Rise Bakery — Restaurant in Amsterdam

During our recent week-long visit to Amsterdam, my wife and I strove to try someplace different each day for breakfast, using a variety of recommendation resources to zero in on something walkable from our hotel in Amsterdam—Oost.

We were well-rewarded in our choice of Rise Bakery, despite having a scant handful of positive reviews on this site and not many more on others (we've learned historically that can be dicey since often such handfuls of initial reviews can be from friends and family).

Once there, I perused their large and beautiful selection of freshly-baked breads and pastries and selected a cinnamon roll and my wife their anise- or licorice-tinged "wheel". Both were delicious. For beverages, I enjoyed a hot chocolate and my wife a cappuccino.

During our long visit there, we also got to both experience and observe their delightful, warm, candid, and friendly proprietors—he mostly working the kitchen and she mostly the counter.

Rise Bakery can be a bit of a challenge to actually find in reality. They are located on Albert Cuypstraat in De Pijp. While that sounds straightforward enough, Albert Cuypstraat is actually a neighborhood-long street stall market six days a week. Consequently, on those six days, Rise Bakery and every other business on Albert Cuypstraat is "buried" behind those stalls, well out of sight.

So, to find Rise, you either need to walk the very narrow and "business end" gauntlet behind all of the stalls on the south side of the street or you need to walk the market and look for Rise's chevron flag that marks their location behind the stalls.

If you're looking for a fresh warm breakfast bite along with a warm beverage and great hospitality, Rise Bakery is well worth the...

When the viral sensation of a circle stuffed croissant took over social media, my quest for this culinary delight led me to a charming bakery tucked away in Amsterdam. This place is a quintessential hidden gem, with an interior that radiates warmth and coziness, further enhanced by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked goods. The staff's warmth and kindness contribute significantly to the welcoming atmosphere, making every customer feel right at home.

My visit was driven by the allure of the famed croissant, and Ooh boi Ooh boi. Despite transporting them all the way to the university, they maintained their perfect, crunchy crust, a testament to their quality. The filling was extraordinarily flavorful, as if each bite contained a drop of heavenly nectar. It was an experience that left me both completely satisfied and eagerly anticipating my next visit.

This bakery is more than just a place to satisfy a trend-induced craving – it's a culinary experience that everyone should try at least once. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and the opportunity to relish in their delightful...

Cafe/bakery on the side of the market. Limited seats available - around a dozen or so seats indoors and another 6 or so outside. We went on a saturday before 12 and it was busy but not too busy since we barely had to queue but all seats were nearly taken.

ordered a cold matcha latte, a dulce de leche cruffin, and an apple cinnamon bun(?).

matcha latte: normal. not sweet. small cup. cruffin: it was ok. a bit messy to eat - it might've been better to order takeout and have it at home, and also heating would've made it a lot better. cinnamon bun: My partner said it was ok. I had a bite but don't remember how it was, so I'm assuming it wasn't the best I've had nor the worst

Prices were average, I think it came up to 15-16€ for the 2 drinks...
