Bakeries Worth Cycling For in Amsterdam

These bakeries sit far enough from the centre that you won't stumble onto them on a canal walk — you have to actually decide to cycle there. Bakkerij Mas's Scandinavian-style kanelbullar in Watergraafsmeer and Millie Vanillie's cardamom buns near the Oostelijk Havengebied are both firmly in Oost, while De Bakkerswinkel and Ron Verboom anchor the smaller scene around Zuid.
