We…read moreordered a cortado and a matcha latte and then an oatmeal cranberry cookie to share (the samples up front enticed us). The one staff person was welcoming and helpful. It was fun sitting at the counter, my husband reading and me trying to catch up on Yelp. People watching was great from that large window--so many people were commuting to school and work by bicycle--it seemed like 5 times as many bikes as cars, which is brilliant. Later ax we walked around, we noticed other Stach cafes around, but this one seems the roomiest and most hospitable and the others most suited for take away.

It was almost time to head to the train station to catch a ride to Brussels but first we needed to…read morestop and grab some drinks and a snack, and that's where Stach Food came and saved the day. This small little shop offers all kinds of baked goods, candy, chips, bottled beverages, coffee, tea, and even some ice cream (although the flavours weren't anything that I currently wanted). The staff here was super nice and we ended up picking up multiple drinks, snacks, and the reason I'm mostly writing this little review, the big fluffy cookie I couldn't walk away from at the counter. This chocolate chip cookie was soft and crunchy at the same time, you know, the way a perfect cookie is, and it was delicious. Overall, Stach Foods is a clutch spot to stop at for a baked good and a drink and if you like fruity soft serve flavours, you gotta give those a try too.

We wanted to find somewhere to eat within a short walk of the Museumplein as we had 1:15 p.m…read more tickets for the Rijksmuseum. My wife located this place and we met up with our daughter there after she dropped off her rented bike nearby. If you walk to the far end of the park from the Rijksmuseum and turn left at the street that borders the park there, the restaurant is about 2 blocks along there. You enter into a small waiting area and proceed between 2 counters. The best way I can describe the process is that it was like an ice cream shop in the U.S. They had glass displays showing what was available for meals - varieties of pasta, etc. You could select from those, or I think they had salads also. You place your order and then grab a table. A server will bring the food out when it is ready. Seating was a bit limited, so there could be a wait for a table. We arrived just before they got busy, though. They have about 5 or 6 small tables on the ground floor. If those are full, a fallback option is to ascend the spiral stairs up to a low-ceilinged loft. This is where we ate. The chairs here were fine but the tables were quite small - almost like a high coffee table. It wasn't hard to eat off these, just a bit different than usual. Also, if you are much over 6 feet tall, the ceilings will require caution. They can probably accommodate another 3 - 4 small parties up there. Everyone liked their food, which definitely had that 'prepared fresh' vibe. I got the pasta and had no trouble finishing it. I'd definitely consider eating here again were I back in the area.

Mostly semi Italian deli items. I had ravioli, stuffed mushroom, roasted veggies, rocket and generous parmigiana sprinkling. They have tables so we could eat there.

Lovely neighborhood small deli.

I discovered this place accidentally on my first trip to Amsterdam, but I've made it a point to revisit it every time since. The cheese is unbelievable, but the best part is that they have samples of EVERYTHING out for you to try. It's a tiny tiny tiny store, but packed with so much variety and quality that you'll never want to leave. I love to come here, pick a sandwich (my favorite is a warmed up Vintage, but the brie sandwiches are also all pretty good), try the samples while I'm waiting for my sandwich to be ready, and then take the sandwich to go as I continue to stroll around the canals. This place is pretty nostalgic, but I think it's rather objectively a true gem of Amsterdam. It's right next to the church by the red light district, which is a super close walk from Centraal Station. tl;dr -- do yourself a favor and pay this deli a visit. or two!

We wandered the streets for a while until finally seeing a bright yellow sign down the street that said "Hot Crispy Bacon" - we were sold. The man behind the counter didn't speak great English and we didn't know exactly how to order, but we told him we wanted some bacon and he understood perfectly! We are not picky people at all, so we were totally fine with how he selected our bread, meat (in addition to the bacon), cheese, and sauce to make two absolutuely delicious sandwiches for us. What made it even better was that the total cost for both of us was less then 10 euros - totally worth it. If we ever find ourselves in Amsterdam again, we will be coming back!

It's the most classic Dutch sandwich bar I have found in town, and almost everything is homemade. I think this is my favorite classic Dutch "fast food" restaurant in Amsterdam, mainly because my mother grew up in Holland and she always used to talk about eating steak tartare broodje with hard boiled egg, onion and mayonnaise in the 1950s. Their homemade steak tartare broodje is outstanding. The homemade Dutch pea soup is only available during cold months and it's also fabulous. In summer they have a mushroom soup, but I haven't tried it yet. If you wanna be really Dutch, order a glass of buttermilk with your broodjie. They also have regular milk and lots of soft drinks. It's just classic and delcious traditional Dutch food; really good and so fresh and you can watch it being made. Everyone that works here is also so nice. Try the kipsaté croquette which tastes like a Thai saté stick. Don't forget the yellow mustard. The server may tell you it makes it taste even better. So fun to sit at the bar counter inside, and they do have a few tables outside for sunny days. I love the decor, the funny expressions about croquettes on the tiles, and the super 1950s black-and-white photos from the restaurant on the walls. This is such a wonderful place and every time I come to Amsterdam I make a pilgrimage here. It's also on a really nice and slightly diagonal street, right in the city center, that still has its old charm. They have the full menu and also a small "classics" menu; one thing I've never tried, but would like to next time, is the curry chicken salad.
