On our last night in Amsterdam, we had dinner at Small Talk, a restaurant just minutes away from our hotel. I had chicken and my husband had steak. The food was good, but not particularly memorable. [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; Amsterdam, the Netherlands] read more

Enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere is pleasant and owner and staff pleasant. My food was very good but the heating of the food was inconsistent with portions nicely hot and other parts at room temperature at best. Service was good. read more

Great location right near the Rijksmuseum. We got there at 9, but the kitchen wasn't open until til 9:30, so we just ordered coffee and a croissant. Both were amazing. Very friendly staff. The first floor is small inside, but they have upstairs seating, and patio space for better weather. read more

Food was delicious!! Service was awesome!! Coffee was the best! The atmosphere was the best!!

"Bittersweet memories" I came to this cafe after a recommendation from a kind security guard. It was raining and dark outside as I was cold, hungry and in need of WiFi while waiting for my uncle to pick me up after visiting the Rijks museum with my brother. Initially we were denied entry by a man near the door. He claimed that there was no space for 2 but I guess later changed his mind after I asked if I could at least sit outside. My brother thought the waitress was rude but I didn't think so as some Dutch people I know can be quite blunt. Another man escorted me to the restroom upstairs where the classier people seemed to be, and I enjoyed the courtesy. (Added to edit: I found out this man is the owner! That surely explains his professionalism and good hospitality) The hot chocolate was nice and I like how it came with a cookie. I wish I had ordered a meal, but I didn't think I'd have time to finish it. The apple pie was okay, however I liked the ice cream and caramel lattice garnish. (On a side note some random man approached us and offered us tickets to a concert. I don't know if he was being generous or had sinister intentions as I've heard stories about the city of Amsterdam. He sorta eased the tension in the air so I'm grateful for that. Later I tried to look up his name to no avail so maybe it was an angel.) read more

Small Talk - Apple pie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This place is tiny, and you might pass it by like we did on a hunt for brunch. After walking to where we planned, the restaurant had changed names and was closed! So we made our way back towards the museum quarter and grabbed a tiny spot in front of a window. Service was slow and not overly welcoming or friendly but I think that is my American perspective. So glad we were patient! The gentleman that served us was hilarious and had a very dry sense of humor. He made our breakfast so much fun! Our lattes and peaches and cream pancakes were absolute perfection! read more

Had the French onion soup and Nutella pancake... Yum! Atmosphere and service were good.

Loved this place! My favorites were the apple pie which is more like apple pie filling with cake on bottom and top. Was in Amsterdam 3 days and had it twice . Also had the Danish pancake and it was amazing. Also had a good selection of hot teas . Service was a little slow, but we enjoyed sitting at a table on the sidewalk and enjoying the day. read more

This is the first place I tried the popular pancake dish in the Netherlands. With so many great options of savory and sweet, it was difficult to decide so I asked our very helpful server for a suggestion. He said his favorite was the apple, and honestly this was the best dish I had in my entire European vacation. I ordered pancakes at several other restaurants around the Netherlands and none came close to the delicate texture and flavorful bites I had at Small Talk. A few of my friends had the other kinds like bacon and ham and one friend enjoyed a beautiful looking salad. We were all very satisfied with our meals and the service was superb. We just happened to come across this restaurant while visiting the nearby museums, but I would highly recommend seeking out Small Talk for a lovely brunch or lunch, you will not be disappointed. read more

I spent a morning in Vondelpark basking in the sun and taking in a good book. I knew that I wanted to pop over to the contemporary art museum in the early afternoon but knew I needed some food in my stomach and some caffeine to carry me through the rest of the day. I decided to go for something in between my current location and the museum and Small Talk was the best in terms of location. If I was rating my experience on food alone, the experience would probably be closer to 3 stars. My burger and fries sadly left me a little disappointed and tasted like it was fresh from a freezer. My cappuccino however was delightful and oh-so-photogenic. The entire restaurant was charming and the staff only added to that experience. I sat at the counter and interacted with a couple of the baristas/wait staff. All of the staff went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. I think with a little more "umph" in the menu Small Talk would truly become a staple. All in all, Small Talk would be a great spot to stop and fuel up on caffeine but I can't yet make a strong recommendation for their kitchen options. This would definitely be a great spot to grab a cappuccino before heading to Museumplein. read more

Went by at 8:50am, front door is open with chair blocking entrance. Asked if the were open and was told to come back at 9 am. We're back at 9:05 and sat down outside, and employees inside saw us, waited 10 minutes and no one comes out. Forget this place, rude and arrogant service. read more

Good food and fair pricing for Dutch food! We had a school group and no reservation on a week day for lunch. The waiter was nice and funny and seated us upstairs in the restaurant. I tried the chicken satay meal with salad. Very delicious peanut flavor!! The Dutch pancakes looked good as my students ordered many of them. read more

We had a good time in Amsterdam except for this place. We were hungry that day and sat at the table for about 15 minutes unserved. When I went to ask a waiter or manager there, he was very rude and told me to go back where I sat. We left for some place else. The experience was extremely unpleasant. read more

A nice little coffee shop, very close to museum square and a great place to sit and enjoy watch the world go by. The coffee is nice and strong. Also, the up stairs space is pretty cool! read more

We stumbled upon this cute place while strolling our way to the Rijks Museum . While sitting waiting for our menus, I noticed a gentleman sitting near us being served a cup full of what looked like leaves in water . I asked what that was and the waitress said it was mint tea...I just had to try it. I'm very glad I did ! I had been dealing with a cold/cough for a bit and this was the perfect remedy, especially since it was served with honey ! Both the boyfriend and I ordered the banana pancakes...perfection ! It was more like a banana crepe , served with powdered sugar and maple syrup. Yum-o! I loved sitting on the sidewalk on a beautiful sunny day doing our favorite activity...people watching . My only complaint is when I wanted more hot water for my lovely mint tea , our waitress said I would have to be charged for another one. I loved it so much I said it was okay, and out came a brand new hot cup of water with mint and basil leaves generously stuffed in it . My boyfriend said it was probably because they don't want people ordering more and more hot water and just sit there all day . Overall, the experience was simply lovely . read more

I didn't end up eating here because of the smell of the sewer and rude server. I can't rate the food. I wanted to have something to drink here as my child was napping, but the smell from the sewer by the street was too strong and off-putting (the drink menu, by the way, offered over-priced common items). As I was excusing myself to leave after sitting for less than 5 minutes, the server made a very rude remark, "Oh, I see, so you just wanted a place to crash..." Incredibly rude. The server could have asked how she could help, maybe a table inside instead, or further away from the sewer. Instead, she was very rude. read more

A cute coffee house in Amsterdam, with its narrow but antique-style interior. Definitely go up to the 2nd floor for people watching. The coffee is decent and the banana pancake I got was simply yummy. read more

Great spot for a coffee. Imagine this - you've been out shopping or strolling along the museumplein and you're a bit in the mood for sitting down. You could try one of the very touristy options easily found along your route or you could drop by here. Because, while you would imagine a Small Talk to be jam packed with tourists, it's actually as Dutch as it could get. The ladies behind the counter are really welcoming and will help you practice your Dutch sentences, with a chuckle, of course. The coffee and other warm beverages come out quick. I ordered a coffee verkeerd and it had lots of delicious milky foam on top. The teas were your stock brand but the water was hot . The best part - watching Amsterdammers and tourists go by. Surrounded by windows, Small Talk is perfect for people watching or for gathering motivation to shop some more. The seating is cozy and you're sure to chat up some strangers as well, just like I did when I wished someone a good day in perfect Dutch! Great spot! read more

Yes, I had better places than this one. Several impressions in a quick round up: - the place looks like it hasn't been touched for at least 40 years, old, used and yet not uncomfy - the waiters were recruited during the last touch up at least 40 years ago. They are as old as the place with the humor of the time. Some might find that funny, I found it somewhat disturbing and yet, they were kind and attentionate. - the food is basically of a brasserie, so you'll find the entrecote, the steak, the steak tartare, filet de dorade and some more exotic stuff. But all with a very dutch touch. Who would think of an Entrecote with pepper sauce and vegetables? A Wiener Schnitzel with a Roquefort sauce? or the best, Chicken satay with bread and french fries? and yet, the food was ok. So all in all, I've seen and eaten better, but it was ok. The place is close to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, PC Hooftstraat and so on, so if you're around there and hungry, you can get worse in Amsterdam. read more

Near the Van Gogh museum. Stopped for coffee and an early morning breakfast. A bit rough around the edges, but food was good. read more

Small Talk - Breakfast! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

3.5 stars Ate here a few times and found it to be satisfactory. Enjoyed the croissants, cappys, dutch apple pie, and fresh-squeezed OJ in various combinations. Appeared to be open early and had a good selection. Not sure I'd recommend this place for large groups as it was on the smaller side, or you may want to call ahead and check on availability. read more

I went into this restaurant this morning with a friend for breakfast. It's over priced, small and not enough of a selection. The waitress was so rude. I asked for a big cup of ice and water and she said "they don't do that!" Only bottled water here. Then my friend was going to get a full breakfast that was over $25 and I didn't find anything I wanted. She basically told me order or leave. So we both left. So rude. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. read more

After a long visit to the Rijksmuseum we needed a coffee and found this very friendly corner cafe. Full of locals and tourists with an unusual upstairs wooden verandah, INSIDE. As we only had coffee I can't comment on the food but, what I saw, it looked really good. Very interesting decor all around with the usual Tiffany lights and, chandeliers LOL read more

Cool breakfast place very close to Van Gogh museum. The waitress was very nice and spoke perfect English. The coffee was good and the breakfast was nothing special. If you are in the area and are looking for a very quick place to grab a bite, this would be a decent option. read more

Small Talk - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Had not even been there for a minute when the female server rudely shoved past us without saying a word and aggressively said "I don't have room for so many people!!!" There was only 4 of us and plenty of open tables with seats for 4. We walked out without staying for the food because of how rude she was. Could not imagine being served by someone like that. read more

Had two breakfasts here. Food was top quality as was the service. Particularly good croissant. Cappuccino was very good and they have a unique brown table sugar. I'd recommend for Americans looking for casual food in this area. read more

Everyone was so nice. Easy to follow menu and everything was made to perfection. There's indoor and a closed in outside part that is nice too because they have overhead heaters so your just as comfortable inside or out. I highly recommend. read more

I do not understand how this restaurant is always packed with people except that they have tables in the sun sometimes and it is so close to Museumplein. The food is mediocre at best, but the staff is indeed very personable. The food reminds me of elementary school cafeteria fare. The uitsmijter is about the only thing on the menu I can tolerate. read more

When i went the people and the service were really slow. There were only 2 people working and they were both in horrible moods. It was a table of 5 and we asked to split since the beginning and they agreed. After the dinner they refused to let us split the bill!!!! Outrageous!! read more

Popped in for a light early dinner. We got to see a lot of customer interactions while we waited and ate our food. There were different "rules" for different people. If you spoke English, you can not order tap water, you can not sit upstairs without ordering food, if you ask if they are serving food, you are sent next door, you cannot take a table if there are two people but only one is getting a drink, and if you are getting coffee to go, you can't use the toilet. If you speak Dutch, you get warm service and can use the toilet without purchase. The food was good but overpriced. Clearly they do not want tourist business, so don't waste your money here. read more

Food was fine. 2 stars for nasty water, who were trying hard to push her bottled water on. I refused. I had my own water bottle, which I had a sip from. This water nazi jumped on me telling me I can't drink my own water. Enjoy the review, you gridy nasty waitress. read more

Unbelievable breakfast very near the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. We sat upstairs and watched the bikers go by. Breakfast was huge and delicious. read more

I rarely give restaurants bad reviews but this restaurant deserves one. I don't want any tourists wasting their time, money or taste buds on this restaurant in museumplein. The good we ordered was bland and oily. I received the weirdest mixed salad of picked vegetables covered in oil. There were bones and no seasoning in my daughters fish. The restaurant was dirty, run down and my kids said they saw a mouse. The service was decent but that would be required with such a lack luster product. read more

Dissapointed for first night in Amsterdam. Food was served within 5 min of ordering which I though strange and tasted and looked like it. I hope this is my worst meal here as I have another 5 days. read more

I've never eaten proper food here, but I don't want to return. I've had coffee and a cake and the coffee was so terrible as to be basically undrinkable. And the atmosphere is rather cold and uncomfortable. We didn't have any problems with the staff except that they weren't super friendly, but that's nothing new in Amsterdam ;-) To be fair I was only in the "coffee corner", so perhaps the restaurant is better. read more
