Lanskroon is a traditional pastry bakery (banketbakkerij) with a tearoom at Singel 385, in the middle of the canal belt (grachtengordel). People have been baking in this building ever since it was built, and Lanskroon started here in 1958. Since October 2025, Bas and Sachiyo Mulderij have been running the show. The bakery is best known for its Koningsstroopwafel: a large stroopwafel with a thin, crispy wafer and a filling of honey or coffee caramel.
What makes Lanskroon special?
Lanskroon does not do mass production. Everything is made in their own bakery on the Singel, with time and care. Their website puts it like this: it is not about speed here, it is about quality. You can taste the difference as soon as you put a stroopwafel from here next to one from the supermarket.
Our office is on the Singel too, so for us Lanskroon really is a local shop. A bakery like this, where people have been baking for generations, makes the canal belt more than just beautiful facades.
Who is behind Lanskroon?
Bas and Sachiyo Mulderij have been the owners since October 2025. Bas is no newcomer: he has worked as a baker at Lanskroon for twenty years. They took over the business from the Dunselman family, an Amsterdam family of pastry bakers who have been in the trade since 1908 and ran Lanskroon from 1989. That way, the bakery stays in the hands of someone who knows it from the inside.
How is a Koningsstroopwafel made?
The day in the bakery starts early. At half past four, the bakers make the butter dough. At quarter past five, they cut out the wafers with a mould. That is how the ridges and the Lanskroon stamp end up in the dough. Before baking, they brush the wafers with evaporated milk (koffiemelk), for colour and shine.
Around seven o’clock the wafers go into the iron, and after that they are filled. There are two flavours: honey and coffee caramel. At nine o’clock the shop opens and the stroopwafels lie fresh in the display counter.
What else can you get there?
Lanskroon is more than a stroopwafel shop. There are fresh pastries every day, from cakes and croissants to saucijzenbroodjes (Dutch sausage rolls), plus whatever suits the season. A few products have been part of the range since 1958: besides the Koningsstroopwafel, the apple pie, the German stollen (feeststol) and, around New Year, the oliebollen (Dutch doughnut balls).
Ask Bas for his own recommendation and you will not have to wait long: the saucijzenbroodje. According to him it is the best in Amsterdam, and De Broodjes Testers on YouTube agree with him.
They also make their own granola, roasted in small batches in the bakery on the Singel. There are five flavours: plain, almond and raisin, goji and cranberry, mango and coconut, and a version that is vegan and low in gluten.
Can you sit down at Lanskroon?
Yes. Lanskroon has a small tearoom where you can have coffee, tea or hot chocolate with your pastry. A nice spot for a break during a walk along the canals, or to take someone who does not know Amsterdam well yet.
