No refined-sugar-free pastries

Disappointed to find nothing without refined sugar. Cane sugar in a couple of items was the nearest to it.

Pros: Impressive at what they do.

Cons: Nothing free of refined sugar.

Simply lovely

An incredible bakery with lots of great vegan treats.

The pistachio cruffin and pistachio paste were our favourites. If you leave outside of the EU and you can bring the paste home with you, defiantly do it!!

Pros: Pistachio Paste

Expected to be better

We saw a lot of good reviews about this place and when arriving there also were people in the line waiting even outside. That as well made us think it should be really good then. But honestly we have had much better vegan pastry than this. Sure it was fine but taste wasn't as good as we expected and also they were a bit dried out so probably they were from a day before. We appreciate though that it's all vegan. But wouldn't say it was worth the hype.

Worth the trip to Amsterdam

I had a lot of luck because there was no que. Ordered their famous Cruffin and this is indeed a very tasty snack: Croissant-like dough - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and a filling of pistachio, blueberry and frangipane!

Best sandwich ever

On our first day of our trip to Amsterdam we visited and had the beetroot, wasabi mayo and ‘feta’ sandwich and it was so good that I went back multiple times! I’ve even tried to replicate it since! All pastries and food from here was delicious and definitely should be top of your list.

Not worth it

I queued on a busy Saturday for 30 minutes or so to try the pastries. The line wasn't that long, but the service moved at a glacial pace. The pastries I tried were fine, but absolutely not worth the wait or the price.

Delicious!

This place is well worth the hype! We popped in at about 10 am and luckily there wasn't a queue. The pastries are huge (about the size of your head!) and delicious, especially when washed down with an oat latte. Staff were really nice and quick to clean tables once people left. There's limited seating area available, so expect to have to takeout if you come during busier times.

Heerlijk ontbijtje!

Er stond een lange rij bij de zoete kant van Saint-Jean, dus we zijn naar de hartige kant gegaan. Daar stond een iets minder lange rij... In de rij staan is het helemaal waard. Heerlijke vegan hartige producten. De croissant was super lekker en knapperig, net als de 'kaasstengel'. Ondanks de lange rij konden we zitten (er zijn maar 4 tafeltjes), prima dus!

Now I get why people wait 30 minutes to get in

We went here because of the many recommendations on HappyCow and were first taken aback by the fact that there was a rather large queue outside. But we decided to stay and wait (~30 min) and it was absolutely worth it.
We had the pistachio cruffin, the seasonal cruffin, the pain au chocolat with hazelnut and almond filling and a chocolate babka accompanied by latte and hot chocolate.
Everything was absolutely delicious and we really loved it. It is definitely worth the wait.

Pros: The pistachio cruffin, Choice of oat or soy milk for drinks

Cons: You have to wait in line, It's rather pricy (but worth it!)

Nice but a little overrated

Considering the hype and the queue outside, I was a little disappointed. The pastries I had were SO oily. Nice but expected more :):)

Their pistachio cruffin is to die for! Everything they sell is fully vegan, delicious and deserves 5 stars! You sometimes have to wait in line but it’s worth it!

Incredible!

Had a corridor and a pistachio croissant. One of the best I’ve ever had (even compared to ones I’ve had before going vegan)

Busy but worth a try!

This place is very popular and the pastries are gorgeous. We tried an apple turnover type pastry and the famous pistachio cruffin. The cruffin is very full of pistachio cream, so consider that if you're not a huge pistachio fan! Both pastries were delicious and the pastry dough itself was very well layered - I'd have no idea it was vegan. The line moves quickly, so it's definitely worth waiting a bit, but have a backup plan for where to go to enjoy your pastries because seating inside is very limited. We would definitely go back when in Amsterdam again!

Simply Wow!

I stumbled upon this gem of a bakery and was absolutely blown away! As a vegan, it’s often challenging to find a place that offers not just options, but truly delicious, creative, and fresh treats. This bakery exceeded all my expectations. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warmest smiles and an array of colorful, mouth-watering pastries that look almost too good to eat.

I tried their vegan croissants, which were flaky, buttery (without the butter!), and perfectly golden. The cakes were divine, bursting with flavor and beautifully decorated. They even had a selection of gluten-free options, which my friend raved about! You can really taste the love and care in every bite.

What I loved the most was how inventive they are with flavors. From classic vanilla and chocolate to more adventurous combinations like matcha and raspberry, every dessert was a pleasant surprise.

If you’re in search of a guilt-free indulgence or simply want to experience how incredible plant-based baking can be, this place is a must-visit. I’m already planning my next trip back!
