Best cakes in Amsterdam. Best sweets in Amsterdam. I am a huge cake addict and I would not eat a bite if it's not worth it, because let's be honest, there are too many good cakes out there to eat bad cakes. A passionate baker myself Almond Bakery cakes are the ONLY cakes I would order when I have no time to bake myself. So there we are, the Napoleon with Pistachio and raspberries is a dream. If I could - I would eat it every day. Caramel Oreshki are perfection with the perfect amount of filling. It's everyone's favourite, Slavic origin or not. Kartoshka is great. The honey cake is delicious. Nothing is too buttery (I hate when cakes are filled with thick buttercream). The service is another story, I have always been able to get cakes delivered for "suddenly occuring" birthdays (it's every year but yet somehow it's always a surprise). The team was always super helpful and made every last minute request happen. The driver who delivers cakes is super polite and very nice. This is a top notch female founded and led business worth supporting if not just for the sake of more cakes in our Amsterdam lives.

Спробували горішки, трубочки, профітролі з чорницею, пельмені та вареники з картоплею та грибами. На жаль, начинка в пельменях була без солі, тож навіть досолювання води в процесі варки не зробило їх не прісними. Вареники більше нагадали пєрогі з польського магазину за виключенням того, що у варениках тісто краще. Профітролі були більше сметанковими та через це кислими, ніж чорничними, хоча виглядають звісно дуже мило. Трубочки хороші, але тіста забагато, як на мене. А от горішки — найсмачніші, що я куштувала за все життя, це просто рай! Мені загалом радили саме горішки в цьому закладі, але вирішила спробувати ще багато чого, на жаль, нічого не вразило, окрім тих самих горішків, тому буду брати надалі лише їх, мабуть

Owner acts very hypocritical, as far as I have seen. They promote the bakery as “Ukrainian owned”, but I've only seen the other party there. And she does so much to appeal to that auditory. Very disgraceful. And to do this in the Netherlands, at that. Workers looked overworked and underpayed. Which, I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Will never come here again, and I highly suggest you don't, too. One time I came, Medovik tasted in one way, the other time — absolutely differently. So much for “developed” recipes. Jesus, I'd get better Slavic pastry from actual Ukrainian bakeries

  • Zlata Dontsova

I am familiar with Almond Bakery for a few years now and I can say with certainty that it is one of the BEST places with desserts you can find in Amsterdam. It's inspired by Eastern European culture - you can find some of the most classic Eastern European cakes and sweets here. At the same time, it constantly develops and adds some novelty to its products. The quality is top-notch, throughout all these years. The staff is kind. Overall, it is a delicious, friendly, and warm place. Definitely recommend!

  • Sabina Bigvava

Ну что сказать! Я ни разу не попробовала самые вкусные орешки с варенной сгущенкой, ни разу не пробовала наполеона или еще какой всячины известной в этой чудной пекарни…но знаю точно одно. Человек, который проложил такой путь к тому, что сейчас имеет не можете не получить 5 звезд!!! Это только одно удовольствие читать их историю, и следить за их развитием! Очень советую! А как только получиться, я обязательно загляну и наконец попробую самый вкусные орешки в Амстердаме ❤️

  • Wouter Brunia

The owner is Ukrainian and she started baking in her home. Now almond bakery is open to visit in the Jordaan. Cakes and cookies are a must try. Not too sweet, but definitely a treat! High quality ingredients and freshness are keywords. So at the end of the day you may find many items sold out. Follow almond bakery on Instagram and reserve your cake of choice. Special decorations can be pre-ordered. Coffee is good and if you want to try a milk coffee go for Raf-lavender.

  • José Eduardo Kimura Reis

Always a pleasant surprise! I don’t know much about the traditional cuisine nor the names of everything, but I’m in love with every cake, eclair and other desserts you can find there! I really recommend it! Only downside is the small space.

  • Katsiaryna Pazniak

Desperately in love with these desserts!!! My super strong recommendation is Nutties-Oreshki (confusingly it does not contain nuts), syrki and choc-cherry cake. They also do fantastic cakes for events and celebrations. The only downside is that you might gain some weight but trust me it totally worth it!! Weight you can lose by going to TrainMore but memories about these amazing desserts will stay with you forever!

  • Katie L

Very disappointing and overpriced napoleon with chocolate and cherry. The layers are soggy and not crispy at all. Not fresh if you ask me. I ended up picking the cake apart to just eat the chocolate layers and cherries. The taste of chocolate was mediocre too. I felt like eating a dessert from a supermarket. I wouldn’t be so mad if this cake costs less than 4 euros, but it costs 7 euro. It’s just not worth it.

  • Lezra

Absolutely wonderful staff! As a delivery bike rider I made a delivery at the bakery on a hot day, as I walked in I was welcomed by the enchanting smell of the baked goods. I asked if I could buy something to share with my coworkers and they offered me a full bag of delicious pastries free of charge!! They tasted amazing too, I highly recommend you visit the almond bakery and it’s kind staff.

  • Margarita Kovalchuk

The BEST desserts in Amsterdam- an absolute MUST to visit this fantastic bakery!!! Honey cake, Napoleon- life changing experiences to try. You can take a slice to eat immediately or buy the entire cake for home. Everything you can see in this bakery is yummy, make sure you try all desserts. Staff and the Owner are amazing and friendly people, always the warmest and SWEETEST welcome!

  • Tina Reshetnyak

Loved the cakes and caramel nuts! Tastes like back home and feels like home. Online order worked perfectly, picked up on location, didn’t need to wait. The quality is great, service is efficient. All the respect to the owner Anna and the team! Extremely hard working and talented! Keep up the good work and all the success and luck in the world with the new sweet endeavors ❤️

  • Olga van der Vlist

Hidden gem in Amsterdam! Super delicious and beautiful cakes, eclairs and other pastries! I always go there to pick something up when we go to visit friends or family and it’s always a success! Everyone, kids and adults, absolutely love it! I specifically recommend the Honey cake, eclairs and caramel filled nuts! Super friendly stuff too!

  • Paul van den Berg

July 2022 This small bakery has some real fine pastry. I tried the honey cake. It's quite a piece you get. But it's also define. You taste the honey but it ain't to sweet. Will try the rest soon. They also serve coffee. And with the roads closed for certain traffic they probably get a lot new customers;-)

  • Anastasiia Malanicheva

Great delivery service and products which I tried were all tasty! In love with all deserts with condensed milk, and have already asked my husband to order me a napoleon cake for birthday in December Looking forward to it! Latest gem I discovered was Pavlova desert (raspberry-pistachio) ❤️ …

  • Mevlüt Uzun

A tiny cute shop baking desserts and cakes of almond, as it states in the name. One of the best desserts I have ever had. There is no seating available. They also make coffee. You can grab their cookies and some coffee, and happily eat them while you are walking around the canals.

  • I

very delicious deserts. I liked Pistachio Napoleon and Bento cakes in particular. highly recommend!

  • Mariа

Kyiv cake wasn’t tasty and was nothing like an original one. Maybe other cakes taste better though. I guess this place is popular not because of quality/taste of their cakes, but because there is no competition in Amsterdam for this style of Eastern European cakes.

  • Olga Morozova

That’s the best bakery ever! Every piece of cake is just a masterpiece. But the best thing there is “oreshki”. I seriously have my doubts about how legal it is to sell them because they are extremely addictive )) Long story short: try it, you won’t be disappointed

  • Muhammad Shahbaz

I send messages 3 time to ask if you can make me a birthday cake , could not get any response, I send messages on different time en days to make sure they receive it but still no response, total unprofessional way , not customer friendly at all

Super petite pâtisserie au cœur d’Amsterdam! Il faut y faire un tour pour goûter les pâtisseries russes et ukrainiennes proposées! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le medovik, le napoleon et les sirnik. Il faut tout tester!

  • Rūta Merkytė

My friend gifted me a box of nutties for my birthday, and oh boy, they taste absolutely divine! I've been on the hunt for the finest bakery in Amsterdam, and I believe I've finally discovered the perfect spot to visit.

  • Jenny D

Cake (~6e/slice) is pretty good, not too sweet and many layers of texture. My friend and I come back for them all the time. It’s a small space with a single bench outside. Have to be careful I don’t visit too often…!

  • Ania Sz.

I haven’t been to the bakery yet, but I used to order the cakes with home delivery. Every time everything was perfect! Napoleon, medovnik and nut shaped cookies. It made our celebrations spectacular.

  • Саша Cаша

Все очень вкусно - орешки и птичье молоко - это любовь) но мне тоже не ответили на сообщение в Инстограм.. это странно, тогда зачем его вообще вести?.. при этом очень приятное обслуживание в кафе

  • Ada Chen

The best cake I ever had in amsterdam. All of the cake tastes very rich and not too sweet. My favorite is the pistachio-raspberry. Ofc the honey cake is very popular in my family

  • Oleksii Orovetskyi

Amazing bakery! The deserts are not overwhelmingly sweet and taste just right. I highly recommend the honey cake ("medovik") and nuts ("oreshki", not actually made with nuts).

  • Ekaterina Khramova

Simple the best cakes. Inspired by easter-European traditional cakes like honey-cake (Medovik) and Napoleon, with additions of modern touch. Love! No whipped cream …

  • Valeriya K

Десерты супер, но ребята, обслуживание занимает целую вечность. В субботу можно же два сотрудника за кассу ставить. ОЧЕНЬ медленно. И очередь на всю улицу из-за этого.

  • Артур Пустынин

Тортики и профитроли хороши. За вкус и качество 5/5. Трубочки со сгущенкой лежат открытые без упаковки возле кассы, поэтому не купил, хотя очень хотелось.
