It seemed like they were trying to go for a Michelin star experience for an afternoon tea, however, all of the flavors were a miss. I did like the fact that you could change up your tea halfway through the service. The waiters were really nice and came to our table when we needed them. The inside of the restaurant is very clean open and big. I did not feel squished in. It was a unique experience, but I don't think I will be back due to the price and the quality of the food that you receive not matching.

This was odd since we saw about 6 empty tables. Now, that would have been fine had we known we had to make reservations beforehand. The concierge recommended the cafe last night but forgot to relay this information. We passed by about 25 minutes later and those tables were still empty!! See the accompanying photo. Perhaps we'll have to spend that credit on drinks and dessert.

It was busier for sure but maybe close to 50%. We opted to sit outside as the wind was down and the sun still up. No problem they said, grab a table we'll be right there. We were on a timeline as we had a booking at the Heineken Experience, but had plenty of time. Ten minutes sitting outside, with no service our timeline began to get tight. We finally went inside and took a couple of high top spots at the window. Action! Order taken were all good. Fifteen minutes later still no food the place is now maybe 25%. I say we can only wait another five or we won't have time to eat and get to our prepaid no refund event. Five minutes pass still nothing, I'm like let's go. We get up to leave and our server meets us at the door. I explain the situation and say we have to go, sorry. She's very apologetic, but that doesn't put food in our stomach prior to a beer tour. I'm not happy but always very polite. We walk out and down the street. I hear her say to the kitchen staff "they just left!" She appears at the kitchen exit door and says your food is ready are you sure you don't want to eat it. We go back to our seats wolf down our food, which is as good as it was a couple of days earlier, other than K's tortilla in the huevos rancheros was so hard you couldn't cut it with a knife. Our server was the same as a couple of days prior, but no communication at all was frustrating. A simple "the kitchen is backed up, it's going to be 25 minutes!" Most of the poor reviews are about being ignored and wait times. We just experienced that and it's a shame.

I found this place before my visit to Amsterdam and saved as a place I wanted to visit. Upon…read morearrival, the other three people were leaving, so I had the joint to myself. I grabbed a seat in the back and enjoyed the 80s music playing. I ordered scrambled eggs, which comes with a small salad and bread. I also wanted potatoes but they only had french fries, which seems to be a huge favorite in Amsterdam. The food took quite awhile, which I thought was going to be a bad sign. When the food came out I was almost scared to tried the eggs because I thought they were going to be bad. Also, I'm used to my toast coming separately, however, once I had a spoonful, I was happy with it. In addition, I was happy the toast was under and I could enjoy the thick bread which tasted like an everything bagel. After my meal, I struck up a nice conversation with the woman behind the counter/server. Overall, I had a great time here and would recommend to anyone else visiting Amsterdam!

I finally had to ask someone if we could order some cappuccinos and tea. It was just the two of us and we were seated at the window, as opposed to at a table or outside. With that said, the food was very tasty. I had the Croque Madame. i will say that once we did order our food, it came out fairly fast. Getting the bill also took a really long time. It was close to closing time. And maybe they were trying to wrap things up. again, i had to ask for the bill. Again, i'm not sure if this was their way of saying, "No rush" or it was neglect. It felt like neglect. Since I'm not sure, i will not take any stars away. just keep this in mind. if i had waited as long at home, I would have given Ted's three stars because of the lack of attentiveness. It was if we weren't there.

Extra bonus was the free WiFi considering I don't have cell service in Amsterdam.
