    The Dutchman and a pint.
    Zachary J.

    I tried The Dutchman and it did not disappoint! Had a great pint as well and enjoyed the low key ambiance. Definitely stop by to say hi and enjoy a quick bite.

    Shakshuka and eggs Benedict

    The food was amazing and the shakshuka with the buttery bread was perfect. My friend had the eggs Benedict which she also loved! Will definitely come back again for brunch again. There was a bit of wait so recommend coming here earlier if you can!

    Fantastic meal and setting. I had an amazing dirty chai latte and The Dutchman. Everything was so good. Our servers were very attentive and took great care of us while we were here for ADE.

    Such amazing food and authentic hot chocolate! The view outside is also very worthwhile. I highly recommend and will be back next time I visit!

    Veggie Breakfast - prettier than it tastes.

    I'm a big Yelp girl so I came here based on the pictures and rave reviews. Can confirm that this spot was mid, at best. Let's get into it. The wait - boy was there a WAIT. We sat outside for at least an hour and a half but I was committed to the vibes, and filled my empty stomach with hope to pass the time. Service - it was alright. Not terrible, not the friendliest. Other tables seemed to have better experiences, so take with that what you will. The food & drinks - - Green Tea: Tasteless and seemingly caffeine free. Would not recommend this green-tinted hot water. - Veggie Breakfast: Aesthetically, she was a vibe. Taste-wise, nothing to write home about. The cheese was a little over cooked and the sausage was not it. The rest of the plate (eggs/potatoes/bread/mushrooms) were fine, but it doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to prep those. I had originally wanted to order a dish with avocado - they ran out. My friend wanted to order Shakshouka - they ran out. I appreciate when a restaurant lets us know that they are out of something before we have to play Russian Roulette with the menu, but call me crazy. All in all, we had so much great food in Amsterdam and this one was basic and missed the mark. Would have much rather spent my time waiting and eating elsewhere. 7/9/23 Update 1) Confirming that me and the 3 other people (4 total) that dined there did in fact wait 1.5 hours due to our group size when we were originally quoted 30 minutes. 2) Their lack of avocado was not communicated to us - they just said "sorry, no more avocado" vs. specifying that it was not available due to environmental reasons. 3) Confirming that they did run out of shakshouka, or at least that is what was communicated to us. If they didn't want to serve it to us for another reason, that is an entirely different matter. 4) For customers that have traveled a very long way, we would have hoped for a little more courtesy vs. having fingers pointed at us for the average (at best) experience. We sincerely hope that others have a better experience than ours.

    greenwoods in amsterdam!! this place was really really sapid! i got the full english breakfast which was quite a large serving size and everything tasted yummy. this place also had some bomb signature drinks that i would go back again for!

    Soya latte and fruit smoothie.

    Cute little restaurant on a canal. Small and intimate, I liked the ambiance. There is seating outside but got there upon opening to avoid standing in line, chose inside seating because it was a bit chilly outside. Greeted with very friendly staff. Good service. Ordered the vegetarian breakfast, requested it to be made vegan. Also got a fruit smoothie and soy latte, both delicious. The food was very good except I thought the tofu scramble was underwhelming. It tasted of tumeric but not much else. Tasted better with some brown sauce and the roasted tomato. Everything else was very yummy and I would definitely recommend this restaurant!!

    This little gem was well worth the wait. Cozy vibe but never quiet this place stays busy and the food is why. Their Amsterdam eggs Benedict was everything. All locally farmed ingredients the freshness was delicious. My scrambled eggs fluffy yummy with the pancakes layered with bacon strips in between which is just the way I would've done myself. Don't lose your patience with the wait, unless it's freezing outside cause we thought about quitting twice. So glad we didn't.

    Wonderful location overlooking the canal. Small and quaint. Waited in queue for about 15minutes, it gets pretty busy. I got the blueberry pancakes wand a side of eggs which were great.

    Chai and coffee
    Rachel I.

    Amazing cozy vibes to escape the cold. We got the bubble and squeak, breakfast quesadilla (not pictured) and the shakshuka. All were packed with so much flavor. Great value for your money.

    Eggs Benedict with benefits.

    Really good full English Breakfast. Massive, actually. Gets busy but service is spot on and fast. Fantastic for the morning after.

    Eggs Royale

    Food looks pretty and tastes amazing!! Good indoor and outdoor space, there may be a line when you arrive but get your name on the list and you will be happy you waited! Great portions and super unique and tasty food!

    The Veggie
    Lauren F.

    This was the perfect place to meet for brunch on a Friday morning. The comment on the menu that modifications cannot be made during busy times freaked me out because sometimes I order things without cheese due to lactose intolerance but as we were ordering and asking questions, the server suggested how she could accommodate my friend's dietary concerns with a modification to her order. The food came out quickly and was delicious and plentiful. I choose The Veggie: Two eggs cooked to order with Halloumi, crispy roast potatoes, avocado, portobello mushroom, roast tomato, baked beans and homemade tomato chutney. You can add bacon for a cost or switch the eggs/halloumi cheese with spinach if you're vegan. It was more than enough for a big breakfast. The service was friendly and efficient. Since it's cozy in the restaurant and busy during prime brunch hours, the bill was brought to our table in a timely manner. I appreciated her efficiency.

    Everything about this place was great!…read more I'll start with the service. We walked in around 4:10 and they didn't start food service for another 20 minutes. The waiter was super cool and told us to have a seat anywhere we liked and brought us a drink menu. He knew we wanted to eat so at exactly 4:30 he came and took our orders. Through out the meal he was on top of everything and even offered many suggestions! The food was spectacular as well. I had the trio of fries and my friends had other small plates that were all so good! And the sauces that come with the fries, mamma mia! We also shared the Boca's Platter and it was absolutely to die for. Do not pass this up. I repeat, do not pass this up! Between 4 people, the medium was plenty of food. The space itself was also nice. They had outdoor seating for nicer days. We went right when food service began on a Monday afternoon so can't speak to how busy it gets during peak hours. Go for the great service, go for the Boca Platter, whatever you do, just go!

    Our first stop in Amsterdam for a late lunch. We ordered mushroom bruschetta, 1 medium boca…read moreplatter(meat,cheese,fish), three kinds of fries and of course STEAK TARTARE. The bruschetta was delicious and if you love blue cheese, get it...it's extremely rich and creamy. The three kinds of fries were solid; curly, sweet potato, and regular with some chili ketchups. The boca platter was HUGE and we got the medium for 4 people. Came with steak, fried shrimp, mackerel potato salad, crostini, and an assortment of cheeses and some pepperoni. Last but not least...my favorite...the tartare. The quail egg was delicately placed atop the center of the meat and placed alongside the four little crostini on the plate. It was juicy and had so much flavor, a little spicy but not an overwhelming amount of chili spice. This meal reminded me of tapas in Madrid; definitely stop by bocas and get everything!

    Coffee & Coconuts, seriously another amazing cafe that I visited during my trip in Amsterdam!…read more This cafe is hidden on the outside, but once you step inside, it is massively huge with three stories of dining tables. After waiting to be seated, our hostess guided us upstairs to the third floor, where they have several more dining tables and cozy couches that you can sit on while you enjoy your coffee. My parents, having visited this cafe before during their last trip to Amsterdam, raved about this place and suggested that I try their famous coconut coffee. All three of us ordered their coconut coffee, with my dad adding an espresso shot to his own so that he could stay awake for the rest of the night. Once I reached that first sip, OMG. SO DELICIOUS. How can I make my own coconut coffee back at home?! I loved it so much that I really want to make a copycat of it. The straws are also bendable, which really makes it handy if you need to lower your straw a bit. If I could, I would get on a plane to Amsterdam just to come back for their coconut coffee. That's how delicious it is! Local or tourist, I strongly suggest Coffee & Coconuts. You will not regret coming here at all!

    Fantastic ambiance. Friendly service. Excellent food and drink options…read more Casual, trendy, comfy spot for just coffee or a full meal. - Coconut Coffee: A delicious iced drink, rich in coconut and strong coffee flavors. - Royal Apple Juice: Very refreshing blend of apple, carrot, ginger & lime juice. - Kimchi Toast: Good, filling. Not too spicy at all. - Smoked Mackerel Sandwich: A whole, huge mackerel fish is served atop this toast. Yum! Bathrooms are located on European first floor (for Americans, that's not the ground floor. It's equivalent to the 2nd floor).
