It was our first time in the store so the staff were very friendly and helpful guiding us through the menu. They even gave us some samples of the different soups so we could decided which one we really wanted. We agreed to order the sweet potato and added some pumpkin seeds to it, delicious!! Very flavorful. You can order it as a snack like we did or as a complete meal since they have different sizes.

Fantastic spot for healthy salad and soup. We came here for lunch after spending the morning at the…read moreRijksmuseum (a short walk away). It's basically a takeaway spot rather than a sit down restaurant. They have a selection of salads and soups to choose from. Service was friendly and efficient. The soup and salad was filling, delicious and nutritious. There's essentially no seating inside but there is a bench outside and you can take the stools they have to eat outside. Check it out if you're craving or needing a healthy, feel good meal!

Total big fan of their soups, so much that I was like I am coming here too frequently. I realise I…read moreneed to step up my creative skills in the kitchen and try to learn how to make some of these awesome soups. Ideal place to visit on a cold and typical rainy day in the NL.

Best soup ever. No joke…read more This was featured as the ROTD, twice I think, and I simply had to check it out. After parking my bike outside the shop, I walked inside. It was raining hard and I was soaking wet. A couple of tables were occupied already. There was one guy working at the time and he was incredible friendly. He greeted me in Dutch and I only understood enough to say, "Inglés, por favor!" He was very nice and introduced each type of soup they had on that day. I decided to go with the sweet potato soup. It was so creamy with a hint of spiciness. He asked if I wanted anything else, and I opted for the bread with oxenwurst, based on his recommendation. It was so good. They even have free wifi! Just ask for the password. I found the wifi to be reliable and fast enough to check in via Yelp, send emails, etc. This place is actually spacious, considering its central location. There are a number of tables that are good for individual diners, small, and large groups. Also, they close at 7pm on some days and if you were to visit right before closing, you can ask for your soup to go. FYI, the sidewalk is somewhat narrow but still enough room to park your bike. They don't take American credit cards, except the Dutch ones. So bring some cash with you!

I ordered the Mackerel salad with several substitutions for grains and I never felt rushed or like I was being difficult. The location is comfortable and cozy inside. I've had MANY of the signature and seasonal SLA salads over my trips to the Netherlands and the mackerel is the BEST I've ever had. The portion of protein was generous and the wasabi watercress lemon dressing was incredible. I always miss SLA when I am back in America, but now it'll be much harder after having had this delicious salad!

Thought I had reviewed SLA Voorstraat already, but here goes…read more.. The food at SLA is great and the hummus baby and mummy approved. Drinks are a bit limited, but not as limited as the space. In an already small space I don't think I'd ever build a huge bar that takes up at leastt half of wat very little space you have. Such a shame because it is great food. Luckily they've now opened SLA Nachtegaalstraat which is a much nicer, friendlier space. I don't usually feel comfortable coming to SLA Voorstraat because the servers seem a bit standoff-ish and whenever I have the pram with me it's pretty impossible to maneuver; getting to the toilet in the back is hell... Overall the vibe here isn't very welcoming, in fact it's quite cold so I definitely recommend walking a bit further towards the much more friendly and open SLA Nachtegaalstraat. Nachtegaalstraat is a great home base for anyone.

First off: very fun selection of breads.

Also: polarbröd! What a delightful and delicious flatbread, just one word for it: yum! Now seriously, they have some interesting sandwiches here which are mostly going to be much hartier than any other sandwich you'll find around here. The Dutch still have not figured out the sandwich game! Shame. However at Broodnodig, with their Scandinavian vibe, they seem to be present and in the sandwich race. They're thinking outside the slice and offering meals piled on to a sandwich yet not in such portions that you feel intimidated and fear you'll never be able to finish it. However I did need help finishing my sweet potato and hummus get up last time while le husband had no problem finishing his barbecue chicken deal and the rest of my sandwich. Drinks are also sometimes quirky and comforting like orange or mint hot chocolate in winter and oj&buttermilk (as one drink!) in summer. I just really like coming here to be surprised by their menu, delighted by the amount of vegetarian options and cheered up by the sometimes random conversations by the staff that you can butt in on. We've discussed everything from "why does this sandwich not come on spelt anyway? It's much better" to "what is this song stuck in my head?". Answer to the latter, it was Smoke on the Water. So, you feel like a decent lunch? Hearty, delicious and not even really unhealthy? Or maybe the opposite: pastries galore? COFFEE!!!! ? Give Broodnodig a try, you're bound to love it!
