Do not miss this if you're in AMS!!! - Edit
Easily some of the best pastries of my life. My fiance said the pistachio cruffin was the best pastry he's ever had (although be slightly warned, they do not skimp on the pistachio filling and it is a very rich pistachio butter, although incredibly delicious). The other cruffin we got was their seasonal salted caramel & caramelized macadamia cruffin and the filling was *chef's kiss*. Not to mention the cruffin exterior itself was wonderful.
Read moreMy other favorite was the orange hazelnut danish - I didn't think I would like it because I don't like orange/chocolate combos but the orange flavor was very light and the filling was very hazelnutty and the pastry was so crispy and ugh, I wish I lived next to this bakery.
The other two items we got, the brioches, were fine, but definitely not as good as the cruffins & the other danish.
Pros: Amazing pastries, Unique combinations
Cons: Long lines, Not much seating

Popular Pastries - Edit
I chose a cinnamon roll, which was quite bland. However, my partner's Hazelnut Pain au Chocolat was flavorful. We wanted to order drinks for here, but the few seats were taken, and they wouldn't allow us to wait since others were already waiting.

The absolute best - Edit
I came here 3 times in 5 days, the pastries are to die for (try the Cronut)!!! Not many places to sit inside but if you go early in the morning during the week you could probably snag a chair and table. If you’re looking for amazing pastries, vegan or not, go here!!! Also don’t miss their deli across the street for more savory options!
Read morePros: Delicious, Various plant based milk options, Good coffee

Amazing and worth it - Edit
Tried the pistachio cruffin and pain au chocolate. Absolutely incredible, recommend to anyone that is going to Amsterdam. Went on a Saturday so it was really busy and big queue outside, so be prepared to not have a table or to wait a bit.

Place to go for french pastry - Edit
They offer a wide selection of attractive and eye pleasing french pastries. Unluckily the place has a lot of hype and almost no seating, so I had to take everything away. I found the pastries good, but a bit too dry, maybe because I couldn't try them fresh. But if you are lucky to try it right in the café, I am sure they are perfect.

amazing dough but VERY sweet - Edit
I like the place, just be careful in what you pick. I’m not on a sugar-less diet or anything but I would some items a lot more if they used less sugar. The croissants (pecan-maple syrup and pistachio) are my favourite. Great coffee, pre-order-only yuzu thyme cake was too sweet imo, as were the cookies and the pistachio cruffin. Staff are very friendly and luckily I’ve almost never had to queue.

A must visit! - Edit
We went twice in our weekend visit, we had to queue both times at 10am on a Saturday and 11am on a Sunday but only for 15/20 minutes and the line moved quickly. There is very limited seating in the cafe so don’t expect to find a seat. There is a toilet at the back of the shop up the stairs which you can use. I got the croissant, pain au chocolates, cinnamon bun and both of their cruffins. All were amazing but I wouldn’t rave about the cinnamon bun as it was a little dense and dry.

Long queue was worth for the cronut! - Edit
Went around 11am on a Sunday morning, probably wasn’t the best idea since I waited for around 40 minutes. I think it was 100% worth the wait though.
Read moreBe careful there is close to no seats inside, and it’s always packed so don’t expect to sit in.
The coffee was amazing!! I usually take my lattes with sugar, but this one was too good to put sugar in it.
I took the Babka Chocolate & Hazelnut. It was okay but nothing extraordinary.
What was extraordinary is the cronuts. The seasonal cronut was caramel that day and let me tell you it was the best thing I’ve eaten in my entire life. I can’t even describe it. It melted in my mouth.
Update: I went again the next day. On a Monday morning the queue was less long. The croissant was okay, but what really stood out was the Orange Danish. I absolutely loveeeed it!!

Just amazing!! - Edit
Fell in love with this place🥹 It’s lovely to sit inside although the seating is limited. The chai latte was DIVINE and had tons of actual fresh spices inside. The baked goods were…I mean…just out of this world. The pistachio croissant was everything I could ever wish for😂 If there’s one thing I’d improve, it’s removing the sales table upstairs to allow for more seating. It’s so lovely that you can view the kitchen too through the glass door inside. Obsessed with this place, will be back next time I’m in AMS!!

Fancy - Edit
The baked goods look beautiful, more pretty and fancy than your typical coffeeshop. €4-something a pastry is a bit steep but the quality is high. The maple walnut croissant was delicious. (The babka was so-so.)

You Won‘t Believe It‘s Not Cheese - Edit
The savory pastries and other baked goods are not just a masterful display of baking, but how great vegan cheese and other dairy alternatives can be.
Read moreThe third time I‘ve been there I was so convinced I was eating cheese, that I instantly felt a wave of regret wash over me as I have introduced all my vegan friends to this bakery. I made a u-turn and had to ask the staff if everything was plant-based and they confirmed it. And to this day I feel gaslit, because their cheese is just that good.
The sweets are the flakiest and creamiest pastries you will encounter and they are too pretty to bite into. So much so that the devouring of these little tasty sculptures becomes a performance in itself.
And to top it all off, the coffee is fantastic. You can choose the beans for your espresso and really get something you like or pick from the batch brews.
Pros: Great Coffee, Exceptional Cheese Alternatives, Fast Service
Cons: Overfilled at the Weekends

I took the cruffin and a pain au chocolat with hazelnut and it was dreamy. I‘ve never eat something like the cruffin before in my entire life. I would really go there again when I vistit Amsterdam.

Not a place to sit, relax, and enjoy your pastries - Edit
Great that it is all plant-based. But it’s so poorly design for both the bakery and deli.
Read moreOnly 5 people are allowed into the bakery, and the deli only allows 2 parties on the wait list.
It’s like doing a drill once you are inside the bakery. I understand the part tolto order first then grab a seat (the only bench allows no more than 6 people). They pretty much pushing for takeaways. That might be their business model, but for a tourist like me who was tired of walking and needing a place to rest up and enjoy some coffee and a pastry is not great.
Pros: 100% Plantbased, Friendly staff
Cons: Need more seating , Need better space planning

Expected 10/10 - Edit
Amazing vegan pastries, flaky as you’d want them. Tiny place with only a couple of seats, packed with people. There’s a queue at any time during the day - but totally worth it.
Read moreHad the pistachio cruffin (4,90€) and took a cinnamon role (4,80€) to take away. My friends were also praising the coffee and its amazing taste. Would go back any time!!
Pros: Amazing taste and texture , Many options to try, Great coffee
Cons: Almost no seating inside, Tiny store

Best pastry ever - Edit
Wow! This was absolutely the best place we ate at in all of Amsterdam! There was soooo much option to choose from, and every single thing we tried was delicious! We came back a second time, and we also visited their deli across the road, which was also incredible and delicious.
Read moreWe tried their seasonal cruffin, which was pumpkin jam, super delicious.
We also tried the pain au chocolate, classic croissant, babka (INCREDIBLE), pistachio croissant… all of which were perfect.
Value for money I absolutely felt satisfied as everything was a great size and completely delicious.
We managed to get a seat on our second visit to sit and enjoy, but felt pressured by the huge queue of other guests wanting to sit in, so we ate fast and left quickly.
There could absolutely be more seating, and I think this would improve the overall experience. #Veganuary
Pros: Flakey pastry , Great range , Delicious coffee
Cons: Seating

There is an attempt at a Leeds version of this now in burley road. It’s called chunk, listed as cookie chunk on here.

Actually saint Jean has slowly reduced the seating over the last year.
