Amsterdam, the city of canals, tulips, and.. cheesecakes? You’d better believe it because this city is brimming with delicious bakeries serving everything from Basque cheesecake, to New York cheesecakes and loads of really innovative finds.
The Very Best Cheesecakes in Amsterdam
1. Chimney Cake Café
At Chimney Cake Café in Amsterdam, you’ll discover a tempting array of cheesecakes. The classic super velvety with a crumbly, buttery biscuit base that harmonizes effortlessly with its creamy filling. Other standouts include the strawberry cheesecake with plump berries and the chocolate cheesecake infused with cocoa. Here, they really know how to bake the classics.
📍Warmoesstraat 46, 1012 JE Amsterdam, Netherlands
2. Cheesy Cakes (Cheesecake Shop)
Cheesy Cakes packs one hell of a punch when it comes to flavours. The carrot cake cheesecake is super creamy and tastes like heaven. Wash it down with some zesty lemonade and you’ll be in dessert heaven. However, chocolate-lovers should really try the chocolate milk, which really steals the show.
📍Tweede Egelantiersdwarsstraat 18A, 1015 SC Amsterdam, Netherlands
3. Corner Bakery
Corner Bakery is one of the best bakeries in Amsterdam – there’s no doubt about that. Plus, it’s a haven for cheesecake enthusiasts. Indulge in the moreish New York cheesecake, made properly with traditional methods. There’s nothing quite like it. If you’re looking for something sweet then try the salted caramel variety of the zesty lemon option. Both are delicious. And of course, eveything look soooo beautiful!
📍Johannes Vermeerstraat 40, 1071 DS Amsterdam, Netherlands
4. Sea Salt & Chocolate
Sea Salt & Chocolate in Amsterdam is a fancy affair. You can buy whole cheesecakes if you’d like for special occasions and the strawberry one is definitely up there with the best. Check out the pecan tart cheesecake for something different – nutty, sweet, and super moreish.
📍Sint Willibrordusstraat 58H, 1073 VD Amsterdam, Netherlands
5. Patisserie Kuyt
Patisserie Kuyt is another old-school bakery, boasting a menu that is vast and varied, each with its own distinct allure. For those seeking something fruity, the raspberry ripple cheesecake is tart, sweet, and creamy. Check out the white chocolate cheesecake or the salted caramel cheesecake (or both) for something really indulgent.
📍Utrechtsestraat 109-111, 1017 VL Amsterdam, Netherlands
6. LUCY’S
Lucy’s is a slice of pure cheesecake heaven. The mini blueberry bliss is almost as pretty as it is delicious, with a tangy blueberry sauce swirled artfully through the velvety cream cheese. Plus, the red velvet revelation is super moist and addictive. But the winner would have to be the Snickers caramel cheesecake. Just look at that mouthwatering photo!
📍Rokin 8, 1012 KR Amsterdam, Netherlands
7. De Laatste Kruimel
De Laatste Kruimel (the last crumb) will definitely have you reaching for the last crumb. A definite must-try is the New York cheesecake – really rich and velvety. If you’re looking for a real hit of sugar then try the caramel version. The strawberry cheesecake is perfectly balanced and plus, those strawberries definitely count as a serving of healthy stuff, right?
📍Langebrugsteeg 4, 1012 GB Amsterdam, Netherlands
8. Patisserie Holtkamp
Patisserie Holtkamp is a really standout spot in Amsterdam. Everything in there is so tempting – you’ll feel like a kid in a candy shop. Try the hazelnut cheesecake, which is so nutty, rich, and sweet. Another fan favourite is the ‘raspberry riot’ which really is a riot. Your tastebuds will thank you for trying it.

9. De Drie Graefjes
Definitely check out the ‘red velvet delight’ at De Drie Graefjes and the ‘Raspberry white chocolate’ cheesecake.
