De Kaaskamer

This shop was recommended by a Dutch couple we met in Paris. After wandering through the maze old Amsterdam, we found the store. The pungent smell hits you as you enter the quaint little shop. I was hypnotized by the selection of local cheeses– from young to aged and goat to cow, they thad it all. The people behind the counter were also more than willing to give you a sample of an unfamiliar varieties. De Kaaskamer’s cheese was way too gouda– I know, I know– terrible pun.

Cheese! (End of review)
Okay fine, I’ll expound a bit more…
Strolling around the canals, we could smell the delicious cheesy wafts from the corner of the street & gazing in the window, wheels & wheels of cheese are packing this shop, all the way to its ceiling
Closed on a Sunday, we actually postponed our departure & made a point to visit Monday before we left Amsterdam because we knew it would be *that* good
There was a line right as they opened but it worked out well since the line moved quickly yet gave the Mr & I enough time to decide what we wanted to order
Small wedge of Truffle-​Brie, along with 2 other harder strong cheeses came home with us… we advised the guy helping us that we preferred stronger cheeses from the local area & he reached behind him & selected 2 wheels
Cutting off huge samples for us to try, we were more than impressed & opted for everything he chose for us…1 was a creamy & strong sheep cheese & the other was a goat cheese with garlic & basil. Absolutely delicious!
Also indulged in 2 sandwiches on fresh brown baguette… everyone needs a now & later experience. We ate our cheese sandwiches in the car (an orange & while cheese but can’t say what they were) & enjoyed the cheese wedges once we got back home to Germany
A Must Stop! Note that they do accept credit cards but will charge a small percentage — cash is best

The cheese is obviously brilliant. Be sure to try the 5yr+ Gouda, soooo delicious!
In addition, the establishment also makes samiches to order. The meats and condiments are to die for, and the baguette was absolutely perfect!
Go go go!!! Hit up best friends CS, the get urself a samich.

You want to go here.
Seriously.
The smell alone will send you to lactose heaven.
Deep selection of charcuterie and cheeses, local and otherwise.
Women behind the counter could not have been nicer or more helpful.
Asked what my daughter might like & she sliced off a nice piece from a round. Daughter tasted, eyes rolled back. A winner!
These people know their stuff and have top goods.
Hit the boutique wine shop up the block and you are set.
Situated in one of the best browsing hoods in A’dam

De Kaaskamer is a boutique cheese shop. It is less touristy and more for the locals and those who plan to eat the cheese within the next 48 hours. Everything is fresh and vacuum sealed for freshness.
We stumbled in because I wanted to buy some cheese to bring back to the states. I ended up only with a mini wheel of gouda but we also got to sample a few cheeses. They have fresh bread and sandwiches to go. This is an excellent place to pick up some lunch (there are no tables but you can eat anywhere outside) or for food to put in your backpack during your bike ride.
Prices are on par with the quality. You will get what you pay for and you will be very happy. It’s amazing the selection they have and they are very friendly. Highly recommend for a top notch cheese shop experience in Amsterdam.

Fantastic little cheese shop in the Nine Streets neighborhood (De Negen Straatjes) that has a large selection of cheese along with meats, olives, and other assorted snacks. I stopped into several other cheese shops in Amsterdam and although De Kaaskamer doesn’t offer all the samples that some of the more commercial shops do, they make up for it in quality and variety. For those visiting Amsterdam, this is the perfect place to pick up some snacks to enjoy along a canal, back at your hotel, or back home-​wherever that may be!

Great cheese shop!!! Nice selection.

We discovered «De Kaaskamer» on a rainy afternoon while walking through the streets in Amsterdam. Give that both of us are cheese enthusiasts, we entered the store and were welcomed by the smell and aroma of a vast variety of cheeses and sausages. There were also olives and other snack-​like items that you can taste and get to go.
We tried the young and old Gouda, and also the truffle Gouda. All three were absolutely incredible. The young cheese is soft and mild in flavor. It melts on your mouth as you chew. The old Gouda however, is harder in texture and extremely flavorful/​savory. It will make you salivate. Amazing! The truffle Gouda was good too, but can be hit or miss if you are not a fan on truffles. It actually had saved pieces of black truffle. Exquisite!
Now for the sausages, we tried the truffle sausage and the pata negra– both out of control great. I’m saddened just thinking about this.
I suggest getting the cheeses and sausages pre-​cubed, stop and get some bread, and make a picnic by one of the canals. An experience you will not forget.
I really miss this place. Thank you De Kaaskamer for the amazing memory and hope to meet again (even if we order online).
This store has a website and they will ship internationally in vacuum-​sealed bags. Great for when your ‘supply’ runs out.

The best cheese shop — bar none — in Amsterdam. It’s in the great shopping area of the 9 little alleys. Every type of cheese you can imagine, plus a wonderful selection of Dutch cheeses. Also, they carry a complete selection of Charcuterie. You can get Jamon Iberico for half the price of the US. They have a small selection of wines. It all makes a great meal for the hotel room. It also was the last place for me to to visit before going to the airport. I can’t recommend highly enough.

An impressive selection of cheeses, olives, etc. It was a bit difficult to choose, given my lack of Dutch language skills. The staff offered to let me try anything, though, and tried to be more helpful than I would let them be!
I ended up with a couple of great cheeses and the prices seemed quite reasonable.
