Brothers Niemeijer in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Niemeijer is an oasis on a bustling, ungorgeous tourist street in one of Amsterdam’s most touristy areas. The bakery feels like a discovery you want to keep secret, yet it’s clearly known to locals (who queue outside waiting for the doors to open) and travelers alike. Naturally leavened breads, yeasted loaves, and beautifully laminated pastries are complemented by excellent coffee, delivered by a wonderful young staff, Evie especially, who keep pace with the steady flow of customers. Sit upstairs and look up at the frescoed ceiling, or gaze out through the oversized plate-glass window to the street below. My favorite breakfast: walnut and fig petit pains with Gruyère and a flat white. But I'll be back tomorrow for a croissant or a pain au chocolat!

I love this place for breakfast and lunch. They also sell very tasty and fresh pastries and really good bread. This place manages to not be touristy while smack in the middle of the highly touristic area close to the station. I recommend the eclairs and the bread with fig and walnuts.

I'm local and visited this backery for the first time for someone told me it was worth it. My daughter's hot chocolate could have done with double the dose of cacao instead the meager portion it had. The oude kaas baguette could have done with a 3rd slice of cheese (too little) and with some French moutarde instead of the tasteless Dutch one. The coffee was okay. Asking for the bill at the cash register I first got someone else's, then just the payment bill, and only after a 3rd request the actual bill. This one showed I paid € 32 instead of the € 23 I was required to pay. As I had to ask 3 times for the bill, I believe the mistake was intentional. Surely this place was once a must, due to its success I doubt it still is. Becoming a tourist trap.

The staff is an amazing group of people ✌️🌟😎

The croissant was terrible — everything about it felt dirty and old! The croissant was terrible — everything about it felt dirty and old

Croissants are very tasty but very small, especially for the price you pay for them.

Lovely lovely spot! Only tried the croissant but it was incredible (not the butteriest but definitely the best flavor!). Coffee was average, but service was excellent.

Great simple breakfast. Lovely nice hospitality. Loved it.

Awesome bread and fantastic service!

Exceptionally tasty snacks, excellent coffee, a lovely spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. A trendy setting in the heart of Amsterdam. We arrived at a busy time, which made the service a bit slow. Our order took a while to arrive and turned out to be missing. It was resolved politely and kindly.

The croissants are so fresh and crispy! The coffee is also good. They have freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade lemonade, and a variety of breads. It's a great place for a quick break while wandering the streets of the city center!

Awesome experience, great food and staff. A must for a great breakfast

Simply fantastic bread, nothing more, nothing less.

Fantastic Bakery! Absolutely loved Gebroeders Niemeijer — the croissants and pastries are perfection, fresh and buttery just like in Paris. Beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, and everything tastes handmade with care. A must-visit bakery in Amsterdam!

This is a delightful place and the staff is really kind. We came in with a young child and a stroller, there is a room with a child seat and toys, one of the staff allowed us to keep the stroller on the ground floor. The croissants are amazing, really crispy, the cappuccino really good and the babyccino was the best we got in Amsterdam.

Tarek good service, good smile :)

Coffee good, backeries not so good, cold and dry, table is sticky.

super polite, super welcoming, super good bread … go to amsterdam, have a banging night-out, have a lot of wine and beer, go to bed late, wake up, stroll to gebroeder niemeijer, have a coffee, an orange juice and a simple mini baguette with comte or old farmers-cheese and feel how you get cured…before you leave take a pastry to go and your day is set to be wonderful

Excellent quality bread and croissants. Plus, very good coffee and orange juice. All this with very friendly service and very fair prices! 5 stars!

Incredibly high-quality baked goods for an incredibly low price. I didn't expect so much quality and style on such a strange tourist street. And the staff is so friendly, too. Great place! 🔋

The Mille Feuille was just amazing! The crust and cream were so good. Would happily go again just for that.

I’m very disappointed with this bakery. The pain au chocolat is inconsistent in size — sometimes decent, but most of the time tiny, weighing only around 60g. To make matters worse, they recently raised the price from €1.90 to €2.10 without any improvement in quality. It feels unfair and frustrating. The bread itself is okay to good, but still highly overpriced for what you get.

Slowest service ever, terrible viennoiserie (trust me: I'm French), loud music, the table was dirty. Overall it's a disaster

Excellent pastries (French but also other sorts like scones), very impressed!!

Very nice french-style bakery with good small viennoiseries options.

Nice bakery with good bread, coffee is not recommend. 4,20 for an diluted Americano isn’t worth it.

Amazing croissants, it was crispy outside and soft and chewy inside, not overly oily/buttery, just perfection! Also good coffee! Will come back when visiting Amsterdam again.

In my opinion, it's the best baguette in Amsterdam (even compared to some other specialty bakeries; my wife thinks Le Fournil de Sébastien's is the best). A firm, crispy, and flavorful crust, also delicious on the inside, though sometimes oddly shaped (thick ends, very thin center). Also delicious whole-wheat sourdough bread. The price of €2.30 is slightly below average for the specialty bakeries I've tried in recent weeks. Being open on Sundays is a plus for me. Ordering isn't always easy, and no response to emails can mean it hasn't been read or processed.

Fantastic authentic bakers and cafe. I had a small baguette with Parma ham which was perfect. Bread was amazing. The bakers can be seen baking the bread downstairs enhancing the fantastic coffee smell.great coffee to!

Incredibly fresh baguette, incredibly beautiful accompaniments. Definitely choose this for a soft breakfast. The lemon tart is legendary.

Oh, such a great oldskool, old fashioned store. Bread as fresh as possible! Excellent breakfast.

very quiet place with good pastries and prices. workers are really nice and kind.

A very good baguette with cheese and ham plus good coffee.

It's wonderful to find a truly good bakery in the Netherlands as a Flemish person! The petit déjeuner was superb in its simplicity: the bread and croissant spoke for themselves.

Bread with an Italian touch. Beautiful location, delicious bread, and very friendly staff.

The food was truly excellent – fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. Unfortunately, the cleanliness could have been better. The dishes, cutlery, and table weren’t very clean, and everything was wiped down with an old, worn-out cloth. That’s a shame, as it took away from an otherwise very positive experience.

I love this shop! Everything is amazing and the staff is so kind and expert! I tried petit déjeuner extra and I suggest this combo!

I recently visited this charming bakery, and it’s truly a gem for breakfast lovers! They offer a delightful range of European-style pastries, breads, and sweets, all of which are absolutely delicious. The cappuccinos and lattes are perfectly crafted, complementing the food beautifully. What makes this place special is that everything is baked fresh downstairs by the skilled baker and served straight from the oven. The quality is outstanding, with every bite bursting with flavor. Highly recommend for a cozy, top-notch breakfast experience!

The ideal place for breakfast with freshly baked bread and the best homemade croissant I've ever tasted. Highly recommended. I recommend the Petit déjeuner extra with Dori Petit panettone with jam and butter, a croissant with farm cheese and Italian ham, orange juice, and coffee.

Excellent place, very very pleasant atmosphere and spectacular service

The best French bread in Amsterdam.

a large selection of fresh baked goods, I recommend

Ordered a petit dejeuner extra. Very tasty!!! A place where you can have a nice and quick breakfast. If you like to read other reviews like I do: remember that tastes differ. Comparing the prices and the size with other bakeries or even other countries is comparing apples and oranges. We found the size of the 'petit dejeuner extra' perfect. Different types of cheese, delicious! It is not cheap, and that makes sense when you consider the location and the battery of staff that is working. Very nice, because that way we did not have to wait on a Saturday morning during a long weekend. The breakfast was quick and the second round of coffee too. But if we are comparing: compared to other lunch places I found it very affordable and very filling! Only hungry again late in the afternoon.

Delicious and fresh croissants! The quality is great, and they're not that expensive. The coffee is good, and the service is quick and friendly. Nice place, fairly centrally located.

An ordinary bakery. Delicious but the prices for some items are too high. The service is polite

Delicious croissants and a good breakfast. You can sit comfortably there and refuel for the day.

the baguette with cheese and mustard and butter is literally the perfect start to your day

We had a very good breakfast and were served nicely

The best croissants in the Netherlands

One of the few remaining real bakeries in the center. Fresh and hearty sourdough whole wheat bread with a crispy crust

As good French people, we wanted good bread during our stay. It was difficult to find a real bakery in Amsterdam.. we were advised to buy bread in a supermarket.. but finally after some research we came across this bakery. We enjoyed the walnut bread! 🤩

We went there for breakfast and both had a baguette (one with cheese, other with cheese and ham). The baguette had a nice crust, cheese made a nice contrast. Service was amazing and prices where very fair.

Got some bread to take away—tasted great! Friendly staff and lovely bakery.

We are in Amsterdam for a short holiday ,went to this place for the first time to have a quick coffee and to rest for walking in town The place is cute , old design , basic furniture no decoration but you just look at the bakery and know how classy and authentic this place is despite being in 2025 they are not following any trend and have their own style and class I had decaf americano coffee with citrus cake dusted icing sugar on top that was soooo delicious and just like home made My friend had Millie feuille and was a big piece and very nice . They actually had too many options to pick from all freshly made and healthy Place have a seating area but on a top level so few steps up , Staff were young and friendly and super kind. Place was super busy and people were queuing to grab a drink/food

Very good bakery in the middle of the center of Amsterdam, breads and croissants, sandwiches and the attention of the very friendly staff. I placed an order to go and they prepared it very well!

Excelente obrador. El pan y las pastas están deliciosas. Recomiendo el croissant. Hay mesas dentro y el personal es muy atento.

Great breakfast, super well served, the service is top notch. small but welcoming!

Really small portions for food and the coffee is pretty average

Had a really good croissant here with ham and cheese!

The miche with walnuts and blue cheese is a must-try!

Ik heb hier een beste croissant ooit gegeten! Het is een heel drukke plek dus we moesten een beetje wachten maar dat was het waard. Met het frans ontbijt konden we van een paar soorten broodjes genieten. Mooie plek voor het ontbijt en brunch.

Great! The best you can find in Amsterdam! The breakfast is one of the best we've tried, as is the coffee! The staff is kind, pleasant and helpful!

Nice place for a coffe , but the food isn’t worth it

Encontramos este lugar cuando llegamos a la ciudad para una corta estancia - pequeña calle lateral - productos horneados frescos y extremadamente frescos - buen café y productos de panadería, a un buen precio. Dos capuchinos y dos productos horneados 13. 10 € y un edificio tan interesante en el interior. Junto con muy servicial y guía de donde tenemos que ir a continuación.

No cash payments ridiculous is a legal means of payment

Great pastries and coffee and amazing baguettes. Super reasonably priced also! Visited a few times, both take out and dine in with great service for both.

Great experience! The bread was delicious! Everything we ordered was 5 stars

We had one of the most delicious breakfasts we’ve ever tasted. The croissants were perfection. The granola was delicious. 10 stars!! The whole atmosphere was just lovely cosy vibes, will definitely come again.

Delicious pastries, good coffee.

Cute and yummy French bakery with a friendly hostess.

Their products are delicious. They have small breakfast menus. It is both beautiful and the prices are affordable.

Nice little bakery not far from Amsterdam Central Station. Very attentive and friendly service and an attractive price-performance ratio. Next time we are in Amsterdam we will definitely come back.

Been going here for 6 years and the quality has not changed. Cozy and great quality products.

We had breakfast there two days on our trip to Amsterdam. Everything is perfect, the croisants are delicious and the girls are very friendly

Gem of a place. Every time I go to Amsterdam for a meeting, I'll stop by to get the lemon or chocolate tarts. The coffee and service is really good too. And I can work in the cafe!

It was near the central station, so it was perfect for taking a break when you were tired. The canale was delicious, and the hot chocolate was also good.

On the Nieuwendijk with many small and larger shops, bars, chip shops and somewhere in between you will find the extraordinary Café Brothers Niemeijer. It's different from all the other cafes, a bit big, but nice and cool in the summer. The range is good, in addition to bread, baguettes, croissants and other tartelets you can also find finaciers there. And the coffee is delicious!

Nice place for coffee and something tasty. Service a little too slow due to crowds. Very friendly!

Yummy and fresh pastries! Great coffee and lovely atmosphere. 100% recommended

The croissants are not super special, but they are freshly baked and without fuss, just the way I like them! The menu is therefore not very extensive with sandwiches/croissants, but is more based on the baked goods made from the shop itself. The price versus quality is super neat! No high prices here, but a great breakfast! The service is also great, they are very fast and nice! A nice original shop in a touristy part of Amsterdam. I will definitely make a stop here more often if I have to be in the center again

Had a delicious breakfast, friendly service.

Small and cozy bakery. They produce all their products inside there. Fresh croissants! Great coffe Tazadoro.

Very welcoming, nice place with lots of nice things for breakfast, very reasonable prices, I recommend

Ragazzi giovani simpatici e bravi, abbiamo fatto colazione qui un paio di mattine con prodotti salati e dolci di ottima qualità.

The quality of the viennoiseries is unmatched to anything I’ve had (and I am living in France).

Very kind staff, welcoming place and with a wide choice of delicious baked goods. Very good breakfast

A beautiful bakery with a nice seating area and an incredibly fine breakfast with excellent baked goods

I looked for a baker who bakes bread in the original French way and found this. Just got a croisant, and... Wow! Super tasty. Highly recommended. The location is a bit strange between all those typical tourist shops.

A baker who does everything differently from the others. The results are impressive! Awesome.

Incredibly fine baked goods and equally fine tasting drinks. A small café and bakery together in a small space. Young friendly staff. A visit is worth it!

Nice place for breakfast and a snack. Vintage and refined... within the limits of local style. Good food, decent coffee and cappuccino, but for the standard of Amsterdam they are really good!

Best tartar i have eaten in my life.

French baker within walking distance of the train station. Baking takes place in the cellar. Seating in the sales room and on the mezzanine. There is also breakfast and a lunch menu with sandwiches and snacks. The croissants are amazing and so is the fig bread. Many types of dark bread are also available. They're good at coffee too. We had breakfast here twice and would come again and again. It's not super cozy here, but the decor suits the store. Service was quick and friendly. It's a bit noisy there, but the quality of the baked goods lets you ignore that.

Absurd price for the size and quality of food

Extremely small sandwiches and croissants at far too high a price. Service comment: then you order two, they are not supermarket croissants. However, they are also many times smaller than at other bakeries or in Paris itself and not nearly as airy and tasty. Absolutely not worth the money. Shame.

I stopped for lunch at this bakery serving Kef cheese. The baguette was good, and the cheese as well. A little more cheese in the bread would have been better. Great service.

Wish I'd read the reviews before coming. Bought a selection of pastries, all were rock hard and one actively burned. Also tiny. Complete waste of money

Really super tasty things! Wonderful to have something to eat and coffee!

Cute cute cute with bold breads and loyal customers. Arrive early!

Sitting fee. A horrendous example of pettiness
