Eet Smakelijk in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

A typical tourist trap that we fell for. There were no prices displayed, so you're surprised when you pay at how expensive a small waffle can be. It tasted quite good, but it was simply far too expensive.

I am a little surprised this bakery is so underrated and the only thing I can trace it back to is their staff which granted is a little weird (as if they are doing a social thing …). But since I just buy things to consume at home that is of zero importance to me. The baked stuff is generally great and the sourdough good. Olive sticks are to die for. Realistic rating maybe 4.5.

Because you can't give zero stars. Disgusting food and coffee. Friendly waiter, but it did absolutely nothing to compensate for the awful taste of the food. Exorbitant prices

On Friday, October 16, 2026, during my break around 1:15 PM, I visited Bakker Meijssen at Amsterdam Zuid station to buy a sausage roll. What followed was a particularly disappointing experience. Upon entering, an employee was standing behind the counter visibly engrossed in her phone. There was no greeting. She then resumed her conversation with a colleague, while I stood waiting in front of the counter. For about two minutes, I was completely ignored. No eye contact, no greeting, and not a single attempt to help me as a customer. Ultimately, I decided to leave without buying anything. It is understandable that an employee might be busy for a moment, but completely ignoring a waiting customer is simply unacceptable. Especially for a store where the products are certainly not cheap, a minimum level of customer friendliness and professionalism should be expected. I find it concerning that a customer apparently receives so little attention. A simple greeting or the notification that I had to wait a moment would have been sufficient. Unfortunately, even that was missing. Based on this experience, I have little confidence that customer service is taken seriously here. Therefore, I will not be returning in the future!

Average bread and pastries, but not worth dealing with the rude staff. There are other bakeries nearby that are worth your money.
