Dae bakery cafe

Dae Bakery Cafe on Huidenstraat offers a cozy spot to pause in Amsterdam’s Jordaan neighbourhood, blending a relaxed café vibe with a focus on well-crafted drinks and fresh pastries. It’s the kind of place that attracts locals looking for a quiet coffee break or a casual lunch in an intimate setting.

The interior is charming yet unpretentious, leaning into warm, snug corners that make it inviting especially during colder months. Visitors can expect a calm atmosphere, where friendly staff contribute to a welcoming experience rather than a rushed one. It’s a café suited for slowing down with a book or catching up quietly with a friend.

The menu leans on thoughtfully made drinks like Matcha Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and classic coffee options including Latte Macchiato. Pastry selections like banana pie and the pistachio cake offer substantial treats — the apple cake portion notably comes generous. For something more savory, grilled sandwiches with mozzarella and Parma ham or avocado toasts are popular picks, making this a good stop for a light lunch as well as your caffeine fix.

Dae Bakery also appeals to those who enjoy a touch of seasonal comfort – the Pumpkin Spice Latte is a nod to autumnal flavors, while fresh fruit sandwiches add a bright, summery contrast when available. Expect some variation in availability, as seasonal or limited items may run out during busier hours.

While prices tend to be a little higher than average for neighborhood cafés, the combination of quality offerings and attentive service tends to balance that out. Locals and travelers alike appreciate the atmosphere for its balance of casual and thoughtfully curated – a nice retreat amid the bustling city streets just moments from the Anne Frank House area.

Best times to visit are mid-morning or early afternoon when natural light fills the space and the café is lively but not crowded, ideal for enjoying a slow coffee or a quiet lunch away from tourist pathways. While there isn’t an outdoor seating option, the inviting indoors make up for it, especially on chillier days.
