Reviewers repeatedly call this the best coffee they had in Amsterdam during their stay. The kitchen pulls double shots as standard and trains staff to American precision standards. People queue past other cafés just for this coffee.
Tips from diners
Ask for it strong — most coffee shops in Amsterdam under-extract, and this place can dial it in perfectly if you request it.
This dish showcases the restaurant's ability to blend Antipodean comfort food with global spice. The kumara (sweet potato) provides natural sweetness that balances the savoury mushrooms and tangy hollandaise. Multiple reviews call it the standout dish to order on repeat visits.
Tips from diners
This is the signature non-egg brunch option — order it if you want a break from the eggs benedict.
Reviewers consistently praise the poached eggs as perfectly cooked, the bacon as flavoursome and properly crisped, and the hollandaise as balanced and rich. This dish exemplifies the restaurant's obsession with precision in brunch fundamentals.
Tips from diners
Add yourself to the online waitlist before arriving to get a time estimate — saves standing outside guessing how long the queue is.
Go before 10am or after 2pm to avoid peak hour queues that regularly hit 60+ minutes.
Bakers & Roasters bakes all cakes on-site each morning. This one appears regularly on Instagram and in reviews as a must-order dessert — the banana and peanut complement the chocolate rather than fighting it, and reviewers note the texture stays moist even at busy peak hours when the case has been sitting under lights.
Tips from diners
Get this at the start of your visit because the fresh ones go quickly — by late morning they're often replaced with afternoon batches.
The salmon stack (hash browns with poached eggs, hollandaise, and smoked salmon) has reviewers returning the next day. The hash browns achieve the rare balance of a crispy exterior with creamy inside, and the portion is generous enough that one order easily feeds two if shared.
Tips from diners
Order a single portion and split it — the portions here are large enough to share between two people and saves space at the small tables.
Bakers & Roasters blends Antipodean breakfast culture with Latin American spice, drawing people who queue for an hour to sit in this small De Pijp location. The kitchen produces eggs benedict, kumara hash, cakes, and pastries fresh throughout the day — all coffee is served as double shots, and the coffee itself is Australian-style espresso that reviewers consistently praise as the best in Amsterdam. The restaurant operates walk-in only with an online waitlist system.
Use the Walk-In app to join the virtual queue from home — it saves 30-40 minutes of standing outside compared to just showing up.
The best time to visit is 2-3pm on weekdays — the queue evaporates and you get a table within 15 minutes.
All cakes are made fresh daily and the pastry selection changes — come early (before 11am) to get the full range.
