In my experience the Dutchiest Dutch opt for krentenbollen and other unfamiliar bready forms, but the bagel is still largely the purview of American expats. The location on Tweede Lauriersstraat looks primed to become another long line on the sidewalk, like those other unwieldy shops in the Negen Straatjes.
That's a great tip! I'm spending 4 days there and was trying to figure out how I want to kick things off, so that's super helpful. Sounds more fun than a walking tour too!

Sounds like I will likely not try the bagels in Amsterdam 😂 but I will certainly check out your other recs! Thanks for sharing :)
Enjoy! And I would also add to try to do a canal cruise early on. It gives you an excellent baseline for city history and architecture.
