On a trip to Amsterdam, I decided to test Scandinavian Embassy and both of its two locations, starting with the bakery in europaplein.


The two locations are in Amsterdam zuid: Saphatipark and Europaplein: in the former, a more central location, you can sit but it has fewer items than the bakery in Europaplein. The bakery, on the contrary, barely has any places to sit.




First we got an almond bun, that was delicious!then, for the savory part, we got a mushroom & cheese danish, and apricot drinks!
Afterwards we decided to check out the cafe too, where I got a biskvi, served in a paper cup to-go 🙂


i had wanted to try their biskvi for a while, and I did at the cafe, slightly closer to the centre! so here it is


The classic cinnamon and cardamom bun were on the sweets menu as well, as the chocolate balls and an almond cake (toscakaka?)
We happened to pass by Arket later, which had special buns and tebirkes


Scandinavian Embassy also serves typical seasonal Swedish treats as semlor and lussekatter! Subscribe to see more
