Lekker’s Brood in Dapperbuurt

Just bought a Döner box, what delicious lamb, fresh crispy fries, and fresh lettuce, the Pide is also delicious freshly seasoned minced meat

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.

These people are amazing! Not only are they always cheerful and approachable, but they also have delicious bread (the sunflower seed pin = truly amazing! As are the whole wheat poppy seeds and plain white bread). And then there are the delicious pastries and a wide selection of other treats; every time I'm at the market, I stop by. Otherwise, I sign up for the BuurtBrood (Neighborhood Bread); such a great concept. Another important thing to know: All bakers have (had) to deal with the consequences of rising grain prices, including this one, so it's understandable that they have to pass this on to the customer. They explain that well. Of course, everyone wants to pay less, but this baker certainly doesn't pull any punches. In short: I can't think of anything negative to say about this company and its people.

The staff wasn't very friendly. The place was completely empty, and I ordered a coffee and a toasted sandwich for almost 10 euros. Yet, I had to wait at the counter for my coffee, which was lukewarm. Apparently, bringing the toasted sandwich to the table was too much trouble. You should expect some level of service, especially when it's quiet. It's a shame, this doesn't encourage me to come back.

Well, what can I say? I think it's the best bread in the Netherlands. Ever since I was a kid, we've walked to the Albert Cuyp Market (1963) to get sandwiches. And now, in 2025, I make a special detour and go to Ruijsdaelstraat. Hats off to the best bakery, I'll be back soon!
