Embracing a hip aesthetic, both Baristas and Bakers chill while performing their duties, it is while tapping on phones or laptops that most guests sip Coffee while indulging in flaky Kouign Amann or subtly savory Peanut Butter Miso Cookie with generous flexibility. Popular for Cakes sliced arbitrarily, the Chocolate bagged to go a messy decision but rich and moist, rumors of excellent "Banana Bread" prove factual though the fact that it is indeed Cake should make it evident that the flavor is sweet while the crumb is dense.

They make a solid latte, a decent omelet, and their chocolate croissants are delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping here for breakfast.

BBROOD ("brood", pronounced "brode", meaning "bread" in Dutch) is a chain of bakeries advertising…read morethat they only use sourdough in their breads which is great because this makes the use of raising agents redundant. In a review of Vlaamsch Broodhuys I stated: "... [sourdough bread is] the only "safe" bread i.e. there are no raising agents used in the process of making this bread. (raising agents prohibit the intake of most minerals because they form a membrane around them in your body and you flush them out of your system without absorbing them)". One of the minor symptoms of frequent consumption of regular bread is therefore fatigue. Moving on; Although the sourdough bread at Vlaamsch Broodhuys has a more authentic recipe, some of the sourdough breads at BBROOD taste much better and also considerably less sour (and thus appealing to more people perhaps). I particularly like "Spelt". A whole loaf costs €4 but in all fairness, it's roughly the same size of half a loaf of sourdough bread from Vlaamsch Broodhuys. Another great thing about this particular franchise of BBROOD is that it's even open in the weekend!!!

Because seriously, who doesn't want to quench their Amsterdam thirst before sipping on some very fine Espresso? I venture here mostly when the Neighborhood market is going on, which means throngs of locals, their kids, and possibly, their touristy friends, all looking to get some really good coffee without breaking the bank. There is usually a long line out the door...in today's case it took me about 10 minutes before I could even place an order. Oh, and the guy who took the order - total nice guy with a nice smile. The menu is really small - it's mostly a lot of coffees with some teas for people who like to drink teas at places with names that begin with 'Espresso' and some sweet stuff to go with said drinks. The ovens were working overtime, one batch after another in quick succession. Those fresh muffins will keep calling your name until you cave in and eat one. The apple pie actually had smoke erupting out of it, it was so fresh. I dig the espresso here...it's sort of pricey at €2 for a small, considering that one is never enough. The taste - oh so good! Did I mention free tap water and easy payment?

What luck, because I had actually stared at Google Maps for longer than I care to admit to find this place and lo and behold, I just rolled up to its patio area by sheer coincidence. (It's really not that hard to find. It's next to Ketelhuis.) I got an espresso for sitting at a sunny picnic bench outside while an electronica music festival beeped and buzzed in the park. The espresso was one of the best ones I've had in Amsterdam and if I had any space in my stomach, I would have gone for some of the intriguing little pastries they had on display.

The interior transported us; it's tasteful, contemporary, yet comfortable and inviting. We immediately felt peaceful. The people who greeted us were both laid back and attentive. The chefs behind the pass were cheerful and I really liked the whole vibe. We ordered the bone marrow, kohlrabi, and pumpkin dishes. The plating and presentation for each dish was creative. Each dish's sauces were so good, we could have licked the plates. They were generous with tap water (which can be rare in the Netherlands) and were laid back about us chilling on the couch after our meal, even gave us a carafe of water to make sure we didn't run out.
