House Bread with Foraged Herb Butter
Wilde ZwijnenOost·$$$
Warm house-made bread with compound butter infused with foraged herbs.
Tip: The bread and herb butter are complimentary to start — it's a signal of Wilde Zwijnen's approach. Eat bread with the butter, not on its own.

Croissant
BakhuysWeesperbuurt·$
€2.80
Butter croissant with multiple laminated layers, baked daily.
Tip: Pair this with one of their excellent espressos — the combination is as good as you'll find in Amsterdam for under €7.
#3Score 88/100
Pain au Chocolat
BakhuysWeesperbuurt·$
€2.50
Laminated pastry with dark chocolate bars, crispy outside and tender inside.

Almond Croissant
BakhuysWeesperbuurt·$
€3.20
Croissant filled with almond cream and topped with sliced almonds.
Tip: This isn't on every day — ask the staff if they're available today before ordering.
