Baking Lab Amsterdam

Baking Lab Amsterdam is a circular bakery, cafe, and educational space on the Linnaeusstraat in Amsterdam Oost. Founded in 2017, it brings together traditional sourdough craft, fermentation science, and a mission to reduce food waste. The kitchen transforms surplus ingredients into new products: old bread becomes the base for fresh loaves, juice pulp enriches cakes, and stale croissants find a second purpose as pudding.

The cafe serves a fully vegetarian menu with vegan options, from stone oven toasties with organic goat cheese to vegan bowls and freshly squeezed juice. Beyond the counter, Baking Lab runs workshops and educational programmes in partnership with the University of Amsterdam and Artis Micropia, drawing around 100,000 visitors each year.
