High-energy De Pijp brunch spot with generous Kiwi–Brazil touches, excellent eggs and pancakes, long waits, tight seating, and prices on the higher side for Amsterdam brunch.
Bakers & Roasters earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality featuring bold Kiwi–Brazil-inflected brunch plates and efficient, friendly service that moves diners quickly once seated. However, tight seating and cramped conditions combined with occasional consistency dips in execution prevent grade A territory—this is a destination brunch spot with real operational constraints that temper the experience.
Queues form outside this De Pijp hotspot where the room feels warm and bustling and plates land fast once you sit. Reviewers rave that service is efficient and friendly even at peak times, with one noting, "we joined the list and were eating in no time." Do expect a tight, lively space and higher-than-average prices. The cooking leans hearty brunch with Kiwi–Brazil accents rather than theatrics: think black beans, kumara, and bright salsas folded into classics. Dishes like the Navajo Eggs and the B&R Special deliver generous portions and balanced flavors, though a few diners found bread too thick or pancakes uneven. If you like bold brunch plates with global touches, this fits the bill. For families, this is largely kid-friendly thanks to pancakes and eggs, toast, and fruit bowls. The current menu backs that up with American Pancake Stacks (€12-14.5), granola (€13.5), and simple egg dishes, though the busy, cramped vibe and queues may test patience on weekends.
