Honestly one of the best croissants and pain au chocolat! A bit of a walk (or bike), but definitely worth it. Also to have breakfast there is super nice.

Close to the house! A true gem in Amsterdam and well known by the locals, make sure to get early to avoid staying in line. Literally everything they sell is delicious. Their lemon pie is amazing and they have the best ' saucijzenbroodje' (sausage bread) in town, eat it warm! It's typical Dutch.

Close to the house! Bakery with delicious bread, I always order the 'Christoph Pavé' - it's with a seed/salty crust.

Coffee
My favourite coffee spots to drink coffee, I'm a big lover of coffee and pastries. I always order a cappuchino with banana bread or a cinnamon bun.
For the win: toasted banana bread at Ikaria or a cinnamon bun at Uncommon
Around the corner, best coffee and their apple pie is a must!
