Like the originals, just way better!

The cruffins (especially the Pistacchio) are insane, don’t forget to order one !!
All the croissants were also the best ones I had so far, even in comparison to when I wasn’t vegan.
Best bakery ever (:

Cruffin was kind of salty

I had the pistachio cruffin and was surprised that it tasted salty.
Wasn't that bad, but I expected a more sweet pastry.

Amazing

I read the reviews about the queues but I was lucky enough to arrive when there wasn’t one. Everything here is plant based and it all looks amazing. I had and almond latte and a yuzu and lemon cruffin and it was incredible. Really a must visit place to treat yourself.

Pros: Everything is plant based

Cons: Choosing is difficult -as it all looks incredible

Delicious beyond belief

Latte machiato and pistachio cruffin 👌👌👌👌👌👌 I also tried the rhubarb cruffin and the taste is not quite there but it was OK. The fact that there is a fully plantbased place like this in the canal belt, is mind blowing. I’d been walking around Jordaan without knowing St Jean was even there. Now I keep returning!

I would love to visit this place even more if it had a better location with seating, because of the Nordermarkt market being just outside and the place being small, I had to walk a long way around the canals until I found an empty patch of anything where I could sit down to drink my coffee and eat my cruffin.

There’s also a place called Margo’s close by, so when you’re done with your veggie groceries from Nordermarkt, you have several coffee options around the corner!

Pros: Everything is vegan, Finally something more artisan

Cons: Nowhere to sit,

Mindblowing

There's a reason the lines outside of Saint-Jean are always so long. The croissants, cruffins, and kouign amann are out of this world. There's no way you'd be able to tell they're vegan. Love that there are so many pistachio options.

I'm not the biggest fan of the double-baked croissants or the brioche, but that's just a matter of preference.

Is it pricy? Yes, but you get so much value for your money here.

Pros: Amazingly tasty pastries

Get there early

No wonder there’s a line for this place. We managed to get one of the last pastries and it was so so delicious. Recommend the cruffins. Good coffee too.

Pros: Good coffee, Delicious

Is this heaven?

The pain au chocolat might have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Sooooo good! Also loved that I could chose from several plant based milk options to go with my matcha.

Favorite spot ever.

This is the place I tell everyone to go to as soon as they mention visiting Amsterdam. The cue that forms in front of it is just a hint at how amazing this spot is. The pastries are flaky and dreamy and the interior design is swoon-worthy. If I had to choose a favorite, it might be the pistachio cruffin. But everything is amazing, so no worries if there are different choices on your day.

The Cruffins are special 🤩

They look fancy and taste even better than they look. We had a chocolate-passion fruit and an almond cruffin and they were so so so good! Definitely a must visit when you’re in Amsterdam!

Go here now

The exact addition Amsterdam needed. Damn good food, fairly cheap in my opinion for the quality of food. Highly recommend trying a cruffin. Drinks were only so-so (matcha and hot chocolate)

Great stuff, finally vegan pastries that are not sugary

Love the place, you will feel like a hip person even if you aren't haha. You kind of forget that you are a vegan here because you're eating pastry things from a long time ago and all the vegan options in this category have fallen flat.

Best pastries i’ve ever had!

The cruffins are absolutely insane and so are the cookies! Everything is super fresh. There’s isn’t much room for sitting but you can obviously take it to go
