Fort Negen

Omg,the staff were so friendly and really took good care of the customers. Sometimes when I go to places, I come across employees who are superficial and not genuinely friendly, but Fort Negen was completely different. Their miso cookie, kaas croissant, and of course their almond chocolate croissant are the best!

We tried the pain au chocolat and the hibiscus compote pastry. Both were delicious, and the hibiscus one was a unique and pleasant surprise. Luckily, the queue wasn’t very long when we visited, but I wouldn’t say it’s worth waiting in a long line for. Still, a nice spot to try if you’re nearby.

A very popular local one! Also you can see a long queue in the shop. They offer many options with bread, pastries, ice cream and others. I wanna have a cruffin but they only serve them on weekends. Instead I took a choco almond croissant and kombucha. The croissant is very different from the ones in France, here they are more crispy, and idk if it’s common the one I bought had two layers. The filling is rich, I can taste so many chocolate. I saw a lot of locals they bought 4 or 5 bags, so I think the bread should be good too! Recommend to come and have a try!

4.5/5 The almond croissant has a high butter content, making it crispy and flaky, but the pastry itself is rather flat and the air pockets aren’t very noticeable. There’s a generous amount of almond cream, and it’s not too sweet. I really like it. The cruffin, on the other hand, wasn’t as impressive. The sugar on the outside was a bit too sweet and overpowered the buttery aroma of the pastry, and it wasn’t as crispy as I expected. The filling had more fruit jam than cream.

Came here and tried the bread pudding which was unfortunately a poor choice. It was just a block of bland stodge! It really had no flavour at all, including the icing on top, which is a shame because I loveee a bread pudding. Maybe a poor pick from our part, hence why I’ve only ducted one star.. All the other pastries looked delightful, service was efficient and the place has a real buzz to it. I’ll be back, just not for the bread pudding 🥲

So.good.! Everything was fabulous. Farmer sourdough loaf was huge and hearty and delicious, I can enjoy it straight up even without butter/oil/any condiments. Perfectly crispy crust, the right amount of chew and slight tang in flavor — truly the loaf of my dream 🥹. Mexican fiesta hartige croissant was (savory, duh) interesting, like eating a burrito in the form of a croissant..? I enjoyed it and I appreciate the creativity 🌯🇲🇽 Cruffin (apple, lemon, jasmine) was a showcase of skills and balance in flavor, covered in sugar but I (surprisingly) didn’t hate it. Jasmine cream was fragrant and light and creamy, in contrast to the tangy lemon compote, and all of this happenings inside a flakey buttery shell. I couldn’t taste any apple but I also might have devoured the whole thing a tad too quickly.. No seatings inside, just a couple of benches on the sidewalk. There’s a line but it moves quickly. Open kitchen which you’d get a sneak peek of what goes behind the scenes. Staff clearly work hard here. As pricey as you’d expect for Amsterdam standard, but for the quality I’ll return in a heartbeat.

Fort Negen has amazing soft serve, served in half a croissant! It’s novel, and it’s delicious. I also bought a loaf of the raisin and nut bread, which was dense and wonderful with a slight sourdough tang to counteract the sweetness of the raisins. Amazing. I made the time to come here during a six hour layover in Amsterdam and it was so worth it.

Very good bakery with tasty croissants, they also sell bread. The most tasty one was almond-chocolate croissant, the best one i tried so far, i went today to buy one more, but it wasn’t available, and took chocolate one which was also fresh and crispy Cheese croissant and classic ones is also very fresh and tasty, very recommended
