What matters to us most on an early morning is a warm croissant and fresh slice of bread from Bakkerij Mater. Tucked away on the bustling Ceintuurbaan, Bakkerij Mater is a welcome haven in the middle of a busy street. After testing every new bakery in Amsterdam, we’re inclined to say that Mater is the end all be all. High praise, yes, but well-deserved.
