Went to Noordenmarkt last time, I would recommend it too. And Kaaskamer is also a great spot. They also make good saladdressings. Like the japanese one. Really nice if you like putting edame and wakame in your green salads!

Cheese should smell Nicole, I agree:)

@Meike, I was not able to go to the tarte place :( Will try it next time! The Volkorenbrood place is great though. Went there ones.

Or maybe a beautiful decorated peace of cake: you should try out ‘De taart van mijn Tante’ at Maria Heineken Plein and near to that there is a nice shop for bread it is called: ‘Bakken met passie’, Albert Cuypstraat 51 53.

Also you have the great small catering shops called ‘Stampotje’, they offer the dutch mashed potatoes, I am not sure if you can save it for a long time, but it is definitely dutch! (this is also in a side street of the albert cuyp markt, Eerste van der Helstraat)

You were right about the cheese store at the 9 streets, that is a good one.

And I just want to tell you about Hartog: At this bakery there is always a queue of people that want to get their fresh wholewheat bread! http://www.volkorenbrood.nl/

I hope you have a good time here in Amsterdam!

A friend of mine brought back cheese from there that was so pungent I could smell it from down the hallway of her apartment! Was really good, too :)
