(12-08-2007) De Bakkerswinkel has a few locations throughout Amsterdam, but until now I had never been here. The one I went to today is rather well hidden in the Warmoesstraat close to the Red Light district. You would walk just past it if you didn’t know it was there, but that would be a pity, […]
