so normally, i'd think: Happy Tosti is a chain (strike 1). this location is inside a massive shopping complex (strike 2). and then not get to strike three because why? but oh, so glad we gave this a chance. this Happy Tosti is SO HAPPY!
first of all, tosti is Dutch for "sandwich." well, kind of. specifically, a ham-and-cheese sandwich, but there's all kinds of variations on that here. what you need to know, o traveller (i'm assuming you are because a) you are reading my English review and b) this is very close to Schiphol and all associated airport hotels), is the following:
- there is an English menu. just ask nicely for it at the cashier. and don't worry, the Dutch are quite kind about speaking English.
- super friendly service. see above.
- the prices are quite fair for what you're getting.
- and what you're getting is serious sando yumminess. there are some delightful combos, and everything is quite customizable since it's all made to order.
- the bathroom is free and clean and has a very cool construction.
- there is seating inside -- including on real swings! it does not get cooler than that.
- and there is seating "outside" -- yes, you're in the mall, but it's decorated to feel like it's outside. nice touch.
- and very family-friendly -- you're right next to a kiddie playspace.
like i said: SO HAPPY! read more
