Move over stroopwafels — there’s a new obsession taking over Amsterdam, and it’s coated in pistachio dust. From vivid green gelato to oozy croissants, the city is quietly becoming a paradise for nut-obsessed foodies. Here are the five places serving pistachio in its most irresistible forms.
Saint-Jean Bakery
Saint-Jean Bakery is a cosy neighbourhood hideout where specialty coffee meets design flair — think curated art, a DJ-approved playlist and freshly baked goods straight from the oven. Their must-order? The signature pistachio cruffin: a rolled vegan croissant-muffin hybrid filled with silky house-made pistachio paste. 100% plant-based, 100% unforgettable.
📍Location: Lindengracht 158, 1015 KK Amsterdam
Sweet Tree
Sweet Tree is a tiny Amsterdam chocolate boutique with a serious dedication to craftsmanship and natural ingredients. Their standout creation is the pistachio chocolate bar — a glossy slab of rich, creamy chocolate studded with roasted pistachios for the perfect salty-sweet crunch. It’s simple, elegant and dangerously addictive.
📍Location: Paleisstraat 13, 1012 RB Amsterdam
Salvo Basement
Salvo Basement is the moodier, sugar-loving sibling of the beloved Salvo Bakehouse — same no-shortcuts philosophy, just with darker lighting and a louder sweet tooth. Everything is baked fresh daily with proper butter, time and care — and yes, they really do sell out. Don’t leave without the legendary Pistachio Bomba: a round croissant bursting with silky pistachio mousseline and topped with even more nutty goodness. If you’re lucky, you’ll also spot their pistachio custard soft rolls behind the counter — they vanish fast.
📍Location: Keizersgracht 703h, 1017 DW Amsterdam
Lourens
Lourens is a cosy Amsterdam-Centrum gem loved by locals and instantly adored by passers-by. Warm, buttery aromas spill onto the street, luring you straight to their pastry counter. Go for the pistachio croissant — flaky, generous and filled just enough to make you consider ordering a second.
📍Location: Oude Leliestraat 15, 1015 BJ Amsterdam
Le Bordel Pâtisserie
Le Bordel brings a slice of Italy to Amsterdam with a menu devoted to two icons of temptation: cannoli and tiramisu. It’s part patisserie, part passion project — blending old-world recipes with a dash of modern flair. Go straight for the pistachio cannoli: crisp shell, velvety green filling, pure Sicilian seduction.
