I had a latte, bacon pancakes, and breakfast potatoes. All of it was excellent. The pancakes were a bit over-syruped for my taste but still very good. Bathrooms were very clean. Payment was easy. I'd return and I recommend Woodpecker.

No complaints about the food here. The Peck Special hits the spot after a bit of sightseeing. The…read morepoached eggs are particularly well formed. The bacon is crispy but tender. GOAT cheese is the cheese you need on a savory waffle.

What's better than a Sunday morning brunch?…read more The wife and I have been to our share of disappointing brunches. We either end up leaving hungry, paying too much for too little, or eating an uninspired breakfast that neglects the "-unch" suffix of brunch. When it comes to the brunch at Boentje, none of these things are true. We both ordered the waffle of the week, which came with a marinated pulled chicken and tomato sauce. Delicious. The little accompanying salad was a nice touch as well, especially with the almonds. That's not all though. The yogurt with granola was so so tasty, as well as the preserved lemon(?) paste(?)/spread(?) on the other waffle... Oh and there's cookie dough for some reason (it's pretty good too.) To drink, I had a flat white, and the wife a cappuccino with oat milk. Both were made very well. The wife also got a tea, and myself? a cidre from local establishment Joran (worth trying too!). Oh... Did I mention they also do all you can eat bread with jams and spreads? Yeah. Amazing. That spéculoos spread was to die for. We left stuffed--granted we ate our share of bread and jams. This is the best brunch I've had in a very long time!

I came here based on Yelp reviews as it was out of the way from my hotel. The hotel breakfast was…read morenot very good and my work colleague is a vegetarian. This place has many vegetarian options. This place serves fruit bowls, fresh-squeezed juices and fresh veggies as well as typical breakfast and lunch items. They specialize in poached eggs and peck-style waffles. I went with the charcoal pancakes which has strawberry sauce and lime cream cheese; I also had egg, OJ, and a latte. My colleague had avocado toast with spring mix. I was very pleased with the charcoal pancakes but the portion was quite small. It's a good thing that I ordered egg as well. My colleague loved the avocado toast. My cell signal was very spotty and they provided me with the WiFi password. The service was good, the menu was unique, the food was good and the name is awesome. Four stars!

Probably the best brunch I've had!!…read more Saw the great reviews on yelp which are 90% spot on with accuracy based on the reviews. Arrived around 1PM to a packed house.

Food was awesome, ordered my food with my new fave drink = Aperol Spritz

The servers (especially at the Comics and Travel corner) are very rude and we've waited at least 40 minutes to be served!!! Asked for a medium cooked beef but got a well done meat !!!
