Well worth waiting in line - Edit
Oh my god. Oh my god. I had 4 pastries and each was more delicious and flaky and decadent than the last. The mango cruffin and lemon curd filled pastries were my personal favorites. It’s out of the way and we had to wait 15 mins in line, but there’s no limit on what you can buy and they were bringing out fresh pastries all the time. Absolutely incredible

Nice pastry - Edit
There weren't that many options for pastry (3) although it was still early afternoon. I was hoping for more options.
Read moreA handfull of seating places, very cramped together, so that was not really comfortable (and not accessible - stairs going up).
Very friendly. Bright place.

Worth the hype - Edit
There was a terribly long line out the door, even though I visited on a rainy day. Luckily, it moved quite quickly. They kept on bringing out new pastries so everything was still in stock when I visited (around 12:30 pm). I’ve had vegan pastries like croissants, pain-au-chocolates and danishes before so I opted for the Pear Hazelnut Bostok to-go. I warmed it up and ate it the next day and it still tasted really good. Them already double-baking it keeps it from becoming dry. Though it’s definitely pricey and therefore only an occasional treat, I will definitely be visiting again (that salted pistachio soft serve is still high up on my list).
Read moreOh and; please be respectful to the staff and don’t take pictures of them if they ask you not to. As someone who works in the service industry, it is really quite annoying and makes us uncomfortable. Thank you🫶
Pros: Delicious and unique pastries, Kind staff that really care about the experience.
Cons: Busy

Busy, busy - Edit
Visited this place and the line was out the door! Once inside, I had a hard time deciding what to try. I eventually settled on the Bostok Raspberry Pistachio and a pea latte, which I had never had before. It was quite good.

Delicious - Edit
Absolutely delicious pastries! I got the pistachio cruffin and the pain au chocolat. They were flaky, buttery and super filling. I loved that everything was vegan but you’d never know, their marketing was subtle.
Read moreNote: Eat the cruffin dining in and not as takeout. There aren’t many places to sit, so we had to eat it while walking and it had x10 more pistachio cream inside than I was expecting and it got absolutely everywhere 😂
There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly. I didn’t realize until after but they’ve got 2 locations across the street from each other, one with more sweet treat and the other with more savoury.

To die for oh my GOD - Edit
I had quite possibly the best meal of my life here, if a pastry counts as a meal. I was sooo blown away by this place - so chic and stylish and not in your face about being vegan. My non vegan (and skeptical) mother was also absolutely blown away. Have my funeral here!!

Less good than before, but still nice - Edit
This used to be my favourite bakery in Amsterdam, but it has become less good and too busy. They have a toilet and a small seating area, but it’s become even smaller due to the removal of seatings around the central table.
Read moreTheir cruffins have a rich filling and sugary coating. I tried the ones with pistachio, raspberry and blueberry: all of them were good. However, Zola’s Bakery in the UK has even better cruffins.
The bostocks with pear/hazelnut and apple, almond croissant and pastry with pistachio custard were also tasty. However, I liked the raspberry/pistachio/almond bostock less. This was also the case with their double-baked pecan/maple croissant.
Items I didn’t like were blueberry cake (too firm, too sweet and slightly bitter) and matcha cookie (bland).

The pistachio cruffins are to die for! I have tried a few more pastries (one with a limited flavour) and all were amazing.

Great cafe - Edit
Really good coffee, lots of delicious looking pastries (apple turnover is yummy) but a very popular place with not much seating. I think there are multiple in the same area though and some are bigger.

A must stop in Amsterdam - Edit
The hype is 100% deserved. The line out the door was a good sign. Some of the best pastries we’ve ever had, vegan or not. My favorite of the four kinds we tried was the croissant with chocolate and hazelnut. Amazingly flaky, and wonderful flavor and texture. Near religious experience. So good. And great coffee to go with it. Do not leave the city without giving SJ a try.
