tasty but simple

i wouldnt hype it up as much as others here do. i got

Pain Au Chocolat & Hazelnut 4,90€
Cruffin Double Baked Almond Pistachio & Blueberry 5,90€

the pain au chocolat was pretty hard and tasted burned on the edges, but the middle parts were soft. dipped in cold chocolate it was good. of course, the hazelnut paste inside was incredibly delicious.

the cruffin is for sure overhyped. the filling wasnt as creamy as shown in pictures, but rather a paste with some blueberries mixed in. the pastry is cut in half and this one was very sparely filled, the rest was just the kind of burned dough.

i think id visit again, but try something else

Incredible

Absolutly must-visit spot in Amsterdam, falled in love with them. 🥹 I've never had better cronuts and croissant across Europe. I wouldn't have problem to pay two times higher amount for each piece of pastry. 😂😂

Pros: Taste, Taste, Taste

Cons: Too delicious 🥹

I missed great pastries

It is hard as a vegan to find GOOD pastries. This place really hits the spot. The pastries are soft and flakey... Super recommended! A must in Amsterdam.

Best pastry I’ve eaten. Ever.

The pistachio cruffin was mind blowing. Reorganising our stay to come here every day.

Pros: Taste, Price

Cons: Few seats

riquísimo

vinimos a esta panadería porque sabíamos que todo era vegano y nos ha encantado. pedimos el cruasán de pistacho y el cruasán caramelizado. la masa es perfecta.

Super lecker!

Wer auf süßes Gebäck steht, für den ist es absolut das richtige. Leider findet man viel zu selten vegane Optionen. Hier gibt es Croissants, Zimtschnecken aller Art, Cronuts und und und. Absolut zu empfehlen.

WOW!!! The pistachio cruffin is incredible! 🤩🤩🤩

Be very mindful where you choose to eat this, as it is *bursting* with pistachio goodness, it’s quite messy!

New definition of cruffins

I have been here now a couple of times already. Why? Because of the pistachio cruffins of course! Do yourself a favor: come here, order a pistachio cruffin and give your taste buds a treat!

Pros: Pistachio cruffins

SO GOOD

I am always wanting a pain du chocolat, but I can never find a vegan one! They had that and so many awesome choices! I wish I could’ve gotten them all

Saint-Jean Pastries!!

Small but cute interior with a few seats, lots of bright natural light. A ton of fully-vegan options. We had the chocolate and the pistachio/almond croissant and both were incredible. The almond was especially yummy and moist. Solid pick for a coffee, tea, or vegan pastry!!! 🥐

Best vegan bakery !

Honestly, the pan au chocolate with Hazelnut, and the pistachio croissant were insane! The only thing I would say was I wish they had more seating area, but other than that the treats were the best I’ve ever had

Delicious pastries

Small vegan bakery with sweet pastries. Everything looked very delicious and the pastries I tried were tasty. However, all available options were (very) sweet and I would personally love few hearthy items, too. The coffee was also very good.

One of the best cafés I’ve ever visited

Not only was the cheese and leek toast and the artichoke focaccia completely delicious but the coffee was perfectly made too. The white chocolate pistachio bar is maybe the best thing I’ve ever eaten and I will keep thinking about it. Also had the fantastic matcha cookie, the babka and the pistachio cream cruffin which my husband said was his favourite of all time. Too hungry to take pics of it all🥲

It's not as good as it used to be

Unfortunately Saint-Jain is not the same anymore. They put less and less cream in the buns, used frozen berries instead of fresh ones, pastries are overbaked. And they no longer allow you to wait for a table to be free to sit inside. Stuff become more rude and unfriendly… it's a shame.

Cons: Overpriced , Small amout of cream

Sad to see the decline

We used to love this bakery — the place is truly unique and the assortment was stunning. Expensive, but worth it. Sadly, not anymore.

They changed the recipes: their signature pastries now have almost no cream, the berries are soggy (probably frozen). The cream itself has become very heavy, more like sweetened whipped butter than the light, delicate filling it used to be. Very disappointing when you pay premium prices.

Also, they no longer allow waiting for a table inside. The queue is still huge, but it feels like they are trying to get rid of their loyal customers.

Pros: everything is vegan, Sweet

Cons: Quality dropped, Less friendly service

Delightful

We were lucky to have had the experience of enjoying a variety of their pastries... everything was so good, freshly baked. Our absolute favourite was the pistachio filled cruffins.... heaven on earth!

Pros: All vegan , Friendly staff

Cons: Limited seating

Very nice & popular bakery!

We went there on a Friday afternoon. It was quite crowded, but the line moved pretty quickly! I had a latte with pistachio milk (first time trying this kind of milk — really nice!), a Hoisin Bun, and a matcha cookie. The Hoisin Bun was delicious, though a bit heavy for my taste. The matcha cookie was heavenly good! My boyfriend had a croissant and really loved it as well. Definitely a great spot to check out when you're in Amsterdam! 🥐

Love it

There can be a bit of a queue but goes fast and the pastries are delicious! Highly recommend the croffin with vanilla custard and coconut caramel YUM! It is a bit difficult to eat without a fork and knife but worth it. Matcha is also good here.
