So good I stopped by twice on a 3 day trip to the city. I stopped by on my first visit craving a big, hearty sandwich for a late lunch and thought this might be a good find. Happy to report I was very right. I grabbed one of the many outside seats, took a look at the menu that was entirely in Dutch and waited for the wonderful waitress to quickly translate nearly every item for me. I landed on the chicken club and it hit the spot. I arrived hungry but could still only manage to finish half. Chicken was grilled perfectly into thin slices, soft boiled egg was a new touch that I loved, avocado, lettuce and probably a few other things I am forgetting. Oh, and a handful of crisps on the side. On my next visit, it was my last night in Amsterdam and I still haven't tried the infamous fries. I stopped in around 9:30 for a late night snack and a hot ginger tea. The fries were the perfect fries! Thin, crispy, salty. I loved. I also can get behind the mayo thing they do here, even though I really am a ketchup loyalist. Anyway, lunch or dinner or late night snack, this is a good spot. You'll like the foot and you'll love sitting outside people watching, reading your book, whatever. read more

Friendly service, great food, comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Add to this, it is located very close to our hotel and convenient tram stops. We ate there three separate times on our week long vacation. read more

Service was great. Good food and nice place overall. Would recommend their sandwiches and their variety of beers.

Cafe kale We saw this cafe from the #24 tram and after looking it up on Yelp, is was in our sights for lunch. Very casual and quiet inside. Dutch restaurant custom us to walk in the door and take any available table. American custom is to wait to be greeted and seated. Boy did we look dumb but quickly caught on. We were handed menus and ordered some drinks. Nice beer selection and even better food selection. We started with an apperizer of toasted potalike bread and a few tapanades. It was delicious. That set the bar high for our lunch entrees. It was quiet at lunch which gave us the opportunity to chat with our server. She was wonderful as was all of the staff who we talked to includong the bartender. Everyone helps each other out to make the meal most enjoyable. They had a nice variety of meat and vegan plates. It seemed like we were on a quest to eat as much smoked salmon as possible. Actually, my daughter just prefers smoked salmon and avocado to any other food item. I prefer to try local foods that I cannot get in the states. I picked a winner and enjoyed it alot. The spicy chicken sandwich was served openfaced and had pickled veggies piled high on it. I could eat that everyday if it was a choice. My husband ordered a daily soup and he said it was great. Filled the need to warm up on a wet cold day with a bowl of lemongrass soup with chicken and a slight coconut curry flavor. We spent much of the afternoon here enjoying the food and ambiance. Very cozy and comfortable even at a table near the bar area. read more

Had my eye on this little traditional street cafe for a couple of years now, always passing it on the tram headed somewhere else. Now that I've paid a proper visit for a light lunch and a local beer on tap, I'm headed back, probably today, to do it up right. It's almost always full, and now I see why. Just move on if you've never read my reviews. I swoon over your garden variety traditional cafe with the small tables and chairs facing the street in front, their postage sized interiors that house mainly a bar. Adorned with flowers outside, a nice awning to protect the sun, an hour or more spent here is pure bliss. That they aren't overlooking a canal is about the only thing I could wish for, but the people watching at this one has few equals. The beer is cold and local, the food is freaking gorgeous and tasty and the service is impeccable. What more could I want? Well, more time here for starters. Believe I'll just have me some of that. read more

Great beer, food and service in a great neighborhood. Loved the burrata salad, the "funky veggie" salad and the fish and chips. Chicken club sandwich was really good too. Loved the local beer! read more

Loved the food that I ate here honestly, not sure it was but delicious regardless. Would go back.

Went to one place when we wanted to try Dutch food and out of luck got a huge line. It was 21:00+ and we wanted cozy warm place (rain outside). Cafe Kale provided what we needed: warm cozy place, nice staff, good beers and Dutch finger food. read more

In a city that competes for best chip. The fries at this place are reason enough to go! But the burgers are earth shattering! Ken is the Dutch Tom Jones behind the bar and even the clientele are beautiful!! read more

I've been here two times, and each time the service was prompt and friendly. The cafe has a super comfortable, casual atmosphere. It's a place where you would want to hang out. There are five beer taps, and four of them are good. They also have a good selection of bottled beers. The chicken salad is good, and I hope you like pistachios because this salad is smothered in them. Today I had a chicken saté plate with fries and a sweet and sour salad that I ordered to share as a lunch. The chicken was tender and moist (probably thigh meat). The side of tangy salad was the perfect counterpoint to the rich peanut sauce. I wouldn't change a thing about this spot. For the sun-lovers, there is great southern exposure and several tables in front. read more

Sorry I wasted $3 on water here. Not because wanted only water, but because I was unlucky enough to have the most rude waitress in Europe if not the planet. I didn't understand Dutch and I assume that set her off because once the water was slammed on my table she decided I didn't warrant a menu or any service at all, despite the fact that tables around me were being served, by her, left and right. After 30 minutes, I gave up, paid for the water and left. Find another place without the attitude. I did. Easily. read more

We came here for lunch in order to get out of the typical rainy days and what a great little find. Our server was so sweet and very attentive. We order the croquette as an appetizer. Our waitress warned us the food was hot but it was Extremely hot! She expected us to wait for this deliciousness? We dug right in!! The Salmon with light and perfect. We had such a great time, that we came back for dinner. There are no dinner menus as everything is written on their daily boards. Great food and very cozy. Will come back again. read more

I swear Amsterdam has some of the nicest people living/working in this city. Came here for some pub grub on our first night after the Heineken Experience. Totally, hit the spot and soaked up all that beer. Our waiter Dennis was super cool, informative, and even gave us some Dutch phrases to use on our stay. This is the kinda watering hole you have back home and they treat you like you've been coming there forever. Food was stoopid fresh as well! read more

A delightful little cafe tucked into downtown with an unhurried approach to service. I settled in for a solo dinner while on a business trip and was completely surprised by how tasty the Thai Beef Salad was! Fresh, perfect medium rare steak, and a great size. Would definitely suggest! read more

Well this is now my local bar. My LOCAL. That is a big deal - I've unofficially committed to coming to Cafe Kale for about 75% of my drinking needs. I might stray once in a while to the sexiness of Mystique or the crazy cool of Bar Moustache, but I'll always come home to Cafe Kale. I LOVE this place. The ambiance is spot on, service is genuniely friendly and the best you''ll get in any bar in Amsterdam. It's got good beer and nice food. What more could you ask for in a Local? I honestly never thought I'd find another local after I moved from Edinburgh... if we could just get some folk music sessions in here on Tuesday nights, it'd be perfect! ;) read more

So 'knus'! (Dutch word that I am incorporating into my vocabulary. I think it is more fitting than my other favorite 'gezellig'.) I like cafe Kale for its universality, and consistency. They serve food that is quite nice (though once I had the nachos, and something was off about them). Besides the menu they also have a changing dish. You can have some beers or some wine after work, or even indulge in beverages into the wee hours on a weekend. The wine choices are simple, but decent. Their Malbec is a good choice for the cooler nights ahead of us. The service is friendly, and prices are quite friendly too. read more

Over two years i have stopped here for lunch 6 times. (Yes, i know i have not always checked-in). The fact that I keep coming back should say a lot. The food quality and preparation is superb. Prices are reasonable. I have always found the service to be very good as well. I find the quality / prices to be a very good value. Now 4 years stopping here. Second visit on this trip and their free wifi is not working both visits. :( read more

Great prices, great good, great service. I recommend the calamari, guacamole with tortilla chips for starters. The salmon was cooked incredibly well soft and fresh. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a gloomy day. Great atmosphere and nice staff. Lunch was great, Caesar salad, meatballs and hummus. Slow on service though. Had to ask for water twice, and I was buying a bottle not asking for free water. (and it wasn't busy) So, this is a great place if you're not in a hurry, want to just relax a while and have a good casual meal. read more

The charcuterie plate was superb, the heaters outside made it possible for me to stay and drink more beer than I needed. :) The waiter was kind and pleasant. I truly enjoyed my evening at Cafe Kale. read more

Great salad and sandwich! Stumbled by and we liked the outdoor seating on a beautiful day. Service was awesome!

We were looking for our last meal in Amsterdam but didn't want to go far. The first couple nights we passed over this place because we thought they may only have kale. As expected, we were wrong. My friend got the pork tacos and I got the Italian burger with fries. Both of us couldn't finish our plates from being so full and left very satisfied. Fantastic fries as well! Like very crispy and still light inside. read more

I came here twice during my stay in Amsterdam due to the location of my hostel. It was good both time. I had croquettes, which were very good. The second time I came in while the were closing and they graciously made me an order of fries to take away with me. The price isn't cheap but it isn't expensive, seems standard for Amsterdam. read more

This is a really nice little neighbourhood cafe to have a coffee, drink, or a meal. I've been here a few times with a friend who lives in the neighbourhood and I've had really friendly service and a gezellig atmosphere. On a nice day you can sit outside and people watch, but on a rainy day it's just as nice to sit in a corner inside and relax. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back :) read more

Excellent food in an intimate public house. Delicious beer on tap. Great service. Conveniently located.

The food and service was exceptional. We ordered the chicken sate and stir-fry with steak. Both were easily the best meals we ate in Amsterdam and for a reasonable price. We arrived toward the end of their usual dinner time but they were able to still make our dinner. read more

Cute place with atmosphere. I really enjoyed the veggie burger and my husband enjoyed his hamburger. Service was very good too

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. The food great, the beer choice was great, the music was great and the service was great too! This place is comfy,not overpriced and there were plenty choices. My husband had a burger and I had a veggie burger. Simply and satisfying. Add a couple beers and a gin and tonic and we were happy! read more

Excellent service, great food and good selection of beer.

The food at Cafe Kale is excellent; a bit messy and hard to eat, but really well made. The service was really slow, but we weren't in too much of a rush, so this didn't matter too much. It was lovely to sit outside and watch everyone pass by! We'll definitely return. read more

I love this place, the "gastropub/cafe/drive bar" is perfect and I'm my experience very hard to pull off. They do it all well!

nice coffee, didn't drink coffee but beer tough :) do miss the snack mix: some cheese fingers, meat balls,...
