    Meringue cocktail

    Box Sociaal is such a gem! The food was top quality and the drinks were so well crafted. We sat at the bar and got to watch Trudy and Maddie in action, you can tell they truly love what they do. Every cocktail and coffee was made with such care and delicacy. We had the Benny and Jets breakfast sandwich, a matcha latte, American coffee, and even finished with a unique meringue-style cocktail for dessert. One thing to note: they are strict with reservations, so if you miss your time you might not get a table even if you wait. We got lucky snagging seats at the bar, and honestly it made the experience even more special.

    Bar area

    Lovely spot for brunch! The service was excellent, everyone was very friendly and accommodating to us Americans. The menu is diverse and has a lot of fun options. We got an iced latte, cappuccino and the specialty juice (watermelon, pineapple, lime, and mint) to drink and the Sweet Hot Chick and Eggs Yo Way! To eat. We made a 9am reservation for a Sunday but it was totally unnecessary as we were one of two groups there. Started filling up a bit around 10am, but still plenty of tables available. The neighborhood is also very cute and charming. Will definitely come back next time we're in Amsterdam!

    Good evening!! I just returned home from an amazing trip to Amsterdam. Box Sociaal was recommended by my hotel, Mr Jordaan. Short walk over the canal. Discount was provided when I showed my room key. Everything from the daily juice, to the Shaak Shula, to my dessert, a Stroopwaffle Martini, out out of this world. I only wish I had more time to try more of the menu. My husband was delighted with his breakfast sandwich. Staff was friendly, service was superb

    Fun crowd, extremely friendly staff, and delicious well prepared food. Their food has flavor!

    E verything tasted so fresh. I had the chicken tacos with kimchi slaw and my husband had the krater egg sandwich. It was all so yummy. The staff was awesome and the iced coffees hit the spot. Highly recommend. Get a reservation bc this spot fills up quick!

    Very creative menu, ranging from pancakes to spicy chicken and kimchi - and none of it is "basic". The breakfast sandwich was very good, although the ketchup was too sweet in my opinion. Kind of overpowered the flavor of the meat. Service was excellent. There were plenty of servers and supporting bussers. The setting is a little tight, but I suppose not by European standards. Very bright, decorated well. If you're in the area looking for brunch, definitely worth a visit.

    You really cannot go wrong with this place! They have a fair selection to choose from whether you're feeling sweet or savory. The staff is also amazing and so nice! They all had such upbeat energy. The place is clean and open with tables upstairs as well. They are typically busy during peak brunch hours. I would also highly recommend also getting their juice of the day. It is so fresh and well balanced.

    Shak Attack.

    Great food and tasty drinks. Really lovely atmosphere. We sat inside, but tables on the canal looked nice also!

    I found this on the Louis Vuitton Amsterdam guide. It's pretty far from central I took the metro to get here and then walked a bit such a pretty walk. They are very busy it's a popular place but they got the food out quickly. I loved the options they have. They have house made kombucha you can see the jars of it at the bar lol. The only thing was the bread wasn't crispy and I wish it had been they were too busy I felt bad asking to toast it more. Lovely place great hospitality and food. Highly recommend. Get a reservation!

    Super friendly staffs (owner = Australian, staff = mix of different countries)!! Great environment for breakfast, brunch and grabbing a drink or bite. We were very happy with the dishes we ordered: Shack attack, egg Benedict with Salmon and the 3 drinks: Latte, matcha latte and hot chocolate~

    The Sweet Hot Chick

    Talk about hitting the random yelp jackpot - this place was great! I had the Sweet Hot Chick, and it was delicious! Conveniently located by the 14 Tram's Artis stop.

    Peach Crumble

    Great breakfast options and cozy ambiance. There are so many more menu unique items and drinks I would want to try if I go back like the prawn bagel and biscoff espresso martini.

He said water, so I assumed it was it was tinted from the lighting. When I took a sip it was a flavored water. I asked if it was gluten-free and he was very rude in his response. Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.

    Flying Dutchmen is a really cool spot with great cocktails…read more I visited at 4 PM, shortly after opening, and got a table easily. It's a small space and can fill up quickly. The space is really cool, with some neat lit-up signs behind the bar and antique paintings on the ceiling. I tried a few cocktails and they were all tasty. These included the Flying Dutchmen -- their signature cocktail -- and the Umami Margarita. I was a bit hesitant about the Dutchmen because it was with gin and orange, but I liked it a lot. The margarita was unusual with some mushroom dust on the rim. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

Carlota who answered the doorbell, was able to accommodate us at the bar (our preferred seating anyway). She took our coats, placed them in the coat closet up front and led us inside. Once seated, we were given gorgeous ruby red complimentary aperitif (hibiscus, honey, ginger). The drink menu is interesting, based on the concept of growing up, with more basic tastes to start and more mature complex tastes later on in life. (The drinks are more complex the later in the menu). I ordered the Awake at Last, and my husband ordered the Ruby Stone. Mine was sweet and coffee flavored and his was more tart and sour cherry flavored. When I tried his drink, I immediately felt nostalgic because it reminded me of umeboshi (pickled plum in Japanese food), so we ended up trading drinks. Both were great for supping. Sitting at the bar was fun, watching the bartender at his work. He was silent, focused, skilled, professional. So glad we checked it out! I didn't post pictures of the entrance or inside because I'll leave it to you to discover! (The fun of a speakeasy).

    Epic bar. Social, open until 3am, and overall a fun time. Unique cocktails that were quite tasty…read morewith various flavors and interesting serving cups. Good for small groups or just at the bar.

We ordered beef bitterballen to try this traditional Dutch comfort food. Meanwhile, my husband ordered their signature cocktail called "Beurre Noisette" old fashioned and I ordered a Dutch Negroni (Negronis are my favorite drink to order wherever I go). Both were delicious! Meanwhile, we chatted with Iago the bartender, and Lily the manager. We learned more about Amsterdam and why so many people come here from elsewhere in Europe to work. Iago was super fun to talk to. He'd lived in Amsterdam for 7 years and It was only his first week here at NJoy. He was skilled as a bartender, being able to mix fabulous cocktails and also hold an interesting conversation at the same time. We'd go back just to be able to talk with him again, such a friendly bartender, very attentive, and professional. The beef bitterballen was so hot we had to wait a bit to try it. It comes with savory mustard that is better than any mustard I've tried before. Not sure why. The bitterballen were crispy fried with beef ragú inside. I'm not a fan myself but am glad I tried it. NJoy is elegant and romantic and cozy. There's another bar downstairs with a disco ball above. It would be fantastic to host a celebration event here. Their cocktails are memorable! Highly recommend!
