Why we recommend it
Bakers & Roasters was started by a young New Zealander and a young Brazilian who, as the café tells it, met on a night out in West Hollywood and decided to open a restaurant together. The result is a brunch café that brings the relaxed, coffee-focused culture of New Zealand to Amsterdam, with Brazilian touches. There are now two branches in the city, and this one is on Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat in De Pijp.
The kitchen is open to view and serves breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes all day. Its fluffy pancakes have a following, and the menu also includes fresh fruit salads, Kiwi-style baked goods and cakes and baked goods from the in-house bakery. The house blend, called TAHI, is used for the coffee, which is always served as a double shot, and the bar also makes fresh juices, old-school milkshakes and brunch cocktails, including a spicy Bloody Mary, an Espresso Martini and a do-it-yourself mimosa. Wine and craft beer are available too.
The café suits leisurely weekend brunches with friends, couples, and travellers who want a hearty late breakfast before a day of sightseeing.
The De Pijp branch opens from 8.30am to 3pm on weekdays and until 4pm at weekends. It works mainly on a walk-in basis, and this branch does not take reservations, but you can join a virtual waitlist through the website rather than standing in line; the City Center branch on Kadijksplein takes a limited number of bookings. Weekend late mornings are the busiest time, so come early or on a weekday if you can. Both branches are closed on King's Day, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
The café is on a quiet street near the northern edge of De Pijp, a few minutes' walk from the Albert Cuyp Market and the Heineken Experience, and about ten minutes on foot from the Rijksmuseum. Trams stop on Ferdinand Bolstraat and Stadhouderskade, and the De Pijp metro station is close by. Afterwards, Sarphatipark and the market are good places to walk off a big brunch. If you are short of time, the City Center branch on Kadijksplein, near the Scheepvaartmuseum and NEMO, offers the same menu and a few bookable tables.
