The first day - we ordered take away and I got a sesame bagel with plain cream cheese and their sweet iced coffee. It was VERY sweet. The bagel was crispy on the outside but still soft and chewy inside. Very good. So good that we went the next day but this time to sit in. I ordered a chai latte. It was just like Starbucks which is usually the place I like it from the best. I got an everything bagel this time. They also have flavored cream cheeses. I also had orange juice. The juice was freshly squeezed. Very good.

BBROOD ("brood", pronounced "brode", meaning "bread" in Dutch) is a chain of bakeries advertising…read morethat they only use sourdough in their breads which is great because this makes the use of raising agents redundant. In a review of Vlaamsch Broodhuys I stated: "... [sourdough bread is] the only "safe" bread i.e. there are no raising agents used in the process of making this bread. (raising agents prohibit the intake of most minerals because they form a membrane around them in your body and you flush them out of your system without absorbing them)". One of the minor symptoms of frequent consumption of regular bread is therefore fatigue. Moving on; Although the sourdough bread at Vlaamsch Broodhuys has a more authentic recipe, some of the sourdough breads at BBROOD taste much better and also considerably less sour (and thus appealing to more people perhaps). I particularly like "Spelt". A whole loaf costs €4 but in all fairness, it's roughly the same size of half a loaf of sourdough bread from Vlaamsch Broodhuys. Another great thing about this particular franchise of BBROOD is that it's even open in the weekend!!!

We quickly ordered a couple lagers and enjoyed the cool night and watching people try to take cover from the rain. I've seen this place really busy on a nice sunny day but there isn't anything super special about this place. Just a consistent bar/restaurant to grab a drink.

(Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any photos of the cafe's resident cat.) I can't comment on the food as we only had drinks. I had wine, and my husband had beer. The price of the wine, at €5.90, was alright, but a pint of beer was €11! [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Cats]

Yoghurt Barn just took it to a new level! Not only do they sell their delicious signature yoghurts,…read morebut now they also have a cute assortment of "Barn store" products such as superfoods and slowtea in the cutest 'weck' jars. I already loved the fact that superfoods had been added as possible toppings for a delicious yoghurt or smoothie, but there are more additions to the menu: High tea, High choc, Barn breakfast, Barn brunch, Barn lunch, Barn bite and an assortment of delicious Barn snacks. All ranging from naughty cakes&biscuits to healthy sandwiches and dips. I know I can't wait to try everything so I keep coming back every Monday with le boyfriend to sit back, relax and have some down time before out busy weeks start up again. So, Yoghurt Barn, I already thought you were amazing, but now I think you're the best!

One of my favorite places in Utrecht. Besides froyo they also offer other kind of yoghurts, such as…read moreskinny yoghurt, farmers yoghurt and the typical Dutch 'hang op' (which is my favorite). They also have lactose free options such as soy and goat yoghurt. They serve Bocca coffee which is one of my favorite coffee brands. Also their chai is really good. Even if you're not into yoghurt it's still a nice place to hang out, study or work (there's wifi!) with a cup of coffee.

Melly's Stroopwafels failed to deliver my order and refused to issue a refund. When my package…read moreended up in a pickup locker without an access code, I contacted them multiple times -- they ignored every email for weeks. Under EU consumer law, a seller is legally required to ensure proper delivery to the customer. Melly's Stroopwafels not only failed to do so, but also blamed me for the delivery failure, despite knowing the package was still sitting uncollected in the locker. I had to fight for five months through my credit card company to get my money back -- a chargeback they even disputed. Melly's Stroopwafels does not take responsibility and does not respect basic consumer rights. Order at your own risk.

Three star coffee, one star cookie. That's the real deal with Melly's Cookie Bar. For a place with…read more"cookie" in the name, I expected a much higher quality cookie. I was disappointed. We stopped in for a quick coffee and treat and were warmly greeted by the woman working the counter. The assortment of baked goods were tempting but since this was a cookie place, we got a traditional chocolate chip to share and a couple of cappuccinos. It's awesome too that Melly's provides FREE TAP WATER for customers. This is something that just isn't done in most of Europe. It's out on the counter with little self-serve glasses so there's no awkwardness of having to ask for it. The coffee was great and as expected, but the cookie was a colossal letdown. Melly's committed the worst sin of all for a bakery: the cookie was stale! Considering that Amsterdam is the home of what I consider THE best cookie in the world, Van Stapele Koekmakerij, it just seems a shame to waste carbs and calories on a place like Melly's. I did like the limited seating here, making it a great place to rest your feet (as long as you come at off times to avoid crowds). Grab a stool in the window and you can people watch 'til the cows come home.

That's when I fell upon De Drie Graefjes and their cozy corner location. I sat down right away and was given a menu by a waitress that didn't really want to be there and/or really dislikes Americans lol.. maybe she was tired of tourists? ANYWAY, I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich on corn bread which came with a side salad and tortilla chips. It was nothing short of amazing. The portion was HUGE and this smoked salmon was the best I had on my trip (and I just so happened to eat a ton of smoked salmon since it's a very popular brekkie/brunch option here). The corn bread, baked in house, was to die for. I shouldn't have eaten that whole sandwich, but I did... and then I moved onto the salad. The dressing on here was super fruity (maybe blueberry? Not sure, but it was delicious). Unexpected flavors but totally genius. A different and much friendlier waitress brought me my check, and then I paid. When I left, the first unfriendly waitress almost chased me out the door for not paying the check (with her) until her colleague also confirmed I had already paid. Guilty until proven innocent at this place, apparently. So, all in all, 5 stars for the food and ambiance and negative stars for the waitress who treated me like a criminal, basically lol ***FYI, I met a TON of people in Amsterdam and almost everyone was friendly and chipper. Just not that first waitress. I may or may not be salty about this still.
