Amsterdam Breakfast Food Tour with Stroopwafel Workshop

Explore Amsterdam on a breakfast food tour with a stroopwafel making workshop and visits to a bakery, famous daily market, and neighborhood café.

Getting started

Arrive at the meeting point on Ferdinand Bolstraat 76H about 15 minutes early and check in with the guide, who carries a purple Eating Europe bag. After a brief introduction to the small group of up to 8 guests, you begin walking through areas that have limited accessibility, so flat shoes and a good appetite are recommended from the start.

What to expect

Bakery visit

The morning begins at a local bakery that supports individuals with intellectual disabilities, where you are introduced to classic Dutch breakfast flavors.

Features

• Here you sample Saucijzenbroodjes, the Dutch sausage roll, served alongside Gouda cheese and Dutch-style ham so you can taste how locals combine savory bites to start the day.
• Coffee, tea, and water are available, giving you a chance to sip something warm while you learn about the bakery’s mission and the role of these products in everyday Dutch life.

Netherlands' most famous daily market

You continue to the Netherlands' most famous daily market, a bustling place known for long-standing vendors and high demand for stall space.

Features

• At this market, you walk past stalls with a 20-year wait list, observing how traders display produce and snacks while your guide points out typical Dutch ingredients.
• This stop includes time to see more Gouda cheese up close and understand why its rich, creamy texture is so closely associated with Dutch food culture.

Neighborhood café

The route leads into a cozy neighborhood café, where the focus shifts to assembling and tasting your own breakfast plate.

Features

• At this café, you create a savory pancake you assemble yourself, layering toppings to suit your preferences and seeing how Dutch savory pancakes differ from sweet versions.
• Coffee, tea, and water are again provided, allowing you to sit, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere of a local spot that residents might visit on a regular morning.

Stroopwafel making workshop

The experience concludes with a hands-on stroopwafel making workshop, giving you the chance to work directly with this well-known Dutch treat.

Features

• During this interactive session, you participate in a workshop to make your own stroopwafel, learning how the thin waffles and syrup filling come together.
• This workshop is part of the structured Breakfast Food Tour with Stroopwafel Workshop, so your tasting of stroopwafel sits alongside earlier samples of Saucijzenbroodjes, Gouda cheese, Dutch-style ham, savory pancakes, and the included coffee, tea, and water.
