Yall! This place is so good! I would highly recommend the almond cross and, chocolate croissant, and veggie pizza. Honestly those are the only 3 things I tried but I loved them. The first time I went I had the sweetest lady helping me put. The second time I went the man helping was in the worst mood. I hope his day got better. It's extremely busy and can be a little hard to place and order if you're not quick enough. I would recommend getting your order and taking it elsewhere to enjoy. read more

So blown away by this spot! We happened to be staying at a hotel a few steps away and the fresh orange juice, good sandwiches, mind blowing quiche (our daughter was asking if she could bring them on our flight home), and delectable pastries (the chocolate cake that is nice and dense without being overly sweet)... and friendly service (the person helping us was so patient).... if I lived here I would be heading here daily! read more

Fantastic bakery for a quick lunch. Tried a Hawaiian pizza, it was delicious. Staff was fast and friendly - credit card only. read more

Passed by this place while out exploring the town. We each got a ham and cheese croissant. They were so good. In addition to the cheese they put inside of the pastry they also put parmesan cheese on top and then toasted it. I'm over here drooling now just thinking about them. We went by again on our last day and got another one along with some cookies. This was a great place to finish off our visit. read more

Delicious pastries and readily re-heated sandwich and savories. I had breakfast here more than once - it was so good! The people working were very friendly, even first thing in the morning And it was a convenient stop next to the Metro and my hotel. If you just want a relaxing snack, there are two parks close by where you can watch birds on the canals or just take in the atmosphere. read more

Tge service was quick and friendly. We enjoyed the pastries. There was a very hectic time, as was Easter Sunday so the ambiance was a bit off, but definitely will try their pastries if I see any other Simon bakery while traveling Europe. read more

AMAZING! Words fail to describe how delicious this bakery is. A majority of staff was incredibly friendly (one man was kind of meh) and the woman serving us the first day was an angel without wings. It's small inside but very cute, the food is displayed in a lovely manner that makes your mouth water before you even order. The smell can only be described as heavenly, and the taste even more so. The sweets and sandwiches both were wonderful (especially if you enjoy cheese). However, the pièce de résistance in my opinion was the coffee. As an avid coffee enjoyer, I always order a plain coffee just to see what I'm working with. This place killed it! Bursting with flavor, and with a nice layer of foam on top, I struggled to pace myself because I just couldn't get enough. Do yourself a favor and go here. read more

The pastries were acceptable, but I'd never go out of my way for them. But the service was a level of rude I hadn't experienced before. I was sitting by the door, nowhere near the food and adjusted tightened my ponytail to literally be yelled at for being "unsanitary" meanwhile they aren't wearing gloves or hairnets. She was incredibly rude, and I was nowhere even close to the food. There was absolutely no reason she had to be so rude about it, a simple "please don't do that" would've been taken much better than being yelled at in such an aggressive way. read more

Beautiful selection, but sadly no where to really sit and enjoy. If you are having a picnic or taking breakfast to your hotel, definitely stop! read more

Yummy! This was one of the first places I went to with my awesome host Alli K. Just a terrific assortment of fresh breads, desserts and these pizza breads that were delicious...or as they say in Dutch. Lekker! Right next to Stedelijk Museum and the Van Gogh Museum. Drop by here for a quick snack. read more

I think of this place as Dunkin' Donuts Don't let the decor fool you the pastries are freakin awesome and prices are cheap read more

The sheer proximity of this place to my hotel meant that I came here multiple times. Had a chocolate croissant and a chocolate almond croissant. Both were really good and not terribly expensive. They have a pretty wide selection of yummies here. Based on the lines at the couple of different times I came in, this place seems pretty popular with the locals as well. I kind of wish I tried more items - I bought more items but ended up giving them away to coworkers. read more

Never ever do I recommend this place. Worst service, obnoxious staff, and wouldn't pay for anything.

Really delicious pastries, cakes and sandwiches. Serves coffee too! Has both sweet and savoury. Great staff, we had it on the way to the Van Gogh museum. (No food in the museum tho!) Staff are really friendly and they speak English. They also welcome credit cards. read more

Simon Meijssen Broodbakker - The bakery from the inside - Bakeries Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

A great spot to stop by after the museum of before heading to a very nice shopping spree. I decided to go for the Apple beignet that was really delicious but could have been a bit warmed up to suit entirely my taste. Also I like that hidden cherry in the middle of it that gives a little twist. Coffee and hot chocolate comes out of a commercial automatic machine so nothing fancy here. Price are average (around 3euros) And there were still choice just 30 minutes before their closing time. The only big no-no on this place is that they use their hands to pick up your pastry or bread or money... they don't use the pastry tong available. I thought it is not hygienic but in the same time I have seen it often in Amsterdam... is it like something normal over here?? read more

Almond croissant! Haven't stopped thinking about this delicious croissant I had for breakfast this morning. I took a few bites and realized I better get a picture of it before it was all gone. I was not expecting the custard almond paste in the middle. I went back this evening and they were sold out. Now I have to wait till they reopen in the morning. read more

The best almond croissant i ever tasted. You will taste the almonds but without the after taste. Got there really early in the morning near Vondelpark in Amsterdam. Really good price. The people there are very nice and understood that I'm a tourist help me with there selection. My only regret is I only got 4 pieces. Will return for the best almond croissant ever. Me and my daughter love these croissant. From all the countries weve been on this trip, 5 countries and 8 Cities. This the one pastry shes been asking for. read more

I can only speak for the almond croissant which is certainly one of the best I've had.

Wow, best Almond Croissant in Netherlands; there are a few locations I don't remember which ones I went to but they run out early so get them while they're still warm. read more

Stopped at the inconspicuous little Broodbakker Simon Meijssen (Nieuwe Vijzelstraat 5) for a quick breakfast of the most amazing ham and gouda croissants, and sat to eat them in the Weteringplantsoen, contemplating whether to walk back and get a few more. Now that I am writing this review, I really wish I had.... read more

This place is great for three reasons: 1. It's a chain bakery with a local feel. All types of breads, sandwiches to go, and treats. No-nonsense and quick, although a bit of a mess trying to order (no organized line or number system, just whoever stands by the glass display and captures the attention of the staff!). Try their foccacia, or their rosemary bread, or their tijgerbrood. 2. Just around the corner from the "most famous shopping street in Amsterdam", the PC Hooftstraat, it is a cheap alternative to the pricey lunch places on the PC. Their sandwiches are delicious - even their ossenworst is handmade. What is Ossenworst you may ask? It's a typical Dutch food that is minced meat, and delicious. Don't look at it, just eat it and you will be pleasantly surprised with it's flavor (warning! Not for vegetarians!). 3. They have the BEST sausizenbroodjes in Amsterdam. (sausage rolls in pastry, warmed in the oven). LEKKER! There are quite a few all around Amsterdam - there is even one further down the road on Van Baerlestraat. read more

After yesterday's good experience, I went in again for pastries and coffee. However, I was charged for something I didn't buy. I bought coffee on a vending machine that I had to pay first, then I went to the counter and bought two pastries. When I was paying I found three items were on my receipt. I told the lady I had paid for the coffee but she said coffee was not on this bill. I didn't ask her why there were 3 items charged (I should have), because I was not assertive and was hurry to leave. So lessons learned. As a tourist I have to be more alerted and be assertive when something doesn't seem right. read more

So this particular store is really close to my work. And the set up always intrigued me. But honestly the pastries, cakes and coffee was all average, if not below! Quite disappointed with the experience. I really expected it to be my stop before work for some coffee and goodies. Ah the search continues... read more

This little bakery was recommended to me by the hotel I was staying at, as it was just a short distance away. There was a lot of selection, and for someone who speaks zero Dutch, it was a little overwhelming to figure out what some items were. I ordered an almond croissant and it was perfect. Buttery, flaky layers with a great almond filling in addition to the almond slices on top. The interior is long with the counter on your left and a small bar on the right wall if you want to sit and eat versus taking your baked goods to go. I ate mine on the street in two seconds flat so I could go enjoy the rest of the city! read more

Really delicious croissants. We got almond, pain au chocolat, and a ham and cheese. All fantastic. On the way out we saw they had the rare almond-and-chocolate combo croissant, so now we have to go back to get that. One of the best bakeries I've been to in a long time. No line around 8:45 on a weekday morning. read more

When I lived in Lyon I had three guilty pleasures: chocolate éclairs, quiche Lorraine and almond croissants. Loved these Frence classics then, still love them now. Unfortunately it's a hassle to find good substitutes in Amsterdam, especially when it comes to almond croissants. I looked for them all over town and found the ultimate almond croissant at Simon Meijssen: a huge light crescent-pastry of perfectly airy dough filled with a heavy dose of almond paste. Wow, hello, gorgeous! How you're doing? I bet life is good with powder sugar and almond flakes on top. Really, this almond beauty almost made me sing a love song. How often do you meet the perfect match? It's not a big surprise that I found this dairy butter queen at Meijssen. This famous Amsterdam bakery (est. 1910) is known to deliver to the Dutch royal household. Apart from the superb almond croissants, you shouldn't miss the cheese ones straight out of the oven. Hangover food par excellence. read more

Perfect bakery, great location. Sweet people, and awesome pastries and coffee. Every morning while we stayed in Amsterdam this Spring I took a morning walk which inevitably lead me to the bakery to pick up warm ham and Dutch Gouda croissants and cappuccinos, and oh all right....a Citroen cake for later nibbling. I took the breakfast back to our hotel and we consumed it while listening to the birds in Vondelpark singing as we planned our day's activities. perfect! read more

this place is like the starbucks of bread in Amsterdam. there's one on almost every street corner. i'm waiting to see if 2 of them open up across the street from each other..haha. ok silliness aside i am a fan of this place. it's not the top of the line type of bakery but everything here is very good. they also allow me to come in with my two dogs which immediately makes me want to be a loyal customer :) they also have a small deli in the back where you can buy pre made or custom made sandwiches. oh and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Ham/cheese croissants as they should be. Simon Meijssen is THE baker of Amsterdam, there is no doubt about that. I like to eat the spelt bread for breakfast, but as a snack the spelt 'bolletjes' are just the ticket. The staff is helpful and quick and it is never a bother to aks for a specially made roll. read more
