This scent stayed with me, and as I woke up, the first thought that invaded my mind--and maybe my stomach--was the aroma of fresh bread . So, early in the morning, I rushed over and tried a little bit of everything. Everything I had was incredibly fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! **Translation to Dutch:** Gisteravond, terwijl we in de buurt liepen, werden we betoverd door de geur van de bakkerij die door de deuren naar buiten kwam. Deze geur bleef bij me hangen, en toen ik wakker werd, was de eerste gedachte die in me opkwam--misschien ook in mijn maag--de geur van vers brood . Dus ging ik vroeg in de ochtend terug en probeerde van alles een beetje. Alles wat ik had was ongelooflijk vers en heerlijk. Echt een aanrader!

During when it's normal, Bakkerij Kwakman is a homey, clean, little bakery that's located very conveniently (on the other corner, same side) of the hop-on hop-off canal boats' Leidsestraat stop. Super basic bakery stuff, nothing too fancy, but tasty and done well with a pretty good variety. In addition to their small loaves of bread (there seems to be a focus on sourdough), they also really emphasize themselves as a croissanterie (?). I got a croissant as well as a frikandelbroodje (sausage roll). It was a cold day and munching on toasted, warmed up pastries during a cloudy day while out on the canal was so GOOD. Additionally, they also had smoothies, bottles of fresh squeezed orange juice, and just a bunch of little treats set out for sale. Just head up on keeping an eye out cause they kind of have little things all over the place. They're a small place, and overall is pretty narrow. There's not much in terms of seating, just small counter inside with a few bar stools indoors. They do actually have a small outdoor space, which is a bit comparatively different to the surroundings. Outdoors, they have this little L-counter that encloses another two or three other bar stools, practically set onto the sidewalk. It was very cute. Overall, I thought the variety of simple but delicious food and drinks and cute, homey space makes this a great breakfast nook if you live nearby. I'd encourage people to visit when things are okay again.

I love how there are no extra preservatives, artificial preservatives or unhealthy bread that last an extensive time period on the shelf. You will find nothing but good wholesome bread and pastry that your parents or grandparents use to make back in the day. They sell nothing but quality in here. The customer service is excellent. So make sure to be very kind and pleasant to the employees, because they are simply wonderful. The prices are very reasonable and they always have some extra sweets worth dabbling in if you have a sweet tooth.

Great bread, great cocoa, great staff, great everything!…read more This was stop #1 in our "Hungry Birds" Food Tour (which you should absolutely check out at http://www.yelp.com/biz/hungry-birds-amsterdam). We had an assortment of traditional Dutch breakfast items (hot cocoa, bread, cheese, cookies, etc.) in the dining room, where we were told about the cool history of Hartog's. We then moved on to the bakery where we bought a loaf of whole wheat for a couple of dollars that we devoured in less than 2 days. We loved that this place took us slightly away from the touristy areas. Highly recommended if you want to see a more side of the City.

I recommend the woman waiter. On our third day there she attended us again. The second day I brought my own gluten-free bread and one slice got lost or something. We were seated on a round table which was great. Overall, I recommend it but I don't love it mostly because on the second day we weren't treated as well. PS:They also have this hazelnut creme which is really good and I recommend trying it.
