This does deserve 4-5 stars, but it loses 4 stars because it's been completely ruined by T*kT*k videos and instagramable stories, omg. The place does nothing to discourage this or allow "local" residence priorty to eat here, ever again.
The crowds of people waiting to go in, is stain on the historic Nine-streets area. What a disaster.
Please stop hyping this place beyond what it is. You'll be waiting in line, across the canal, over the bridge for more than an hour to eat a sandwich and some tea?
The service, food and vibe here is great, we USED to enjoy it as local Amsterdam residences living here. But now, we cannot even consider it as a place to go, thanks to other social media sites.
I even had a "first date" here over a year ago. I actually walked in, no line and we got a table. Imagine that.
There are other places to eat in Amsterdam that are as good, if not better. Don't buy into the hype. read more
