Gebroeders Niemeijer

Stopped in on our way to the train station for a delicious and simple French breakfast. So good! The croissant was brilliant, the orange juice fresh pressed, and the café au lait so mouthwateringly good after a week of espresso

To all tourists who enter Amsterdam at the Amsterdam central station: go drink a coffee @ Gebroeders Niemeijer! It’s one of the nicest places to drink a coffee and eat something small during the day in this area. The interior is simple and fresh and they prepare all the bread, bread rolls, croissants, cakes themselves. It is a little expensive (welcome in Amsterdam.) but it’s worth it.
Located between tourist– and coffee shops this a perfect ‘normal’ place to hang out! ;-)

Habs nach langer Zeit mal wieder nach Amsterdam geschafft. Das Frühstück hier ist ein muss einfach nur lecker. Also unbedingt petit dejeune extra mit einer heißen schokolade probieren. Nach 12 Uhr gibt es außerdem noch die selcetion cheese & charcuterie super. Der Service ist voll nett. Und es gibt süße Törtchen und Macarons. Ein Himmelreich für jedes Leckermäulchen. Durch das kostenlose WLAN kann man nebenbei noch seinen Trip durch Amsterdam planen oder einfach Nachmittags bei einer schönen heißen Schokolade die Emails abrufen. Ein muss. Der Laden ist super.

A great find (thanks, Unilocal) when I was on a work day trip to Amsterdam. I stopped here on a rainy day, only to find this warm, cosy and friendly bakery. I checked my emails whilst enjoying an amazing latte with a rhubarb tart. Props to the owner for suggesting the tart when I was umming and aaahing. It was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend trying it (it doesn’t look all that special, but IT IS!)
I like the décor here, it’s simple but spacious (a rarity for cafes in Amsterdam which are normally beyond cosy). I like that you can see into the bakery downstairs and see what’s happening there. I will hunt this place out again to try out the proper meal offerings next time I’m in town.

I enjoy both the items on the menu (amazing salads, soups, and of course, the most delicious bread) AND the sweets you can buy to take home. My favorite so far has been these chocolate cookies with sea salt. Amazing!

Today my sister and I went to this place to have lunch. It was nice because it was an early lunch so the breakfast card was still available (until 12) but the lunch menu was available as well (starts at 11). We were lucky because it wasn’t very busy and the were a few good spots left in the lunchroom. I decided to go with a scone with crème fraiche and jam, and brioche with jam, together a cappuccino. It took the waitress a longgg while to take our order. She was totally ignoring us, since she helped other people and cleaned all the tables. I had to call her in the end, very annoying. She even sounded irritated when I did this. okayyy, not a good start.
The food and drinks arrived quickly though and were really good. I really like my scone! nomnom. I already decided not to get to irritated so my time here wasn’t ruined so I quite enjoyed the lunch. The place also looks nice and has a beautiful and high ceiling. When I went to the counter to pay and I asked if we could pay separately, this seemed to be a huge problem??? So I just paid and gave no tip. This kind of staff really dissapoints me. Ignoring and makes such problems out of nothing, why??? Don’t you like the fact that you work in such a lovely bakery??? Totally lame.
I did really like their stuff and the things I did not try also looked great so I will be back, for take-​away or maybe give the lunchroom another try. We will see how that goes…

One of the best bakeries in Central Amsterdam. Their breakfasts are expensive but worth it. Service okay but not terribly professional (better than average for Amsterdam, but that is not a very high bar to clear). Beautiful shop with a terrific early Art Deco ceiling.

A great breakfast or brunch place in an improbable location.
Well, the street is definitely NOT one of the charming ones in Amsterdam but, between a tired souvenir shop and a seedy casino place here is your bread, croissants and breakfast food!!!
They offer of course coffee and juice, ham, cheeses… all top quality and all organic.
Quite a big shop with quite some tables on 1 and half floor, one big lofty place.
Of course you can just stop by to buy their great bread!!! Yumm!!!
My breakfast menu came with several different seeds flavors, butter, jam, ham, cheeses an croissant plus coffee and orange juice. PERFECT!!! This is served until 12.00
They provide also a good menu for lunch, sandwiches and all you need with them.
Will stop by again for sure :)

No sé si volveré a desayunar a este sitio durante este viaje o si, en pro de la variedad, iré cambiando de escenario, pero me ha encantado este lugar a pesar de su nula decoración. Consta de una entreplanta inferior que es una cocina enorme, la planta principal donde están la barra (en la que puedes comprar sus productos para llevar) y unas cuantas mesas, y la entreplanta superior con el resto de mesas.
Pero toda esta disposición es completamente irrelevante una vez pruebas sus productos, porque podrían servírselos en un vertedero y te gustarían igualmente. Para desayunar tienen dos combos diferentes: el normal y el extra; el normal lleva un croissant francés (no confundir con eso a lo que acostumbramos llamar igual en la piel de toro), un bol de mantequilla y otro de mermelada, tres panecillos estupendos con semillas, un zumo de naranja natural y un café al gusto; el extra incluye un cuarto panecillo, una loncha de jamón de Parma (lo único que podría deslucir un poco) y dos de dos quesos diferentes, ¡sales comido para muchas horas!
Aparte de esto, el trato es muy correcto y una de las personas habla un castellano perfecto; no es para menos siendo española. Vamos, que son todo ventajas para el desayuno apropiado antes de un largo día de turismo.

Still my favorite breakfast bakery in amsterdam. Almost went there for breakfast every weekend fot the last months. Also if you are a little bit late for official breakfast, like we are very often, you can order a great big collection of cheese and sausages. And by the way: the hot chocolate here is undefeated. One of the best i ever drunk.

It always amazes me how many gems are to be found in tourist alley. This French oriented bakery is definitely one of them. I for one am totally hooked on their walnut-​fig bread but they have tons of other delicious pastries and bread. Take some of the gold home or to your hotel, go for lunch or go for breakfast… doesn’t matter: just go :-)

The french bakery (Ambachtelijke Franse Bakkerij) of the brothers (Gebr.) Niemeijer features a very nice selection of french bakery in a cosy setting, slightly off the beaten touristy tracks.
