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.

Nice, but too successful… - Edit
They have great coffee and even greater food. The almond croissants are to die for and the pistachio cruffin is heavenly. I have been here twice, the first time I could sit down inside, but they have very limited seasting so the second time I had to drink my coffee and eat my pastry on the steps of someone’s house…
Read moreI’m not going here anymore as it has become wayyyyyy too popular. Loving the fact that a vegan place is so popular, but it’s not for me anymore..
Pros: Mouthwatering pastries, Pretty interior design
Cons: Steep prices, Has become way too popular

Delicious sweets - Edit
The staff was very friendly, the shop is cute, sadly we couldn't sit down there since it's crowded. But we definitely know why now! We took the baked goods and a matcha latte and coffee to go and sat down on a nearby bench in the sun by the water. We enjoyed it to the fullest, it's made with love and tasted so good. All of this - and all of it vegan... A dream come true
Read morePros: Matcha latte, Friendly staff, Delicious pastries

Decent food / beautiful space - Edit
The croissant is above average. Limited seating and the hype make it a grab-and-go place.

Very trendy place, nice pastry but too many people and not a good experience to enjoy the food - Edit
15 minutes (in a not so crazy hour) waiting in the cold to have a nice pastry and coffee/tea you'll have to eat in the cold again doesn't worth it. Pastries are good but not crazy good. The pistachio cruffing is very heavy, too much sugar, I wouldn't go back for it. There is only few seats and the prices are high.
Read moreSo, nice products, cute place but you can't enjoy your breakfast here, the experience doesn't worth it as it's quite expensive as well.
Pros: Vegan pastries are quite good
Cons: Too crowded, waiting line for a bakery...?!, No seats, Pricey

Can't fault the food, just wish I could afford it! - Edit
This place is a dream of mine. I used to wander through Paris looking through patisserie windows at the cakes and pastries and fantasise about them being vegan! The reality is that now I no longer have a high income these kind of places have to be a rare luxury for me. (Probably a good thing for my waistline too).
Read moreThey have a small seating area which annoyingly looks directly at a large table that is reserved for staff! Ridiculous. We only waited 10 mins to sit down and luckily got the corner space where all 4 of us could squeeze in, do not expect to be able to eat inside unless you have the patience of a martyr!
The pastries are without exception superb. Light, sweet but not sickeningly so, and scrumptious in texture.
I had my first ever cafe coffee with split pea milk which was very smooth and sexy.
I hope to return one day and find a fifty euro note on the floor as I approach and then feel able to enjoy the delights of this place without feeling too guilty or decadent!
Pros: An all vegan french style patisserie.!!!! , Perfect pastries
Cons: Very limited seating , a staff table sat empty!, Queues to get in!, Expensive.

Delicious treats - Edit
Amazing selection of pastries. Everything is fresh and the flavours are worth exploring. Better to go early during the day if you want to make sure your favourites are not sold out.

Lovely place - Edit
I loved this place, such delicious pastries and everything is plant-based! I got a pastry filled with apple and the cappuccino also tasted really good! Bare in mind that this place is pretty popular and it’s small so it can get quite crowded and you might have to wait in the queue.

The BEST - Edit
Hands down the best vegan pastries I have ever had. The pistachio cruffin was especially good, perfect mix of sweet and salty and with a perfectly flaky exterior

Wish they were in England! - Edit
The pastries were amazing, we had the cruffins, cinnamon twist, pain au choc & almond croissant. They were cooked to perfection, super crispy and really tasty. There is hardly any seating and it’s always so busy so you will have to wait for a long time to sit and eat. Which is such a shame. We had to eat them on a bench in the rain, which wasn’t ideal.
Read morePros: Taste, Branding
Cons: Long queue, Not enough seating

Nice bakery. Mostly To-Go - Edit
They opened a second place on the other side of the street for their savoury stuff. We sat down at the savoury place and picked something up at their sweet place afterwards. They do not have a lot of seats. So expect to either wait or eat outside. The pieces we had were tasty but nothing to special. Also the labeling is a little confusing since some labes says plantbased and others don’t. The savoury place only has (V) markings on some stuff but not on everything.
Read morePros: Not many bakery’s to begin with
Cons: Amsterdam prices, Confusing labeling, Not a lot of space. Crowded

⭐️-Bakery! - Edit
The baked goods from Saint-Jean were so good, we came back on another day of our short trip to Amsterdam. We went a bit over the top and got basically one of every kind. One was better than the other, but nothing could top the pistachio cruffin. Boyfriend says the coffee was also very good.
Read moreWe got a bit confused because there is a Saint-Jean Deli on the other side of the corner, which was not nearly as full as the bakery, but also has a good selection, mainly of savoury goods.

Maybe just not their day...? - Edit
Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed as we expected more due to the positive feedback. First we stood in a long queue, then when it was our turn, almost everything was out at 10.30 in the morning, service was uncoordinated and unfriendly. Unfortunately, even the food couldn't save the impression. Maybe just a bad day.

It was a roller coaster of emotions - Edit
When I read 'top restaurant' and 'bakery', I expect something like Lands and Monkeys, in Paris: huge variety. This was not the case and I was dissapointed.
Read moreI arrived at almost 09am in a tuesday. There was no line but also no seats. I took a regular croissant and a kind of cake to go (see pics), together with an americano coffee. The 3 itens costed 10.5 euros (card only).
I'm giving it 5 stars because the pastries I had were super well executed. The croissant is very 'puffy', 'crispy', like a croissant with regular butter would be. It's way better than the one I had in Lands and Monkeys. The cake looked pretty simple, but it was not haha. Also super delicious.
So, although not a huge range of options, the options they have are more than enough. But as some others had said here, I don't think it's worth waiting 30 min on a line...

Okay, yeah, unreal - Edit
Crazy delicious, absolutely perfect pastries. We had the pistachio cruffin and the pesto cheese “escargot” swirl. Best pastries I’ve ever had. Coffee was also completely perfect, very well balanced and not too strong. No technical faults. Very good price, feels very worth it.
Read moreOnly gripe is lack of seating but I think the gimmick here is that there is always a line. Consider it takeaway only.
Pros: Pastries! Huge selection , Coffee is perfect, Well priced
Cons: No seats!
