quiche then. It came after 30 minutes, one of them was cold at the bottom, and the other was equipped with a hair. Edit: as the store requested in their response, I sent them an email. However, they didn't bother responding..

Cozy vibes, good food (you can try the typical Dutch pancake) and a lot of variety

A nice place to enjoy coffee and a treat. Food is also available, but I haven't tried it yet.

The fried eggs were decent (though I had to send them back because I only asked for cheese and got bacon too), and the juice was also fine. But the goat cheese sandwich with two thin slices was very disappointing. Also, the tables are close together, and the dishes are completely visible?! We might come back for coffee sometime, but we'll skip the food.

i was sold a dated scone today. i didn't realise it when i bought it because it was takeaway but the employee sold a scone that was not fresh without any warning. it was soft. not going there again.

Nice, cozy place to sit, and the food is delicious. They have delicious sandwiches! I have to say, though, that the service is a bit slow, even though it wasn't busy. Otherwise, it's a really great place!

Too busy, queues to get in, not enough staff, empty tables but staff turning people away. 1 hour wait for food, both times I have been in the last 3 months my order was wrong. Tourist spot, one time visit orientated, shame.

Great place. Friendly staff and good food. Fast service even though it was busy at lunchtime. Excellent!

They don't know how to make clotted cream. You get your tea in a glase the size of a shot glass. Takes time to get a waiters attention.

I went to the bakery today, it's a really cozy and relaxed place. The service was great, and the girl with the ponytail was very friendly and professional. This was an experience I'll never forget, and I'll definitely be back. Best, Jasper

What a lovely place! I went here for dinner around 1:00 PM and we were immediately given a sunny spot. We were helped very quickly by Fien, who answered our questions with a smile. The coffee here is 10/10. And when the wind accidentally knocked over a coffee, we were immediately given a new one. I'll definitely be back. Best, Feike

For us, this is a great breakfast spot, beautifully located in Westerpark. Whether it was yogurt with fruit and granola, croissants or pain au chocolat (like in France 🤤), or even a variety of scones – we were completely happy and satisfied. We loved it and kept coming back. When the weather's nice, you can sit outside on the spacious terrace behind the house or at the front and enjoy a delicious coffee in the sunshine. Right next door, there's a separate takeaway shop that opens half an hour earlier. The café is also a great place for a healthy lunch stop. They offer soups, salads, and quiche as weekly specials. Highly recommended if you're in Westerpark.

Popped in for some quick breakfast, but was impressed enough I paused to write a quick review. The Framboos wit Chocolate Cheesecake was so very delicious. Great Cappacino and Croissants as well. Will be back for more cheesecake. EDIT: Came back for more Framboos wit Chocolate Cheesecake with another Cappacino the next day on the way to the airport. Was not disappointed.

Delicious raisin scone, cinnamon is not recommended. The mozzarella roll looked delicious.

Very good. Beautiful setting. Reasonably priced. Enough food for a grown man :)

The food is great, but you’re better off buying it in the small shop (not the restaurant). Half my order was missing, and I had to wait 25 minutes for my coffee too come. The place was empty and staff was just talking to each other

Had such a lovely experience here for a high tea! The food was so abundant — honestly, incredible value for money. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and super satisfying. I hosted my friend’s baby shower here and was genuinely impressed with how flexible and accommodating the team was. They let me decorate the space exactly how I envisioned it, and the atmosphere was just perfect — rustic, cozy, and effortlessly chic. Everyone left full and happy — can’t recommend this place enough for a special gathering or just a delicious, indulgent afternoon treat. Will definitely be back!

What a terrible place, the staff are incredibly unfriendly. I see I'm not the only one who's unhappy about this. The owner or floor manager, in particular, is incredibly grumpy. As an Amsterdammer, I wouldn't recommend going here; there are much nicer places in Westerpark.

The employee is the most unfriendly person i ever met

Delicious bread & terrific location. Get a reservation in advance on weekends, it’s a popular place.

The service was ok, but the pankake i ordered was very small and undewhelming for the price. The pankakes are not recommended.

I ate the most delicious cheesecake in all of Amsterdam here🥰

Breakfast pricing doesn’t make much sense, the bundles have jumped from the price of 8-12 euro to 16-20 euro. Would rather not force a bundle and just let people decide

Amazing scones!!! Nice location and great coffee. Tom was super kind

Good food, good selection, friendly people who work there. Small negative point; you are very close together

Fast, friendly service and good honest food.

Lovely place for brunch or lunch. They have an amazing looking high tea that I'm yet to try too.

The bread is so good! I only wish they stocked the baguette from Menno. There’s nowhere to but good baguette in the West!

Plus points: The scone was amazing, and staff was nice. Min points: unfortunately the other food was mediocre, and this Aperol spritz barely had Aperol in it. It tasted like watered down wine (see photo)… hopefully this feedback will get back to the bartender for improvement ❤️

Poor service, high prices, and poor cleanliness.

We recently had lunch at De Bakkerswinkel in Amsterdam West. Fortunately, the food was very good – fresh, tasty and prepared with care. The atmosphere in the shop is cozy and inviting. Unfortunately, the service was quite disappointing. Upon arrival we received a dirty cup, which we had to have exchanged. Then it turned out that there was no honey, cutlery or teaspoons with the tea, so we had to go to the counter several times to arrange this. That felt a bit sloppy and not very hospitable. We understand that it can be busy, but we hope that more attention will be paid to the service in the future. Because with such tasty dishes, a little more attentive service would complete the experience.

A lot of waiting for service and so few customers (ordering, receiving the dish, paying the bill). All this so that we were served half a quiche, telling us that this is what was left.

Cozy place, delicious cuisine. I liked that the dishes came with a small portion of salad

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. We had made reservations for a baby shower, but had to wait at the “Wait to be seated” sign for more than fifteen minutes without anyone receiving us. The table was not nicely decorated and the welcome was far from friendly. The service was poor, disinterested and the pregnant guest was not taken into account at all (also in terms of food). The final bill was higher without clear communication. Not recommended.

What a huge disappointment this tent. Not only the food, which was mediocre and unimaginative, but especially the unfriendly and uninterested staff. In particular the floor manager. Arrogant, not service oriented and downright rude. Not an ounce of hospitality or professionalism. Questions or comments are cut off or simply ignored. As a customer you definitely don't feel welcome. Chapeau Bakkerswinkel; Anyway, you lost more than 10 customers this afternoon. And with this attitude there will only be more. In short: not flexible, not service-oriented, arrogant, unfriendly, rude — and a total turn-off for anyone hoping for a nice catering experience.

Nice scones. However it come with whipped cream and jam not clotted cream.

Super nice outside area, delicious freshly baked goods - the croissant was perfect (I am french) the scones airy the raspberry jam is to die for, lovely humans serving us too!

Had lunch here by chance. It was very tasty and also fun. Definitely recommended!!

Overduidelijk de populairste plek in de buurt. Mooie locatie zo bij het park, voldoende keuze. Wel erg aan de prijs (9,75 voor een tosti). Binnen is het druk en de kleine tafeltjes staan erg dicht op elkaar.

Very nice that I could just go to the toilet there, super friendly staff

Edit: Is this AI reply? I was there nine years ago, and the rating is that old 😅

Previously you got nice sandwiches here, now they are miniscule.

Great service and excellent quality food and drinks! A genuine sense of hospitality that’s hard to find in Amsterdam.

Highly recommended. Reservations are recommended..

Super good breakfast. Our hotel was nearby and we were going to have our breakfast/brunch here. Absolutely not disappointed! Friendly, open-minded family atmosphere. Fast service, good food and drinks. Go for it but be careful quickly :)

Super nice eatery. Pleasantly noisy. Beautiful building (former gas factory). Alternative atmosphere. Excellent food! Service is relaxed (Sunday around lunchtime). Reasonable prices.

Very cozy and nice place with tasty lunch and coffee

Cozy place with really excellent cappucino from fresh and good quality beans, tasty pastries, with excellent service as Christmas on the cake!

Delicious cake(s) and excellent service.

The staff is very friendly, but this place is in urgent need of renovation. The chairs are old and uncomfortable, the interior is dark and musty and what was really a huge letdown: during our lunch my friend and I saw MICE walking around our feet! Our appetite disappeared immediately, and we paid immediately. This no longer feels like a charming 'old style' atmosphere, but simply shabby. This place is crying out for a thorough makeover.

the food is really great! the scones are irresistible, but the quiche and sandwich were also delicious. the atmosphere upstairs is a bit less than downstairs, but quieter. The only downside I think is that some chairs are really no longer suitable for sitting. I like the mixed bag style, but if there's a hole about 6 inches in diameter in your chair, or it wobbles so much that you can't sit still, then it really needs to go. In my opinion, a little more attention could be paid to that. nothing but praise, absolutely recommended for a tasty breakfast or lunch.

My friends and I are traveling for leisure and we had a small waiting period for our Airbnb to check in. We lugged our suitcases with us here and were seated immediately. Everyone was so kind, the food and cappuccinos were excellent, and the atmosphere as fantastic.

The baked goods and atmosphere was so enjoyable and comfortable. We did not wait long for our table and the waitress was attentive to non-Dutch speakers. We ordered two quiches with pumpkin, goat cheese and peppers, and veg and ham. On the side, we ordered a savory scone with cream cheese which was surprisingly tasty and the scone was baked to perfection! The price was reasonable and included tips too! Will definitely visit again in the future. Highly recommend this place, may recommend to call for reservation beforehand.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting, De Bakkerswinkel is a charming stop to satisfy your cravings.

Arrived here unexpectedly without having made a reservation. It soon turned out to be super busy and we had little chance of getting a table. In the end they were able to free up a table for us and thankfully! The service was very friendly and the food was super tasty.

We had breakfast here for 2 mornings. It was close to the hotel we stayed in. But the flavors were great. The service was great. The egg breakfast was a great choice.

It was very close to where we were staying. Their sandwiches are great. The coffee is good too. It is recommended. 💐

We had High Tea for brunch. Good food and friendly staff.

Sorry but the food was barely eatable, everything soggy and cold.. Not fresh and tasteless. Not even the simple tosti was touched by the kids. The other Bakkerswinkel location in Zuid is consistently super high quality, been going there for over 10 years. Such a shame because this is a beautiful iconic location, could have been so much more. The service is ok, but a very disappointing experience. If you go there only for a coffee and a nice spot on the terrace..

We have been living opposite the Bakkerwinkel for six months, but decided to have breakfast there yesterday morning with my wife and son. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the great service. And good service certainly deserves my appreciation. We have therefore decided to come and have breakfast with you every two weeks on a Saturday morning. So see you soon, great guys!

Very nice atmosphere, everything was well organised, everything was ready. and we had a delicious meal

Service was very disinterested. Not a word to the customer. As a result, the atmosphere was less.

The scone with clotted cream and jam is a must! Chill place, we hung out here for over an hour before walking around in the park.

Amazing dishes! The scones are delicious and the staff is very friendly. They are also dog friendly!

Always nice to have lunch here!

Its been months and I think of the coffee and croissant I had here every day.

Top high tea. Everything was tasty, fresh, good quality. Our group of 9 had a nice table outside. We had to move some things due to the strong sun, which was no problem and we were kindly helped. Ideal for families due to play opportunities (paddling pool nearby). Very satisfied!

Nice atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food. What is unfortunate is that the table was cleared early while 2 of the 4 guests were still eating.

Delicious sandwiches. Delicious croissants. Nice place to sit. Can't say anything other than; what a nice place

I used to come here regularly with great pleasure, good food and a nice place. Today I bought everything for a picnic in the park but I was not impressed: the quiche was supposed to be caprese but when it arrived at the park it turned out to be one with beets and it really didn't taste fresh, more like a day or two old. Also the scones that were always delicious before were this time old and did not taste as if they had been baked that day: dry and grainy. I don't know if it got worse or if we were just unlucky, but I wouldn't recommend it, especially at that price. Shame!

Nice place for a little gourmet break. The vegan cake is very good.

My mother has been coming here since I was 1? years old and believe me, that was a very long time ago 🙂! Everyone is always nice and the food is very tasty 😋. The entire neighborhood plus some tourists come together there. Sometimes you have to be lucky to get a table, but it is always the nicest restaurant in Amsterdam!! If you also take a look at the Take-Away store, you won't be able to get out anytime soon 🥐!

Top breakfast. I loved the food, place, and everything about the place

First of all, there is finally a place in Amsterdam where I can eat at reasonable prices!! Delicious food. Good coffee. The place is charming and cosy. The staff are friendly and smiling. Thank you for the nice experience.

Amazing cafe at a beautiful location of westerpark. Everything is freshly made at the cafe every day and nothing can be termed as bad. The staff is friendly and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I would highly recommend advance reservation. Overall quite an amazing cafe for brunch.

Had high tea for baby shower here. Positive: because it was so hot, the service put bottles of water on the table. Point for improvement: no one proactively asked if new tea could be poured. Food was delicious and more than enough.

Very nice location with a large outdoor terrace, we had a nice lunch here, the staff is very friendly

Heel mooi gelegen buitenterras heel groot ,wij hadden hier gelunched en dat was zeer smakelijk ,perdoneel heel vriendelijk ,mooie plek om even te zijn

Delicious scones and cakes and quiches

Very cozy for breakfast and brunch. The atmosphere is also very cozy with lots of people and a lively atmosphere. The gluten-free brownie was nice and moist and had a good taste and the scone was very airy and not dry. Definitely coming back here with my friend.

Fijne high tea gehad met heerlijke hapjes! Voor een babyshower hebben we bij de Bakkerswinkel een high tea gedaan, het was goed verzorgd en er werd fijn meegedacht, top!

Great terrace and fresh healthy food , perfect for summertime

Wonderful place, great cheese toast and amazing scones!

De bakkers winkel is een begrip in de buurt. Het is 1 van de weinige plaatsen in de buurt waar je ongedwongen kunt ontbijten. Of lekker koffie afhalen met een croissantje, en dan buiten in de zon zitten. De kaart is divers in brood producten waarvan ook meerder opties glutenvrij. En dan de befaamde scones, deze zijn echt heerlijk! Wil je lekker zitten, zonder poeha, zit je hier goed.

I was looking forward to apple pie all day so that I could have the driest cake ever. It looked ugly and only tasted like cinnamon. Disappointing. In addition, the service got on our nerves MULTIPLE times because the store closed in 30-40 minutes. Excellent

Nice stop after a visit at la Fabrique des Lumières for a delicious homemade cake and a tea or a coffee. The place is cozy, and the service is perfect.

Friendly staff. High tea was delicious!

Today we didn't have the best experience here. It wasn't very busy but it took quite a while before our sandwiches were ready. Then we got a burnt and hard sandwich. So disappointment A piece of banana bread (delicious by the way), 1 fresh orange juice and 2 toasted sandwiches cost us 22 euros. Very pricey for what we got.

It's a nice place to take a break after leaving the Fabrique de Mullier Museum. The apple pies, delicious coffees are diverse and very fresh. It is recommended.

Not very enthusiastic. The sandwiches were sparsely filled and the 'quiche' was only a small item. There are many people with (small) children, which for me does not contribute to the atmosphere. The tables are close together on the terrace, so it is difficult to have private conversations (it's also not nice if you sit next to busy children, but that's probably just me). The cushions on the terrace benches are full of stains, making it not very attractive to sit there. The cleaning of the tables could also be better, only the crumbs are wiped off.

Bad service. Had to wait more than 30 minutes for scone. Also had to wait a very long time to be able to sit as two people. Even though there were 2person seating tables, the staff did not seat us. People who made reservations were larger groups (more than 2 people). So basically there were some tables for 2 people that were never busy and we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. At tables that were always free. Does not make any sense. Our table was also dirty and was only cleaned when we specifically requested it.

Very nice bakery also with tasty savoury foods, like sandwiches etc. Sweet staff too☺️

Great place, nice food, friendly staff =)
