The only tips I have is to be more inviting to people that come in. I was seated for more then 20 min and no one took my order. I had to walk to the bar to order my drink. Overall a nice and chill place. Would definitly go again!

Coffee, and tea served with windmill cookies that far superior to even the best store bought windmill cookie. Ollie Bol, a doughnut type pastry (no hole) was egg-y, fluffy and doughy, and delicious. The cookies are big, fresh, and taste like all ingredients in the cookie not just sugar. The chocolate chip cookies stay in my dreams. I have not tried the loaf breads but they look wonderful. The gorgonzola cheese and fig jam sandwich on spelt baguette was interesting pairing and enjoyable. The spelt baguette was the best--crunchy outside, soft inside very flavorful (unlike spelt products I've had in the States). Le Perron on Middenweg has been my morning go to spot while in Amsterdam. Fyi...this bakery cafe far exceeds Le Pain Quotidien and shames Le Madeleine versions that exist in the States.

Feeling a little jet lagged on my first day in Amsterdam, I sojourned from the hotel and found this…read morelittle beer garden about 1/2 a mile from where I was staying. What a find. The local beers were exactly what you would expect from a Dutch beer garden - but the chicken, worth the trip. I did a half roasted chicken (with fries) and this was easily the best chicken I've ever ordered in a restaurant - anywhere. Cooked perfectly - it arrived at the table juicy and had a peppery smell. The spicing was a perfect mix of pepper, garlic - and I think a touch of curry (they wouldn't tell me). I am going to spend the next 6 months here at home trying to recreate the dish. BTW - the fries, cooked properly (twice fried) and in duck fat.

Reliable neighborhood Vomar that just works…read more This Vomar in Watergraafsmeer is one of those supermarkets that quietly does its job really well. Prices are fair, which already puts it ahead of a lot of other options in Amsterdam. I don't leave feeling like my wallet was personally attacked. Big plus for the paid parking lot -- not free, but worth it if you're doing a proper grocery run and don't want to play "find a parking space" for 20 minutes. In and out, done. The selection is solid: good produce, decent bread section, all the everyday basics covered, plus some fun seasonal stuff that somehow ends up in my basket every time. The store is generally clean, organized, and easy to navigate -- no maze-like layout designed to test your patience. Location-wise, it's super convenient for Watergraafsmeer, whether you're walking, biking, or driving. Staff are friendly, and checkout usually moves along pretty quickly (always appreciated when you're hungry and carrying melting ice cream). Could they have more specialty or organic items? Sure. But for normal, no-nonsense grocery shopping, this place delivers. Bottom line: Fair prices, easy parking, good location, and no drama -- which is honestly exactly what I want from a supermarket.

I'm not sure how things go in the Netherlands but the store was very chaotic product wise. There was trash on the shelf's from people opening products to grab one as opposed to the entire batch. I was very confused. The workers (mostly young kids) were not helpful and were more into talking to each other (typical high school workers) like I said I don't know how things work in the Netherlands but I expected their customer service to be a bit better. But prices are chip at this grocery store and it seems to be a local favorite.

The beans they roast are also excellent and reasonably priced with a wide range of roasts and options available.
